Chapter 7: Kimiko and Colt fights

The next day, the girls met with the boys outside the garage at 8am.

Once they met up, they cycled to school.

Kimiko was cycling. Well, was day dreaming and wondering if the girls said yesterday were true about Jake or not.

She got blown away and didn't realize a truck coming her way.

"Kim!" screamed Rika.

"Kim, move over you ass!" continued Ayumi.

"Kim!" screamed Tum-Tum.

But she couldn't hear them. By then the truck was getting closer and closer.

Colt stopped her and they were lucky enough the truck stop right on time.

Kimiko then snapped out of it.

"What happened?" asked Kimiko, looking at the truck.

"What were you doing back there! You almost got killed by a truck, Kim!" replied Colt.

"Oh, I did? Oh! Yeah, I did. Sorry." Said Kimiko apologizing to the driver of the truck.

"Be careful kids! You should cycle down the path not the road! You're lucky your friend here saved you." The driver said and drove.

Ayumi and Tum-Tum whistled.

"Are you alright, Kim? You look a bit… dreamy…" replied Colt.

"Yeah. Let's get to school…" said Kimiko, cycling.

"You owe Colt two!" replied Ayumi, behind.

"Is she alright?" asked Colt.

"Well, I think it's about Jake… I mean…" said Rika.

"Jake? Who's Jake…?" asked Colt.

"Oh no one. Nope. No one." Replied Rika.

"C'mon, tell me!" said Colt.

"He's Kimiko's boyfriend. Well, yeah. I think so. Not sure now." Replied Rika. "But DON'T tell her I tell you that."

"Boyfriend?" asked Colt.

"Yeah, sorry. But I told her to dump him already. So no worries yeah!" replied Rika and cycled with Rocky.

Colt was shocked.

Once they reached school, Colt hurried to his locker.

"Wow, I never seen Colt so eager to get to school!" said Tum-Tum.

"Yeah, me too… Wonder what's up with him…" replied Rocky.

"Yeah… I wonder too…" said Rika.

"BAD idea of telling Colt! GAH! It's all my fault! Wham." Thought Rika.

"What's wrong with Colt?" asked Kimiko.

"I…I…I…I don't know…" replied Rika.

"You're stuttering. Did you tell him anything you're not suppose to?" asked Kimiko.

"No! Why… Why… Would I?" asked Rika, half laughing.

"Then why are you stuttering?" asked Kimiko.

"Yeah, usually if you've done something wrong you'd stutter." Said Ayumi.

"Something wrong…? No… What the hell would I say something wrong…?" asked Rika.

"Rika… What exactly did you tell Colt?" said Kimiko.

"Nothing! Really… (Pause) ok fine! I told him about… about… Jake…" replied Rika.

"You what!" asked Kimiko.

"I'm really sorry! It just… It just… spilled!" replied Rika.

"Oh, great! Next minute I want to dump Jake and then Colt gets frustrated about this! Darn it!" said Kimiko.

"Well, I'm sure Colt will understand it. Why not you talk to him?" asked Ayumi.

"Well, I could give it a try." Replied Kimiko.

Soon, everyone went in their classrooms.

Kimiko hurried to her table which was next to Chloe.

"Hey Kim." Said Chloe.

"Hey." Replied Kimiko.

"What's wrong?" asked Chloe.

"Nothing… Nothing… Nope… Nothing's wrong… Not a single thing… Nope… (Looks at Chloe's what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-her look) Alright! Fine! It's about… About…"

Before Kimiko could finish, Mrs. Cayne entered the classroom.

"Tell me the details later!" said Chloe and she sat back at her seat.

"Ok, class. Our principal, Mr. Romano, has suggested for a Homecoming Dance at the end of next week. And everyone should attend, unless they have a valid reason." Said Mrs. Cayne.

"What? I've got a zit on my forehead! I can't go looking like that next week!" said Sheryl, interrupting.

"Wow, that's valid." Said Kimiko and everyone laughed.

"Haha. Very funny, Kimberly." Replied Sheryl, rolling her eyes.

"Well, if you have a zit, you should ask the doctor for a medical certificate, Sheryl." Said Mrs. Cayne and the whole class laughed.

"Fine!" replied Sheryl.

"But Mrs. Cayne, what's the reason for this entire dance?" asked one of the classmate.

"Well, Mr. Romano said that it's just for… erm… how do I put it… lets say it's the last week of school and stuff… something like that... you know…" replied Mrs. Cayne.

"A homecoming dance for the last week of school? How lame is that!" whispered Chloe to Kimiko.

"Yeah! I was thinking of the same thing too!" replied Kimiko.

"So, how about we skip it?" asked Natalie.

"Are you mad! I don't want to miss on the food, music, boys!" whispered Christine, one of their friends.

"Cheese! Is that WHY you want to go to the Homecoming dance?" asked Kimiko.

"Duh!" replied Christine.

"Hey, I bet I know who Kim's going to go with…" said Chloe.

"Really? WHO?" asked Natalie.

"Jeffery Douglass!" replied Chloe whispering.

"What! That's… That's… Crazy!" said Kimiko.

"Is there something you girls want to share at the back?" asked Mrs. Cayne.

"Oh… Uh, no… Nothing Mrs. Cayne…" replied Chloe.

"As I was saying…" said Mrs. Cayne and continued.

Soon it was lunch.

"So, Kim, what is it that you want to tell me just now?" asked Chloe.

"Oh, uh… Later… I gotta talk to my sisters… See you in English class!" replied Kimiko and went up to her sisters.

"Hey Ayumi, what's up?" asked Kimiko, waiting for her to close her locker.

"Hey, I was just heading to the cafeteria. Wanna come along? Rika told me to wait for her at our usual table." Replied Ayumi.

"Sure." Said Kimiko.

"So, have you talked to Colt yet?" asked Ayumi while they were walking to the cafeteria.

"That's the problem. Nope. Didn't get any chance at all in class just now." Replied Kimiko.

Suddenly she bumped into someone. It was Colt.

"Oh! Sorry, Colt! I didn't realize you were there." Said Kimiko, helping him pick his books up.

"Oh it's alright. Next time, day dream about your Jake at the right time." Said Colt putting on a fake smile.

"What? What makes you think I'm thinking about Jake? What's wrong with you, Colt?" asked Kimiko.

"You! You know what? I hate all this! I hate you, I hate everything about you! I should have ignored you all the time and let you die in that Albert's place!" replied Colt.

"Oh, yeah! (Throws his book) Nobody asked you to save me at the first place!" said Kimiko.

"Well then that's a lesson learnt for me to learn! Never save a betrayer! You can just let her rot and die!" replied Colt and stormed off.

"Betrayer? When did I even betray him!" asked Kimiko.

"Whoa, chill Kim… He's just having a rough time…" replied Ayumi.

"Rough time my foot." Mumbled Kimiko and they walked to the cafeteria.

"He's a dumb ass! All boys are the same! JERKS! ARGH! I shouldn't have fallen for him at the first place! Dammit." Thought Kimiko.

Once they reached there, Kimiko saw Colt sitting next to Tum-Tum, Rocky and Rika.

"You know what, Ayumi? I think I'm going to sit with Chloe for today. See you after school!" said Kimiko and hurried to Chloe's table.

Ayumi was confused.

"Hey Ayumi! I saved you a pudding." Said Tum-Tum.

Ayumi then settled down next to him.

"Where's Kim? I thought she was with you." Said Rika taking a btie from her apple.

"Well, she WAS. Until something happened and she decided to sit with Chloe." Replied Ayumi, looking at Colt.

Their eyes were then on Colt.

"What?" asked Colt.

"What did you do to her Colt?" asked Rocky.

"She started it." Replied Colt.

"What EXACTLY did you do Colt?" asked Rocky.

"Why not you ask her!" said Colt.

"C'mon Colt, we all wanna help…" replied Tum-Tum.

"Did you mention anything about Jake?" asked Rika.

"Y…Ya… I just can't help it!" replied Colt.

"Oh great. Kim's gonna be really upset…" said Ayumi.

For the rest of the lunch, everyone was silence except for Ayumi and Tum-Tum who was chewing loudly until the bell rang.

"Well, guess we'll see you guys later." Said Rocky.

"Yeah, sure. Wait at the basketball court after school alright." Replied Ayumi.

"Alright, see ya!" they said and went to their separate classrooms.

Meanwhile, Kimiko told Chloe everything and she was shocked Colt said that to her.

"Wow! One minute you're friends and the next minute you guys are enemies? Sheesh!" said Chloe.

"Gee Chloe. You made me feel WAY better now." Replied Kimiko.

"Oh! Sorry!" said Chloe.

"It's okay. I'm in no mood already…" sighed Kimiko.

"Relax man… Well, maybe you're better off without him! (Looks at Kimiko rolling her eyes and sighed heavily) Ooookay. Maybe not." Replied Chloe.

"Seriously, I feel like just… just… smacking his head! Damn it!" said Kimiko.

Then they entered the classroom.

Chloe kept on cheering Kimiko up but to no success at all.

Then Mr. Brown entered the classroom.

"Kimberly, there's someone in the office who wants to see you." Said Mr. Brown.

"Don't worry, I'll write down the notes for you." Said Chloe.

"Thanks Chloe. You're the best." Replied Kimiko.

Kimiko hurried down the office.

She was shocked to see…
