The Game - chapter 9 - finale part 1

A/N: guys. I'm legit slacking. I have so much things on my plate right now and I can't exactly do everything at once. Well, I wish. Updates aren't going to fast, I grantee you. Well this is the end, I don't know if I'm going to even make a sequel since I lost pretty much a ton of readers. I've lost probably a bucket full of inspiration to write for this story and I will say it again, I can't promise you a sequel. Anywho..

I don't want to sound like a sap or anything, but I honestly never thought this story would get this far. Thank you, thank you, thank you x100000000 for reading, favouriting, following and reviewing this story. I just can't thank you enough! BTW, have you guys heard 'Had me Hello' yet? ITS AMAZING!

(ps, sorry I didn't update like when I said I would. I don't want to keep y'all up here for the rest of the story so I'm going to make this short. Just like how I said in the beginning that I was slacking, I actually am. I planned to finish this chapter probably a month ago. But I didn't. I told myself I was going to finish it on the long weekend, I didn't. I have a ton of homework & I plan on doing some extra curricular groups/activities this year. I needa get out of this house. And I'm going to try to lighten up during school and be a social butterfly. Blehhhh. So, now that that's done, I don't really think this will make up for the 1 & a half months, but I'm sorry.)

Omg, and last thing…. OLIVIA IS DATING LUKE?! OMFG. IM SORRY BUT MY LEOLIVA SPIRITS ARE CRUSHED. But, it's Olivia's choice and I respect that.

Kim's POV

I rolled my eyes as I tapped my pen on my book. Algebra class. Who was even going to use this in the future? I opened my book and copied down all of the equations that were on the board. I'll do it at home. No one interesting was actually in this class that I could try to pass a note to. This was the last class of the day and I'm damn glad. I stared at the clock. Only a few more seconds till class was over. Then, off to the movies to stalk, or well 'monitor' how Kelsey and Jerry's date turns out.

"Class Dismissed." Our teacher, Ms. Jane muttered. She didn't get to finish her lesson.

I walked out getting my purse as I felt someone wrap their arm around me. I tried to hide a smile as I looked down.

"Let me guess, Jack?" I laughed walking to my locker.

He shrugged and did jazz hands around himself. "The one and only." Jack flashed me a grin. I shoved my books into my locker and looked at myself in the mirror looking for any flaws. I got out my press powder and patted some powder on my face. Getting some lip gloss, I coated my lips lightly with it. I batted my eyes and smiled a bit to myself. He watched intently. I looked at him from my mirror, "What?"

"Hold on a sec." He pulled out his phone while making a 1 with his finger telling me to wait.

I blinked and then an upbeat sound filled my ears. I stiffled a laugh. "What makes you beautiful? Seriously?" I smirked.

"Their not that bad." He confessed. I fluffed up my hair and turned around.

"Lets go." I said pulling Jack towards the doors. I walked out and felt a cool breeze. Taking Jack's lead, I asked. "So? Where to?" Jack said opening his car. I walked around the car and hugged my chest tightly as I opened the opposite door. "Theatres, We need to get our stalk on!" I laughed a bit.

"Your wish is my command princess Kimmy." He winked starting up the engine.

"Don't call me that." I glared playfully as Jack and I put on our seatbelts.

The car ride was filled with music from one of the hit stations Jack liked.

"And that was 'One More Night' by Maroon 5!" The radio buzzed. My eyes shifted over to the movie theatre that was now right at the next corner. There wasn't many spaces taken, after all, it was Monday. I tried to keep my thoughts off of the game and focused more on Kelsey and Jerry. Jerry better not mess up. I really hope luck was on his side today. After all, after all those moments he's had with Mr. Howard I bet Kelsey wouldn't even consider being with him.

"What's so funny?" Jack asked.

"What?" I asked back.

"You were smiling." He replied keeping his eyes firmly on the road.

"Oh." Was all I could say. He parked away from most of the cars, since apparently parking with more cars can increase the chances of scratching or damaging the car. I walked out and shut the door hard. As Jack walked beside me, I asked. "Which movie do you think their going to be watching?"

Jack made a bit of a thinking face and opened the door for me. I gave him a smile and nodded as thank you.

"I dunno really, why don't you text Kelsey?" He replied. His hands were stuffed in his pockets and I flipped out my phone. He looked a bit think-ish.

Kim Crawford (4:39): Hey, what movie are you watching?

I looked at the clothes in the window views as I felt a vibrating feel in my back pocket.

Kelsey Vargas (4:39): Hotel Transylvania.

I couldn't help but laugh. That was a children's movie, I thought Jerry would've chose "The House At The End Of The Street" but he chose that.

I shoved Jack lightly, who snapped out of his trance. "Look." I laughed, almost snorting, and putting my phone in his hands.

"Hotel Transylvania. Really?" He passed me back my phone.

"I know right?" I laughed harder and he just chuckled.

Kim Crawford (4:41): LOL, really? Have fun. (x

Kelsey Vargas (4:42): Shut it Crawford, the movies starting.

My eyes widened and I pulled Jack. "The movie's starting!" I yelled. He just blinked as I ran through the mall all the way to the theatre, hauling Jack with my spare hand. It was kind of hard first, since I was practically jogging because pulling Jack along was like pulling a sack of bring and potatoes mixed in one big fat bag with you. (Not that he was fat of course, big boys need their nutrients, I understand.)

"RUN YA MEATBALL!" I finally screamed, I swear if I kept that up I would've had abs. Real abs of course, something other than a 2 pack.

"Take it easy woman!" Jack argued back. I don't think everyone else was pleased with our idea about sprinting through the mall. Jack almost knocked down a whole family!

"Okay." I huffed. "We've made it just in time." I beamed.

"Yeah, 4:45. Great timing." Jack snorted sarcastically.

I hit him as I heard a wince in the background. We were up at the ticket booth. "2 adult tickets to Hotel Transylvania please." I said as politely as I could. I got out my wallet out of my bag. I felt an arm stop me.

"You really shouldn't." I said crossing my arms.

"But I am." He shot back.

"I have my m-" He cut me off.

"Look, do you wanna see the movie or not? We're going to be late."

"Sheesh, everyone's in a bad mood today." I muttered looking off to the left.

He slid the twenty dollar bills and collected his change. The lady smiled and gave us the tickets.

"Have a great day!" She smiled as we walked off.

We walked down the hall and found the room screening the movie which Kelsey & Jerry were at. "Come on." Jack whispered as we looked down and walked to the top. "The top is better since your not too close and you can see everyone below." He winked. I rolled my eyes and sat down. The commercial's were still rolling.

"I thought you said the movie started." Jack asked me whispering.

"Yeah, that's what Kelsey told me." I whispered-shouted back. Suddenly, my phone buzzed.

Kelsey Vargas (4:48): The movie starts at 4:50. I got you here early, I knew you would've came.

Jack nudged me and pointed to the right. About 3 seats down, was Kelsey waving to me with her phone in her spare hand and Jerry shoving his mouth with popcorn. I sighed and mentally face palmed myself mentally. Kelsey was smart and devious, well not in school but with this kind of stuff. The two both took a seat beside me. My phone buzzed again.

"The movie's starting, turn your phone off or we'll get kicked out by Joan!" Jack murmured as he stuffed his hand in Jerry's bag of popcorn.

"Hold onnnnnnnnnnn." I said dragging the n.

Kelsey Vargas (4:52): Well, is the plan over yet? Did you tell him the truth? It's been like a month already. Get it over with.

I scrunched my eyebrows together. She had to bring the plan back to my head. I pulled back the hair covering my eyes and texted back.

Kim Crawford (4:52): This may sound really bad, oh screw that. This sounds really bad, but I don't want to tell him the truth.

Kelsey elbowed my boob. I winced in pain and Jack glanced at me in worry. I gave him a thumbs up telling him I'm alright. I knew I had to tell him, but not now. Not when I've finally known him truly.

"Tell him or I'll do it for you." Kelsey muttered to me. Her eyes were locked at the screen. Mavis was right now asking her dad if she could see the human world.

"But I can't." I whispered back.

"Fine." She said as she shifted to the left, where Jack was. I shut my eyes. In a loud clear voice, she spoke. "This was all a game." Kelsey said straight forwardly to Jack.

"What? Don't speak so loud this time." Jack asked softly.

"Kim, oh dear Kimberly, doesn't like you. It was a game. To get back at you. Because of Grace." Kelsey smirked. I sunk down in my seat covering my face with my hand. I snuck a glance at Jerry, who was already really into the movie.

"And out of all times she chose to ruin the movie right at the beginning." I muttered under my breath.

"What? Please don't tell me this is true Kim." Jack said in his full voice, now standing up.

"Yes." I said quietly.

"No, look at me. Is this true?" He pulled me up now. He gripped me hard by my arm.

"Don't ever touch me like that again. Yes it is true." I snapped.

"Is this your way of getting back at me? Because if so, you did well. You got me right there." He shouted throwing his hands up in the air.

"You broke my best friends heart, and what am I supposed to do? Just sit down and watch her cry? Who do you actually think I am honestly?" I argued.

"Well I don't know actually, because I think this whole time we've been together was a lie." He said darkly.

"I guess all those photo's Truman sent were actually true then." He muttered. He was about to walk out of the theatre but I grabbed his wrist.

"Wait! I didn't plan to do this! Kelsey did! I didn't mean for it to end like this, well maybe I did. But I never thought I'd end up feeling this way." I bit my lip. I never sounded so sappy ever in my life.

"Well you can't just blame it on Kelsey. YOU, agreed to do it. YOU made it end like this. I don't even get you Kim. I swear, at first you were some total nobody, but then you suddenly end up looking hot, and then just throw yourself at me!" Jack raged.

"It was so much better when I haven't even met you. Why did I even date Grace? Her friends are fucking psycho." Jack glared at me. I don't even think he realized he sweared during a children's movie.

"My work is complete." Kelsey smirked once again looking triumphant.

"I can't stand you people. Consider us done, we're over." Jack shook his head and stormed out of the theatre. My eyes stung and a part of me wanted to get up and chase after him. I blinked away a tear and got up, but an arm pulled me down.

"You wouldn't want to do that honey." Kelsey chuckled.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"GOD WOMAN. YOU ARE SO DAMN BLUNT. I AM THE ONE WHO MADE UP THE PLAN AND EXPECTED IT TO END UP LIKE THIS. I PLANNED THIS ALL OUT. I WAS THE ONE WHO PAID AND GOT TRUMAN TO SEND THOSE TEXTS TO JACK. I DID THIS ALL!" Kelsey exclaimed.

"What texts?" I felt so stupid right now.

"The texts. I got Truman to go inside your locker and take pictures of the notebook. Of the game. Could've chosen a better combo on your lock, by the way." Kelsey sneered.

"So it was you?" I said now standing.

Kelsey nodded. "Yup."

"I thought we were friends." I crossed my arms.

"Donna finally shown the light to my eyes and finally got the memo through me. You guys are total losers. I could've been running the whole school if I wasn't friends with you and the other dweebs. You guys were the ones holding me back." Kelsey filed her nails.

"Oh so its us?" I asked slowly.

"Are you deaf? Did you not hear what I just said?"

"So we're the losers, who wiped your tears while Donna and her crew criticized you for being tacky. We're the losers who ate almost 10 pints of ice cream together when you broke up with one of your boyfriends. We're the losers who defended you since elementary school. We're the losers who actually had your back while you ditched us to go hang out with your fake so called friends. We're the losers who stood by you, and I guess that makes us even bigger losers for doing that." I shot back glaring. I ran out of the theatre and hoped I would see Jack just waiting there for me, like he always did at school. But that's practically a fairytale ending considering what happened in the theatre. I ruined the whole movie for that movie theatre full of kids, I ruined my friendship with Kelsey for being myself and I ruined my relationship with Jack.

I pushed the door that led to the front of the mall. It was raining but I just took a seat. To my left was the Bobby Wasabi dojo. Maybe Jack was in there, but heck what could I do? I messed everything up. A tear slid down my cheek and I was practically soaked.

I pulled out my phone and called Grace.

"Hello?"

"Please pick me up, I'm in front of the mall."

"Oh honey." She hung up.

I broke into a sob. I got played by my own best friend. I was feeling more pathetic than pathetic could ever feel like. I felt like pure shit. And I knew this was all my fault, as much as I wanted to blame this all on Kelsey. Soon enough on Monday my whole reputation would drop and I'd be just another nobody, as Jack described. I wanted him back, as much of a jerk he was. But I'm probably not the only one who wants him back.
