Hello guys! Thank you for all your awesome suggestions and reviews! More chapters coming up soon; in the meantime, sit back and enjoy this little chapter which may seem cliché, but it was undoubtedly necessary in a story like this.
I also received some constructive criticism that some of you might get confused when I lapse into an all-dialogue segment, where I don't put "Jack said" or "Kim murmured" or stuff like that. I'll try to refrain from doing that from now on, okay? :) Thanks for the feedback!

There's nothing more awkward than spying on your ex flirting with another guy and getting caught.
From behind his locker, Jack had a clear assessment of the situation. To put it in simple terms, Kim was flirting with a boy from the football team, and this equated to a very jealous and very angry Jack.
Who does she think she is? the brunet fumed inwardly. We've been broken up for only a month and she's already going around trying to woo other guys.
Jack harrumphed in frustration, tempted to send a painful kick towards the already-shabby lockers, but managed to abstain from doing so to avoid attracting attention. Instead; he peered around the locker again, listening intently.
"So, maybe you'd like to get a froyo sometime? I heard of this hot new froyo shop that opened at the mall – we could go check it out," the mystery man suggested shyly.
Jack couldn't see Kim's expression, but he did hear her silly laugh followed by an eager, "Okay!" The laugh and the 'okay' had been repeated way too many times when it came to boys, in Jack's opinion. Of course, all those relationships hadn't lasted, and had only been shallow, one-sided attractions that ended in a fight and a word of comfort.
From Jack.
When will Kim learn?
"Cool," Kim's date commented, looking rather pleased with himself. "Um, so, I'll catch ya tomorrow."
"Sure," came Kim's dreamy, silky voice, which sighed in contentment as the boy walked away. Before Jack knew it, the blonde had turned around, her golden tresses whipping wildly as she intended to open her locker.
And of course, Jack's locker just had to be only two doors away from hers.
"Jack?"
"Oh, hey Kim," the brunet greeted her as casually as he could. He randomly shoved a book into his locker. "Uh, just preparing for next period."
Kim headed over, leaning to peer inside his pigsty of a locker. "Jack, it's Chemistry next. You've just put your Chemistry textbook inside."
"Oh, uh…" Jack pulled the book out, grinning sheepishly. "Silly me – well anyway gotta go!" He shut his locker, turning on his heel in an attempt to make a quick getaway. You know what they say when you've been caught – try to avoid interrogation at all costs.
"Wait, Jack…. What's going on?"
"Nothing." The brunet winced as his voice cracked an octave higher as he said this. The blonde crossed her arms, a look of suspicion and impatience crossing her face.
"Jack… were you spying on me?"
"Pssh – no,"
"Yeah, and that just has a big fat "Yes Kim, I DID spy on you! You know why?" – wait actually I don't know why."
Jack shrugged. "I don't know."
Kim groaned. "Fine, you don't know. But I know. And once again Jack, we're just friends. I have full right to start seeing other people." The blonde then stalked off in a huff, her boots clacking against the marble floor in an impatient rhythm.
No you don't, came Jack's mental reply.
Okay, and there's Chapter THREE! I've come to realize I'm much better at writing one-shots instead of multi-chaps… I'm hopeless at those, because I always lose inspiration and ditch it.
Anyway, I'm not sure if this chapter captured much of the 'awkward' essence, but I'm fairly satisfied with it as a one-shot, so hopefully you guys would look past the fact that it's not entirely awkward. :) (But of course, I understand if you don't)
Okay, look forward to more chapters :) And remember –
REVIEW AND SUGGEST! :D
