K is for Kim
Jack's POV
Kimberly Anne Crawford. Such a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. She's not like the other girls. She doesn't dress like a slut, or wear so much make-up to look like a clown. Which is a good thing, because clowns scare the shit out of me. She's amazing, inside and out. She's sweet, pretty, nice, but is vicious when you get on her bad side. I don't mean it in a bad way, I mean that she can stand up for herself, and she doesn't act like a "damsel in distress" or anything like that. I love that she's my best friend, but it sometimes hurts. I love her more than a friend. If only she felt the same way about me...
I know everything about her. No, I'm not a stalker. She's my best friend, of course I know stuff about her. From her favorite color to what college her parents went to. She knows that much about me, too. I trust her so much, that the thought of her spilling any secret doesn't even make sense. Most of the stuff about her was spilled through our game of 20 questions. We love playing this game with each other, right after Truth or Dare, though we usually play Truth or Dare with the group (Jerry, Eddie, and Milton. Sometimes Grace, Mika, and Julie).
20 questions is self explanatory, though we usually go way beyond 20 questions, so we now call it "Ask each other random questions until we can't think of any", or 'Questions' just for short. The first time we played it, it was really surprising, for the both of us. We both had no idea how we felt. The only thing we haven't spilled to each other is who we both like. Really weird... it just never came up in our games.
And then there was Truth or Dare. Our Truths were usually lame, especially with Jerry. We ask random questions, like, "What color is your pillow" or "Who's your celebrity crush". But our dares are always crazy. They go from running into the street shouting "I EAT MY PANTS" or sitting on someone's lap for the rest of the game. They're either crazy and stupid, or gross. They're sometimes awkward, but that's just what we do.
"Kim," I called to her. She turned around and smiled when she saw me. Her smile just lights up the whole room, to me at least.
"Hey Jack," She greeted me. "We're still on for tonight right?" All of us were going to Jerry's house for a sleepover. His parents were in Australia, on a business trip.
"Yeah, we're all coming," I told her. She nodded and walked slowly next to each other. I checked the time. Shit! We had to get to Jerry's.
"Kim, we have to get going. Get your stuff and get in my car," I instructed her. We were neighbors, so it worked out just fine. We rushed over to Jerry's. Everyone was already there.
"Where have you guys been? We were about to call you guys," Grace asked, suspicious. "And why are you guys holding hands?" She then smiled and gave us a knowing look. I was confused, but then realized that I was still holding hands with Kim. We both blushed and let go of each other. We all sat down in a circle, saying nothing, but sharing looks with each other. Grace was smiling at Kim, and Jerry winked at me. I rolled my eyes and glared at him.
"Anyways, who's up for some Truth or Dare?" Kim squealed. She loves Truth or Dare. We all nodded in agreement. "Alright then, Grace, Truth or Dare?" Kim asked.
"Mmm.. D- nah I pick truth," She answered.
"Okay, uhm," Kim thought for a moment, then asked, "Another lame question to ask, but I would like to know what your favorite song is right now." We all laughed. The lame questions strike again!
"I'm in love with 'The Other Side' by Jason Derulo, and I love him," She sighed. She had a dreamy look in her eyes. I looked over at Eddie, who had a jealous look on his face.
"What's so great about Jason Derulo anyways? All he does is sing and dance. Anyone can do that," He scoffed. Grace glared at him.
"Are you kidding me? He is the sexiest person in the world. He's the best singer ever, and has the best dance moves EVER," Grace began ranting.
"Grace, we get it," Julie cut her off mid-rant.
"Right, Mika, truth or dare?" She asked.
"I'm going to go with dare," Mika answered. We all watched eagerly to see what dare Grace had in mind. Our dares were unbelievable, like I said before.
"I dare you to..." Grace paused for a moment. "Go into the kitchen, get some whipped cream, and spray some on to the guy in this room your find attractive"
Mika hesitated slightly before she left the room to get whipped cream. She came back a minute later. She shook the can, and walked right over to Jerry. His eyes widened. She sprayed some on to his face and laughed.
"Mika, you think I'm attractive?" Jerry asked, once he got all the whipped cream off of his face. Mika blushed and nodded. We then went back to our game.
"Moving on, so uhm, Julie, truth or dare?" Mika asked, avoiding any question related to Jerry.
"Truth," She said. "I'm scared of dares."
"What's the best thing about Milton, in your opinion?" Mika asked her. Julie grinned widely.
"He's the smartest person I know, and he's the best looking, as well," Julie said happily. Milton smiled at her. The girls 'aawww'ed at their cuteness.
"Julie, it's your turn to ask Milton," Jerry said, obviously annoyed with the little 'pause' in the game.
"Okay, Milty, truth or dare?" She asked, getting back into the game. Jerry groaned at the nickname.
"Truth," He answered.
"Seriously? Why are you guys being so lame?!" Kim asked, frustrated.
"Milton, what's your favorite part about school?" Julie asked, ignoring Kim. We all rolled our eyes. Of course she would ask about school... TO MILTON.
"The learning, of couse!" Milton replied. "And the homework, even though I already finished all of mine, even next month's!"
"Yeah yeah that's great Milton." I cut him off. I didn't want him to go off into a rant about how amazing school is.
"Eddie, truth or dare?" Milton asked him. I zoned out after that. The game took forever. I just thought about how pretty Kim looked. The way her blonde hair frames her face and her smile. I also thought about her little snort after she laughs, which I find adorable. She's just so.. perfect.
"JACK!" Someone snapped in my face. I blinked a few times.
"Huh?" I said, snapping back into attention. Everyone was staring at me.
"Jerry kept asking you 'truth or dare' and you didn't answer," Kim told me gently. I blushed and went back into the game.
"Sorry about that, Jer. Um I pick dare," I answered. I turned my attention back to everyone.
"Okay," He said, with an evil gleam in his eyes. Oh god, why'd I pick dare?
"I dare you to text the girl you like, telling her that you like her," He told me. My eyes widened. Kim. I have to text Kim. "Unless, of course, you're chicken."
"I am NOT chicken," I answered firmly. I took out my phone and typed in Kim's number. I nervously typed in the message.
Hey Kim... I like you. I'm really sorry if this ruins our friendship or anything, because I really don't want it to. I want us to stay best friends, no matter what. I don't want us to stop being friends from a stupid game of Truth or Dare. -Jack
I nervously pressed send and avoided contact with anyone else. We then heard a beep coming from Kim. She took out her phone and read the text. I refused to look at anyone while everyone else stared at Kim. I finally looked up, and saw Kim's reaction to the text.
"Um, let's stop playing Truth or Dare now," She said to everyone, looking straight at me. I looked away. "Let's watch a movie instead." She then went back on to her phone, texting ferociously. I then received a text, knowing it was from her.
I'm the one? I can't believe you feel this way! I've liked you since I met you, back when we were 13. Why didn't you tell me? -Kim
Because I was scared of rejection. Kim, you're the most amazing person I've ever met, you know that? Anyways, we should get back with the others. We could be cuddling instead of texting ;) And BTW, that means you're my new gf ;) -Jack
Wait, when did you ask me to be your gf? Oh never mind, I want to be your gf anyway ;) Luv u -Kim
I put my phone in my pocket and so did Kim. I walked over to her and she bit her lip and smiled. I took her hand and squeezed it. We all sat on the couch and decided to watch 'Finding Nemo'. Yes, we're teenagers, but that doesn't mean we don't want to watch old animated movies from time to time. Kim rested her head on my shoulder and I kissed her forehead. Everyone else saw us cuddling, but didn't question it. They started cuddling with each other. Jerry with Mika, Eddie with Grace, and Milton with Julie. Soon, we all drifted to sleep.
AND I'M DONE! Wow, this is the LONGEST one-shot I've EVER written. I hope you guys enjoyed it. I really owe you guys from being gone. I hope this makes up for it. :) I think this is a pretty good one-shot, in my opinion. Anyways, until next time :) Luv you all!
