Thank you all so incredibly much for the reviews! I can hardly believe I'm at, like, 232 reviews already. This is just insane. Since you're reading this right now, I'm sending you a virtual cookie XD (for those of you wondering, it can be any flavor you want. Magical cookies!)

My shoutouts for figuring out which episode the brochaco quote was from..

(for those of you who don't know, the episode was Wrath of Swan!)

Also, for anyone looking for a good story to read, go check out Written at Sunset's story, Kick Song Fictions! (it's a oneshot)

Okay, now on to the story. WARNING there is not actually any kick in this, sadly. It's sort of a filler.

Previously on The Story of Us… (Jack's POV)

"Hey, Jack, can I talk to you for a second?" Jon asks. That's just what I want, to be alone with him.

"Yeah, sure." I say.

He gets up, motioning for me to follow him. He walks out of the cafeteria and down the same hallway where I first heard Shawn and Bryden plotting to prank Kim. Why is it that every time someone wants to talk they come here? What is it with this hallway?

Jon turns around. "Jack, I realize you don't like me, and I'm not sure why. What did I do to you?"

Well, that's not something I'm about to explain to a total stranger, especially not this particular total stranger.

I give him my best fake smile. "What? Where did you get that idea? Of course I like you!" Thankfully, he looks as if he bought it.

"Phew, that's good. In that case, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure." I say, trying to keep my fake smile on.

"Do you like Kim?" He asks.

Still Jack's POV

Oh, no. What do I say? What can I say?

I gasp, pointing to a spot on the floor behind Jon. "What is that?" (shoutouts to anyone who can tell me what show this is from! It's a little hard..) Then I turn around and run away. Well, at least, I try to. Jon grabs my arm as I turn around.

"Not so fast." He says. "You haven't answered my question yet." He glares at me.

"Okay, now you just sound like some villain from a movie." I say, trying to change the subject. "All you're missing is the minions, and the super-evil-"

Jon cuts me off. "Dude, just answer the question. Changing the subject is not going to work on me."

I give in. "All right, all right." Think fast, Jack. What do I say? "Can you let go of me now?" I stall for time. Jon lets go of my arm, thankfully. He's got a tight grip, and I would've tried to get free, but I figured this wasn't really a situation where I really need to use karate.

"So do you like Kim, or not? It's not a difficult question to answer. I'll even make it multiple choice for you- yes, or no." Jon says slowly, as if he was talking to a preschooler.

I glower at him. This guy is treating me like an idiot. Which, for the record, I am not. I knew I didn't like him when I first saw him!

"No, I don't, and even if I did, I would so not tell you." I say. Wow, that was pretty convincing, if I do say so myself. But Jon's not buying it. He's just standing there like a statue, staring at me, arms crossed. It's more than a little creepy.

"I don't buy that for a second." He says. Well, then. What now?

"Could you please stop looking at me like that? It's creeping me out." I say.

"No."

"Ugh! Fine! I surrender!" I really don't like how he's looking at me. "Maybe I do, but just a little. What does it matter to you, anyways?" No, Jack, no! Do not reveal your secrets to complete strangers! I mentally punch myself.

"That's not true." He says.

I throw my hands in the air, frustrated. "Then what do you want me to tell you?"

"The truth."

"I don't like Kim."

"That's not the truth."

"Okay, then, I like Kim! There, is that what you wanted to hear? I like Kim? Well then, I like Kim!" I clap a hand over my mouth. Did I just…

Jon grins. "I knew it! I knew-" The words die on his lips when he finds himself in a headlock.

"Tell a single soul, and I… Will.. Hurt.. You.." I threaten him.

He smirks. "You're forgetting something. I'm a second degree black belt, too." Ugh, he's right, I did forget that.

"I don't have to fight you to hurt you." I let him go. "Just don't tell anyone, okay? You seem like a nice guy, and I don't want to hurt you." Okay, I'll admit it. That one was a flat-out lie.

Jon's POV (this part is just so you can get to know Jon a little bit more. I know it's short, but I hope it helps you understand him just a little better!)

Sure, you don't want to hurt me. I'll believe that when pigs can fly.

"I'm not scared of your threats, but since I'm such a nice, considerate guy," I pause for emphasis, "I won't tell anyone. Your secret is safe with me."

I walk away from Jack. He surprised me, he's actually a very good liar. One of the best that I've ever met. But he can't fool me. No one can. It's just not possible.

Why, you may ask? Maybe that's a secret. I have a lot of secrets, you know. No, I won't tell you. That's for me to know, and you to wonder at.

I turn the corner and collide with someone. She shrieks and jumps back, dropping two textbooks in the process. One slides towards me. Huh, what is she doing with textbooks during lunch hour?

"Sorry." We both say at the same time. I pick up one of her textbooks and she picks up the other. She looks up at me. I freeze. Her eyes… Her eyes are so incredibly green. They sparkle.. Almost like emeralds. So mesmerizing.. So green.. So deep… So familiar.

The girl waves her hand in front of my face. "Hello? You in there?" I realize I've been staring into her eyes. I cough and look away awkwardly.

"Yeah, sorry, you just look exactly like someone I used to know."

"Oh, really? I'm Emerald." I almost laugh. Emerald, of course, just like her eyes. And, yep, just as I thought, she isn't who I thought she was when I first saw her eyes.

"I'm Jon. I'm new."

"Yeah, I can tell. You still have that new kid smell. Umm….. can I have my textbook back? "

"Oh, sorry." I hand the textbook back to her. "Well, maybe I'll see you around, Emerald."

"Maybe you will." I walk away. (haha I just took that whole part from the first episode of Kickin It, and just changed the names!)

Meanwhile..Jerry's POV

"Milton, Eddie, Bryden, you gotta help me, yo! I have no idea what I'm gonna do." I pace back and forth, muttering in Spanish.

"Maybe you shouldn't have promised your girlfriend a surprise even when you knew you had nothing planned." Eddie says. "Take it from a playa like me. Don't promise girls anything that you know you can't do."

"But I thought I could do it! All I wanted to do was make her happy. Ever since she started dating me, girls that used to dis me are finally noticing me! And it's not just that, but I think she's the first girl I've dated that I actually like. You guys gotta help me, I don't know what to do."

"Maybe, if she's as wonderful as you keep on telling us she is, then you should just tell her that you didn't actually have anything planned. Maybe she'll understand." Milton suggests.

"No, no puedo hacer eso (I can't do that). I won't let her down like that."

"Well then, you better start planning a surprise, and fast." Bryden says.

"It's gotta be special, and surprising, and…" I'm stuck already. "Will you guys please help me?"

"Oh, fine." Milton sighs.

"I guess so." Eddie says.

"Well, I have nothing better to do, so I'm in." Bryden says.

"Thanks, you guys are the best." I sigh in relief.

"Hey, Jerry! You done planning my surprise yet?" I turn around, startled. Grace is standing there, her hand on her hip. Kim's right behind her, looking down at her phone.

All the guys glance at me, waiting for my answer. What, no backup?

"Umm.. umm.. what was the question again?" I ask.

Grace laughs. "You are so cute! Are you done planning my surprise yet?"

"Oh.. um… yeah. Almost done! You're gonna love it."

"Aww… you're so sweet, planning a surprise for me. I can't wait to find out what it is!"

"You're going to love it.." I say, not looking her in the eye.

"I'm sure I will. Well, I've gotta go now. See you later."

"Bye." I wave halfheartedly at her as she walks away, talking to Kim.

Eddie lets out a breath. "Phew, almost thought she was gonna find out you didn't have a surprise planned."

I grab his shoulders and shake him, hard. "You gotta help me! What do I do now? I just told Grace I was almost done planning her surprise! I need an idea now!"

"Calm down, Jer." Bryden pries my hands off Eddie's shoulders. Eddie scowls at me, rubbing his shoulders. "We're helping you, remember?"

"Thanks, guys. Now, what can I do for Grace that'll make her happy?"

So.. what did you think? Personally, I feel like this chapter was one of my worst chapters ever, but maybe(and hopefully) that's just me. Please review!

Also, I was wondering- would you guys prefer a longer chapter every other day, or should I keep the update lengths and frequencies the same as they are right now? Please put your opinion in a review, if you can. Thanks!
