Hey guys! I'm so sorry that it's been forever since I last updated, I've been really busy with school and Taekwondo and I had a case of Writers Block, but all of your great reviews spurred me on, so keep it up please! I got a review saying I should put more drama, I'm going to try, but I'm really not dramatic, so it will take some getting use to. I'm a lot like Kim in this story kind of, just laid back and not materialistic. Haha! And if you guys can catch any innuendos I put in here from certain episodes, review or PM me the words or quoting that I used and which episode it's from, I'll give you a cyber cookie, I guess you can call it that! And review anyways, but my mom always told me, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. I except constructive criticism, but not criticism, you'll ruin my fragile ego. Haha. Okay, so… review!
DISCLAIMER: I wish I owned Kickin' it, but I don't, darnet.

I sighed and twirled my pencil in my hand as I stared up at the clock, waiting for lunch. I had no classes with any of the guys except for Spanish with Jerry this hour before lunch, and I was eager to eat and get to the end of the day where we all are lucky enough to have the last 3 classes together. I looked up at the clock once again as the teacher struggled to get the kids in my class under control. Jerry was the biggest problem, yelling things out in fluent Spanish and then asking the teacher what it meant. The kids in the class laughed at his "Joke", if only they knew he was dead serious.
Finally, I heard the obnoxious beep and I was out of my chair and through the door before any of the other kids could put their books away, I had already packed up 7 minutes before class ended, seriously, who keeps their books out in class when there is less than 10 minutes until the end? Not me. I heard Jerry rushing to catch up with me as I made a beeline for the cafeteria, hoping that at least I wouldn't have to wait in a long line for disgusting food, and just get it right away.
As I entered, I saw a figure already standing in line and I narrowed my eyes at them, also to keep the sun streaming from the window from burning my eyes. After they moved and I wasn't blind, I would have a serious talk with them about getting their food before me. You should know that I'm bluffing. I huffed and grabbed an apple from the fruit cart before making my way back over to the line, the kid should be almost done by now. I stood right behind him in line, but turned around to watch everybody else crowd into the cafeteria as I waited. I smiled and waved at Jack as he entered, strolling leisurely through the door, ignoring all of the girls swooning at him, it sickened me, but I was glad he didn't indulge in the fact that he's the hottest guy in school now. Probably also the most caring, deep, and funny guy in the school as well. Gosh, I need to get my thoughts under control.
I shook myself from my daze as he approached, he smiled charmingly at me, showing his white, straight teeth and opened his mouth to greet me, but it was a different voice that I heard greet me instead.
"Woah! Kim, babe, you look hot," I heard from behind me, breath breathing down my neck.
I gave a little shriek, dropped my apple and spun around to throw a punch at the jerk who said that, only to find Ricky Weaver leering behind me as he caught my clumsy punch. Ricky is a black belt at the Black Dragon dojo and also Donna's ex from Freshman year that asked me out and I denied, he's been harassing me ever since.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jack catch my apple with his foot and bump it up into his hand and take a bight as he watched me get ready to kick this loser's butt. I was still better at Karate than Ricky.
I narrowed my eyes and pulled my hand away, only to push kick him right back into the counter. That was the intention, anyway, he must've improved since last time, because I think he actually blocked my kick.
My eyes widened in surprise and I lost my focus for just a second, that was enough for him though, for he pushed me away and front kicked me, which I managed to block, but he quickly came back with a roundhouse kick. I leaned backwards to avoid it hitting my face and stumbled a little from bending back. I livid now, this kid harasses me and now he's beating me at my own defense attack, not in my house! I gave a shrieking Kiah and straightened out, easily blocking his punch and grabbing his arm as I kicked him in the gut, just enough to make him bend over before I grabbed his arm and got ready to throw him, "Have a nice flight, Ricky," I said with a sickly sweet voice before finishing my throw, making him land in the fruit bar. Marge, the lunch lady just laughed and clapped her hands as everybody else shrieked.
I felt pretty good, but unfortunately, the other Black Dragons had to come and back him up, four of them to be exact. I could probably take them, but not without getting injured myself. It was too late to think anymore, for Frank came at me with a punch which I blocked, but he followed it up by other attacks, and once I finally knocked him off balance, I was kicked in the back of my knee by another one, forcing me to the ground, he was about to go for a punch and I closed my eyes, waiting for the pain, but after a second when nothing came, I looked up to see that Jack had stopped the guy half punch.
"You probably shouldn't have done that," He informed them and I smiled at his witty phrase. My smile faded, however, when he started fighting them. It looked like he was going to win now but, I didn't think even he could take four Black Dragons by himself. I started to stand up to help but stumbled and fell again. I gasped at the stiff pain and looked at my knee that had been kicked to the ground. It was purple and starting to swell. I had a mini heart attack as I tried to stretch it out straight and found immense pain in that motion. All the kids were under tables watching the fight go on, so I knew that none of them saw that I was hurt, but I was okay with that, I didn't like to be fussed over.
I breathed in and out slowly, repeatedly and got slightly dizzy as I tried again to force through the pain and straightened out my leg, then at least I could assess it better. I heard a slight popping sound and I gasped a bit louder at the pain as my leg straightened out. I sighed in relief, however, once it was straight. It hurt immensely still, but a least I was moving it anymore. I examined it, I didn't think it was broken, I would be in a lot more pain, but it definitely wasn't alright. I pressed on a purple area in curiosity and flinched, then watched as the white spot the pressure from my finger created morphed back into the purple-ish blue of a bruise.
I breathed deeply again and swallowed thickly as I felt the pain come in a new wave, even when I wasn't touching it. The pain didn't make me want to cry, it made my eyes water, but not cry, it just was making me lose my breath and become light headed.
I looked up slowly for the first time at the fight that I was so sure that Jack would be losing. I was surprised when I saw him throw one of the Black Dragons into the trash can head first before he easily jumped back up and kicked three meat balls into Frank's face.
They all fled the scene as everybody got up from their covers. Jack smiled, pleased and looked around the cafeteria. He cringed at the destroyed scene, but then his eyes landed on my and my pulsing knee and his eyes filled with worry as he rushed over to me.
"Kim, what happened, are you okay! Can you walk? Is it broken?" He asked as his hands hovered over my knee, like he wasn't sure if he should touch it or not.
"I'm a big girl, Jack, I can take a fall on the knee," I smiled, but I'm sure it came out more as a grimace. I then cringed at the unexpected wave of pain I experienced.
Jack shook his head, "We need to get you to the hospital," He leaned down to pick me up bridal style, but I quickly pushed away his hands.
He looked at me like I was crazy, "I can walk, I don't need to go to the hospital."
Jack looked doubtful but saw in my eyes that I didn't want to be babied and he slowly stood up, offering just his hand to me like he would anybody else, his eyes still full of worry. I breathed deeply again and got a firm grip on his hand, making sure my hair curtained my face so that nobody could see the excruciating pain I was experiencing that I knew was showing on my face.
I bit my lip hard to keep back my whimper as I bent my knee slightly as required to stand from the ground.
I held onto Jack's hand a moment longer, giving it a squeeze like reassurance while I actually used it to steady myself. I let go and straightened up like I was fine. I took a deep breath before I took a step and immediately collapsed as my leg gave out. Jack was there in an instant and caught me before I hit the ground.
I looked up at his face and he smirked, worry still evident on his face, "I think it's time you see a doctor."
As much as I didn't want to, I nodded reluctantly and gave a tired smile that turned to a wince as another wave of pain washed over, "Maybe…"
Jack knew that that was my way of saying yes and he swept me into his arms, I didn't object out loud this time. I just stiffly wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned away slightly, not sure if he was very comfortable holding me.
I looked over as we passed Eddie, Jerry, and Milton and saw that they looked worried as well, I narrowed my eyes at them, they knew that I hated pitty. They quickly sobered up, but I knew they were still worried and honestly, I was touched that they cared about me like their own sister so much.
Jack looked over at them, "Someone call Rudy quickly, I'll be waiting with Kim outside."
I was happy that he was considerate enough to take me away from the curious eyes of the students around us. I blushed as I realized just how many students were staring and I ducked my head.
I kept like that as I swayed in Jack's arms as he walked outside. I closed my eyes and as soon as the warm sun hit my face, I leaned my head peacefully against his chest and relaxed my body as I listened to his beating heart. I thought I heard it speed up a bit, but that was probably just my imagination as I drifted into a dream where there was no pain from people, and most importantly, no pain from my freaking knee!
Okay! I think that was a pretty good update if I do say so myself. We got drama in there now and I'm pretty happy about the details about feelings and stuff. I would like to write more right now, but unfortunately, my laptop is old and is overheating on my lap and making it unbearably hot. Darn. I do know exactly what Kim is going through, though. I live right by a park and about two years ago, during summer, my next door neighbor and I went to the park. We met a couple of her friends there and we all hung out. It got dark and we were playing tag on the playground. For some reason, the softball field lights went off and so it was really dark. I don't see very well in the dark and I just so happened to be "it". I heard my friend laugh and I started running as fast as I could for her, going faster than I usually do, of course I would run smack into the metal balance beam. I went over it and fell. It hurt soooo much! I was like screaming silently, but not crying. My friend was laughing because she didn't know I was in pain and just thought we would continue. She figured it out a couple minutes later. But yeah, I had to stretch it out like Kim did and then I could barely walk. We had ridden our bikes to the park, so was expecting us to leave right away and nobody was home at my house. So I waited a little for her, but she was flirting with the guys so I rode my bike home using one leg. I got home and she came after and we iced it and I could bend it at all, it was stuck straight. A few days later my mom took me to the hospital when I was having a lot of trouble walking. I don't remember exactly what I had, but it took more than a year to heal completely and I still have stiffness in my joints sometimes. That was a long authors note and I'm sure most of you didn't read it, I just felt like sharing. Anyways, if you caught any innuendos from episodes in my story, previous chapters included, review or PM me which quote or line I used, and the episode it was from. I'll give you Cyber cookies! If you didn't catch them, just review anyways! Please!
