Chapter 3

Kim's POV

I woke up cheerily before my alarm clock even rang because I realized it was going to be another wonderful Friday. As I got up and did my morning stretches, my thoughts shifted to Ron.

'I really hope he'll forgive me.'

'Don't worry. From what Monique said, he misses you even more than you miss him.'

I bent down to touch my toes and counted to ten, and then followed that up with a few arm stretches. As I finally completed my morning routine, I jumped into the bathroom and took a quick shower.

Stepping out fifteen minutes later, I dried myself off and put on my clothes. Standing in front of the mirror, I applied some make-up to cover up some blemishes on my face before heading downstairs. I only took a few bites of food before I set off for school, anxious to meet this new day.

---

My journey to school was uneventful as usual, and I made my way towards my locker. Seeing a lone figure sitting by it, I realized immediately that it was none other than Ron. Keep calm.

"Hey, Ron," I said anxiously, giving him a smile.

"KP!" he yelled in a loud voice. Glad to know he missed me too. It's time I made amends for my despicable actions.

"Listen," I started slowly, not wanting to mess up my apology. "I'm really sorry about ditching you that day." Amen to that. I can't believe it took me so long to realize just why Ron got so mad at me for it. "I know we haven't exactly been very close these past few months, but I want to—"

"There you are my sweet Kimmy," a melodious voice said behind me. I melted at the sound of his sexy voice.

"Hey, Stoppable," Josh said. I still don't know why Ron doesn't like Josh. He's charming, respectful, and talented. When Ron didn't reply, I couldn't help but feel a little angry. How could he be so rude?

"Hey, Josh. You ready for the party tonight?" Like every other week, I anticipated extreme enjoyment.

"Hey, I'm always ready to party." And he's so hot when he does.

"I'm so lucky to have you…" I said dreamily and found myself lost in his beautiful, blue eyes.

"Same to you, Miss Possible." So charming…

"You're too good to be true…" I whispered to him, my eyes still glued to his. Unfortunately, the bell interrupted my tender moment, and I realized I still had a long way to walk to class.

"Well, I better get to class," I said, not wanting to end our conversation one bit.

"Yea..." he said. I could tell he really liked me by the way he said that.

As I walked to class, I had this weird feeling and I couldn't put my finger on it at first. Then it came to me: Ron. Oh God, Ron! How could I just forget about him? I realized that I had made a huge mistake, that instead of apologizing and mending our relationship I had just pushed him farther away. School passed by uneventfully, and it left me feeling increasingly guilty about Ron.

'What am I turning in to? I just pushed him away again, as if I don't even want him around anymore.'

'Why should you?'

'What?'

'He's a loser.'

'What?!'

'You're sexy, beautiful, charming…everything he's not.'

'NO!'

I shivered visibly, before heading to cheerleading practice, where Josh was watching from the bleachers. After I finished I told Josh I'd go home and shower and he could pick me up at seven. I turned off my Kimmunicator, not wanting anything to ruin this perfect night. We arrived on the party right when it started heating up, and Josh and I jumped right into the fray of things.

We danced like wild animals and partied like them too. Eventually, we got pretty tired and retired to the back deck.

"Kim, I've never quite met someone like you. Beautiful, smart, and so sincere and deep." I gazed into his dreamy eyes.

"I feel the same way, Josh. I just wish Ron could see you the same way I do. Well, in a straight way of course," I said quickly.

"Yea, I wonder why he doesn't like me. You know, Kim, you shouldn't hang around people like that, people who just leave you when you don't spend every minute of every day around them." I know it wasn't true, but the way Josh said it just made it seem so true.

"Josh, I wish we could stay here forever, just talking and enjoying each other's company."

"Yea…same here." He leaned over to kiss me, and I almost fainted. I found just enough energy, however, to kiss him back. The feel of his lips on mine made life seem so perfect.
