AN: The chapters from here onwards are shorter than the first so I hope nobody minds and I'm also not going to be Americanising my writing, so sorry if that bothers you.
Chapter 2
"So, what have you found out about Possible?" asked an excited Drakken a few weeks after Shego had met Kim at Bueno Nacho.
"Nothing yet. Be patient. It's not like she's going to tell me her secrets straight away. I mean for one thing I'm a guy, so certain areas are off limits anyway and we can't have 'girly chats', now can we?" replied Shego, who was now fed up with Drakken constantly asking for information on Kim.
"I suppose. I just really want to humiliate that girl for everything she's done to us!"
"Uh huh. Okay, well I'll tell you if I find anything out."
"Very good! Have fun at school."
Shego grumbled as she walked out the door and left Drakken to be lazy and just watch TV all day, why do I have to do all the work?
After only a few minutes of walking, Shen met Kim as she was leaving her house. She exited with her back to Shen, obviously saying her goodbyes and as soon as she turned and saw her friend a smile grew and she lightly waved whilst walking down the front path to the pavement.
"Hey Wolfie," Kim said teasingly.
"Stop calling me that!" Shen replied, annoyed at her new nickname that Kim seemed to like.
"But you're so wolf-like," Kim continued, as she always did. Well, she did get a kick out of bugging Shen; it was almost a sport now, "ready for a fun-filled day at school?"
"You know, you've become very sarcastic recently, am I rubbing off on you?" Shego teased, building her way up to revenge.
Rubbing off on me? I could make a sexual innuendo there...but I won't. It seems like something Shego would do! Kim laughed inwardly, but actually frowned when she thought, why did I think of Shego? She snapped out of her thoughts when she realised that Shen had been trying to talk to her but was now walking off mumbling. "Hey, wait up!"
"Hmm...no! Catch me if you can," he called back and started running round the corner.
"That's the wrong way! We have to go meet Ron," Kim shouted whilst she ran after Shen. She was hardly going to let him win!
Shen pretended to ignore Kim's comment as he ran on, but kept glancing back to see if Kim was following but this time he ended up twisting round and falling on his back.
"What the fuck?!" He cursed whilst rubbing the back of his head. It was then he realised that there was an extra weight on him and someone was laughing, well between pants anyway.
"I caught you! Now what are we going to do about Ron?" Kim checked her watch, "We don't have time to go back for him."
"Is he the only person you think about? You're on top of a rather hunky guy, if I do say so myself, who happens to be in pain and you're thinking about that scrawny moron?" Shen looked totally shocked by this. Kim suddenly blushed and coughed as she removed herself from Shego's male body.
"Lets get to school," she murmured, offering her hand to Shen to help him up. They continued walking for a whole 60seconds when she finally broke the silence with, "He's not a moron."
Shen decided to not argue with that, although she had some pretty decent points to prove himself, because the tone that Kim used seemed quiet, as if she was still thinking about it and the statement forced, not to mention it took her a while to say it.

Later that day, Kim and Shen were walking down the school hallway heading outside as it was the break after their first few lessons, when Ron came running at them. They didn't notice him while they were chatting and laughing and he stopped running when he saw the expression Kim was wearing; one that said 'pure joy' in his mind. She hadn't had that look in a long time and Ron, not liking the closeness of the two, screamed in a forced excited fashion, "KP!"
"Hey Ron!" She hurried over to him, momentarily leaving Shen's side, and gave him a quick hug. Shen quirked an eyebrow and sighed as he walked over to them and stood to the side, so when Ron and Kim let go of each other Ron was on his left and Kim on his right.
"So how come you didn't come by my house this morning? I was late anyway, but I know you didn't check," Ron questioned in a slightly annoyed tone but still managed to make it seem like he was just curious. He was glaring not-so-subtly at Shen as he could guess it had something to do with the intruder.
"Oh, well we um, were a bit late as well and we figured you'd understand," Kim lied, which was incredibly obvious and Shen almost rolled his eyes and sighed at it, practice makes perfect pumpkin.
"Huh...I see," Ron replied as his suspicions were proven by the way Kim said 'we'. He looked at Kim and noticed that subconsciously she'd stepped closer to Shen and that he was likewise leaning on his right leg, bringing them closer. Of course, Ron didn't realise that it was subconscious and figured something was going on that he didn't know about, but neither Shen nor Kim were aware of their body language.
"Hey GF, Ron...Shen," Monique purred the last name as she approached the group making him inwardly cringe. It wasn't that he thought she was unattractive, he just didn't find her that appealing; good friend material but nothing more for him, unlike someone else. "Kim, did you get that English assignment done? It was pretty difficult to me so I'm gonna try writing it tonight. I'm sure you did great though huh?
Kim blushed slightly, always the modest one cupcake, Shen thought. "Yeah I did alright I think."
"What about you Wolf?" Monique asked, she always tried to get him talking. Something about his voice just made her crazy.
"I did it," He simply stated (ignoring the use of that damn nickname) and completely gob smacked looks graced the faces of the other three, especially Kim's who had been trying for ages to get him to do some work, "What?! It was pretty easy really. I only had to talk about how I settled in here."
The others were still shocked that Shen had even thought about doing some work let alone actually writing it. The minimum words was 1000 and they knew that when Shen did something, he did it right, so they had no doubt he'd written enough. Also, it wasn't in until the next day and he'd already done it, it having been set for a week "I think the teach is going to have a heart attack," Ron practically whispered as he was trying to get over this miracle, even though he would rather make it seem like nothing. It clearly impressed Kim.

Shen was leaving his final class of the day, Art, and thinking about his homework for that lesson. They had been told to draw someone or something that invoked strong emotional feelings within them. A colour had to border the drawing and it had to relate to the feeling. The teacher had clarified that this feeling didn't have to be love, but it could be hate, fear or something that created inner turmoil; whatever the person wanted to express. Shen had heard that a guy in his class wanted to draw a daisy because they scare him, needless to say he thinks that guy is rather pathetic.
He didn't know what he should draw or even why he wanted to do anything. Why was he doing homework recently? Okay, so he didn't do all of it but still, Shen was working! He first went through the things he loves...nothing, right, okay hate then...Dr D, brothers, school, work, job, Stoppable, alright so that one keeps going and I don't want to draw any of those, especially not Stoppable! Well then what do I fear? Well that's not a comfortable subject so I'm not going there. What am I supposed to draw?!
Shen spotted Monique ahead of him in the corridor so caught up with her. There was something he wanted to know, "Hey Mo."
"Oh hey Wolfie, what's going on?" She asked whilst smiling that Shen had cutely called her Mo (she ignored the fact that both Ron and Kim say it) and was talking to her of his own accord.
"I was just wondering what the sitch is between Kim and Stoppable?" wait...did I just say sitch? Jeez Kimmie must be rubbing off on me...will not think of sexual innuendos!
"Oh," she deflated slightly. She could see that Shen was getting into Kim, even if he didn't want to acknowledge that even to himself, but she had seen the signs; it's all in the body language, but she was still a bit down that he didn't go for her. She was happy for Kim though, she deserved a guy in her life, still she could've gone for Ron and left Shen to her. "What do you mean?"
"Well...are they in a relationship?" Shen asked, trying to make it seem like casual conversation.
"No way, their just mates. Although, if you want Kim you're going to have to get past Ron. They've been best buds for years and he doesn't want that to change unless it's for a deeper relationship." At that she walked off down another corridor they had been approaching and waved goodbye.
Shen was a bit shocked by Monique's comment'...if you want Kim...' Was Shego giving off vibes or something? She didn't even understand what she wanted, so how could Monique have guessed anything? Maybe she was just saying it as a 'by the way' thing...yeah that'll be it. Wait! Art, I know what I could draw...
