Hey, guys! I'm really sorry for taking so long to update – I've been on vacation, school, just a bunch of stuff has kept me from writing this story. My mission to create an unpredictable twist on the story was successful according to your reviews. I hope this chapter is just as jaw-dropping as the last one!

Katie

P.S. Just because I put KIM and JACK point of views does not mean I have to use first person. It's like that in other books so it's not just me! Putting that out there for all you people who think you know everything.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kickin' It.

KIM

Kim sat in French class, one hand on her new necklace, not particularly paying attention to the teacher's lesson. She thought of the rest of her conversation with Jack half an hour ago. He had looked very disturbed when she told him about the note.

"Is there something wrong with that?" Kim had asked, half defensive. After all, just because she was taken didn't mean anyone didn't admire her anymore. "It's not like I care who it is. I have you." She stepped closer to him, and she thought she saw him flinch before he put his arms around her. Was that just her imagination? She decided it was before she pulled away from him and they walked to their classes together.

"There's nothing wrong with that," he said. "I'm just surprised that someone would do that when they know that we're together." He shook his head in disbelief.

Kim scoffed. "You never know with guys… no offense."

They reached the top of the stairs, where they went separate ways. He leaned in close to her and kissed her quickly before leaving. She was beginning to think that it wasn't her imagination when she saw that troubled look on his face.

JACK

Somehow, he got through school without getting in trouble for not paying attention. All he wanted to do was go home and collect his thoughts, but first he had to see Kim and J.E.M. at the dojo. Although he wasn't sure he could feel happy when someone was out to get his girlfriend.

"Hey, Jack," said Jerry, who looked like he had run to catch up with him. "How's it going?"

"Hi, Jerry. Everything's fine." He couldn't help but let his bad mood show.

Jerry's eyebrows knit together, and he patted Jack's arm briefly. "Are you okay, man? You seem kind of down."

Jack sighed and told him about the love note and necklace in Kim's locker. "I don't know what to do. What if this guy makes himself known, and he's exactly what a girl wants for a boyfriend. And what if Kim falls for that and she leaves me like that." He snapped his fingers, feeling more worried than he was before. Looks like working out his feelings wasn't a good idea after all.

"Oh, man," said Jerry, looking almost as bothered as Jack was. "I am so sorry."

"Why? It's not your fault." Jack gave Jerry a curious look.

"Right. I know," his friend replied, looking flustered. "It's just that, uh, I feel your pain, and, um –"

Just then, someone bumped into Jerry, knocking something out of his backpack. "Hey!" he yelled after the person. "Watch where you're going." He rolled his eyes and kept walking, not noticing that Jack was retrieving a piece of paper on the ground.

It was a receipt from the jewelry store he went to the other day. For the necklace he was going to buy Kim.

It was bought by Jerry Martinez.

"Jack's, what's taking you…" Jerry's voice trailed off as he spotted the receipt in Jack's hand. The two boys looked at each other, one's eyes full of anger and confusion, the other pair full of regret.

"What. The. Hell," said Jack very slowly, the rush of fury blinding him for a moment. All this time, Jerry liked his girlfriend. He even bought her a necklace! He took a step towards Jerry, who backed up.

"Okay, wait. Let me explain – Whoa!" He stopped midsentence as he ran away from Jack. He chased him to the dojo, where everyone else was already gathered.

KIM

I was just practicing my flying spin round kick when Jack and Jerry ran through the door – no, Jack was chasing Jerry! He had a look of complete and utter madness as he shouted incomprehensible things at Jerry. Finally, he leaped and tackled and tackled him to the floor.

"I'm sorry," cried Jerry from underneath Jack. "Get off me so I can explain!"

"Jack, get off of Jerry!" ordered Kim, still stunned at this sudden fight.

"No!" he yelled. "He was trying to steal you!"

"What? That makes no sense. First get off of him." She forcibly removed him from Jerry. He didn't shove Kim off, but allowed her to pull him away. She could tell he still wanted to pummel Jerry, but he was holding back for her.

"Okay, she said as Jerry got up and straightened his clothes. "Now explain yourselves, you two."

"I found this in Jerry's backpack." Jack held up a receipt. It showed that the necklace she found in her locker was bought by Jerry. Her eyes widened and looked at Jerry, who was blushing furiously.

"Okay, I'm really sorry about that," he began. "I don't know what I was thinking trying to impress Kim. Maybe I was just desperate to get a girlfriend, so I started thinking about the one girl that would talk to me." He swallowed hard, staring at the floor. "When I heard you two got together, I got jealous, and so I bought her a necklace. I was so stupid, because now I see that you really love each other, and I didn't mean to cause you any pain." He looked earnestly at Jack, then Kim.

Everyone was silent, even Rudy. Finally Kim broke the silence.

"It's okay, Jerry. I'm flattered, but you're right. I do love Jack."

Jack looked at her in surprise; That was the first time she used the l-word. He wanted to say it back, but she continued.

"And we'll find you a girlfriend. Someone who can get past your… quirks. Everyone will help. Right guys?" She looked imploringly at Milton and Eddie, who immediately nodded.

"I can already think of a few," said Eddie.

"And Jack." Kim turned to her boyfriend. "You know you can trust me enough that I would never dump you for another guy."

Jack, who had been glaring at Jerry, suddenly turned to Kim with guilty eyes. "Yeah, " he finally muttered. "I'm sorry for tackling you, Jerry."

"I deserved it, man. Let's just forget this." They did their "bro handshake" that Kim still didn't understand. Rudy sighed and made them get back to practicing. All the while Jack and Kim kept an eye out for each other, glad that the truth was finally out there.

So that's finished. I don't know when the next time I'll update due to my busy schedule, but keep a lookout for this story. Don't give up on it – there are still cute moments of Jack and Kim to come!
