Lunch.
Jack made his way to sit with his friends, he set down his tray of food, then he sat down. "Hey guys."
"Hey, tomorrow is the dance," said Milton.
Jack saw Kim sitting all by herself. "Did Kai come to school?"
"No, he's sick," replied Eddie.
"I'm going to sit with Kim," said Jack.
"Why?" Jerry asked.
"She's alone," said Jack as he rose from his seat, and he walked over to Kim, he sat at her table, he sat across from her.
A smile formed on her lips, she was so happy to see Jack, she hadn't talked to him in a long time. "Hey."
Jack smiled. "We haven't talked in a long time."
"I know, I've been busy with Kai, are you going to the dance? " Kim asked.
"No, I don't have anyone to go with,"replied Jack.
"That's to bad, I'm sure you will change your mind, " said Kim.
"Nah, it's ok, dancing isn't my thing," said Jack.
"That's fine," replied Kim.
Jack got into deep thought, every time they talked they would make up jokes, he remembered some of the jokes he and her made, like go make a mud pie, go bake it in the oven, go throw it at your friend. Good times, they would always laugh together, but how they don't, to Jack it seems like he's losing her for a friend, Jack won't let that happen.
Then I should go to the dance, just to be there for Kim, no, I would look like an idiot just standing there doing nothing, nah I'm not going, but if I go, I'm doing it for love, who needs a girlfriend? I don't. I'm not going.
"Jack, Jack." She waved her hand in his face.
"Huh? What? " He stopped getting into deep thought.
Kim put her hand down. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I was just in my thoughts, " replied Jack.
"Yeah, eat up, before the bell rings, " said Kim.
Jack ate his food fast.
Kim watched him, and she ate her salad.
"Done," said Jack.
Kim looked at him and laughed.
Jack haven't hard her laugh in a long time. "What's so funny? "
"You have potato on your nose," she replied.
"Oh." Jack whipped it off of his nose with his hand and he licked his hand.
"You looked funny," she said.
The bell rang, students rose from their seats, they threw away their things, and left the cafeteria.
