Chapter 9
Disclaimer: I don't own Kickin' It.
After I stumbled out of bed, April and I left for the showers, hoping not to see Donna. We didn't, thank god. We changed and went to the cafeteria for breakfast. As soon as I was done April lead me to Jack's office door on the fifth floor.
She knocks on the door, but there's no answer. She sighs.
"He must be asleep. Poor guy works so hard to keep this place in order." She mutters.
I nod and look down the hall. I see the one person we're trying to avoid.
"April, Donna's coming." I warn her.
April turns around then turns back with wide eyes.
"What are we going to do?" I whisper.
April starts to rapidly knock on the door muttering. "Please wake up, please wake up, please wake up."
"Hey guys. What'cha doing up here?" Donna appears on the side of us.
"Well, we're at Jack's door and she's a new recruit, what do you think?" April asks sarcastically.
"You know I've been thinking long-" Donna starts.
"Thinking…you, that's gotta be a first." April interrupts.
Donna just glares. "I don't believe you guys are a couple."
April and I look at each other before turning to Donna with tight smiles.
"Of course we're a couple. We're in…in love." I say.
"Oh please, I'm an assassin too I know body language and when a person lies. And both of your body languages last night were stiff and like you forced your bodies. And when I asked for pet names there was an awkward pause before you said it. Then when I asked if you guys had sex you had opposite answer before agreeing on one." Donna explains.
"I thought she was a dumb assassin…like Frank."
"Donna you're wrong as usual. Our body language was like that because we weren't ready to tell anybody. And the truth is we don't have pet names because I find them stupid. The name on my birth certificate is what I'm going by till I die. And we didn't agree on one answer because I wasn't ready to tell, but it's obvious Kit was. But I love her and I'm up for anything when it comes up to her." April tells Donna fake excuses with a smile on her face at the end.
"It sounded like she actually meant it."
"I still don't believe you. I want to see a kiss." Donna declared crossing her arms.
April and I poker face, but on the inside we're screaming. I look around.
"The floor is empty. Nobody would see us but the cameras."
April turns to me and I do you same.
"We don't have to prove anything to her babe." April says putting her hand on my shoulder.
Her eye just screamed please don't make me do this.
"Yes, you do. Unless you what another taste of me April." Donna says.
April's eyes widen. I glare at Donna quickly before turning back to April.
"You know what? On second thought we have to prove it." April says.
"Ok." I say with a shaky voice.
We both take a deep breath and start leaning in.
"Door please open now. It'll mean a lot."
But it doesn't open. As soon as I feel April's lips on mine the door opens. We quickly pull away to see a surprised Jack standing in the door way.
"Wow, I've heard you guys made up but not like this." He says.
"Yeah, looks like they really are a couple." Donna says and walks away.
"Morning Sir. Uh…I'll just-just go now." She says and walks off.
"We're not a couple." I say to Jack.
"But you just-"
"Donna likes April and she said that if April gets a girlfriend she'll leave April alone-"
"So you're the fake girlfriend. That might put a dapper on April's date. But that's none of my business. Come on in." Jack says walking in.
"April's date? She's made a choice already!"
He sits behind his desk and I take a seat in one of the two leather chairs in front of his wooden desk. There's a bunch of paper work on his desk and some on the ground.
"Sorry about the mess. I was looking for something. Anyway, morning Kit."
"Morning Sir." I reply.
"So I'll just start with basic information." He says as he grabs a note pad and a pen. "Age, shoe size, shirt size and sweatpants size."
"I'm sixteen. Six in shoe size. Small in shirt and sweatpants size."
Jack writes the information down. "Oh, and dress size." I give him a confused look. "Um, we may have a dance formal just for the heck of it. You get to choice a dress that's your size and not taken already. None of the girls will be wearing the same dress." He explains.
"Oh ok. Size…4? Sorry, I don't know the last time I wore a dress." I explain.
"Probably when I was 14 and went undercover for something."
He writes it down. "Any experience in weaponry and hand to hand combat?"
"Yes, I took karate for four year and I'm a third degree black belt. And I've mastered sword fighting."
"That's explains that." Jack mutters. "Did you read the rule book?"
"Yes, sir."
"What's the curfew on regular days and what's the curfew for free days?"
"On regular days the curfew is 1:45 AM, depending on the mission, and free days the curfew is 10:30 PM."
"What happens with a recruit on their first few missions?"
"They get partnered up with an experienced assassin and they can't fight over anything."
"On your free days what can you do?"
"Anything, but the big ones are making sure you're not being followed, don't do anything stupid, and don't tell anyone you're an assassin."
"Who must you respect?"
"Everyone in this clan."
"Finish this sentence. If you're given a mission you can not…"
"…refuse to go no matter what."
"What must you always refer to me as?"
"Sir."
"Fill in the blank. You will not under any circumstances…to this clan."
"Lie."
"Finish this sentence. Do not hesitant to…"
"…kill an enemy assassin."
"Do you know why that's a rule?"
"Because hesitating would be shown as a weakness."
Jack smiles lightly. "Correct. When I call you, what do you do?"
"I immediately report here."
"Fill in the blank. I think…cute." Jack smirks as I blush.
"You're."
"Answer me this. Do have a boyfriend?"
"No, I'm single." I answer smiling and he smiles back.
"Just wondering. It would be weird if a jealous guy walks in on our date this Friday at the movies." Jack says smiling.
"Did he just say date? He's just declared it like that…I like it."
I feel my face heat up even more. I stay silent and just smile.
"So, I'm going to take that as a yes to the movies?"
I nod, still not able to find my voice.
"Ok, you're dismissed."
Jack gets up and opens the door for me. Before I walk out he stops me and kisses me on the cheek.
"See ya later."
I walk through the door and he closes it behind me. I look around and the floor's still empty. I take a deep breathe and scream like a fan girl.
"Yes!" I shout, catching the attention of three people in the gym. "Sorry." I shout to they and they back to what they were doing.
I jump up and down with a big smile on my face. I calm myself down and walk down the downstairs. As I do so everybody starts leaving the cafeteria.
I wait at the door for April. She comes out of the crowd after about ten minutes. She opens the door, acknowledging me with a small nod. We walk in and I dive for the bed as usual.
"I'll be with the recruits again so I'll be out for the whole day. And I may have a mission too." She says as she gets out her clan uniform suit and shoes. "I know I shouldn't even bring this up, but don't let curiosity get to you again because I won't be so forgiving next time." She warns me as she walks out to change.
I start to think.
"Wait, what about calling my clan? I'll be on a date with Jack. Maybe before our date…yeah, we're going to the movies and I have the whole day." My mind drifted off to different thoughts. "April made her decision already, but did Jerry tell her already and chose him? Or did she take Smooth's offer?"
Suddenly the door opens and April steps in and throws her clothes on her bed. Before she leaves I ask.
"Are you going out with Smooth?"
"Yes, why do you ask?" She asks with a straight face.
"I was just wondering. I know somebody that likes you…" I quickly stop myself.
"Why'd I say that?!"
"Who?" She asks.
I stay silent. "Jerry should be the one to tell her, not me."
"Ok, you're not going to talk, so I'll guess. You know Smooth, Jerry, Sam, Carson and I. Now I cancel myself out and its obvious Smooth likes me so yeah. Sam likes this other girl his age. I recruited Carson and it is obvious he sees me as a threat, intimidating if you will and he doesn't want a girl like that." She pauses and a frown forms on her face. "So that leaves…Jerry. But it can't be he doesn't like me…right?" She looks at me. She doesn't believe it.
"He really cares about you April." I say quietly.
"He has been the one to talk to me when I'm sad. How can I not see this?" April whispers to herself. "Why didn't he tell me?"
"He was scared you'd say no."
April frowns even. "Uh, I have to go for recruit training." April changes the subject as she grabs her mask and puts it on.
I nod, knowing she doesn't want to talk about it anymore.
She nods back and leaves without another word.
"She looked sad as if she made a terrible decision. What if she likes Jerry back?" I pull my hair behind my ear. My hand skims pass the clan tattoo on my neck. My eyes widen. "Oh my gosh the tattoo! I forgot all about it. The make up is probably off by now. What am I going to do?"
I get up and walk over to the mirror on the wall. I'm able to see myself from the chest up. I turn my head to the side and see my clan's marking on my neck.
"It's so visible now! If Jack sees this on our date it's all over. If anyone sees this it's all over. I'll-I'll just have my hair down the whole time and hope nobody notices. I can get make up from a beauty store on Friday. I'll be perfectly fine…I hope."
