(Hi guys, I read all of your reviews and I really enjoy to do so, I would also thank the readers who don't post reviews, thanks for keeping track of the story. I will introduce the exchange students in this Chapter. One of them is Yori, I didn't find her family name so I just picked a random one, the London exchange student is an OC, I created him and you can use him if you want, just say it's my character. Alright, here we go.)
After the events from that night, Tara had grown even closer of Ron, Felix and Josh. Now that her relationship with Ron was clear there couldn't be any misunderstanding, even though Monique sometimes frowned when she saw them together she knew she could trust her BF.
Ron and Monique being a couple ended up being the big news of the week at Middleton High. Of course Bonnie was really angry that the school loser ended up dating one of the most beautiful girl at school but she was also relieved Tara escaped that fate, even though she thought her friend was spending too much time with the blonde sidekick.
The news of her best friend since pre-K and her BFF dating made Kim completely ecstatic, she knew there wasn't a lot of people that could really appreciate Ron so she was happy he finally managed to start a relationship with someone. As for Monique, Kim knew she was too strong willed for most of the boys at school, mostly due to the extremely high number of Monique's first dates that ended badly, so she was happy she found someone who would like her for who she was. Maybe this was the perfect fit for them after all, she couldn't wait for their first double date with Eric but she decided to let them settle in their new relationship before inviting them.
Eric too was pleased by this news since it meant Ron had finally moved past Kim, now at the end of the year he wouldn't have to face this loser anymore.
This week was a blast and for the first time Ron practically never thought about Kim.
Then at the start of the next week, Justine Flanner left for London while the other two exchange students arrived at Middleton High.
-"Alright, listen up" Mister Barkin started, "today is the day we welcome our exchange students, I hope you will show them you're proud students of Middleton High."
-"Yeah, yeah, we know" Ron whispered to himself, "just hurry up and finish this."
-"First we welcome, from the Yamanouchi School, Yori Setsuna" Mister Barkin announced.
Ron couldn't help but smile, Yori had always been his closest friend at Yamanouchi and he was sure that was the reason sensei picked her for this. However he felt this meant a new training schedule and expected to suffer in the next days. She wore the same uniform she had when she came to Middleton last year, and Ron thought he should ask Monique to help her picking other clothes.
The other students saw Yori when she came in, bowed in front of everyone and said she was pleased to attend to this school and was looking forward to the rest of the year with us. Still the same Yori, Ron thought, he was more interested in the other student, the British one.
"And now we welcome, from the Lexington High School, Jarvis Beatable." Barkin finished.
Now entered an average looking boy, even smaller than Ron, who seemed like he didn't care to be here at all. He had short and messy ginger, almost red, hair, wore a black shirt with what seemed to be the name of a band written in red on it as well as a jean jacket and a pair of jeans competed by casual shoes. Both his pants and his shoes seemed like they had seen better days, and his jacket could be considered raggedy. Contrary to Yori it seems like he didn't take a lot of time to prepare himself.
"Hi," he started with a voice that was strangely high pitched "My name is Jarvis and I'm going to spend the rest of the year with you, I hope we can get along." Then he went to sit next to Yori.
"I expect," Mister Barkin started "that every one of you help them adapt to the life here in Middleton. Let's see… Possible and… Stoppable, come here."
Both Ron and Kim came in front of Mister Barkin who resumed "You will be in charge of showing them around the school in order for them to adapt, Stoppable since you went to Yamanouchi you will take care of Miss Setsuna, while Possible will take care of Beatable. Both of you come to my office before showing them our facilities, you are dispensed of first period."
Both Kim and Ron nodded, there was no arguing with Mister Barkin when he was like this. They waved goodbye to Monique and Eric and followed Mister Barkin to his office where he explained them their role (which was mostly to tour them around school and tell the exchange students where they could find what they would need) before letting them go.
Ron took Yori to the cafeteria first while Kim took Jarvis to the gym, Ron chose to get away from Kim a bit so that Yori and he could talk privately about Yamanouchi matters, afterall there was a reason sensei had chosen to send Yori here.
Ron's POV
Once Kim and the other student were out of sights, Ron and Yori greeted themselves "Yori, it's been a long time. How are you doing?" started Ron, "I'm fine," answered Yori, "I must say I missed you too, Stoppable-san, it feels good to see you again."
-"So, how is Master sensei doing, and everyone at school?" they spent some time catching up on the time they spent apart from each other, Yori told Ron about the situation at the School while Ron filled her about the Diablo incident and Kim's new boyfriend.
While he was talking, he couldn't see that one of his remarks had awakened the girl's interest "Kim-san didn't chose Ron-san as her partner in life? He must have felt really bad about it. Maybe this means we have a chance together…" she thought.
Finally Ron ended on his new relationship with Monique, which left Yori completely stunned. "That girl with Stoppable-san? There is no way… How can she even think she deserves him? I'm going to fix this, I decided to pass in order for Kim-san to go toward Stoppable-san but since that's not the case I'll show him which kind of partner the chosen one deserves."
"You coming along?" Said Ron, pointing her toward the classes. She followed him and he resumed talking, "I guess Master Sensei didn't send you here for the rest of the year just to check up on me?"
-"You're correct, Stoppable-san" she answered, looking right into his eyes "Sensei decided it was time to resume your training."
Kim's POV
They were walking in silence and Kim was wondering how she could lighten the situation. This guy wasn't even looking at her, how was she supposed to show him around? She thought, when suddenly…
"Considering the fact you can do anything, I guessed showing me around should be easy but even for you, doing it without talking would be impressive." He started. Kim stopped dead in her tracks, realizing she had been so lost in her thoughts she forgot to detail him the classes they went by. "Oh, shit I'm sorry, let's go back a bit…"
-"No it's ok, I looked on the doors to memorize the classes we went past, it's just it could be much better with some sound." He said with his typical high pitched voice.
Kim started laughing, then she realized it had been a while since she laughed like that, her dates with Eric weren't full of laughs even thought they were full of other things.
-"Yeah, you're right" she answered, they kept going forward, this time while talking.
Jarvis started, "So, I'm being toured around the school by a world famous teen hero, seems like I will already have something to brag about when I come back."
-"So, now that you have something interesting you're going to leave already? I didn't thought your stay would be that short." Kim answered.
-"Nah, unfortunately you will have to endure me for the rest of the year, plus I don't consider things like this to be interesting enough. It's just a tour, nothing especially interesting."
-"Really? What would be interesting?" Kim asked.
-"I don't know." He answered, "Maybe something like how did Kim Possible became a teen hero." He said after a bit of thoughts.
-"It's nothing really special you know," she answered "I created my website to offer my help for babysitting and things like that, then the first hit we had was from someone trapped by his own security system, I went and helped him, since then I kept getting these kinds of requests."
-"And you think it's nothing special? Most people would have ignored this kind of request or called the police, you went and, more important, you succeeded. That's huge." He paused before asking "Why did you decide to take that request?"
-"I was going to refuse it when why best friend, Ron Stoppable, told me I should go and help this guy, that's all." She answered.
"Stoppable…" he thought, "that's the guy who is touring the Japanese girl?"
-"Yeah, and he's also my sidekick during missions" she added.
-"Oh yeah," he reacted, "that blonde we sometimes see on TV with you?"
-"That's him," she said "we should go, second period is starting soon. Your class is… over there." She said pointing him in the right direction.
-"Thanks," he answered "hum, do I see you at lunch?"
-"Sure," she answered before quickly adding "I'll introduce you to my boyfriend if you want, he's the quarterback of the football team, I'm sure he can introduce you to some people."
-"Great, see you at lunch then" he said while the bell was ringing the end of the first period.
-"See you." She answered before going right into the crowd of students in order to find Eric. Something was puzzling her but she couldn't point it, she found Eric and he started questioning her about the exchange student, it's only when they entered their classroom that she managed to understand what was puzzling her.
Eric and she had been dating for more than 6 months and after all this time, Eric had never asked her how she became a teen hero. Or anything really personal for all that mattered, sure he was asking her how she felt was really nice, charming and sensitive, but during all their 6 months of dating he never asked her a single personal question.
That's what was puzzling her, especially due to how close they were since recently. She shook her head. Who cared if he asked her those questions? It only meant he wasn't intrusive of her private life and was waiting for her to talk about it, that's it. She pushed away that wave of uneasiness which stayed at the back of her mind, hidden but still here. Waiting for other developments to occur.
