AN: I'm sorry it has been almost two months now since I said I would update this. I'm pretty sure that you have all gotten tired of me, and I'm not sure if this chapter give justice to my first one. I've been so busy lately, and hopefully it will slow down so I can write more. Enjoy! :)

Kim's POV

How could I be so stupid?

I was getting some books from my locker yelling at myself mentally. Yesterday, I kissed Jack. I kissed him, and now he is probably so confused, and he probably hates me because he isn't interested in me.

I have a huge crush on Jack, and I try my best to hide it, but yesterday, I couldn't control myself. And the problem was, he probably didn't like me back. I was way to out of his league. Yet, I could help but falling for those deep, dark brown eyes.

I had been avoiding Jack, and the rest of the gang all day, for I did not want to know what would happen if I had to. So far I had been doing well at staying away from them. I even sat with the cheerleaders during lunch today.

But obviously with my luck I just had to bump into Jack. I shut my locker, turned around, and there he was staring down at me.

"Hey, Jack," I said trying to keep a straight face.

"Have you been avoiding me Kim?" He asked seriously.

I tried to avoid his gaze. "No, why would you say that?"

"Kim, look me in the eye and tell me that you haven't been avoiding me."

I stared straight into his eyes and hoped that he would believe me. "I have not been avoiding you, Jack. I just needed sometime to hang out with some of my other friends. Not everything is about you Jack."

Thankfully, he bought it. "Oh, okay. I understand. See you later." He started to walk away, and then he turned back around. "And Kim, about that kiss yesterday..."

The bell rang. "Gotta go! See you after class." Then I ran away as fast as I could. Thank god I didn't have to answer his question right then and there.

Back at my locker after class, Jack came to talk, again.

"So Kim I'll start where I left off. Why did you kiss me yesterday?"

I told my second lie of the day. "It was distraction. I kissed you, you stood there looking confused, and then I knocked you down. It's as simple as that."

Jack looked at me suspiciously. "Oh really."

"Really." I grabbed my books and closed my locker.

"Well, then let's have another rematch. Shall we? Today after school, and this time no flirting gestures."

"I wasn't flirting, and you are on."

Why did I agree to this? I wasn't ready to face Jack. Not now after I kissed him yesterday. I'll just have to try. I can do this I told myself, but I knew that I couldn't.

I took a deep breath and stepped out of the dressing room in my gi. I saw Jack standing on the mat with a big cute grin on his face. How was I supposed to face him while he was taunting me with his unforgettable smile.

We bowed to each other and started attacking. He kicked and I dodged.

"Kim, I know that kiss meant something more."

"Shut it, Jack." I punched and he stopped it.

"It's okay Kim, I understand if your confused, but..."

I stopped attacking and screamed at him. "I am fine Jack! Stop talking about it!"

We stared at each other until Rudy came out.

"I hear screaming. I everything all right?" he asked.

"Everything is fine," I said.

He shrugged. "Okay, well I'm leaving, and make sure that you leave before the mall closes. Bye." He waved his hand and left.

I sat down and put my face in my hands.

"Kim," Jack said in a soft voice as he sat next to me. "There is nothing wrong with having feelings."

"Well, it is if they are directed towards someone, and if that person doesn't feel the same way." I looked a Jack.

"I never said I didn't feel the same way." He looked into my eyes.

I stood up. "Why would you feel the same way? Every single girl in the grade swoons over you, Jack. And I'm... What..." I tried to collect my words. "Out of all those girls, what would be the chance that you would pick me. I'm just one of the guy. I like to thrust some kicks and punches, and I like to kick people's butts. What kind of guy would want a girl like me? Why would a guy want me?" I sighed and sat down on the bench.

Jack just smiled and got up. "Don't sell yourself short. You're pretty, smart, athletic, and you know how to slap some sense in people. And yet you have that girly side. You are a mix of everything that a guy could ever want. The boys in our grade are all over you. But, I'm just a karate freak, and I can do some gymnastics. What good does that do?" He sat down next to me.

"Now you're selling yourself short." I playfully punched him. "You are kind, loyal, compassionate, you would do anything for your friends. Girls dig that."

"Well," he turned towards me and brushed some hair out of my face. "I don't care who those girls are."

"And I don't care who those boys are," I said with a grin.

Then Jack's arms snaked around my waist and I threw mine around his neck. We kissed and it was pure bliss. We broke apart and smiled.

"Let's go before the mall cops catch us," I whispered in his ear.

"Good plan," He answered. I took his hand and together we exited the mall.

Hope you liked it. Feedback anyone?
