Hey, everybody! Thanks again to all the wonderful reviews that have brightened my day. I really do love them, even the short, one-word ones. Anyways, this chapter is kind of fun, and of course have KACK in it!

JACK

"Jack? All systems are a go?" came Milton's voice through Jack's walkie talkie. Jack rolled his eyes as he walked to his spot by her locker. He was clutching some papers in his hand and he felt like the biggest idiot in the world.

"Yeah. Over and out," he told Milton, and put the walkie talkie in his pocket. Now he just had to wait until Sarah Jackson came through the doors to her locker so he could spill his papers.

For the past couple of days, the guys and Kim have been trying to help Jerry get a girlfriend so he could get over Kim. Kim was most enthusiastic about it, as she could probably tell that Jack still wanted to kill Jerry. And she was right. Who cares if he's sorry, and he never meant to hurt anybody? Jerry was an idiot, but this time he went too far in thinking that he had a chance with Kim when she was Jack's girlfriend. So Jack was still mad at Jerry, but he never tried to let it show. That's why he was helping him right now, about to act like a total fool for him.

Right on cue, Sarah walks through the door, carrying a heavy textbook. Jack purposely bumped into her, and papers and textbooks went flying in the air. People passing them laughed lightly, but did not stop to help.

"Oh, geez, I am so sorry!" he fake apologized to the Sarah that was bending down to pick up all the papers. "That was totally my fault."

"No, it's mine," responded Sarah, head bent down. "I wasn't looking." Then she looked up, and he unintentionally made eye contact with her. The way she looked up at him made him uncomfortable, and he busied himself with the papers while Jerry waltzed in.

"Whoa, what happened?" he asked, as they rehearsed numerous times. He still didn't sound natural to Jack, but he hoped it was good enough to fool Sarah.

"I accidentally bumped into… I'm sorry, what was your name, again?" He started to back out, trying to put the spotlight on Jerry, but Sarah kept looking only at Jack. She barely glanced at Jerry when he spoke.

"Sarah. Sarah Jackson."

"Hey, Sarah. I'm Jerry." Jerry stuck his hand out, and Sarah gave him a small smile as she shook his hand.

"Sorry again, Sarah." He was about to say goodbye when Sarah interrupted.

"Oh, that's fine. I am pretty clumsy, so it was actually quite normal for me." Jack had a feeling that she would follow him if he left, and Jerry would be left out, so he stayed put while Milton suddenly came in behind Jerry.

"Jerry!" he said, like he was the coolest person in the world. "You want to help out at the animal shelter with me today? You always come to make sure each and every puppy is happy."

Jack refrained from rolling eyes, since Milton sounded like he was reading straight from a script.

"'Course, Milton." Jerry smiled at Sarah, who looked mildly impressed at this. Jack smiled mentally, because the plan was working, and now maybe he could leave. "Do you like puppies, Sarah?"

As she said that she was allergic to dogs, Jack backed slowly away.

"Bye, Jack!" called Sarah eagerly. Jack waved back, and made his way to Kim's locker. Halfway there he stopped in his tracks. He had never met her before, so how did she know his name?

KIM

"Hey, gorgeous," murmured Jack in her ear when he came up behind her. She got goose bumps on her arms as she turned around to kiss him.

"How'd it go?" she asked excitedly. She really wanted Jerry to get girlfriend. Of course she wanted him to be happy, but she was especially determined to make sure he had a new love interest. She noticed the death glares Jack sent him, so she put extra effort in this plan just to show Jack that she didn't like Jerry in that way.

"Pretty good," Jacks said in response to her question, "except Sarah kept looking at me, and she knew my name when I've never met her before."

Kim cocked her head to one side. "Well, I'm sure lots of girls know you're name. You are good at karate, and you've done a lot of things for the school." As much as she hated to admit it, Jack was popular with the girls, and not just for his karate skills.

Jack smiled mischievously, and leaned closer to her. "It's also 'cause of my good looks, right?"

Holy crap, did he read her mind? She smiled back, and pushed him away from her so she could shut her locker. When they started walking to their usual spot where they did homework, they found Eddie and Milton sitting there.

"Is Jerry off with his new girlfriend?" asked Kim, stretching out the last word in a teasing way. Jack chuckled and set his books down on the bench.

Milton nodded. "When they left, they looked okay. She wasn't initially scared or confused. In fact, I think she and Jerry hit it off pretty well."

Was it just my imagination, or did he sound like he was lying. Eddie's confused look confirmed my thoughts.

"No, they didn't!" he said. "Jerry was practically running after her! I'd say she and Jack hit it off more."

Milton rolled his eyes and smacked his forehead. Kim sent a worried glance at Jack, who blushed and looked down at his toes. Eddie comprehended everyone's expression, and immediately back-tracked.

"A-actually, I meant that Jerry will warm up to her… eventually!" His cheery tone did nothing to sooth Kim's anxious – and slightly jealous – feelings.

JACK

How could Sarah like me? I was the rude one who bumped into her and Jerry was the knight in shining armor… wait, Jack was the one picking up the papers, not Jerry. Maybe Kim was right; girls did like him for his karate skills, and – he didn't mean to brag – but he wasn't the worst looking guy in this school.

I decided to tell Kim that I didn't like her at all, just in case she was ever doubtful that I was returning this weird girl's crush. After school, when we were walking to the dojo together, I brought it up.

"Hey, just so you know, I will never like Sarah in that way at all." Oh, that sounded mean, but it was the truth.

Apparently Kim thought so too, because she raised her eyebrows. "Wow. Um, thanks, Jack."

"I'm just saying," he defended himself, "in case, you know, she actually does have a crush on me, and she decides to make a move. I'm way too crazy about you to care."

Her heart warmed along with her face – even now he could still make her blush! She gently squeezed his hand, and they went the rest of the way to the dojo with huge smiles on their faces.

Oh, no, guys! It might be getting cheesy again. I'm sorry, but I wanted to end this chapter before it got too long. More things sure to come in the next chapter. Also, I think it's becoming my style to only have about ten chapters. I'll bring this up later, but let me know if you want a sequel!
