Kim took off his shirt and board shorts leaving him standing only in his Speedos as he prepared to start his swimming training. Kim jumped into the water but did start doing laps because he wanted to wait for his dad. Mr Hyde walked to edge of the pool. "good morning Kim" said Mr Hyde. "Dad you're here early" said Kim as he hopped out of the pool.
"I went to Mr Hunter's house to see if you wanted a lift but Beth told me that you had already left" said Mr. Hyde frowning slightly. "what's wrong?" asked Kim. "I just don't know if letting you stay with Hunter's is a good idea anymore" said Mr. Hyde as he handed Kim and towel. "and why's that?" asked Kim suspiciously. "I don't think you should spend as much time with Robbie as you do, I think he's a bad influence" said Mr Hyde.
"what brought this on?" asked Kim angrily. "I don't know if I should be telling you this but a few nights ago I walked in on Mr. Hunter and Mr. Dalby getting intimate" said Mr Hyde.
"that's lie, you know why? Because Robbie and I are together and he would have said something about to me if it were true" said Kim glaring at his father. "I don't think Mr. Hunter wanted anyone to know because as I soon as I'd caught them, he ran out of the library quite distressed" said Mr. Hyde. "look I don't feel like swimming any more, I'll see you at school" said Kim before putting his clothes back on.
Kim walked back to the Hunter's house and changed into his uniform. He kissed Robbie's forehead as he slept before leaving for school. He knew what he had to do he was going to show Dalby true pain for ever touching Robbie. So Tasha was right he was jealous and protective but he didn't want Robbie to get hurt.
Kim walked along the side the road thinking deeply about what his father had said. 'Robbie would have told me if there was something going between him and Dalby' thought Kim as he came to the school gates. Kim waited in the courtyard for people to arrive. People began to fill the school but they didn't seem to interest Kim at all, he was waiting for a certain loner to arrive so he could find out exactly what was going on.
Kim spotted Dalby walking slowly through the school gates and glared at him as he approached the courtyard. Kim walked toward Dalby. "we need to talk" said Kim angrily. Dalby looked up to see Kim glaring at him. "what do you want Kimberly?" asked Dalby. "as I said, we need to talk" said Kim. "I'm listening, which is pretty surprising, considering, usually I wouldn't give you the time of day" said Dalby sarcastically. "just shut up and listen" said Kim "well spit it out already" said Dalby. "what's going on between you and Robbie?" asked Kim sternly.
"I don't see how that's any of your business" said Dalby. "My boyfriend, my business" said Kim dryly. "alright if you really want to know I'll tell you, when we were studying in the library we kissed and it was raw passion! Oh and by the way your so called 'boyfriend' wasn't exactly resisting" said Dalby defiantly. "Robbie was probably delusional at the time because I can't understand why he wanted to get with someone like you" said Kim with a disgusted look on his face.
"that's it, you asked for it" said Dalby as he punched Kim in the stomach. Kim stumbled a little but got his co-ordination back and slammed his right fight into Dalby's right cheek. "not so tough now are you" said Kim. "you haven't seen anything yet" said Dalby aiming a punch at Kim's jaw, but Kim was too quick and moved to the side, punching Dalby's back.
It was then that Robbie and Tasha and Melanie walked through the school gates chatting happily. Tasha was the first to notice the group of student that had formed in the court yard "come on Rob, Melanie, something's going on" said Tasha as they all raced over to see what was going on. It was then that Robbie saw Kim and Dalby fighting. Robbie ran into the middle of the group of students and tried to pull Kim back "Kim please stop" said Robbie worriedly as Kim threw another punch as Dalby.
"KIM! STOP!" screamed Robbie as he tried his hardest to come between them. It was then Kim noticed that it was Robbie trying to stop him and not some random. "Robbie get out of here, this isn't your fight" said Kim roughly. "Kim stop it please" said Robbie trying push himself between Kim and Dalby again. "ROBBIE MOVE" yelled Kim angrily as he shoved Robbie harshly making him fall to the ground hard. Robbie glasses flew off and landed a few meters away the frames completely shattered. Robbie looked up at Kim with fear present in his eyes.
Robbie scrambled to his feet and backed away from Kim. "go ahead and beat his brains out, just don't expect me to be waiting for you at home" said Robbie, tears making their way down his face. Melanie took Dalby's hand before he got a chance to punch Kim while his back was turned. "Eric to do it, it be would very dishonourable. Please forfeit this" said Melanie pulling Dalby away.
Tasha noticed Melanie speaking in English to Dalby, she felt tears springing to her eyes and quickly wiped them away. Suddenly two people began to break up the crowd. It was Mr. Hyde and Miss Fletcher. "everyone go to their classes except, Kim, Mr. Dalby, Mr hunter and Miss Andrews" said Mr Hyde but Robbie suddenly with out a word Robbie ran off. "Mr. Hunter come back here now" yelled Mr Hyde. Kim ran off after Robbie despite Mr Hyde continually calling his name. Kim was gaining on Robbie but he knew that Even if he caught up to Robbie, he wasn't going to stop so Kim did the next best thing and tackled Robbie to the ground.
"Kim get off me" said Robbie struggling under Kim. "no, not until you tell me the truth" said Kim pinning Robbie's arms above his head. "Kim please stop your hurting me" said Robbie. "did you kiss Dalby?" asked Kim. "no he kissed me" said Robbie struggling harder. "but you were all too happy to return it" said Kim mockingly. "Please Kim I was confused about my feelings for you, I love you, I just wanted to know what it felt like to be loved and that's why I kissed Dalby back" said Robbie. Kim's features softened and he got off of Robbie.
Kim began to quietly sob until he felt someone wrap their arms around him an hold him close. Kim looked up to see Robbie leaning his head against his own. "Robbie I'm so sorry" said Kim wrapping his arms around Robbie. "I know" said Robbie happy just to be in Kim's arms. "you scared the hell outta me though" said Robbie as playfully slapped Kim's arm. "Robbie, I don't know what came over me, when I heard that Dalby kissed you I just lost it, I thought that maybe you didn't love me after all" said Kim regretfully.
Robbie looked deep into Kim's eyes searching for one thing only, the truth. Kim's eyes never lied and all Robbie could see was Kim's undying love for him. Robbie crushed him lips on Kim's, it took Kim a few seconds to react but then returned the kiss fully. Kim began to nibble lightly on Robbie's bottom lip, trying to gain access to Robbie sweet mouth. Robbie complied instantly, Kim slipt his tongue into Robbie's mouth and began to explore every crevice of Robbie's mouth until the apparent need for oxygen caused them to break the kiss.
"Robbie, I love you so much" said Kim hugging Robbie closely. "I love you too, Kim" said Robbie stroking Kim's hair. "come on, forget school, lets go home" said Kim as got up and offered his hand to Robbie.
Dalby walked out of the nurses office with a small bandage across his temple and a stitches in his lip. He saw Melanie waiting outside and walked up to her. "are you alright Eric?" asked Melanie as she stood up. "I'm fine, its about 10 minutes till lunch would you like to join me?" asked Eric offering Melanie his arm. Melanie held his arm as they walked to the courtyard.
"So I'm guessing that anything between you and Robbie is over?" asked Melanie before using her chopsticks to pick up the sushi from her lunchbox. "yep, but I'm starting to think that maybe what I felt for Robbie was just infatuation" said Dalby taking a bite out of his sandwich. "There is someone out there for you Eric you'll see, forget Robbie he's happy with Kim but that doesn't mean you can't be happy" said Melanie.
"thanks Melanie, your the best friend I've ever had, its so easy to talk to you" said Dalby. Melanie sighed sadly. "your thinking about Tasha aren't you?" asked Dalby. "Yeh" said Melanie as she set lunchbox down. "maybe if you got her alone and just talk to her, in English, and see where it goes, maybe you guys could go to the beach or something?" said Dalby. "I'll try that" said Melanie happily.
Robbie sat up the bed-covers barley covering his body. He stared off into space, thinking about what he and Kim had just done, it was the single greatest feeling Robbie had ever experienced. Kim entered the room a towel wrapped around his waist. "rob, you ok, I didn't hurt you did I?" asked Kim as he sat down next to Robbie.
"no I'm fine, just thinking" said Robbie smiling as he leant his head against Kim's shoulder. "I love you so much" said Kim as he kissed his way down Robbie neck. "I love you too, I wish we could stay here forever" said Robbie smiling. "well the shower is free and your mum and the twins wont be home till this afternoon, so how about after you take a shower you and I can cuddle up on the sofa and watch a movie?" said Kim.
"could you pass me my robe please?" asked Robbie. Kim smirked at his shy, little boyfriend as he handed him his robe.
