Kim tried to act casual, "I was…uh… just…taking a walk?" she said.

"Have you been here this whole time?" accused Danny.

"Whaaaatttt…." said Kim.

"Kim, is that true? Have you been spying on us?" asked Jack.

"Yes," admitted Kim, she could never lie to Jack. instead she quickly tried to explain to him, "but it's not what you think! It's not because I'm some possessive, paranoid girlfriend! It's because I accidentally overheard some of the things Danny said to you about me after school and I wanted to know what else she would say about me behind me back."

"Danny, can you give us a sec?" asked Jack. He took Kim's hand and guided her away. "What does it matter to you what Danny says about you?" he asked Kim.

"She's you're best friend! I didn't want her making you think I was a bad girlfriend!"

"So you don't trust me to think for myself?"

"Jack, she's your best friend, obviously she can easily have some influence on you!"

"So what were you going to do when you heard her saying bad stuff about you?"

Kim stood silently. She didn't know what she would have done.

"Were you going to try to fight her or something?"

"Jack I would never! Is that what kind of person you think I am?"

"Hey don't make me start looking like the bad guy!"

"Jack don't listen to what Danny has told you about me! I'm not possessive! I'm not clingy! I don't care if you want to hang out with her, I get it that she's an old and good friend of your's and that you've probably missed her. But I don't think she likes me, in fact I think she hates me, judging by what she's said about me. But none of it's true! She doesn't know what she's talking about!"

"Are you saying that Danny is making up stuff about you to make you look bad? She's not that kind of girl Kim! She's not like other girls. She's really nice and really cool. She never got into any of that girls drama you guys have."

"That may have been the old Danny you used to know, but things change Jack! people change."

"Yeah, and it looks like you've changed too! Since when do you care so much about what others say about you? whether it's a lie or not. I thought that as long as you knew what was true you didn't care what others said."

"I don't care what people say about me! But Jack can't you see what's she's done? She's put this idea in your head that I'm some sort of hater!"

"I told you Kim, I can think for myself! But you're not helping convincing me that what Danny has said about you is wrong! So can you guess what I am thinking now?"

Kim stood silently and stared into Jack's eyes. She knew what was coming. She didn't want to hear it. She refused to believe it. She was slowly breaking apart inside.

"I think it's time for a break. This is all too much for me. All this drama crap. You know me, I can't stand that ridiculous stuff."

Kim stood there, just looking coldly at Jack. She refused to cry. She didn't want him to see her look weak and pathetic. So she said very bluntly, "Don't ever speak to me again." With that she tore off the bracelet he gave her, forced it into his hand and turned and left.

Not too far away was Ashley and Zoey, who were blended into the scenery. "That was a beautiful show," said Zoey.
