I grabbed my bag and saw Jack nowhere. When I finally spotted him my jaw dropped.
He was hugging a girl and 2 seconds later he ran with her holding hands to some unknown place.
Nice to see you in …. Paris?
The next morning I woke up feeling very depressed.
All I wanted to do all day was lie in bed and sulk all day but unfortunately I had to go to Paris for a gymnastics competition.
When I finally managed to drag myself out of bed I took a very long shower, brushed my teeth and washed my face.
I wasn't in the mood to choose something to wear so I just grabbed a pair of blue jeans, a yellow hoodie and a pair of pink converse which surprisingly matched well together.
I quickly finished packing and went downstairs to eat some breakfast. My parents were already there making chocolate chip pancakes; my favourite.
Once I finished, I grabbed my suitcase from my bedroom and was getting ready to leave when my little sister Kyle came down the stairs screaming "Wait Kimmy!"
I stop and asked "Yes?"
"Can you buy me something?" she asked
"I always do." She smiled
"Bye Kimmy!" and hugged me.
"Bye Kylers! Bye Mom, Bye Dad!" I said as I walked out of the house
Minnie was waiting for me in her car. I threw my suitcase in her trunk and put on a fake smile before entering her car.
"Hey Kim!" She exclaimed
"Hey Minnie!" I answered back.
"So, you ready for the competition?" she asked
"I'm always ready!"
"Hey! I heard that Jack was going to come-"
My heart stopped and I cut her off "Jack's coming? With us? Why?"
"Slow down. Jack was going to come but he had some important business today so couldn't."
I let out a breathe of relief.
Minnie must have noticed because she asked "Why don't you want him to come?"
"We had an…. Argument."
Before Minnie could say anything else our favourite song Thrift song came on.
We immediately started singing.
I'm gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I - I - I'm hunting, looking for a come-up
This is f-ing awesome
I had so much fun that I forgot that I was even mad.
When we got to the airport we found the rest of our team. As I was walking towards them I saw a teenage boy with a mop of brown hair. I immediately thought it was Jack but I couldn't confirm my suspicions because he turned around the corner. I just shrugged it off and quickly check-in and boarded the plane.
I was sitting beside Minnie who was super excited for some reason.
"Why are you so excited?" I asked once we were up in the air.
"Because last night, my boyfriend Jake texted me saying that he is going to Paris tomorrow for a karate tournament and that after the tournament he would bring me to the Eiffel Tower for a romantic dinner under the stars!"
"That's great!" I say enviously. I only wish that Jack would do that.
During the plane ride I watched 3 movies, slept a bit, finished a book and ate 2 muffins.
By the time we reached Paris it was 11 p.m. and we were exhausted.
We checked in at the Crowne Plaza Paris-Republique and went in our room and quickly fell asleep.
~~Next Morning~~
I woke up feeling really hungry. I quickly dug through my travel bag and found 2 energy bars which I finished in 6 humongous bites.
I glanced at the clock and saw it was only 7 a.m. I wanted to go back to sleep but I was wide awake. I decided to watch some TV until Minnie wakes up.
At 10 a.m. Minnie gets up and asked me groggily "What time is it and where are we?"
I answer "Its 10 a.m. and we're in Paris."
"OMG! I totally forgot the competition! Kim why didn't you wake me! Hurry up we can still-"
I cut her off "What are you talking about? We aren't competing today, remember?"
"Oh yeah. So do you want to head down to the boutiques of Paris? I still need a dress for tomorrow."
"Sure."
~~Line Break~~
After 17 boutiques we finally found a perfect dress for Minnie. It was a long dark blue dress with a simple silver belt around it.
We bought the dress and walked out of the shop, Minnie exclaimed "Now I just need to find a pair of heels!"
"Please," I begged "Let me at least go to the Louvre!"
"The lover?"
"No! Louvre, it one of the world's largest museums and it owns the actual Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo Da Vinci!"
"Fine!"
We walked to the Louvre which luckily was only 2 blocks away. We paid our tickets and started exploring the museum. Everything was amazing! As I turned away from the Venus de Milo I bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry." I quickly exclaimed
I looked up and saw Jack.
My jaw dropped and I think his did too.
"What are you doing here?" We both asked at the same time
"You first." Jack said
"Gymnastics competitions, which you were helping me train for."
He smacked his forehead "I totally forgot."
"And why are you here?" I ask bitterly
"Surprise karate tournament."
I was about to say something else but a man behind us asked "Can you please move if you are just going to talk."
Jack pulled me around the corner and to the hallway of the bathrooms.
"I'm so happy to see you!" Jack exclaimed
"Why? I thought you were happy to ditch me yesterday with your secret girlfriend."
"What are you talking about?"
"I saw you yesterday with some girl. You guys hugged then you ran away with her."
"Oh! You mean Taylor!"
"Taylor?"
"Yeah, she's my sister. She just came back from Harvard yesterday. Then Rudy called me to meet him at the dojo that's why I had to leave."
"Oh… Sorry."
"It's ok, I'm sorry for ditching you yesterday."
"It's ok."
We started leaning in then BAM!
Jerry appears and shouts "Kim!"
Milton appears too and scowls at Jerry "What are you talking about Kim's not here…." He flatters when he sees me.
Then Eddie appears "Jack! We were looking everywhere for you…." And stops when he sees me too.
"Hi…" I say
We quickly explain to them what happened and why I was here.
Then my cell phone rings.
I pick up "Hello?"
"KIM!" Minnie yells in the phone "I've been looking everywhere for you! Where are you?"
"Oops, I bumped into Jack and the Wasabi Warriors and-"
"Jack?"
"Yeah, he has a karate tournament here."
"Oh… but where are you? I still need to buy some heels."
"Ok ok, meet you at the entrance of the museum."
"Bye." And hangs up
I tell the guys "I have to go."
"Ok, we'll see you later?" Milton asks
"Yeah." I answer and start to leave when Jack says "Wait."
I turn around and ask "Yeah."
He glances at Milton, Eddie and Jerry "Here." And hands me a slip of paper.
"What is it?" I wonder
"Um… I don't know. Got to go." And hastily rushes out with Eddie and Jerry.
I open the paper and it says:
Meet me at the Eiffel Tower at 7p.m. tonight. I have a surprise for you! ;)
I smile and squeal. I can't wait for tonight!
Done! I'm sorry I haven't updated in a long time but I have a reason! This is the second last chapter! That means that next chapter is the last. So I wanted to make this chapter good.
Also, tell me what you think Jack planned for her. Whoever gets it right gets a shout-out for the next chapter!
Also again, I don't know why I added in the song thrift song. I am just obsessed with it!
Until next time!
