I got to the dojo and wrote down the message. I was pretty proud of this one. I managed to find five golden rings... in a way. It's rose gold, and just one ring. With five bands though! I figured that counts. Lucky for me, she loves rose gold. At least, that's what I can tell from some of the jewelry she wears.
I went to the other side of the window and placed the box on the ledge.
"What'd you get her today?" Milton asked me.
"I managed to find something close to five golden rings." I told him, walking over to my locker, starting to put some of my stuff from my bag in there.
"You got her five golden rings?" He asked in disbelief. I could hear it in his voice.
"I said close. One ring with five bands, rose gold, not entirely gold." I told him. "Do you really think I could afford five golden rings?" I asked him.
"Well, your grandfather is the man that trained Bobby Wasabi." He claimed.
"That doesn't make me rich. He say's I have to earn it." I tell him.
"Then how do you have any money?"
"Allowance." I tell him.
"That makes sense." I placed the box on the ledge. "Jack, I can't believe you found something that close to 'five golden rings'." He said, "I mean, what are the odds?"
"Jack got five golden rings for who?" Jerry asked, coming into the dojo.
"Nothing!" I said. At the same time, Milton had, just had to say, No one.
"Well that's not suspicious at all." Jerry said. "You guys are never going to guess what happened!"
"What happened?" Milton asked.
"You guys have to guess."
"Pepito came early." Milton guessed.
"Nope."
"You dropped your cell phone in the toilet." I said.
"No..."
"Grace asked you out."
"I wish."
"A racoon chased you home."
"Nope."
"A racoon chased you here."
"No."
"A parrot stole your cookies."
"Nu uh."
"It's gonna snow."
"Nope."
"Your aunt is visiting."
"Gladly, no."
"Grace asked you out."
"You already guessed that."
"Pepito's here."
"Guessed that too."
"I give up." Milton said.
"Same here." I agreed.
"I got a job!"
"Yeah right." I said.
"I've told you about lying Jerry." Milton told him.
"No seriously! I'm going to be Santa's elf!" He said proudly.
"Like last year?" I asked.
"Yeah, but without the whole evil santa thing." He said, "And is it seriously that hard to believe that I got a job?"
"Well, it is kind of abnormal..."
"Hey, I got the same job last year."
"Which Rudy made you get. Doesn't count."
"But what about that time I got a job as a rapping corn dog for Captain Corn Dogs?"
Milton shrugs, "That counts." He said.
Just as I slammed my locker shut after filling it with the things from my bag, Kim walks through the door.
"Hey guys," She said, walking over to the ledge where I placed the box.
"Hey," Milton and I both said.
"Kim, you're never going to guess what happened." Jerry said, filled with almost as much as excitement as when he told Milton and me the same thing.
"What?" She asked, reaching over to grab the box.
"You've got to guess." Jerry whined, probably tired of the overused answer.
"You got another pet lizard." She guessed, walking over to the bench.
"Nope."
"You're in a mariachi band."
"Never." Jerry said, eyes wide open.
"You're going to Mexico."
"No."
"You got chased by a raccoon."
"Why does everyone think that!?" He yelled to the ceiling, arms thrown up. "I got a job as Santa's elf." He said.
"But you had the same job last year..."
"And now I've got it again." He said, a goofy smile plastered on his face. I swear, he and that goofy guy from disney could be best friends. They do have the same smile.
"No way," I heard Kim say. I looked at Kim and she was on the bench with the box open in her hand. "'five golden rings'." She said, quoting the song. "I mean, the secret admirer wrote on the window about how he got something that resembled to the song, but five golden rings? What are the odds?" I heard a gasp and turned around to find Jerry with his eyes wide open.
"Jack-"
"You're right Jerry! I do need to show you that thing over by Phils!" I said, cutting Jerry off and grabbing his shoulder, pushing him out and myself out the door. Only now that we're outside with the cold do I realize I could have just took him to Rudy's office.
"You got five golden rings for Kim! You're Kim's secret admerer!" He exclaimed, pointing his index finger at me.
"Yea, I am." I said, knowing what was coming next.
"This is awesome! It took you long enough!" Okay, that's not exactly what I expected.
"Wait, what?"
"Oh come on Jack!" He exclaimed, "We all saw it coming."
"We?" He gasped.
"OH! I'm gonna go bet on this!" He exclaimed.
"Wait, Jerry!" I yelled at him before he ran off. "Don't tell anyone!" I tell him.
"Sure!" He said before running off.
I walk back into the dojo, escaping from the cold there was outside.
"Hey Jack, ready for our rematch?" Kim asked.
"Yup," I told her. "Ready to lose, Crawford?"
"In your dreams Brewer." She told me, a smirk on her face. "Hey wait," She said, "where's Jerry?"
"I don't know, something about a bet."
Tada! I liked that one. You guys are seriously the best! Like, really! So, um... review? Yeah, review. Don't have much to say besides that. Tell me what you'd like to see more of, Jerry's job, Rudy, comedy, what is it? I'm writing this last sentence to exceed 1000 words.
HOLD UP! I just got a review from summerlove4 and let me say thanks so much! I love reviews like this and it really means a lot so thanks so much!
