I think in the next chapter I'm going to explain the characters appearance or draw them... unsure, but anyway, let's continue to where we left off, Jackie recalling how Gunther asked her out!
The flashback:
I leaned against the balcony. It was about 15 minutes until New Year's and this party Kendall made was awesome...except...Gunther was with his fangirls. I've known I liked him since eighth grade, but I also knew he wouldn't like me because he had prettier girls around him, and Kick, all the time. I was lucky to even be a friend of his. I just sighed as I looked at the sky.
"Shouldn't you be enjoying the party?" A blonde with curly hair up and a purple sparkly dress on, interrupted my thoughts as she closed the balcony door behind her.
"Brianna... I was just...cooling off. It's hot in there." I tried to make an excuse.
"Jackie what's wrong? I know it's hot, but c'mon, I know you better than that." Brianna came forward to be next to me.
"It's just..." I looked back to see Gunther with his fans, they were close to the door, that I could see them as the curtain that covered the glass door, swayed. "Nothing..." I sighed
"Jackie it's obvious you like Gunther, I mean you both like the same Viking-like things. My question is why haven't you made a move?" Brianna asked me.
"It's not that easy, I mean look at who he is around. Plus he doesn't even like me." I sounded defeated.
"Oh please, just give me a bit and I can have you two together..." She began.
"No...Brianna please don't...I just..."I interrupted her. "I just want to be alone for a bit. I'll go back in soon, okay." I smiled at her. She grunted.
"Fine. But this is not over." Brianna walked back into the party, making sure the curtains were secured to not open. I was alone again, taking in the fresh air. It was at least a bit peaceful, and the cold air didn't bother me, even though I was wearing a strapless, long light blue dress, that kind of hugged my curves, or at least what small curves I did have. It had some bedazzles on it, and I had my hair in soft curls, that went a bit past my shoulders. It was nice to actually feel the breeze on my arms. Then I was interrupted again by a door closing and locking on the outside behind me. It also sounded like someone sighed a sigh of relief. I turned around to find Gunther against the door, wiping away a bit of sweat from his head. He looked nice, he wore a nice black suit with a dark blue tie.
"Gunther?" I was surprised, but knew my face was a bit pink.
"Jackie?" He looked over a bit shocked, but then happy to see me. "I didn't see you there, uh why aren't you enjoying the party?" He started to walk over and I could feel my heartbeat quicken.
"I... ah... it just got hot in there, so I wanted some air, ya know?" I stuttered out. "Ah... what about you?"
"Same... fangirls wouldn't leave me alone." He shrugged
"Yeah, you must love being more and more famous." I added
"Yeah, me and Kick keep growing bigger, but I still like my privacy, ya know." He replied. I nodded. "You know I have to admit you have changed a lot since we were younger." He smiled, changing the subject.
"I have?" I asked, confused as to how this subject came to be about me.
"Oh yeah... I mean you're no longer...well ah..." he started to look for the right words.
"Wacky?" I gave him the word
'"Well yeah, especially over Kick." He stated.
"Yeah, I guess it's a good thing huh?" I started to giggle.
"I think so, I mean since we entered middle school, you have totally mellowed out, but..." He trailed off. I looked at him a bit confused.
"But what?" I asked a little concerned.
"But...well, I can't help but wonder if there is someone else you're obsessed with, since you got over Kick." The way he looked at me, I almost felt my heart come out of my chest and was positive my face was turning bright red.
"Well I mean..." I had no idea how to answer this.
"I'm sure whoever you're obsessed with now is very lucky." He smiled. I took a deep breath trying to calm myself down.
"Well... It's more complicated than that..." I said looking away.
"How so?" He asked
"Gunther it's... it's hard to explain."
"We got time." He smiled at me.
"Gunther we only have five minutes until New Years and the fireworks." I started, still reminding myself to calm down.
"Well then I guess that leaves you with four and half minutes to explain, until we have to go upstairs to watch the show." He leaned against the balcony, right next to me. I laughed a bit at the lightened mood, then took another deep breath before speaking,
"You're right about me being over Kick, but... the guy I like doesn't like me." I sighed.
"And why not?" He sounded like he got mad at this "other guy."
"Well... because he has other girls at his side... much prettier girls..." I looked away.
"That guy sounds like a loser if you ask me." I looked at him shocked. "I mean look at you Jackie, you're beautiful." My eyes widened.
"I'm what?" I whispered surprised. Even with the dress and my hair done like this, I didn't feel beautiful.
"Beautiful." He smiled. Now I knew my cheeks were definitely red. I had to regain myself quickly.
"Umm... thank you..." Now it was awkward. I saw him look up, scratching behind his head. Then chuckle. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"Is that mistletoe?" he asked pointing up to the piece of holy above us.
"What's that doing here? It's past Christmas..." I giggle to myself looking at it.
"Maybe Kendall forgot to take it down." He replied before looking down at me. "You do know what happens when you're under mistletoe right?" He smiled at me again. Now I was sure if my heart didn't burst, I was going to faint.
"Um...well yes, but... but I thought that's only for before and during Christmas..."I needed to blab, but by the time I said Christmas, our foreheads were touching and soon enough our lips met. He had one hand to hold my face, while the other went to my back, to bring me closer to him. Suddenly we were interrupted by the fireworks crashing in the sky. My face was crimson, my head swirling, and my heartrate fast. He smiled at me again.
"Happy New Year Jackie."
"Happy New Year Gunther..." I barely whispered back before we kissed again. When our lips parted again, his eyes looked into mine with passion and care.
"Jackie, do you want to go out with me?" He asked me. My eyes widened by his question.
"You mean... I be your..." I couldn't even say it, it was so surprising, and I swear I thought I was dreaming.
"Girlfriend and I be your boyfriend." He finished my sentence. I was so full of happiness, before something dawned on me.
"What about your fangirls?" I whispered, looking away a bit.
"We'll keep it a secret." He winked. "C'mon let's go enjoy the party." I was so happy, I let him take my hand.
"I can't wait." I said with glee as we went back in.
End of flashback
Dodgeball:
"So come this New Years, it will be one year." She giggled.
"Wow that's awesome... but wait..." Kendall thought for a moment.
"What?" Brianna asked.
"I thought I got all of the Christmas decorations down..." she continued to think about.
"Nice job Gunther." Kick gave him a thumbs up.
"Yep I loved it, plus I got a rockin girl out of it." Gunther replied with a smile.
"You sure you got all of them Kendall?" Jackie asked.
"Yeah...at least I thought I did, maybe I just over looked." Kendall giggled.
"Most likely." Brianna agreed, and they all giggled. Kick looked at his sister and rolled his eyes. Then the bell rung. They all started walking to class. "Ugh...well I guess I'll see you guys in P.E. later." Brianna said, starting to walk away. Then was pulled back by her brother.
"Nice job at the New Year's party." He whispered a compliment to her.
"They needed help." She smiled.
"Buttowskis for the win." They high fived each other.
"Yep, see you at P.E." She walked away again and Kick caught up with the others. They had cooking class, which was simple and went by quickly. Then came P.E., Kick's favorite class. Since they were the older class, they had their lockers and were changed quickly. They were ready for class. Their teacher was Coach Warren, a burgundy red headed women, who looked to be in her mid-thirties, but yet still youthful.
"Alright class, I have one word to what it is we are going to do today... Dodgeball." She smiled holding up the new squishy balls they use. (They have had them since freshman year, but they still hurt when thrown at you fast enough.)
"Awesome!" Kick yelled prepared to be a one man team.
"Hold it Buttowski, you're on teams this time. Ronaldo! Kick! You both are captains." She shouted. "Pick your teams."
"Aww biscuits..."Kick looked at Ronaldo. "Prepare to lose." He smirked.
"As if."
"Gunther, Mouth, Jackie, Brianna my team!" Kick yelled.
"Oh Yeah!" Gunther was excited.
"Gordie, Emo kid, and the twins!" Ronaldo called.
"Kick get Kendall and Nicolette!" Jackie yelled at him.
"Agh fine, Kendall, Nicolette, Loraina and Ramia..." He rolled his eyes. However in the back of his mind, was glad to have them on his team, especially Kendall.
"Hey Wait!" Ronaldo crossed his arms, "Kendall's mine... she's my girlfriend."
"Oh well to bad, should have called her first." Kick smirked.
"Ugh...fine, Debbie, Daniel, Casey, and Javier."
"Kyle, Tanya, Tyrone, and Jake." Kick said, "You can have the rest, you're going to need them." He smirked walking away.
"Oh you're going to get it Buttowski!" Ronaldo waved his fist in the air.
"Alright huddle." Kick said to his team. "Two things; one: dodge everything and two: get me the ball." Kick like this challenge. They all nodded. "Let's do this."
"Everyone ready...get set..." The coach then blew her whistle. Gunther, Mouth, and Kick went for the balls.
"Kendall keep light on your feet." Jackie was next to her, dodging the balls that started flying.
"Yep." Kendall dodged a few balls.
"Gunther ball!" Kick yelled.
"Gotcha!" Gunther threw him one. Kick threw it then at one of Ronaldo's team members. Balls were flying. Brianna even enjoyed herself dodging and hitting a few of Ronaldo's team members.
"Nice throw Bri!" Jackie hive fived her.
"Ha this is fun...Oh Kendall! Look out!" Brianna yelled. Kendall saw that Debbie threw a fast one at her. She flipped dodging it, which caught the attention of a certain daredevil. She then picked up the ball and threw it back, but Debbie also dodged.
"Kendall you're supposed to be helping, not being a team player for Kick!" Ronaldo shouted, before also dodging another ball.'
'Ah, she's on our team dork!" Brianna retorted. "Dumb dumb..." Jackie giggled at her under comment.
"Nice dodge Kendall!" Nicolette complimented.
"Thanks." She smiled back. She then noticed Ronaldo throw another ball.
"Kick Look out!" Gunther warned. But, before Kick could react her turned to see a big blue ball coming.
"Aww biscuits." He waited to be hit, but wasn't.
"Jackie catch!" was all her heard. He looked around.
"Nice save Kendall!" Brianna yelled. Kick looked at Kendall, 'Great now I owe her, but what she do?' he thought.
"Gunther what just happened?" Kick asked still dodging balls.
"Kendall saved you by throwing a ball at the one that was coming towards you, and it ricocheted towards Jackie who caught it." Gunther explained.
"Wow, nice." Kick agreed with what the others said.
"Yep! I mean she's on fire, her dodges and throws are awesome." Gunther added.
"Man!" Brianna's voice interrupted their conversation. "Looks like I'm out." She sat down on the outside lines. "You better get them Kendall!"
"Got it." Kendall gave her a thumbs up and kept dodging with ease, as did Jackie.
"You know a good girlfriend would be helping her boyfriend win!" Debra yelled throwing another ball.
"Oh no she didn't!" Nicolette got attitude. "Kendall get me a ball, I'll knock this chick..." She began before being hit by a ball.
"Oh did I do that?" Debbie rolled her eyes then smiled. Nicolette got pissed.
"Kendall!"
"On it! Jackie here." Kendall tossed her a ball and they both threw them at Debbie who screamed and ducked, luckily missing the balls. But, they did hit two other players.
"Kick! Hit Ronaldo in the face already!" Brianna called. Nicolette, Ramia, and Loraina sat around her.
"I love to see that." Nicolette started to laugh.
"Yep." Brianna agreed, she looked over at Kick who gave her the thumbs up. Every time he kept throwing the ball at Ronaldo though, he kept dodging them. This frustrated Kick. Kendall was great at dodging, when she finally landed on her feet from her flip, she got a ball. She smiled when she threw it at an unaware Ronaldo. Before he could even think, he saw the ball and got smacked in the face, his glasses smashing against him. The ball ricocheted off his face and into Debbie's hands. Kendall got a little shocked. She didn't want to hit his face.
"Ooops..." She put her hand over her mouth to try and stop from smiling and laughing. "My bad." She then heard a few people burst out laughing.
"Wooo! Great job Kendall!" Brianna was holding her stomach laughing.
"I'll say, nice throw." Kick smirked at her.
"Ah thanks." Kendall pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I say we finish this." Kick said, catching a ball, then another. He tossed one to Kendall. "Jackie you get Debbie, Gunther Emo kid, Kendall..." He looked at her, still having his smirk.
"You go high and I'll go low." Kendall finished, Kick nodded.
"Ready, set, throw!" They threw their balls, Jackie got Debbie who screamed, Gunther got Emo Kid, and when Kendall threw her ball she got Ronaldo in the wrong place for a guy. He squealed, then Kick got him in the face. This finished the game. Brianna was rolling on the floor laughing.
"Wooo! You rock Kendall! She shouted. "Nice one!" The whistle blew officially ending the game and making Kick's team the winner.
"Nice job Kendall." Kick smirked at her. Before she could react, she was glomped by Nicolette, Jackie, and Brianna.
"Woo! Girl! You were badass!" Nicolette cheered, as they lifted her up.
"Guys put me down, it was just a nice shot." Kendall laughed, feeling a bit embarrassed. They let her down and Jackie gave her a huge hug.
"That was awesome!" Jackie squeaked.
"Guys it was just a whim... I didn't mean to hit him there..." Kendall scratched her head, still embarrassed.
"Who cares it was still a great throw." Brianna started to laugh again.
"Alright class, gym is over, go get changed and go home." The coach interrupted. They all went to their locker rooms and changed back to their normal clothes. Then they headed for the bus stop to go home. They got on the bus, in their usual seating.
"Man today was fun." Kick rejoiced.
"Yeah especially P.E." Gunther agreed.
"I'll say. Kendall you have some mad moves." Brianna beamed looking at her.
"They weren't that great...just on the whim on some throws." Kendall grew red.
"Are you kidding?!" Jackie shouted, "You were amazing!"
"Yeah you were!" Brianna agreed. "I couldn't stop laughing. You hit Ronaldo twice, once in the face, the other in his...well...you know..." She started to laugh again.
"I have to agree, you were great Kendall." Gunther complimented, "Wasn't she Kick?"
"Yeah not bad for some on the whim throws." He looked at her, still having his famous smirk. Kendall knew she was red from the others, but she tried to fight going crimson from him.
"Kick! She was awesome!" Brianna corrected him before Kendall could reply. "Just admit it, she was badass out there."
"Ugh fine, you were pretty badass Kendall." Kick rolled his eyes. Kendall laughed a bit.
"Thanks guys."
"Though I have to ask where'd you learn those moves? I've never seen you do that before." Jackie asked very curious.
"Yeah, even I want to know what you were doing over this summer." Brianna added. Then the bus stopped and the five got off to walk home.
"I don't know really, it just came to me..." Kendall said as they walked. "Anyway I have to go, I'll see you guys tomorrow." She walked up her walkway and into her house.
"Hmm...we'll have to ask tomorrow." Brianna shrugged.
"Yeah." Jackie agreed.
