Chapter 2: Changes
The next day at school, Kim was walking with Morris. From the other end of the hall, Ron watched the two.
He wasn't sure why he was watching them. Kim had dated other people before, but when she was around Morris, Ron got this uneasy feeling.
As Kim laughed at something Morris said, Ron felt that uneasy feeling grow.
"Ron, what are you doing?" came a voice from behind.
"Nothing!" Ron said as he spun toward the person - Monique.
"Yeah. Nothing all right. Just spying on Kim and Morris." Monique said.
"I was not!" Ron argued.
"Yeah right." Monique said.
Just then, Kim and Morris walked toward them.
"Ron what are you doing?" Kim asked.
"N-nothing." Ron replied.
Monique leaned over and whispered something to Kim. Kim's face reddened.
Kim looked at Ron. "So you were spying on me?!"
"No . . . I was uh . . . looking for my contact lens." Ron lied.
"You don't where contacts or glasses." Kim retorted.
"Oh." Ron replied. "My bad."
Kim gave an angry sigh as she rolled her eyes. "Yeah right Ron."
Morris turned to her. "Come on. Let's go."
"All right." Kim replied as she turned away. As she did, Morris shot Ron a very angry glance, but quickly turned around and started walking with Kim. Monique followed.
Ron sighed. There was something about Morris that he didn't like . . . he just couldn't put his finger on what it was.
That's when Ron got an idea. \\Maybe, if I talk to someone who knew Morris fairly well they could give me some clues.//
Ron thought. \\But who?//
\\Bonnie!// he thought, then reconsidered it. There was no way that she would help him . . . not in a million years.
\\Better think about this some more.// Ron thought but thinking wasn't really one of his stronger points.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day at school, Ron was walking over to his locker when he noticed someone standing next to Kim's.
It was a girl, but why was she over at Kim's locker.
Ron nearly choked when he realized that it was Kim. She had pulled her hair back into a neat pony tail and was wearing a light blue skirt with a top to match . . . she almost didn't look like Kim!
"KP?" Ron asked as he walked up to her. Kim turned around.
"Hi." Kim said quickly.
"What's up? I mean, why are you so dressed up?" Ron asked.
"What's wrong with dressing up?" Kim asked curtly. That's when Ron noticed that she was wearing make-up.
"Nothing!" Ron exclaimed. "I was just wondering."
"Well, Morris thought that I should wear this." Kim replied. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I've gotta go meet him before he thinks that I'm not coming."
With that said said, she closed her locker and walked away.
\\Man, what was that all about?// Ron thought to himself. \\And is she still mad at me?//
Ron was confused with these changes Kim kept doing for Morris. She had never done this for him . . .
. . . then again, Ron had never asked her to either. Something was up and he wanted to find out what it was.
But the only person who could help him hated the person he wanted to help.
\\What am I going to do?// Ron asked.
"Hey Ron!" came a voice behind him.
Without turning around, he responded with: "Hey Monique."
"What'cha doing?" she asked.
Ron turned to her. "Monique, tell me something."
"Okay." Monique replied.
"I'm worried about Kim. I mean, she doing all these changes for Morris . . . and, well maybe I'm just being paranoid. What do you think?" Ron asked.
"I think you're being paranoid. Morris is a great guy." Monique said. Then the warning bell rang. "Oops. Gotta go. If I'm tardy once more for English, I'll have a detention."
"Okay. Bye." Ron replied as he grabbed his books out of his locker and headed toward his first hour class . . . Health Education, a class he dreaded.
He sat down in his seat just as the bell rang.
"Alright class . . ." the teacher started. "Today we're going to start the chapter on relationships."
The class groaned.
\\Man, this is mean.// Ron said to himself as he thought of his broken relationship with Kim.
"We're going to being the chapter with abusive relationships." the health teacher continued. "Now, not all abusive relationships are physical . . .meaning not all the time does the victim get hit or has things thrown at them. Sometimes it can be a mental thing."
\\Huh?// Ron thought as the teacher sparked his interest.
"This sort of an abusive relationship usually starts small, like the person doing the abusing - and in most cases it's the male - saying something like 'you know, you should lose a little weight' or 'you should pull your hair back' or something similar but it can escalate to the person controlling who his partner talks to or even in some cases, won't let them go out at all without their permission." the teacher continued.
But the part about the changing looks is what caught Ron's attention. Kim had changed her whole look for Morris . . . something she had never done with another guy. Now Ron was very sure his suspicions were right.
\\But what if they're not? What if I really am being too paranoid?// The only one who could really answer these questions was Bonnie . . . she had dated Morris.
Ron listened to the teacher for the rest of the class time, but couldn't help but wonder if Kim was in a really bad relationship with Morris.
