Hey guys, I actually needed to post this chapter today so I could say... HAPPY 3RD ANNIVERSARY KICKIN' IT!
Enjoy!
"Okay, so it's settled. Tomorrow night, 7 o'clock, meet me by the alley." I command, hands on my hips.
"Sure. It's a date." Jack grins, pointing a finger towards me, nodding his head.
"No. It really isn't." I say before storming off, hearing his chuckling in the distance.
If spending more time with Jack means getting my bracelet back, I'd be glad to. Deep down, I don't think he's a bad person. Okay, so maybe he's a little irritating, aggravating, and full of himself, but he's willing to help me when I've been nothing but rude and ungrateful towards him.
I return to the living room to Grace and Julie. They don't suspect a thing. I sit down on the couch eating my cupcake, waiting for them to finish their part of the work.
After about half an hour, we go down town to the pier and get something to eat. After that, we eat some fro-yo, and then walk around town a little longer. They show me around town, introducing me to some of their neighbors and friends. We play on the beach for a while, until the sun starts to set. We walk Julie home, and Grace and I walk home, talking, and before we exchange goodbyes.
I walk through the front door, to be greeted by the lovable Daisy. She jumps on me, and licks my face, while almost knocking me over. I don't think she realizes that she's no longer a little puppy. I giggle and try to push her off me. I tell Dad and Mel about my day, about my new friends and school.
After a bit, I go upstairs to my bedroom. I remove Jack's jacket, and hang it in my wardrobe. Following my relaxing shower, I french braid my damp hair, so that it'll be wavy in the morning. I go over to Emily's room to say goodnight, and we sit on her bed for a while, discussing our day. She's made a bunch of new friends, and seems to really like Daniel, the guy that she walked off with this morning. But she then focuses the subject on me.
"So who's that guy that you were with today? He's pretty cute, isn't he?" Emily squeals, her hands on her cheeks. How did she see?! I guess that I do go to the same school as her.
"What? Who? I don't know what you're talking about." I laugh, raising an eyebrow.
"Aw, has my little Kimmy got a beau?" She coos, pinching my cheeks.
"What? No, ew. Jack and I are so not a thing." I shrug, hitting her hands off my cheeks.
"That's not what I heard." She chuckles, collapsing onto her bed.
"Wait, what?" I ask, pulling her up to sit. But she just giggles.
"Em!" I yell, shaking her.
"Alright, alright!" She laughs. "I heard that he's planning on winning you over. He thinks you're hot, girl."
Wait, Jack thinks I'm 'hot'?
"What? Where did you hear that?" I skeptically glare at her.
"I don't know. He told his friends, and I know people."
"How can you know people? You've been here for a day." I raise an eyebrow. Okay, I know that she's usually popular, but come on, her first day?
"I know right?! I'm already considered popular. Isn't it weird?" She replies, shaking her head in confusion.
"It's a mystery." I sarcastically nod my head, which makes her giggle. "Anyway, you tell your people that Jack does not like me, because he doesn't."
"How do you know that he doesn't?"
"Because he's a real jerk to me." I reply, frowning at her stupid question.
"You know what they say, some guys tease girls that they like." Emily wiggles her eyebrows, nudging me.
"That's only true for five-year olds. Trust me, he doesn't."
"Mhmm..." She quietly mumbles, so I push her down, and she pulls me down with her, tickling me.
"Kim! What's this?!" Emily gasps, covering her mouth with her hand, as she rolls up my sleeve to reveal my bandaged arm.
Oh, crap.
"You kinda weren't meant to see that..." I quietly chuckle.
"Kim!"
"Please don't tell Dad or Mel." I beg, pouting.
"Only if you give me the deets." She tells me, with a concerned look on her face.
"Fine." And with that, I tell her almost every single detail. Including that Jack saved me, and how I lost Mom's bracelet, but I was going to get it back. However, I didn't tell her about the hug, or she'd freak out.
"Hey, at least Jack was there to save you. He's a keeper!" Emily giggles, putting her arm around me, and tightening her grip.
"Okay, I'm just gonna leave now." I clench my jaw, walking to the door.
"Goodnight. Don't let Jack bite." She chuckles, blowing a kiss at me.
"Seriously, I will hurt you." I aggressively tell her, before slamming her door on my way out.
I leave the door a bit open, turn the light off then sprint as fast as I can to bed, and slip in.
I text Brett for a little while. Why does he seem to be missing me more than I'm missing him? I mean, I miss him... but the only thing he seems to be talking about is how terrible he feels after I left.
Okay, I feel awful. If he's actually being completely honest, I probably need to straighten things out with him. I'm probably never going to see him again, so whatever we had needs to end. It's mostly for his sake, right?
I'll do it another time. It's a little cold-hearted doing it so soon.
I snuggle up with Daisy, who seems to be making the most of my double bed. I close my eyes then let my fatigue take over.
I'm sorry for the disappointingly short chapter, but I'm honestly really busy. It was either this or nothing. I will definitely update tomorrow, to make it up to you, so look out for it.
Anyway, exactly 3 years ago today, the first ever episode of kickin' it aired! Remember how little they were? But, it's a month until Leo Howard's 17th birthday! They grew up so fast. *cry*
Oh, and there's also 3 days until a new Kickin' it episode, yay!
Please review, they make me feel better about my writing. So, more confidence= more chapters!
Until next time,
