Kim closed her locker and was met by an angry looking Monique. "What's the problem Monique?" Kim sighed.
"Thanks for calling me back on Saturday," Monique said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
"Sorry it's just I got home a bit late and time got away from me and then I just forgot," Kim said.
"Time got away from you huh? Wait did you?" Monique gasped. When Kim didn't answer, Monique drew her own conclusion.
"You little slut! You totally did didn't you?!" Monique said a bit loudly, causing a few stares.
"Shhh!" Kim said. "Sorry." "No I didn't. I wanted to but I don't know what happened we went to his house and we started kissing and undressing but as much as I wanted to I couldn't."
"Damn girl. I'm sorry cause all that good looking! Mmmm. I don't think I could have let it go to waste," Monique said. "Down girl," Kim said.
"Anyways I just hope he's not mad," Kim said. "I guess you're about to find out," Monique said as Josh approached them. "Hey Josh," Monique said. "Hey Monique."
"I'll give you two some privacy."
"Look Josh about Saturday night-" Kim started to say before Josh cut her off. "Seriously it's not a big deal. I get it. I mean I wanted to do it really badly but I'm not gonna force you. We can do it whenever you're ready."
"I mean that is if you want to do it with me still."
"I do! I just wasn't ready but someday I will be," Kim said and kissed Josh.
The bell rang. "Walk you to class?" Josh asked. Kim nodded.
Kim gave him one quick peck before going in and taking her seat. Kim looked to the back where Bonnie and Brick were all over each other.
"I see their break is officially over," Kim said to Tara who had just taken her seat as well. "That didn't last too long," Tara said in response.
Mr. Barkin entered the classroom and everyone quickly found their respective seats.
"Okay listen up! I have decided that instead of an exam you will be put into groups of twos and you will each present on a significant event that took place in American History."
Tara rose her hand first. "Um Mr. Barkin. Will we get to pick our partners?"
"No I already assigned you your partners. You will however get to pick your topics from a hat."
The class groaned. Kim had hoped to be working with Ron but now that might not happen. Speaking of, where was Ron?
Ron ran in in that instant, taking his seat next to Kim. "Stoppable! Class starts at 9 not 9:10," Mr. Barkin said.
"Sorry," Ron said sheepishly. "So why are you so late?" Kim asked. "Rufus wasn't feeling too well so I had to take care of him and time got away from me," Ron said.
"Awww poor little guy. Did you leave him at home?" Kim asked.
"No I made him a cozy spot in my locker."
Kim smiled.
"So what are we doing now?" Ron asked. "Mr. Barkin is assigning us partners and we have to choose a historical event and write about it."
Just as Kim finished talking she heard her name. "Possible and Rockwaller."
"What?!" Both girls screamed out of reflex, before remembering that they were friends. "Sonething wrong?" Mr. Barkin asked.
"Uh no Mr. Barkin," Kim said quickly.
"Good. Taylor and Hanson." "Stoppable and Strong."
"Yes! I get paired up with a hot cheerleader badical!" Ron cheered causing Kim and a few other students to laugh.
•••••••••
Class ended and Kim and Ron met up with Monique at their lockers. "Damn those two break up and then make up faster than the sinking titanic," Monique said.
Kim looked at Brick and Bonnie and she couldn't fight the bubbling feeling in her stomach.
"Hey Kim. You feeling okay?" Monique waved her hands in front of Kim's face.
"Yeah why?" "Because you just broke that pencil with your bare hands."
Kim looked in her palms to see the broken magnetic pencil. "Yeah yeah I'm fine. Don't worry about it."
"So Ron how's Rufus?" Kim asked, hoping to change the subject.
"What's wrong with Rufus?" Monique asked.
"Too many nacos yesterday," Ron said, opening his locker, to see the sleeping naked mole rat.
"Aww poor little guy," Monique said, blowing him a kiss.
"Yeah needless to say Rufus will be taking a little bueno nacho cleanse for a while."
•••••••••••
The cheer squad stretched as Bonnie stood at the door, making out with Brick. "Uh those two need to get a room," Kori said, rolling her eyes. "Who says they didn't already?" Jessica asked.
The girls laughed while Kim simply rolled her eyes. Seeing Bonnie with Brick pissed her off though she wasn't entirely sure why.
Bonnie giggled before giving Brick a kiss goobye.
"Alright dance routine number one formation!" Bonnie yelled. The cheerleaders quickly found their positions. Half way into the routine Kim bumped into Tara who bumped into Hope who stepped on Jessica's toes.
"Oww Kim!" The three cheerleaders cried.
"You go to the right now with Bonnie," Hope said.
"Right. Sorry," Kim said.
They did the dance routine again this time without any interruptions.
Next they went into the gymnastics routine and Kim missed a beat. Bonnie groaned but didn't make them stop. If they kept stopping every time Kim messed up they would never finish the routine.
They moved on to the pyramid which was a modification of Kim's original pyramid routine from a few months ago.
Kim did a tumble into a back tuck and stuck the landing at the top of the pyramid.
Suddenly the doors to the gymnasium opened and in walked half of the football team. Some of the girls on the squad were dating the footballers and they immediately winked at their boyfriends who walked in.
"Hi sweetie!" Bonnie waved at Brick, distracting Kim which sent her and the other girls falling from the pyramid.
The girls groaned as they landed in a pile of tangled limbs on the mat.
"Okay everyone take five!" Bonnie yelled and the girls untangled themselves and either went to find their boyfriends or sat in the bleachers, chatting amongst themselves.
"Hey Kim," Bonnie said as Kim stood up and brushed herself off. "Can I talk to you?"
"Sure Bonnie. What's your ish?" Bonnie led Kim to the back where they kept the old gym equipment.
"It's not really my ish. It's your ish."
"I don't... Okay what's my ish?" Kim folded her arms.
"We have three weeks before international finals! We're going to Europe Kim to perform! This is our chance to show that we are the best squad in the world! You know this routine like the back of your hand so why are you wigging out now?!"
"I'm not! I messed up once! Even the captain is entitled to a mistake every once in a while!" "Twice Kim! You messed up twice! When you weren't stepping on people's toes you threw off the whole pyramid!" "I just. I'm tired that's all." "Look I know you save the world and all that and that's cool and all but we need you to focus your energy on this squad. You are still the captain you know. So you have to pull your own weight. If you're that tired then go home and get some rest and come back tomorrow but don't come here half assed and screw up the routine."
"I'm not half assing anything and you're not all that focused either! You've been making googly eyes and sucking face with Brick all day!" Kim retorted.
"Excuse me! Leave Brick out of this. He has not hindered my performance in any way."
"Why are you even seeing him anyways? After all that talk about being done with him and not being able to trust him ever again! You sure went back on that the minute he convinced you to sleep with him."
Bonnie raised her hand to slap Kim but Kim caught her hand. "Not this time B."
Bonnie snatched her hand from Kim's grip. "Why are you doing this? Why do you care if I am dating Brick again or not and I never said I was."
"Oh so you're just sleeping with him then?" Kim asked. Bonnie had never seen Kim this upset. Not even when they fought the other day.
Bonnie laughed incredulously. "Are you jealous or something K?" She teased.
Kim looked like a deer caught in headlights. She then shook her head. "What? No of course not."
"Then why do you care so much?" Bonnie almost whispered in Kim's ear.
Kim didn't know what possessed her to do what she did next. She pulled Bonnie close to her and planted a kiss on her lips.
Bonnie was stunned to say the least. She had never kissed a girl the way Kim was kissing her. It felt different. Not bad, just different.
The kiss lasted only ten seconds but it felt so much longer. When the kiss ended Kim bolted.
"Kim?! Where are you going?!" Bonnie yelled, running back out into the gymnasium.
"Practice isn't over!"
•••••••••••
How do you guys think Bonnie will react to the kiss?
