A/N: Wow, 44 reviews in 4 chapters?! That's like 11 reviews per chapter! Thanks so much and keep it up!
You guys that guessed Dork Diaries were wrong! Haha JK you were right! And you all have really awesome taste in books! I'm thinking of Kim as Nikki, Jack as Brandon, Kira as Mackenzie, and Grace as Jessica. Makes sense, right?
So I know I said this chapter will be in Jack's POV and have major Kick moments but I kinda changed it. This one has some cute mild little Kick moments and helps sets up the more major Kick moments later so I hope you like it anyways :)
Okay, with that said, here's chapter 4 of "I Dare You!"

Kim's POV:
"-Tryouts are today and I encourage you all to try out and wish you all good luck." Mrs. Goldsberg finishes as the bell rang. Wait, what?
I grab my backpack and then walk up to Mrs. Goldsberg. "Mam? I'm sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night and-"
"It's alright Kimberly, and all you missed was the announcement of a play."
"A play?"
"Yes, Romeo and Juliet, to be exact-" oh my God- "and tryouts are after school from 3:25 to 4:00. We'll be posting the results list on Monday." Romeo and Juliet. Girly romantic play. I'm out.
"Oh, okay, thanks. Well, I need to get to my next class. Don't wanna be late," I say and start walking towards the door.
"Kim?" Mrs. Goldsberg starts as I'm close to walking out.
"Yeah?"
"I encourage all of my students to try out, but I really think it would be good for you. You'd be perfect for the role of Juliet." She says and I mentally roll my eyes. No! Romeo and Juliet is so over- dramatic and girly and cliché. The only part I like is when they die at the end (what? Don't look at me like that.)
"Well, I'll think about it," I lie to her as I walk out the door.
"Okay. Make sure you do."

The last bell of the day rings. Time for the weekend! I think excitedly as I grab my stuff and walk out the door.
As I'm walking towards the main doors, I pass the auditorium and hear a familiar voice say "Kira Hart, trying out for the role of Juliet." Oh of course she is!" I wonder who all is trying out for Romeo?
Curious, I peak into the auditorium and see a couple of boys in line to try out. There's Jerry, Frank, David, Isreal, and... Jack?!
I bet he's trying out for Romeo. Oh my God! Why does my life have to be so complicated? I wouldn't even be worrying about it but I already know he's a pretty good actor and all these other guys suck.
I do not want him up there with some annoying ditzy Juliet like Kira. Kira's an okay actress... Okay, who am I kidding? She's amazing! No girl in the whole school could possibly beat her.
I used to take acting lessons until I was about 7 and got into karate. I may not be as good as Kira, but I am okay, and maybe I could be the understudy, and she could somehow get hurt.
But just one thing... That would require me to actually audition... Is it worth it?
I take a moment to think about it, then I pull out my phone and call my mom to tell her I'm going to be at school for a little while longer.

"Amazing." Principal Jankens says when I'm done with the audition. "I think you may end up being our Juliet."
I smile gracefully and turn to smirk at Kira. She glares in return. I did way better than her. Looks like she'll end up being the understudy after all.
"Wow Kim, that was really good." Jack says when I step off the stage. "I hope you get Juliet."
"And I hope you get Romeo," I say and then blush, realizing how he may have took that. "Not because of- I just meant, um..."
He just laughs. "Yeah, I know. Are you coming to the big celebration on Saturday?"
The big celebration was this thing that Rudy was hosting. It was basically a party but only for the Wasabi Warriors. Kinda lame, I know, but it will probably be fun if Jack's there. Just drama- free for once, and I can finally get him away from Kira.
"Yeah, I'll be there." I flash a hopefully dazzling smile at him and he just smiles back.
"Me too. I'll call you tonight, okay?" He says.
"Okay. Later." I say and walk out, pulling my cell out of my tote bag to call my mom and tell her to pick me up. Earlier today, I couldn't stop frowning. Now it's the complete opposite, and not- smiling is impossible for me. Jack just lights up my world like nobody else.
Wow- I guess One Direction isn't all that bad after all.

A/N: So I came up with the whole school- play idea in school today and I hoped you liked it. I was going to skip straight to Monday but I wanted to write about the big celebration, which will have lots of cute Kick moments (for reals.)
I'll start writing the next chapter when I get 50 reviews. I hope that doesn't sound selfish or anything but it's just kind of a goal for me and I just want to know that people are still reading this so... Review! :)
Read- Review- Favorite- Follow!
