Hey! Thanks for all the comments! I really appreciate all of them and I take them in consideration. About the PG-13 thing, there's a few parts of this story that might seem a little PG-13ish but not too many. Unless anyone else really thinks I should change the rating then I'll just keep it PG.
Sorry, I know this chapter's kinda short but I hope you still like it. I'm gonna be on vacaction for a week so I won't be able to write the next chapter til at least next Wednesday...but I'll try to post it ASAP.
Wait...one MORE thing. You've probably all noticed that I like using this: "..." That's kind of my style. I was just wondering if anyone found that annoying. I can limit them if anyone really wants.
Enjoy!
Josh took a good look at Kim's body and whistled in approval. Kim giggled and touched her hand on her cheek to cover up the redness. Josh carefully inspected every inch of her…every curve…every smooth surface of her amazingly healthy skin…every one of her considerably large body parts…
…And Ron cringed for every second that Josh was loving. "Look at that!" Ron told Monique. "Only Mankey could get away with acting that stupid!"
"Heh. What can I say? He's cute," Monique responded.
Ron gritted his teeth so loud that Monique could hear it. "Man…if only I had his charm on the ladies. That'd be so cool. But look at me…nothing close to that pretty boy," Ron whined.
Monique laughed. "Jeez Ron. Why you hating on Josh so much?"
Ron smirked. "I don't HATE Mankey. He just…bugs me…"
"Why?" Monique asked flatly.
"Why? Ha!" Ron recalled the first reason why Josh was such a jerk. That was an easy one…but he stopped when he realized…he couldn't find a reason. He looked to Rufus for a response, but he just shrugged and looked away.
"I…uh…because he…" Ron mumbled. "Hmmm…I don't know."
Monique folded her arms. "See. Josh hasn't done anything to you. Remember that time when he even went trick-or-treating with you?"
Ron remembered it…Josh led him to some great houses with loads of candy. So much candy…Ron remembered the joy it had brought him to smell that wonderful, delicious candy. And Josh even gave him half of his share for letting him come along.
'Good times, good times…' he thought.
But then he snapped back into reality. "Yeah, so? That was just one night. I'll admit that Josh was pretty cool to me on Halloween…" Ron stopped again. "And…he's usually nice whenever I see him at school."
"Yeah. So what's your beef with him?"
"I…I told you I don't know. I forgot," Ron said, almost uncaringly. He tried to think back to a time when Josh had pssed him off. Well…his name ALMOST sounded like Monkey and that annoyed Ron…but he just noticed that coincidence a few weeks ago, and Ron had resented Josh for longer than that.
'I guess I just like not-liking him…' Ron said to himself. Though, the back of his mind was telling him otherwise. Rufus handed Ron his juice since the rest of his lunch was already down Rufus' stomach.
"I just don't like him Monique. He gets on my nerves," Ron boasted. He took a gulp of his juice.
"Oh give me a break," Monique scoffed. "He hasn't done anything except-" Just then, an idea popped into Monique's head. She was skeptical at first, but the more she thought about it, the more it made sense. It wouldn't hurt to ask Ron, at least.
"Ron. This might sound kind out there but is it because of Kim?"
Ron almost choked on his juice. He had to spit the rest of his drink back into the carton, but he managed to put out a few words. "Of what??"
"Well cus…Kim likes him…"
"So? I couldn't care less of what Kim thinks about him."
"Okay, okay. Just a thought…"
Monique and Ron sat in uncomfortable silence for a few more seconds before they decided to let the issue die, much to Ron's satisfaction. While Monique continued to finish the rest of her lunch, Ron took the moment to look at Kim. To others, it just looked like he was waiting on Kim, but in actuality, Ron also found it pretty easy on the eyes.
Rufus watched the whole scene unfold from the comfort of the cafeteria tray, and he laughed at Ron's awkwardness.
Rufus was the only one that Ron had ever told his feelings to. Sometimes they were about Kim… He never admitted to liking her but occasionally, he would make a comment that raised Rufus' suspicious. In situations like these, the one incident that always stood out in Rufus' mind was last year's Valentine's Day. Hmmm……..
FLASHBACK
Ron slowly walked up to Kim, who was just about ready to start cheerleading practice. Ron was holding something behind his back.
Ron gulped. "Um…hey KP."
Bonnie and the other girls noticed Ron's voice and turned around to see what was happening.
"Hey Ron. What's up?" she asked cheerfully.
"I-uh…I've been…meaning to give these to you." Ron stuck out his hand stiffly and handed Kim the flowers.
Bonnie and the others immediately started to snicker amongst each other but Kim and Ron didn't even notice them.
"Wow!" Kim said in surprise. "These're beautiful…" She took a whiff of the assorted variety of flowers. "…and they smell so nice…"
Kim looked up at Ron, who was shifting his weight from feet to feet. "Wow, Ron. I don't now what to say…"
"How 'bout you just give your boyfriend a big kiss-wissy on the wips?" Bonnie butted in. All the other cheerleaders were giggling uncontrollably.
Ron and Kim both tuned around and saw that the whole squad, including Mr. Barkin, was watching. Even Mr. Barkin was ALMOST laughing.
"I hate to interrupt you two and your little 'moment', but we have cheerleading practice to get to," Bonnie arrogantly informed them.
Ron could see Kim was blushing furiously (not that he wasn't). He hated to put Kim through all of this. He knew that, unlike him, she had a reputation to protect…and this embarrassing little incident was about to ruin it. Damn it! Why couldn't he have waited until later to give these to her?
Ron spoke up. "Oh! Hahahaha!" he laughed. "You thought these were from me? Hahaha! Yeah, that's funny. Actually Kim, these are from…um…Josh! Yeah, that's right. They're from Josh-"
Ron then realized that he had just basically cemented a Kim/Josh relationship. Flowers on Valentine's Day from her biggest crush. Oh yeah…that was smart.
Rufus remembered how distracted Ron was that night. He couldn't even sleep…
"Hey! Kim!" Rufus squeaked and tugged on Ron's baggy t-shirt.
"Kim…" Ron said nervously. "What'd you guys talk about?"
Kim was already smiling before she walked back to Ron's table. "Oh. Nothing."
"Good," was all Ron could say.
"Okay! I'll tell you on the way to our mission!" Kim shrieked excitedly.
"Great…"
"Later Monique," Kim waved.
Monique nodded. "Later Kim. Later Ron." She winked.
Ron waved but wondered why Monique winked at him.
"Ron! You won't believe it!" said Kim. They were already at the front of the school.
"What?" Ron asked 'excitedly'.
"Josh thinks my new look is…HOT! Oh…I love this body."
"Gee Kim. Who would've ever thought. Some guy called you hot. Woo-pee, let's have a party."
"What do you mean? Did anyone else say I looked hot?"
"Kim…you're twenty-one…you have 'assets'…you're hanging around a high school…need I say more?"
"Oh. Right," Kim giggled.
Ron sighed. Man…this Kim is such an airhead…
