10 years earlier
"Crawford, move" 14 year old Jack Brewer yelled at Kim Crawford. "Um, excuse me doucebag but this is my boyfriend's locker so I'm pretty sure I can stand here if I want to!" Kim yelled back. Jack was the school's bad boy wearing leather jackets and having girls fall at his feet. Kim Crawford was the school genius and 'one of the guys' coming to school in sweatpants and hoodies yet she was one of the most athletic girls in the school. If Jack pushed her round Kim could hold up and fight back, it also helped that her boyfriend was captain of the football team Jonah. Every girl at school couldn't understand why Jonah would fall for a disaster like Kim and Jonah didn't know himself.
Jack pushed Kim up against the lockers and threated her "If you don't move I will personally punish you and do you remember Danny Regs well I punished him and now he lives in Italy so I suggest you move." Kim was about to fight back Jonah showed up and saved her, just as the first bell rang.
It was now period 5 and Jack and Kim had Psychology. At the end of the lesson their teacher, Mr Puddy called them to the front of the room to discuss Jack's grades. "Jack, your grade are falling and is you fail another test we are going to have to get your parents and the principal involved and I'm pretty sure you don't want that to happen, correct?" Jack nodded sheepishly. "Kim, you're at the top of your class in every subject and I figured you're not behind in anything and probably have a lot of free time on your hand" Kim nodded. "So I figured out a solution, Kim you will be Jacks tutor. I've already talked to Kim's parents Jack's parents and your sensei and they have all agreed that this would be a good idea. Now you can work in here, library or basically anywhere where you won't be distracted. Okay? Okay." Kim and Jack scowled at each other and went off in different directions as Mr Puddy just shook his head and smirked to himself.

"Pwease Kimmy" Jack pleaded, pulling a puppy dog face. Kim just laughed at her best friend. "Seriously Jack, seriously?" she managed to spit out in between giggles. Jack stopped and looked at her for a while until he said "I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but you have left me no choice." Jack pounced on the smaller girl and tickled her until she surrendered. "Do you give up Kim? Huh, Huh?" Jack said evilly. "Never" Kim yelled between laughing fits. Kim's mum walked into the kitchen to find the two teenagers on the couch. Jack paused for a moment to say "Hello Mrs Crawford" before returning to attack Ruby's daughter. Ruby just laughed and said "Hello Jack". It was hard for her to believe that three weeks ago they had been enemies but as the saying goes, opposites attract. Kim threw her arms up in surrender when she saw her mum take the peanut butter ice-cream out of her bag and put it into the freezer. She looked at Jack and he knew the drill. Ruby went back to the car to get other bags, Kim ran to freezer, and grabbed two spoons and ice-cream while Jack grabbed '10 Things I Hate About You' and they sprinted upstairs.

Jack had taken Kim out to the mall, where with the help of Joan and Rudy, he had decorated the entire area with fairy lights, a picnic blanket, margarita pizza and chocolate strawberries. Kim gasped in shock at the sight. She stumbled on her words and managed to choke out "For Me?" Jack looked up with flushed cheeks and nodded. A small tear cascaded down Kim's face. She sprinted into Jack's hugged him tightly. Jack had even set up his guitar. They sat down and started to sing 'Just wanna be with you' together. When the song was done they stood up and Kim squeezed Jack. Jack pulled away and said "Kim, would you be my girlfriend?" Kim looked at Jack then quickly jumped up and wrapped her legs around his torso, so she was his height. She nodded before leaning in and kissing him. Jack smiled through their first kiss knowing that there were many more kisses to come.

It was one week till the Seaford High Year 12 Prom and Jack and Kim were still going strong after four years. Of course Jack's date was Kim and Kim was starting to stress out. Kim hadn't eaten for three weeks, just lived of orange juice and sugar-free, zero-calorie gum. She thought no one had noticed but of course Jack had seen through the fake smiles, like always. One day at the dojo Kim was sparring with Jack, however she started to feel lightheaded, but didn't stop because her theory was 'No girls quit on guys'. So she continued, but Jack could see that his girlfriend was beginning to shake. So he grabbed Kim just before she made contact with the ground and rushed to hospital. Jack paced around the hospital until the doctor came out to give the diagnosis. "Jack, Kim hasn't eaten for weeks". Jack felt his heart drop to the ground, he knew something had been up but he thought he was just dreaming.

It was the night after Prom and Jack and Kim were settling into the realisation about what had just happened between them. Kim woke up first and decided that instead of facing Jack it would be better to just run. However Jack caught her and lifted her chin so that they locked eyes. Jack knew that they didn't have something because their eyes expressed all the emotion. Kim was feeling nervous and scared, and Jack knew that he just held her and let her cry until all the tears we gone.

Jack and Kim were yelling at each other about some girl grinding on Jack at a party. "You were letting her do it, idiot!" "What so when Brody was 'helping you learn pool', you weren't letting him do anything? Huh? How do you think I felt?!" Jack yelled back. Kim was sick of this fighting and she knew that Jack was feeling the same. She decided that she had to do something that would to make sure that they didn't damage their friendship that they had built up for 3 years. She knew that this was something neither of them wanted to do but they both didn't want to ruin everything they had. "Jack I think we need to break up, so that we don't take down our friendship when we break up this relationship, because I think we both know that is the way this is turning." Jack Just nodded, looking upset but understanding. "So friends?" Jack nodded before hugging her. "This is just as friends, right?" Jack nodded again and said "Yep." Kim smiled "Ok, just don't let go yet" Jack laughed "I wasn't going to"
2 weeks later
Jack and Kim had both moved on to different people, Donna and Jonah. But they knew who was the only person for them. Kim couldn't handle looking as Donna sat on Jack's lap, and Jack couldn't handle it when Jonah held Kim in ways that only he could. Kim was about to break up with Jonah because she knew he wasn't the one and he was becoming really clingy.
Present Day
Nessa and Kim arrived at Jack's house with Aladdin, popcorn and marshmallows. Jack smiled and hugged both girls, feeling the sparks emerge with Kim. They sat down on Jack's couch and put the DVD in. Half way through 'A Whole New World' Nessa was spread across both the adults. They looked at each other and laughed. "Do you want to change the movie?" Jack said. Kim smiled at him "sure". Jack moved off the couch to grab '10 Things I Hate About You'. Kim burst out laughing at the sight of the DVD. Jack pretended to not to know what she was laughing about "What Kimmy?" They laughed through the movie and by the ending Nessa had been moved to the opposite couch and Kim was asleep on Jack's lap.
Ruby walked into an empty house and found a note from Kim telling Ruby her location, time etc. She decided that it was probably best to just leave them for tonight.
