Kimberly was sitting at the picnic table with Aisha and Trini. Her two best friends in the whole world. Kimberly glanced over and couldn't help but watch Tommy with Kat. She knew she should stop watching them but of course, Kimberly just couldn't help herself. Ever since Kimberly sent Tommy that Dear John letter ten years ago. She knew it was a really shitty to do but it was the only thing Kimberly could have thought of, Hell she had considered calling him but hearing his voice over a phone would have been too hard, Kimberly was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't even hear Aisha trying to ask her a question,
"Hey, Kimberly!"
"Huh?"Kimberly asked looking over at Aisha.
"Are you gonna keep watching them all day. Or are you gonna answer my question?" Aisha asked with a smirk when Trini snorts into her drink.
"What was the question?" Kimberly asked shrugging her shoulders for a moment.
"I was asking. What made you come back home and don't tell me it's because of Tommy."Aisha said looking over across the yard."Cause as far as I am concern Tommy has moved on and he seems really happy right now."
"Yeah I can see that," Kimberly said under her breath. Kimberly then cleared her throat shaking her head." I came back home. Because I got a teaching job at the high school. You guys are now looking at the new English teacher at Angel Grove High." Kimberly said with a huge smile." I am supposed to start on Monday morning, and tomorrow I am supposed to meet up with Mr, Kaplon to get my class schedule. Student roster and all that fun stuff,"
"Isn't Mr, Kaplon supposed to retire or something?"
Kimberly nods her head taking a drink of her ice tea," Yeah is planning on retiring sometime this year," Kimberly said setting her glass down," He said he has been a high school principal for over fifty years and now he says its time to retire,"
"Wow I can't imagine Angel Grove high with a new principal let alone without him there, It just won't be the same without him," Trini said sadly shaking her head,
Kimberly nods her head for a moment," Yeah I know what you mean, Mr, Kaplon has always been my favorite principal, He was always there for us especially when we got into trouble, He always helped us get out of it," Kimberly smiled remembering all the time her and her friends used to find themselves in trouble, Most time wasn't their fault either.
"Yeah," Both Trini and Aisha said at the same time,
"What you ladies talking about over here?" Jason asked as he leans down and kissed Trini's temple before he sat down next to her.
"We were just talking about Mr, Kaplon and how Angel Grove high won't be the same without him." Trini said leaning over and kissed Jason gently." Plus Kimberly is the new english teacher there." Trini said with a smile looking over at Kimberly.
"Wow, that's awesome Kimberly," Jason said with a huge grin." Congrats hun,"
"Thanks, Jason, Okay so I am thinking since Mr, Kaplon is retiring this year, Why don't we throw him like a retirement party well more of an goodbye party really,"
Oh that would be great, Maybe we can have it the youth center," Aisha said with excitement in her voice clapping her hands. After the girls talked and caught up with everything. Kimberly excused herself from the group and went into the house. Walking over to were her suit case was she stopped when she noticed an photo of Tommy and Kat together. She could feel her heart starting to break. Kimberly knew it wasn't right for her to feel this way. But she couldn't help it. What's worse she's lying to herself by denying how she truly feels about him.
" You still love him don't you?"
Kimberly sighs deeply as she set the frame down. She turned around and leans back against the nightstand table. She slowly nods her head as she wiped her tears as they started to fall. Kimberly then looks over at Trini." I don't think staying here is a good idea. So I am gonna stay at the Angel Grove hotel tonight. Or at least until I get an apartment."
"Come on Kim, you don't-."
"Trini you know I would love to stay here with you and Jason like we plan. But with Tommy and Kat here it's gonna be hard. So after the party I'm gonna call and reserve a room."
Are you sure?"
Kimberly smiles softly as she nods her head." Yeah I am sure Trini." Kimberly said reaching out and rubbed her best friends arm."I will be fine. Why don't you go back out there I just need to put my cell on the charger real quick." Kimberly said with a small smile.
Trini nods her head." Okay Kimberly." After Trini walked back out to the back yard Kimberly walked down the hall to the spare bedroom she was gonna stay in. Opening the door Kimberly walked over to her suitcase and pulls out her phone charger. After she put her cell on the charger. Before setting it down Kimberly noticed few text messages from Aiden. Kimberly quickly shut her cell off when she heard a knock at the door. Kimberly glanced up.
"Hi." Kimberly said softly.
"Are you okay?" Tommy asked
Setting her cell down on the nightstand. Kimberly gave him a small smile." Yeah I am fine Tommy. Listen I'm gonna stay at the Angel Grove hotel tonight. I think it's best."
"Why?" Tommy asked stepping into the room and closed the door behind him." Because of Kat?" He asked softly as he walked over to the bed. Tommy sat down next to Kimberly. Kimberly could feel her body starting to ache badly for him especially with him being this close to her. The smell of his cologne was invading her nostrils. Kimberly shook her head moving away from him. Which she didn't want to do but it took everything inside of her not to kiss him right now.
"It's not about Kat Tommy." Kimberly could feel her stomach starting to twist when she hates lying to him." There's just too many people here and a hotel makes sense right now. Kimberly stood up and headed towards the door. Without looking at him Kimberly opened the door."I 'll see you at the party." She said walking out of the room without looking back.
Tommy exhaled deeply as he just sat there and watched Kimberly walk away out of the room and away from him again. Tommy so desperately wanted to grab Kimberly by her wrist and pull her back to him. He wanted so badly to feel her lips her touch. Her body against him again but he just sat there and just let her walk away. Tommy knows feeling this way is wrong since he's with Kat now but now that Kimberly is back. His feelings for Kimberly that he kept locked in is slowly finding it's way out and Tommy doesn't know what to do about it.
Hope you guys like this one!! Wondering who Aiden is? Don't worry you will find out soon. By the way I might change the rating to M. Happy Reading!!!
