The next day at school Danny had came to visit the rest of the gang. When they saw her, they instantly accepted her into their group. Their welcoming was almost too friendly.
"Wow, you're really pretty," said Eddy.
Danny giggled, "and you're sweet," she replied.
"Why is it, that Jack knows all the pretty girls," Milton questioned.
"Hey, Danny, got any embarrassing stories about Jack from when you guys were kids," Jerry asked.
"Aw come on guys!" protested Jack.
As the boys got acquainted with Danny at their usual spot by the staircase. Kim was getting her things at her locker.
"Who's Jack's little friend, hey Kim?" Kim heard the unpleasant voice utter from behind her.
Kim turned to face the smirking Ashley and Zoey. Their hair had grown back since their wager and they hadn't dared to make anymore bets with her. "That's Danny, she's a friend from Jack's childhood when he trained in China, like you guys care," she replied.
"Ha ha! we don't," cackled Ashley.
"We just couldn't help but notice your boyfriend seemed really close with that girl over there," said Zoey.
"Yeah, well they grew up together and have been through a lot together." said Kim.
"Oh yeah, they've probably been through a lot together. a lot more than you have with Jack," said Zoey.
Kim was getting frustrated with talking with these two airheads. "Is there something you wanted to tell me, Zoey, besides coming over here to poke your nose into mine and Jack's business?"
"No, nothing to tell," Zoey said in that fake sweet tone, "just thought I'd point out to you how close Jack seems to be with his friend over there and…She's really pretty."
"way prettier than you!" said Ashley.
"She could have totally beaten you at prettiest girl, if she went to Seaford." said Zoey.
"Is that all you lunkheads ever care about? looks?" Kim said.
"Hey they get you places," said Zoey, flipping her hair.
"Well, clearly you guys are going no where," said Kim.
Zoey and Ashley gave her appalled looks and Kim just walked away to join her friends.
She sat herself beside Jack.
"what did Zoey and Ashley want?" asked Jack.
"ugh, they just wanted to know who Danny was," kim groaned, " they were are like 'ooh who's jack's pretty friend, kim?' " she imitated their annoying voices.
"See even Ashley and Zoey think you're pretty," said Eddy.
"Well I don't think it really matters to me if they think I'm pretty if they talk like that. Don't get along with those girls, huh Kim?" said Danny.
"No kidding," said Kim.
"Ha ha, yeah, I've gotten into my share of cat fights," said Danny.
"Oh this is more than a cat fight!" said Milton
"Yeah," said Jerry, "Kim got these girls to shave their heads last year and they still haven't forgiven her for that."
"Well it's kinda hard to forgive someone that shaved your head when you didn't want it to be shaved," said Danny, "but oh my gosh you shaved their heads?" she gave Kim a shocked look.
"I didn't shave their heads, they shaved it themselves. They just lost a bet to me so they HAD to shave their heads because of me." explained Kim.
Danny laughed, "nice" she said, and high-fived Kim. "So what was the bet?"
"Well first it was that I couldn't keep a boyfriend for a month," said Kim.
"well you've certainly proved them wrong, you've been with Jack for a year now!" replied Danny.
"Well that's the thing, I wasn't going out with Jack then and I was really nervous about finding a boyfriend for the month. So Milton came up with the idea to pretend I was dating someone for the month, so Jack and I pretended to date. Then Ashley and Zoey found out what were up to so they changed the bet. I then had to KISS Jack in front of everyone at the Homecoming Dance. and I couldn't tell the guys about it."
"So you kissed Jack and immediately fell in love with him?" Danny asked.
Kim shyly giggled, "Uh no, I kind of realized I was falling for Jack a bit before the Homecoming Dance."
"He made that good of a pretend boyfriend, huh?" said Danny.
"yeeeaahh…pretty much," said Kim looking at Jack. He smirked.
Danny smiled at the couple, "You guys have yourself a cute story," she said.
"Yeah but you left out the part where you guys kicked black dragon butt!" said Jerry.
"Again with the Black Dragons?" said Danny.
"Yeah, Zoey and Ashley decided to set seven Black Dragons on us after they realized Kim won the bet," said Jack.
"Wow they were that mad that they lost the bet." replied Danny.
"Well that and they thought the Black Dragons could rearrange my face to make it ugly enough so I wouldn't be dubbed 'prettiest girl' in Seaford High's yearbook."
"Is that how this whole thing started?" asked Danny, "because these girls were jealous of Kim?"
"Yeah, pretty much," they all said together.
"The green eyed monster makes you do crazy things." said Eddy.
