Sorry if it feels like I'm rushing this story. I'm trying to add more detail but I'm kinda busy right now so...yeah.

"So 'pi' is actually a number?"
Josh threw his hands up in the air in excitement. "Yes! Ron, I think we're actually starting to make a connection here!"
"Cool. So now can I get A's on all my tests?"
"Uh…not exactly." Josh scratched the back of his neck. "But you're getting there. Trust me, with a little more tutoring you'll pass algebra with flying colors…or at least a C."
"Great!" Ron was about ready to stand up and hug Josh but stopped himself when he remembered who his tutor was.
"So…" Ron yawned. "Tomorrow again?"
"Yeah. Same time." Josh was being so polite and helpful to Ron that Ron was having trouble hating him.
'Maybe Kim was right about him…or maybe he's just playing me. Either way, I wish he'd just leave me alone. He's hogging all the chics!'
Ron slung his backpack over his shoulder and nodded his head to Josh.
"So are you going or not?"
Josh bit his lower lip and thought about it. "Well…"
'Please don't go. Please don't go. Please don't go.'
"Hmmm…"
'Please don't go. Please don't go. Please don't go.'
"I…think I'm gonna go."
Ron silently felt like stomping his foot on Josh's toe. "What? Why? Don't you care what your dad thinks of you??"
"Yeah, of course. But there's other ways of doing it, you know. Maybe I'll do some extra chores or something around the house," Josh reasoned.
Rufus felt Ron's warm hands squeeze the inside of his pockets (and almost catch Rufus in his grasp).
"Besides, it's not like we're gonna stay at Bueno Nacho all night."
"Yeah but…but…"
"Oh and also…" Josh checked to see if anyone was looking. "…just between us guys…I kinda have a thing for Kim. You what I mean?" Josh raised his eyebrows. Ron just glared at him and blushed a little.
"No. Actually I DON'T know what you mean," Ron responded bitterly.
"Well, I can understand if haven't really noticed. Since Kim's, like, your best friend and all. That's cool. But to guys looking for a girlfriend…she's probably at the top of every guy's list. Even though you're probably the luckiest guy in school for having a friend like her, it kinda sucks for you that you can't see things from our point of view."
Ron folded his arms impatiently. "What do mean? Who's point of view?"
"Everybody…'cept for the girls of course. If you weren't her best friend I bet you'd have a crush on her," Josh teased.
Ron rolled his eyes. "Heh. Don't think so."
Josh just smiled back. "You would Ron…believe me…Kim's hot."
Ron blushed. "Wh- what?"
Josh laughed and gave Ron a pat on the back. "Just messin' with ya, Ron. She's probably like a sister to you. You don't wanna hear this…"
But Ron stayed silent. He was thinking about what Josh said about Kim. How he described her…if Ron could meet someone like that, he probably WOULD have a crush on her…but he never really thought about looking at Kim as a…'chic.' It was starting to make sense to him, though…
"Anyway…" Ron shook his head to get those thoughts out of his head. "Let's head to Bueno Nacho."
"Yeah." Josh picked up his back pack. "Let's go."
********************************************
"Ohhh…where ARE they??" Kim asked herself. Ron finally convinced her to just wear her pink pants and heart-shaped shirt, but she also put on a little perfume for good measure.
'There they are!' Kim thought as Ron and Josh both walked into Bueno Nacho with their backpacks and a couple of books in each hand.
Ron immediately noticed Kim. Her lips sparkled with the usual layer of lip gloss, but it seemed so much more alluring than usual...maybe Josh had a point. Ron would just have to remember to be a bit more open minded around Kim in the coming days. She was already looking a lot more attractive now that Josh shed a new light on her…
"Hey guys!" she waved.
'Ohh…she's sounds so cute and innocent when she says that…'
"Hey KP!"
"'Sup Kim."
"You ready to order K-" Ron was interrupted.
"Josh, I saved us a seat right next to the window. C'mon." Kim led a blissful Josh to their seats, leaving Ron in the dust, wondering what just happened.
'Is she…ignoring me?'
The light on Kim was starting grow dim again.
'I guess I'll just order FOR you guys…'
Just then, he decided to take an 'open-minded' look at Kim and to his surprise, he noticed that Josh was also right about something else. She had a bangin' booty…
'Oh man…is this the same Kim that I've hung out with for the last ten years? When did a supermodel take the place of my brace-faced, freckled little friend?'
Ron's eyes swayed from side to side, following Kim's every motion. He noticed that other people were staring, too. Boys…from his school and…even some perverted middle school kids checking her out. Upon further inspection…some girls were looking at Kim. No, wait…they were looking at Josh. At least three-fourths of the customer's in Bueno Nacho gave Kim and Josh either a glance or were staring at their combined beauty just like Ron was. His eyes leered at Josh when he touched Kim's hand. Sitting, laughing…at a casual fast food booth like they were having the time of their lives by being with each other…
"S'cuse me, sir. Can I take your order?"
Ron snapped out of his dreamy state. And faced the cashier. "Yeah…um…I'll have…"
As he ordered, another pair made their way to Bueno Nacho. But they didn't have nearly the same amount of enjoyable thoughts that Kim and Josh were sharing…
