(Jack POV)
"Jack!" Kim calls while running after me.
"Yeah?" I turn around.
She stops and is now standing a few inches away from me. "I just wanted to say goodbye. I- we are going to miss you at the dojo. And don't tell anyone but I caught Rudy crying in his office this morning." We both smile and laugh.
"You guys act like I'm never coming back, I'm just moving for six months. My dad wants me to be there for the wedding and meet his new family." I say that with disgust. I don't wanna go. He made his choice to leave my mom and move to a new state. And he doesn't contact me once until he says I'm coming to Chicago for this wedding whether I like it or not. The nerve of the man who claims he's my dad.
I can't believe he's making me leave the perfect life I have here. I have perfect family and friends, and a perfect sensei, and I'm going to miss the most important karate tournament for this trip. Ugh, annoyed doesn't even begin to describe what I feel.
"A lot on your mind?" Kim ask with a wry smile.
"Oh yeah, sorry," I mumble while scratching the back of my neck. Ugh, nervous habit.
"I'm really going to miss you," Kim says while enveloping me in a tight hug. I hug her back and we don't let go until my mom puts her hand on my shoulder. I tell Kim goodbye and then say goodbye to my other friends, Rudy, Milton, Eddie, and Jerry. Milton cries when he tells me goodbye because he's scared the Black Dragons are going to beat him up every day.
Unfortunately, he's probably right, but I don't tell him that. Instead I say something along the lines of Kim will protect you. Then I get into the car with my mom and she starts to drive to the airport. Me and my friend's wave to each other until we are out of sight but I still wave anyways. This is going to be a long trip.
(Kims POV)
When Jack's mom's car is out of sight I can't help but burst into tears. Milton, Jerry, Eddie, and Rudy do to, but mine mean much more.
"Im sure going to miss him," Jerry says. We all nod in agreement.
"Yeah, Kim's going to miss her first love," Rudy says with a snicker.
"What?!" I say almost choking on air. They all start laughing and I feel my face flush.
"Come on Kim, everyone knows," Eddie says. Oh no, Jack knows? "Well, except Jack." He finishes. I breathe a sigh of relief. Thank god, if he knew things would be so awkward.
"He is not my first love!" I shout.
"So he's your second?" Milton asks.
"No!" I'm yelling now, "He's not my love at all!" And I through my arms up in frustration. They all burst out laughing, and I feel my face flush again. This time from anger.
"You know what? I'm done with you people. I hope the Black Dragons kick your ass!" I shout and they all stare at me.
"And you know what? I think I'm going to rejoin them. The only reason Bobbi Wasabi was even remotely good was because of Jack, and he's gone. And you guys know I'm not a loser, so forget you all…. Oh! And peace out suckers!" I say as I storm off. There all dead silent and I can feel their eyes on me as I walk away.
I can't believe it. I just lost all my friends, and the worst part is. I did love Jack. No! Scratch that. Do love Jack. But it doesn't matter because he's gone now and I've lost everyone…. Well not everyone.
(Cece POV)
I'm. So. Freaken. Mad. Ugh, I just can't take this. First my mom comes home one night from her anniversary dinner out with Jeremy, and announces she's engaged. To the man I hate. And then she says his son Logan Jack Hunter is coming to stay with us in our already crowded apartment. Hmmm… now that I think about it I can just stay with Rocky, like, for the rest of my life.
"Hey, hey, hey," Rocky says while coming in my apartment through the fire escape as if on cue.
"Rocky!" I say flashing her one of my award winning smiles. She immediately knows something's wrong.
"Cece…" She says and puts her hands on her hips.
"Fine…" I say while rolling my eyes and I tell her everything.
"Oh Cece…" She says while pulling me into a hug. I smile, she is just so supportive.
"Just one question," Rocky says.
"Ask away!" I say in a sarcastic voice.
"Is Logan cute?" There's dead silence and they you hear a slap. And yes, that's the sound of me hitting her across the face.
