Aftermath Chapter 2
Ron walked into school the next day with Kim as they did every school day. Kim still giggled a little when Ron gave her a sideways look. The news of the mission had apparently gotten around school as Big Mike came to Ron and gave him a high five that nearly floored Ron. "Way to go, Ron!" he said. "Heard what you did, dude. That sounds awesome. Meet me at lunch dude and give the dudes the story on how you wiped that freak out."
Ron started to strut a little much to Kim's chagrin. "O, brother, this can not be good."
But as soon as Ron was built up then came the fall.
Bonnie called from down the hall. "Well, if it is not Ron "Ice-man" Stoppable." All the students around laughed and soon the word was out. Ron's new name was to be "Ice-man". Kim could not help laughing a little.
"Ron, I am so sorry." Kim said.
"That's ok, KP. Least it is better than loser." Replied Ron.
"And the Ice Princess is with him." Yelled Bonnie.
Now it was Ron's turn to laugh. He watched his friend snap the pencil she had in her hand in two and heard her start to growl.
"Amp down, KP. Let's not start a war before school. Besides Bonnie isn't worth it this early in the day. I also meant to tell you thanks, I couldn't have gone home like that. You did the best thing, besides it was a pretty good joke." Ron mentioned.
Ron was digging through his locker when a familiar scent wafted to his nose. Then two familiar lips touched his cheek. He turned to see the lovely platnuim blonde hair of Tara. "I sorry I had such an effect on you Ron, I sort of needed a cold shower myself when I got home. You are starting to have that effect on me you know. I would have helped you if I had known. I sure Kim would have given me the cup of ice."
Kim dropped several of her books and a couple more came cascading out of her locker when she heard Tara give that comment. She turned to see Ron with his Ron smile and thought to herself "I hope he doesn't go into melt down here in the hall."
When Ron turned to see if Kim was alright he saw that Kim's face was white then red. Kim ducked her head back into her locker. Ron started to laugh then thought better of it and turned back to Tara and said "Thanks Tara, I'm sure that Kim would have been glad to let you hel..ll..p." His voice staggered as Kim gave him a swift kick in the pants for his comment.
Tara took his arm and with a glorious smile said "since our next class is together, would you walk me to class."
"Ah, sure, Tara, ah see you later KP." Ron said as he left Kim standing there with her mouth open.
"Best close your mouth girl unless you are trying to catch flies." Commented a voice behind Kim. Kim whirled around with fire in her eyes to see the delighted eyes of her best friend Monique.
"Oh, hi, Monique. Sorry about that." Kim commented softly.
"What's the story girl, is the story about Ron and Tara true and what is this juicy story about you and a cup of ice." Monique asked with upraised eyebrows.
Kim's face flashed red. "Well, depended on which version you have heard, I can tell you a few facts. One Ron did really save the day and took down a real bad dude. Two Tara did kiss Ron, the two of them rode back to the school together and I had to use a big cup of ice to get Ron out of the coma he was in." Kim said gritting her teeth. "and final point the two of them just walked off together."
"Well, chill girl, I thought he was just a good friend. Is there something else there that I should know about?" asked Monique.
"Oh, I don't know Monique" Kim said softly. "I mean Ron has always been with me. When Josh and I started dating, I know he felt like some extra wheel or something. Now it looks like someone is interested in him and I don't know what to think about it."
"Interested, is there something you are telling me?" asked Monique.
"Back at the camp as we were leaving. Tara asked me if I minded her riding with Ron. She then asked me…she asked me if I minded if she made a play for Ron." Kim said.
"Well what did you say?" asked Monique.
"I told her I didn't mind one bit, and that she might enjoy getting to know the side of Ron that I know." Kim said.
"Oh, I see" Monique said. "You afraid that Ron might open up to Tara like he has you. And maybe that there might be someone else in his life besides you, and maybe you don't want to share ."
" I don't know what I am thinking right now." Kim said. "At first, I thought it would be nice for both of them. But, just then, when Ron walked off with Tara, he left me behind. He has never left me like that."
"Uh-huh, just like you leave him in the hall when you chase after Josh, or like the time you left him in the janitor's closet during the dance." Monique commented.
Kim bowed her head and smacked it against her closed locker. "Yeah, just like that. But there is one difference, at least he spoke to me as he went off. I don't ever remember doing that when I went to see Josh. That's the problem."
"Well, we are both going to have bigger problems if we don't get on a move and get to class. You don't want Barkin on your case to start your day." Monique grabbed Kim's arm and dragged her toward their first class.
Sorry for the short chapter. Seemed to be a good place to stop for now. Lot's more to come.
