"Him," she said. I followed the daintily pointed finger of my best friend Grace across the cafeteria. She was pointing to…
"Jack? No way!" I shrieked, yanking her arm down so he didn't see her pointing so obviously.
"Why not? He's totally hot and I know he'd definitely fall for it," Grace said nonchalantly examining her bright pink nail polish. "Or more importantly, you." I glanced back at Jack, taking in the dare.
"No! He's my best friend, I'm not doing that to him," I said, crossing my arms and giving her my best 'I'm not doing that' look. She just smiled and looked at me.
"I dared you to, so now you have to do it Kimmy," she whispered just as the bell rang, signaling that lunch was over. I rolled my eyes and gathered my things, dumping my tray in the garbage on my way out.
Grace just giggled and followed me repeating over and over, "Two weeks Kimmy, two weeks!"
Two weeks to make Jack fall in love with me? And she expects me to reject him if he does? How am I supposed to do that?
I shook my head and kept walking. Or at least, I tried to. I felt myself collide with someone and as I looked up I realized it was Jack, and I blushed madly as he smiled and winked at me.
"Sorry Kim, but be more careful next time. It won't always be your amazingly handsome and smart best friend you smack into," he said with a grin. I rolled my eyes and smirked.
"And what would someone do if I just happen to punch my amazingly handsome and smart best friend really hard right now?" I said sweetly, instantly forgetting about my dare with Grace. He put his hands up and backed away in mock fear and I laughed.
"See you at the dojo, Kimmy," he said, turning to the opposite side of the hallway. He hopped out of my reach just in time as I lunged toward him.
"JACK!" I yelled after him, still smiling but furious at the nickname he used. I watched him pick up speed and sprint down the hall, perfectly aware of what I was capable of doing to him. I smirked and made my way to Algebra, the dare suddenly popping into my head again.
How would I do it without messing everything up?
"Hey Kim," Jack said with a slight wave as I walked into the dojo. I smiled and greeted everyone as I crossed the space to the girls' locker room.
I was changing into my usual karate practice uniform: shorts, a sports bra and a Bobby Wasabi tee shirt when I heard the door open and a voice echo off the walls of the room, "Hey Kim, I need to ask you something. I-" I screamed and crossed my arms over my chest as Jack's eyes widened at my almost bare body. He covered his eyes, cheeks turning red, and retreated, yelling an apology over and over again.
I just stood there, heart pounding and cheeks burning. Jack had basically seen me naked just then. It didn't register as I finished changing; heart still racing and I jogged out to my locker and put my things in. I noticed eyes following me as I went over to the mats and started stretching, more specifically five pairs of male eyes.
"Um, what?" I asked, very embarrassed at this point. It was Jack who spoke first, the other guys still trying to wrap their minds around what had just occurred and more than one probably picturing me as Jack had seen me.
"Uh, I'm uh, really sorry about that. I uh, thought you were already changed…" he said, rubbing the back of his neck as he blushed again, stumbling over his words. I decided to take this as an opportunity to make Jack fall for me and I stood up and closed the distance between our bodies.
"Did you like what you saw?" I whispered, pushing myself close to him and trying to keep myself from turning beet red and backing out. Jack just stood there, trying to understand what was happening, as I pressed further. "Because, if you want, I could maybe show you again," I said, placing my leg between his and noticing him swallow rather loudly.
"Uh, Kim? What are you implying?" he said, backing away and looking anywhere but me.
"Nothing Jackie, just messing with you!" I said as sweetly and innocently as I could. Then I turned away and continued stretching, leaving him and the rest of the dojo speechless. I inwardly hated myself for doing that but if I was going to fulfill the dare, I had to take every opportunity I could to get Jack's heart racing and blood flowing.
The rest of practice went by fairly quickly, although I noticed I was getting odd glances from everyone in the dojo. I brushed it off and pretended I didn't notice and went through the drills, pretending nothing was wrong.
"Hey Jack, want to grab a bite before heading home?" I asked as we walked to out lockers and took our bags out. I bit my lip as I waited for a response, hoping he'd say yes.
"Sorry Kim, I uh, have something to do," he said, quickly slamming his locker shut and fast-walking out of the dojo without so much as saying goodbye. I instantly realized I was taking the wrong approach; I needed to be more myself, more subtle.
"What's up with him?" I asked innocently as I closed my locker and flounced out of the dojo before anybody could say anything.
A/N: Ok so here's part one of this new story! I might make this one a two or three parter, depending on how much I get done without making the chapter seem to heavy. This is for everyone who asked me why I always make Jack the bad guy, Kim's eventually going to be the bad guy (girl?) here so stay posted! And as to the reason why I usually make Jack the meanie is that as a girl it just seems easier to imagine the emotions behind the guy breaking the girl's heart, but if I want to get any better at writing I have to do things I'm not very good at, am I right? Well this might be the longest author's notes I've ever written, so I'm going to end it soon. ;) Sorry for such a short chapter, I just really wanted to get something out to show you that I haven't been buried alive or pushed off a cliff ;) Thanks for reading and please don't forget to review!
P.S. In response to lots of reviews I've gotten about my last chapter being very similar to Disney's Geek Charming, I've never actually seen the movie!
P.P.S. OVER A HUNDRED REVIEWS? I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH RIGHT NOW I COULD CRY. TT~TT Thank you so much everyone [insert a million hearts here]
