Um, awkward…
Hi guys.
I'm really sorry for not updating recently. Life's been pretty hectic plus I had sudden writer's block.
But now I'm up and ready to go. So here is Awkward – Chapter 4. (:
This chapter was suggested by i-miss-old-disney. :D Thank you for your suggestion! I changed the song you suggested, but it's basically a similar concept.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kickin' It or Since You've Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson.
What's more awkward? The fact that I'm alone with my ex for another day, or that there is a seventy percent chance for a relatable breakup song to begin playing on the radio?
The blonde stared at the window, watching as the trees zipped by in a horizontal blur. It was nothing but trees. Trees. Trees. Trees.
She was off on a short roadtrip with her Sensei for a competition. Naturally, Jack, who was better than her (she grudgingly had to admit), was coming along too. And of course, the other guys had to come a day later.
So it was just her, a wacky Sensei, and her ex, all together in her car.
With the 'Relationship Playlist' blaring from the radio.
What was more awkward – the fact she was stuck with Jack for the next day, or that there was a seventy percent chance for a relatable song to begin reverbrating from the speakers?
The latter - Since You've Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson had started.
Here's the thing/We started out friends.
She and Jack had started out friends. She felt the torn seats shift slightly, and she abstained from glancing over at the brunet.
It was cool/But it was all pretend.
Yeah – that was why she'd broken up with him in the first place, right?
It was all pretend.
But with a sinking feeling, Kim began to suspect that maybe her decision hadn't exactly been spot-on.
Had their relationship really been pretend?
Maybe.
Kim, unable to quell the swelling urge, tentatively cocked her head to have a clear sight at the brunet. Almost too late, his head moved to face the window, and the blonde had a small inkling he had been staring at her.
She cleared her throat, attempting to block out the rest of the breakup song.
"Damn, Kelly Clarkson! Rock them vocals! Since you've been gone!"
Great, so my coughing can't even block out Rudy's awful singing, thought the blonde. Much to her chagrin, her goofy Sensei had decided to unleash torture on everyone's ears with nothing but his singing voice.
Kim stared at him in horror, replicating an expression she often used when mentally ridiculing something. Rolling her eyes, she nearly forgot about the breakup and turned to Jack, a laugh on the verge of escaping her lips.
And she realized that Jack had been staring at her. She captured his gaze with a rather blank and confused stare, before he averted his eyes to face his lap.
She blinked, puzzlement clouding her mind, before she settled down back onto her initial position – arm supporting her head; eyes staring blankly out the window, watching the trees go by.
And I'm DONE.
Did you guys see that little hint I popped in there? It was all pretend. So, since many of you have been begging to know why they broke up, here's a hint. More will be revealed later. ;)
I'm pretty satisfied with this chapter, to be honest. (: Tell me what you think and drop a review! New update in a few days. Remember to suggest!
