Chapter 12: Almost Broken Limbs and Completely Shattered Hearts
*Milton's P.O.V*
"Flight 216 now boarding first class passengers. Flight 216 now boarding first class passengers." The intercom blared. We picked up our tickets and carry-on bags as we strolled toward our flight gate.
"Whoa." Kim breathed as we boarded the plane. Our mouths dropped at the sight of the sofa-sized seats.
"This is totally swag, yo!" Jerry exclaimed, scrambling towards his window seat. I checked the seat on my ticket.
"Hey! We're sitting together man!" Eddie said joyfully. I grinned. I wasn't going to be bored on this flight!
"Window seat for m'lady." Rudy gushed, bowing in front of Miss Applebaum. She gigged as she plopped down onto her seat. A passing man winked at her. "What 'chu lookin' at fool! Back off my woman!" Rudy screamed, giving him the stink eye. We all held in laughs as the man stumbled towards his seat.
"Looks like I'm sitting next to you, Kim!" Jack smiled, turning towards her. She smiled back at him.
"Looks like I won't be bored this trip!" She replied. He laughed as Eddie, Jerry, and I exchanged a glance that said 'They are so in love'. Jerry then tilted his head slightly side-ways in confusion.
"Wait...Jack? The seat on your ticket is the one next to mine.." Jerry stated, pointing towards his seat number. Jack and Kim's faces fell as Jack sadly sat down next to Jerry.
"Well, now I'm only a few rows back from you! Not too far!" Jack said, winking at her. Kim giggled, biting her lip. I would gag if I weren't so happy for them.
*Jack's P.O.V*
Man! Stupid seat number! I totally thought Rudy would sit Kim and I next to each other! I pouted in my seat as I saw my poor Kimmy sitting alone in her aisle seat.
"Excuse me, but is this the right seat?" A boy with bleach blonde hair and blue eyes asked Kim,eyes staring down at his ticket. She looked at his seat number on his ticket.
"Yup. You've got the window seat." She answered. He looked up at her, a smile growing onto his lips as he saw the girl he was talking to. Kim looked up as well. Her jaw dropped. "Mason?!" She squealed, jumping into his arms. He laughed as he hugged her back.
"Kimmy!" He exclaimed, picking her up and spinning her around. It was now her turn to laugh.
"I haven't seen you in ages!" She said, sitting down in her seat. He sat down next to her in the window seat.
"I know! I've missed you so much." He replied, still smiling. I growled under my breath. This guy has already gotten on my bad side.
"What's bringing you to New York?" Kim asked.
"The NYKC, duh!" He joked. She laughed as she playfully shoved his shoulder.
"Oh, shut up, Mase! I'm heading there too." She replied, laughing.
"You gonna be in it this year, Kimmers?" He asked. She shook her head.
"No, but I am going as support for my dojo!" She answered. Jerry kept rambling on and on about his girlfriend, Mika, but I tuned him out so I could listen in on Kim and 'Mason's conversation. They laughed and chatted the whole way.
I fell asleep from exhaustion and maybe a little jealousy. I looked over at Kim and 'Mason'. My blood boiled at the sight. Kim had fallen asleep on HIS SHOULDER and his head rested ON TOP OF HERS. I growled for the hundredth time today.
"Woooah, Jack! What's up with you and the green-eyed monster? Are you like tight with him now?" Jerry teased. I glared at him, wiping the smirk clean off his face.
"She just puts the honey-glow in my cheeks!"I replied sarcastically, quoting the movie 'Wreck It Ralph'. Jerry laughed at my joke. We had both just finished watching the movie, well until I fell asleep..
"How did it end?" I asked. He gave me a confused face. I rolled my eyes. "The movie, dummy!" I snapped. His face brightened as he finally understood what I was asking.
"Oh well you see..." He said, whispering the ending into my ear. My eyes went wide.
"Noooo!" I drawled. He nodded, slumping back in his seat.
"Yes!" He replied. I laughed. My smile dropped as I heard Kim stir slightly against...Mason. I felt like I was going to 'vurp'. Vurp is a vomit burp...it's from the movie...ugh, just nevermind!
"Attention passengers, we will be landing in a few minutes. Please power down all electrical devices and fasten your seat belts." The pilot's voice announced over the speakers. Kim shot up in her seat,grinning widely at the guy next to her.
-(line break)-
"Alright guys, we'll take two or three cabs to the hotel. Who's going where?" Rudy asked us as we all gathered together in the airport. We shrugged. Kim kept giggling and chatting to stupid Mason.
"So, Kim, what cab are you going in?" Rudy asked, putting her on the spot.
"Hmm? Oh! Umm, I'll just go with Mason in his cab!" She volunteered, smiling up at him. He smiled back.
"Is he going to the same hotel?" Rudy asked. Kim's face fell.
"No." She grumbled. She said goodbye to Mason and gave him a hug. A long hug. TOO LONG of a hug. Anger bubbled up within me once again.
"Alright, so Jerry, Milton, and Eddie in one cab with Bethany, Kim, Jack, and I in the other one?" Rudy asked. We all nodded in agreement as we grabbed our luggage and walked outside.
"Hey, Jack!" Kim said cheerfully. I didn't even look up at her. "Hi." I said angrily. Without even looking at her face, I knew she was surprised.
"Are you okay?" She asked, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. I shrugged it off.
"I'm just peachy. Could you leave me alone now, please?" I spat. She froze. Okay, so maybe that was a little too harsh.
"Everybody ready?" Rudy called as the cabs pulled up.
"Actually, Eddie, could I switch you cabs?" Kim asked. We all looked at her with wide eyes.
"What? Why?" Eddie asked. My jaw went slightly agape.
"Because the last time you three were alone in a cab together, you got married." Kim stated, crossing our arms. We all nodded in agreement, going back into our daily routines.
"See you guys at the hotel!" Rudy said before getting into our cab. I looked through the rear window at Kim. My gut filled with guilt and sadness. I blame Mason. I turned back around, only to hear a soft knock on my window. I rolled it down as Kim poked her head in.
"Can we talk at the hotel later?" She asked. I nodded, keeping my mouth shut. She opened her mouth to say something again, but closed it again instead.
"See you there then, I guess." She mumbled, walking back towards her cab. I sighed, resting my head against the cool glass.
-(line break)-
The cab ride there was mostly quiet. Well, I was at least. Rudy and Miss Applebaum kept flirting and kanoodling with each other and Eddie was laughing his butt off while snap chatting with Jerry, Milton, and Kim.
We pulled up to the curb outside of our hotel. I got out quickly and stretched out my legs. The other cab pulled up behind ours. Jerry fell out, clutching his stomach from laughter. Kim followed, laughing as well. I red-faced Milton slowly peeked out.
"Guys...it's not funny!" He squeaked. Kim and Jerry paused for a second until they burst into laughter again. I slightly frowned. All because of my stupid, bad mood, I got to miss out on having fun with my friends! I shook the thought away. I don't care how mad I am at Kim. I'm not going to let it ruin my trip!...Even if I am a little jealous..
*Kim's P.O.V*
"See you there then, I guess." I mumbled, walking back towards my cab. I felt bad about switching cars, but Jerry, Eddie, and Milton can't be trusted in their own cab anymore...and Jack was being all grumpy at me.
We rode in silence for few minutes until Jerry started gigging. I cocked an eyebrow at him. He chuckled again as he showed me a picture he had just taken with his iPhone. I clamped a hand over my mouth to keep me from laughing. Milton had sneezed moments ago, and Jerry had luckily snapped a photo of it just in time.
"What should I do with it?" He whispered. I looked over at Milton. He still hadn't noticed our conversation.
"Snap chat it to Eddie!" I quietly replied. He chuckled silently again as he sent the picture to Eddie. He soon received a text back saying, 'Hahahahahahaha!'. I smiled at the message.
"Yo, Kim! Check this pic Eddie just snap chatted me!" He said, shoving his phone back at my face. I cracked a smile. It was a picture of Rudy and Miss Applebaum acting all lovey-dovey.
"Awww." I gushed, smiling at the picture. Jerry gave me a face, so I gave him one back. The next thing I saw was a flash.
"Jerry.." I gasped. An evil grin flashed onto his lips.
"Sent." He stated. My eyes went wide as I grabbed his iPhone. Jerry had just sent Eddie the picture he took of my face.
"Ugh!" I groaned, throwing his phone at his chest. He rubbed his chest softly over the spot his phone had hit.
"Hey, what are you guys up to?" Milton asked, finally noticing our mischief. Jerry and I shared a look before looking back at Milton.
"Nothing.." We answered suspiciously. He gave us a look that said, 'Really? Do you really think I'm going to fall for that?'. I rolled my eyes.
"Fine! We're snap chatting Eddie!" I answered, purposefully leaving out the part where we had taken Milton's picture. He beamed at us and Jerry nodded.
"Cool! Let me take a picture of you two!" He said, snatching away Jerry's phone. Jerry wrapped an arm around my shoulders as I hugged his waist. We both smiled like idiots and winked at the camera.
"Perfect!" Milton exclaimed, showing us the picture. I smiled.
"That's a keeper!" Jerry shouted, whooing in the process. I nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, we're cute!" I joked. They nodded as they sent the picture. A few moments later, we received another snap chat from Eddie. It was a picture of a bored looking Jack resting his head on the window.
My heart stung a little at the sight. Poor Jack... Milton then began to scroll through Jerry previous snap chats until he came across his sneezing photo. Milton's eyes went wide.
"What is this?!" He shrieked, a horrified expression on his face. Jerry and I burst into laughter as we explained the story to him. Milton blushed slightly.
As the cab came to a stop, Jerry fell out of the door, laughing uncontrollably. I stumbled out after him, laughing as well.
"Guys...it's not funny!" He squeaked. Jerry and I paused for a moment before bursting into another laughing fit. Eddie stood outside his cab, chuckling to himself while Jack looked...Jealous?...
"Milton, that was priceless!" I gasped, holding onto the cab so I wouldn't fall to the ground.
"Yeah, man! I can't believe you didn't notice!" Jerry teased, continuing to roll on the ground in laughter. Milton blushed even more.
"Alright guys, time to check into our rooms! Grab your bags and lets get a move on!" Rudy says, herding us toward the hotel doors. I find myself standing next to Jack. He stiffened beside me. As we got up to the front desk, I tried to look Jack in the eye, but he avoided my gaze. I finally through my hands up in defeat, grabbed his arm and led him away from everyone else.
"Jack, what is going on with you? Ever since we got off the airplane you've been avoiding me! Did I do something wrong?" I asked. I could tell that sadness and guilt were present in my eyes. He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.
"I just thought you would tell me about your...boyfriend." He grumbled, staring at the ground. Confusion covered my face. Boyfriend? My jaw drops as I face palm.
"Are you talking about Mason?! You think MASON is my BOYFRIEND?!" I almost yell. He nodded shyly, still avoiding eye contact with me. I pinched the bridge of my nose.
"Mason is my cousin. I haven't seen him since I moved from Tennessee five years ago!" I finished, walking away from a shocked looking Jack. So he was jealous, eh? I rejoined the group as Rudy started handing out room keys.
"Okay! Here are the room assignments! Jack and Jerry in room 318, Eddie, Milton, and I in room 324, and Kim and Bethany in room 321. To the elevators!" Rudy announced, marching towards the elevators.
"Yay! We're going to be roomies!" Miss Applebaum squealed, giving me a tight side-hug. I smiled at her until I felt a tap on my shoulder. I glanced behind me to see an apologetic looking Jack. He gave me a look that said, 'Please stay behind with me. I really need to talk to you'. I sighed again.
"I'll be up in a second." I said to Miss Applebaum. She nodded as she skipped off toward Rudy. "What now, Jack? Are you going to accuse me of murdering my puppy too?" I asked, crossing my arms. He frowned at me.
"No. Kim, I wanted to say that I'm sorry. I just assumed he was your boyfriend or your crush or something! I guess jealous just got in the way AGAIN." He apologized. I couldn't help but crack a smile. How can I stay mad at him?
"Apology accepted." I replied. He smiled widely at me. "You're just lucky you're cute." I finished, winking at him as I turned back towards the elevator. I heard him chuckle behind me as he raced after me.
"So...you think I'm cute?" He teased, elbowing my playfully. I blushed slightly. Crap, what did I just get myself into?
"Don't be getting too cocky, Brewer." I joked. He laughed again.
"Never do, Crawford. Never do." He answered, cockily of course, slipping a hand into mine. I giggled as I gave his hand a small squeeze.
*Jerry's P.O.V*
"I'll miss you, Kimmy!" Jack cooed, opening the door to our hotel room. I could tell Kim rolled her eyes at him. It's what she does!
"Don't be getting sappy on me, Mister!" She replied, but in a nice tone of voice. Jack chuckled softly, gazing at her.
"I can only be sappy with you!" He shot back, lightly shutting the door. I heard a chuckle escape Kim's lips from outside the door. Jack brought his head back and smashed it against the door frame.
"I. Am. An. IDIOT! I stupid, jealous idiot!" He scolded himself, repeatedly smacking his face into the door. I remained in my current position on my bed.
"Dude, if you don't stop smashing your face in, we're going to have to pay to get the door fixed!" I said, pointing towards the indent on the door. He immediately stopped, softly rubbing the indent.
"Sorry..." He mumbled. He walked over towards his bed and flopped down onto it. I grabbed the remote and muted the T.V as I slowly rose into a sitting position.
"What happened?" I asked, nudging him with my foot. He groaned, face buried deep into his pillow.
"I got WAY overly jealous.." He admitted, face still buried into the pillow. I nodded even though I was confused out of my mind. Jealous about what?
"About...?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. He groaned again as he shot up, landing in a sitting position like me.
"About Kim! I saw her being all laughy and giggly with the guy, Mason, on the plane and I just got really jealous and angry about it. I didn't speak to her much the rest of the time until she pulled me aside in the lobby to ask me what the heck was going on. After I told her, that's when she dropped the bomb on me. Turns out, Mason's her COUSIN!" He blurted. My jaw dropped. So, judging before knowing, eh? Classic jealousy. It'll come back to bite you in the butt!
"So...Kim DOESN'T have a boyfriend?" I asked. He rolled his eyes at me and gave me a face that said, 'Really, Jerry? REALLY?'. I sheepishly looked down.
"No! She doesn't, but she will soon!" He replied, voice growing softer and softer. A sly grin appeared onto my face as I nodded.
"Ooohhh...wait I still don't get it. Who's going to be Kim's boyfriend?" I asked. Jack groaned again as he buried his face into his hands.
"You, Jerry. You're going to soon be her boyfriend." Jack snapped. My face brightened as I pumped my fist victoriously.
"Whooo! Sweet! Score one for the Swag Master! I'm gonna be Kimmy's next boyfriend!" I cheered, totally oblivious to Jack's sarcasm. Jack's face grew dark as he stared at me incredulously.
"You touch her and I swear I'll end you, Martinez!" He shouted, jumping to his feet as he pointed an angry finger at me. I threw my hands up in defense.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold your swag, man! I was kidding! I'm still going out with Mika!" I defended, scared out of my mind. His face softened as he realiezed he had just had another visit from the green-eyed monster.
"Oh." He said awkwardly, slowly sitting back down on his bed. I smirked at him.
"Jackie likes Kimmy, Jackie likes Kimmy, Jackie likes Ki-" I chanted until he clamped a hand down over my mouth.
"Jerry! Pipe down! What if somebody hears you?!" He whisper-shouted. I chuckled at him. Man, this guys is WHIPPED!"So, when are you going to ask her out?" I asked, removing his hand from my facial hole. He shrugged, snatching the T.V remote away from me.
"I don't know. Probably after the competition tomorrow." He answered, un-muting the television. I nodded, resting my head on the head board as I layed back down.
"Oh yeah! The competition's tomorrow! Are you ready for it?" I asked. He nodded enthusiastically.
"Totally! I am PU-UMPED!" He sing-songed. I cracked a grin. Tomorrow, KICK will prevail!
*Jack's P.O.V*
"Hiya!" I shouted in a strong voice as I took my opponent to the ground. I have beaten every dojo that has come my way. Up next was the Final Match.
"Jack! You did it! Only one more match to go and we WIN!" Kim cheered, giving me a quick hug. I pouted at her. She lightly smacked my chest.
"Oh, don't be pouting! You'll get a bigger hug if you win!" She replied, sing-songing the last few words. I smirked with pleasure. She giggled at my expression as the guys ran over to congratulate me as well. A skinny, Asian women walked out onto the middle of the mats.
"It's now the time you have all been waiting for! The Final Match! The two dojos competing are...The Bobby Wasabi Dojo!..." Evelyn Takimuro announced into the microphone. The gang and I cheered at our name. "...and...The Golden Dragon Dojo!" She finished. My mouth dropped as my cousin, Kai, stepped out onto the mat. My fists clenched as the flashback of him breaking my hand and him trying to kill me up on the Great Wall of China flashed through my brain.
"WHAT?!" We all screamed in unison. I glared at Kai as he smirked at me. "I'll be right back." I spat, walking towards the direction of my very evil cousin.
"Jack, so good to see you again!" He greeted sarcastically. I gave him a mocking smile.
"Yeah, wish I could say the same!" I snarled, crossing my arms. We stared at each other for a moment until he took a daring step forward I then saw Kim jump between us.
"Hey! Back off! You are NOT breaking his hand again, Kai." She growled, fists clenched. I suppressed an adoring smile. She's so cute when she's angry! Instead of looking scared and intimidated he just looked amused. My blood began to boil until I remembered that he had never had the pleasure of seeing Kim's karate skills.
"Look, this is men's business, Princess. Why don't you go make us some sandwiches?" He mocked, pushing her aside with his hand. I got ready to deck him in the face until Kim spoke up again.
"You've got hands go make them yourself. And how can it be 'men's' business if I only see one man here. In case you didn't catch my drift, I'm saying Jack's the real man here, not you. Suck on that, Princess." She snapped, shoving him slightly backwards with her hands. She placed her hands on her hips, a scowl on her face. Whoa, she means business!
"Hey...has anyone ever told you how hot you look when you get all furious?" Kai asked, stepping closer to Kim. I froze. Was he...hitting on her?!
"Yup." She replied, popping the 'P'. "Jack has." She finished. Kai continued to look her up and down. Okay, I will kill my own cousin if I must!
"Ooo! Feisty ain't she?" He asked his friend beside him. His friend creepily nodded. Kim scoffed, spinning on her heel and getting ready to flounce away.
"The party is only getting started, babe." Kai remarked, grabbing her arm and spinning her back around.
"Hey! If you want a mouthful of fist, then by all means, keep talking! If not, then shut up before I have to duck tape you to the bottom of a low dock right before high tide!" She spat, ripping her arm out of his grasp. I still remained to be staring in shock at the two. I can't believe this is happening! My cousin, who tried to kill me, is hitting on MY girl, and she is totally telling him off! He chuckled darkly.
"I doubt that, sweetie. See you on the mats, Jack." He replied darkly, walking back towards his dojo with his friend. Anger filled me as I began to pursue after him. NO ONE talks to MY girl like that!
"Jack! Stop! He's not even worth it!" Kim said, jumping in front of me. I stopped, sending Kai one last glare to his back before turning back towards the gang, wrapping an arm around Kim's waist in the process.
"Now, I know my...brother has never done this in past competitions, but, in celebration of the first year of me running the competition, the Final Match will be a TEAM FIGHT!" Evelyn announced, excitement booming in her voice. I turned to look at the guys. Before I even breathe, Jerry jumped up from the bench.
"Whooo! Looks like it's Jerry's time to shine! Let's knock 'em dead, Jack!" He said happily, bouncing up and down. I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow as him.
"Okay, Jerry. You, a yellow belt, want to be the one to help me fight against Kai, a second-degree black belt, who also tried to kill me on the top of the Great Wall of China?" I asked. His face went pale as he turned to Kim.
"Whooo! Looks like it's Kim's time to shine! Knock 'em dead!" He cheered, pulling her to her feet. She rolled her eyes as she straitened out her gi. Everyone in the participating dojos had to wear their gi's, whether they were fighting our not.
"Ready to fight?" I asked worridly, softly resting my hand on the small of her back. I guess you could say I'm a tad over-protective of my friends...especially Kim. She shook her head. I gave her what we like to call 'The Jerry Face'. Basically, it's just a very confused facial expression.
"I'm ready to win." She clarified, smirking at me. I immediately broke into a grin as we walked onto the mats. Kai and his friend faces us. Kai sent a flirtatious wink at Kim, causing my jaw to tighten. Oh, he is so gonna eat his words!
We got into our fighting positions as the ref started the match. Kai's partner instantly sent an attack towards me, causing Kim to be forced to fight with Kai. Great.
After a few minutes, I heard an almost undetectable shriek from behind me. I spun around, expecting to find Kim on the floor in pain, but instead, I saw Kai sprawled out on the ground, groaning in pain. I looked at Kim, shock covering my face. She was glaring fiercly at him. Boy, when she's mad, SHE'S MAD!
She turned to help me take down Kai's partner. Seconds before he was done on the ground, I heard Kim yelp. She was kneeling on the ground, grasping the back of her leg tightly. Her eyes were tightly shut, but pain was evident on her face.
"Kim!" I yelled, helping her back to her feet. Kai, who was also back on his feet, let out a dark chuckle. I glared deeply at him as I used my body as a shield in front of Kim.
"See, I told you you can't take me down, blondie." He spat, pulling his fist back. I kicked him in the shin before he could aim his punch at Kim. He fist instantly dropped as he stumbled backwards. I landed another kick to his side. His eyes went wide with pain as she shot a sloppy punch towards me. I caught his arm and started to spin him.
Before I could launch him off the mat, Kim delivered a perfect front snap kick to his chest. I flew backwards from the force of her kick, ripping him out of my grasp and into the plaster wall. He crashed into it, leaving a large, Kai-shaped dent. Evelyn Takimuro quickly stepped onto the mat and helped up Kim's and my arms.
"Winner!" She cheered. I looked at Kim, a look of pride and happiness on her face. Evelyn dropped our arms, so I engulfed Kim into a large hug. Everyone, especially Rudy, was going crazy!
"You did it!" Kim squealed softly into my ear. I smiled, tightening my embrace on her.
"No, WE did it!" I corrected. She giggled as I lifted her off the ground and spun her around in the air. The gang all crowded around us, chanting our names. We all gave each other hugs and posed for a group picture with our big check.
"On three, Wasabi?" Rudy asked. We all nodded as the photographer pulled out his camera.
"1...2...3.." He counted. We all jumped into the air, large check in our of our hands.
"WASABI!" We yelled. The camera flashed while we were still in mid-air. Rudy gladly held onto the check as we got our bags and made our way towards the door. Kim and I held hands all the way back to the hotel. Could today seriously get any better?
*Milton's P.O.V*
Today seriously couldn't get any worse. Everything was fine up until we got back from the hotel after the competition.
~Flashback~
"You guys were totally SWASOME out there!" Jerry exclaimed. Jack and Kim grinned, still holding hands. Aww! I remember when Julie and I were like that at that stage in our relationship!...Oh who am I kidding? We still are like that!
"I can't believe we just won $500 for the dojo!" Eddie added. We all nodded, fantasizing about how we were gonna spend it.
"We could get new mats!" I said.
"We could get new training equipment!" Jack added.
"We could put more ads out for my girls in the dojo!" Kim squealed. We all gave her a look. "What? I would like to have some girl friends in the dojo!" She defended.
"How about we use the money for something important...Oh! Like the Mega Flush 6000!" Rudy said. We now all gave him a look.
"Rudy, isn't the Mega Flush 6000 a toilet?" I asked. He rolled his eyes.
"It's not just A toilet, it's THE toilet!" He stated matter-o-factually. I rolled my eyes.
"Uh, guys, if we're all going to the Congratulatory Dinner for the winning dojo of the competition, shouldn't we be getting ready?" Miss Applebaum asked. We all nodded as we went into our separate rooms to change into our formal wear.
The competition always has a Congratulatory Dinner for everyone in the winning dojo. Rudy even gets to bring Miss Applebaum as a guest! I opened my suitcase and pulled out my neatly folded tuxedo. It's the same one I wore to the Swan Cotillion.
I strode out of my room, looking like the coolest nerd around. Eddie came out soon after me. Together we walked down to the hotel lobby. Eddie was wearing his same suit from Bobby Wasabi's almost wedding...and funeral..
Jack, Jerry and Rudy were already waiting for us in the lobby, but the girls still weren't there yet. Jerry, like me, was wearing the same tuxedo he wore for the swan cotillion. Rudy had somehow squeezed himself into his black and white tuxedo he had worn the night of his senior prom and was holding a bright red rose. Probably for Miss Applebaum.
Jack was wearing a dark blue, button-up t-shirt and dark jeans along with some dark blue vans. He had a loose, silver tie around his neck and a single, blue rose was in his hand. Blue roses were Kim's favorite flower!
As if right on cue, Miss Applebaum and Kim started to descend the large, grand staircase. Our jaws dropped as we stared at them. Wow is the only word that could come to mind. Miss Applebaum was wearing a light, lavender dress that flowed down to her ankles. The dress had a slit that traveled up to her knee.
It had a slight v-neck neckline and three quarter sleeves. She had on silver, strappy heels and a diamond necklace. She had a silver clutch purse in her hand and a deep pink, the same shade as her dress, bow in her short, dirty blonde hair.
Kim was wearing a knee length, soft yellow dress. It was short sleeved and had a sweetheart neckline. The top half of her dress was covered with yellow sparkles while the bottom half was just plain, yellow fabric. A yellow ribbon with a big and sparkly, yellow bow in the middle, was wrapped around the waist of her dress. She had on white pumps and a pearl necklace. She had let down her light, honey blonde hair and had curled it to perfection.
"Wow.." We all breathed. Yes, I have a girlfriend, but is it wrong to say that one of my best friends looks absolutely beautiful right now? Jack handed Kim the rose while Rudy gave his to Miss Applebaum. The couples linked arms as we walked towards the limo waiting for us outside the hotel.
"This is swag, yo! I can't believe they would get us our own limo!" Jerry said, stroking the seats of the limo. We all laughed and talked about the competition the whole way there.
-(line break)-
"Milton, are you sure you don't want to hang out with us at that new Teen Club for a bit?" Jack asked. I shook my head. After dinner, Rudy took Miss Applebaum on a romantic carriage ride through New York City while we decided to check out a new club for teens that had just opened a week ago.
"Nah, that's okay. I've got to go call Julie." I answered. They nodded their heads in agreement while Kim awed at my kind boyfriendness.
"Alright, we'll see you later man!" Jerry said, patting me on the back as they all head towards the new teen club. I waved as I walked back into the hotel and into my room. I picked up the hotel line and punched in Julie's cell phone number. I then pulled out my lap top and logged onto Facebook as I waited for her to answer.
I pulled up Julie's profile page. Man, I wish she could have come up with me! A recently added picture caught my eye. It was a picture of Julie with some guy at school. He had his arm around her waist and she was smiling into the camera. They were both in Chemistry class. My eyes narrowed at the boy's face as anger and jealousy began to boil up inside me.
"Hello?" Julie's sweet honey asked. Without saying a word I slammed the phone back down onto the receiver ending the call. I felt my iPhone vibrate next to me. Julie's name and picture popped up on the screen. I hit the 'ignore call' button on my phone, making her smiling face vanish from the screen.
She called a few more times before she tried to text me. I refused to even look at the texts. The only thing I could focus on was the picture of Julie haunting my computer screen. A chat message from Julie popped up. I guess I'll have to talk to her sooner or later.
(Milton bold, Julie italics, Facebook underlined)
Milton Krupnick is online

Who's that guy in that picture with you on your profile page?
Oh! That's Alex! He's a new kid in our Chemistry class. While you're in New York, he got paired to be my temporary partner.
You guys look like you're having lots of fun.
What? What are you talking about?
Just forget it!
Fine! Then forget us!
What do you mean 'forget us'?..
I mean, we're done Milton David Krupnick! If you can't trust me to be a loyal girlfriend, then I don't want to be you're girlfriend at all!
Julie Kesler is offline
(end of Facebook convo)
I stared at the screen with a shocked expression. Did...did Julie just break up with me?
