Chapter 4: The Lock In and Blackstar.
Today was Friday the day of the lock in for Freshman Class. In homeroom all the Freshman were happily chatting away about the big lock in that would be happening tonight. Everyone was so excited about it except for a certain honey blonde headed girl who was trying to keep her eyes open and keep her head from falling on top of the desk. Kim was a tired mess she hadn't been able to go to sleep for two days and the reason for that was Jack Anderson.
For two nights Kim had been tossing and turning in her bed trying to get some sleep but she couldn't because of the kiss Jack gave her a day ago in detention. For two nights straight all she did was think about her feelings she had for Jack, and the kiss. Her lips were still tingling, she had done everything to get rid of the feeling, brushing her lips a million times, trying multiple lip glosses that she never usually touched; but she still couldn't get the feeling away from her lips.
What she hated the most was how confused she was about her feelings towards Jack. Her mind said she didn't like Jack but her heart said the opposite. Kim was officially utterly confused and hated hormones with a passion.
Kim's head was about to hit the hard wooden desk but she caught herself once Roxy busted through the homeroom doors with a worried and nervous expression on her face distracting Kim from her need to sleep. Roxy then snapped her head towards Kim and ran over to her frantically.
Roxy started to shake Kim's shoulders saying, "Kim! Have you seen my iPhone! Please! Please! Please! Tell me you've seen it!
Kim's head was now throbbing ur controllable from the lack of sleep and being shaken by her shoulders with her blonde hair whipping her face back and forth.
Kim snapped, "ROXY STOP SHAKING ME NOW!"
Roxy immediately stopped shaking Kim being suddenly frightened by the tone of voice, the tired and furious honey blonde headed girl used. Roxy thought she saw fire in the angry girl's eyes flash for a second.
Once Kim saw Roxy's expression she sighed and took a few minutes to calm herself.
Kim said calmly, "Sorry I snapped at you like that I'm just really tired."
Roxy smiled at her and said kindly, "It's cool we all have those days and I still need to apologize to Milton for being a jerk to him and you guys."
Kim then asked slightly confused, "I understand apologizing to Milton but why us too?"
Roxy answered, "Well I just thought I was being a jerk to you guys so I would have apologized yesterday but I didn't feel like coming because of the day before with well... Donna."
Kim nodded her head in understanding.
Roxy then asked suddenly a frantic look crossing her face, "So have you seen my iPhone, I think it fell out of my bag and I can't find it anywhere!"
Kim then realizing it answered, "Oh yeah Wednesday when Jack and I came out of detention we found it lying on the floor Jack took it home with him to keep it safe." Kim thought: 'No he took it home cause he knew I would go through it.'
Roxy looked relieved and sighed, "Oh my gosh thank the Lord! My uh...dad would have killed me if I lost it."
Kim cocked an eyebrow at her and thought: 'why does she sound soo...uncertain?'
Roxy caught the look Kim had on her face and asked, "What?"
Kim replied, "Oh nothing I was just thinking about something."
Roxy nodded her head her waves bumping up and down.
They both then just sat there in an awkward silence before Roxy broke it asking, "So why are you so tired?"
Kim replied cautiously, "Oh...uh...because I uh...just couldn't really sleep well the uh for two nights."
Roxy smirked at her and said, "You really are a bad liar, Kim."
Kim muttered irritated, "Look who's talking."
Roxy slightly confused asked, "What you say?"
Kim answered tiredly, "Nothing."
Roxy looked at her confused and thought: 'What's up with her?"
Jack then came walking into homeroom taking a seat behind Kim in his usual skater boy attire.
Roxy seeing Jack sit down exclaimed, "Jack please give me my phone!"
Jack looked taken back and slightly confused by Roxy until he realized what she meant.
He said, "Oh right here,"as he handed her the purple iPhone from his backpack.
Roxy snatched it quickly away from his hand as a big grin came across her face she exclaimed, "Thanks so much Jack and Kim you guys are my saviors !"
Jack said, "No problem."
His tired honey blonde headed friend didn't respond since she let sleep get to her. She was currently laying her head down on the desk peacefully sleeping. Jack looked at his sleeping friend and shot a confused look towards Roxy.
Roxy shrugged and said, "She told me she hasn't slept for two nights. Looks like sleep won over her."
Jack exclaimed concerned about his sleeping friend, "What, something must be wrong with her; that isn't usually like her!"
Roxy thought: 'Wow this kid is either really overprotective or he has a big crush on Kim. If he knew what I did in my life he would lock me up somewhere. Ha it's not like he could if he tried.'
Roxy then said,"I don't know Jack wake her up and see what the problem is, she wouldn't tell me before."
Jack smirked at the honey blonde headed girl who was sleeping on the desk he commented, "Yeah but Roxy you don't have moves like me."
Roxy rolled her eyes at his comment and retorted, "Yeah whatever pretty boy."
Jack looked up at her with a cocky smile and said," Looks like I got two blondes crushing on me, now!"
Roxy retorted,"Yeah in your dreams pretty boy now will you shut up and wake up your sleeping beauty with a kiss already."
Jack looked at the petite girl in front of him dumbfounded.
Roxy smirked and said, "Jerry told me what happened in detention when I was gone, but I didn't believe him until the look on your face you have on now."
Jack shook his head and muttered, "Man I'm gonna kill Jerry!"
Roxy smirked and said, "C'mon prince charming wake up sleeping beauty."
Jack glared at the wavy haired girl and said, "Your really enjoying this aren't you?"
Roxy thought: 'Well I've had a hard enough life I think it's time for me to have some fun.'
Roxy said, "You have no idea pretty boy. No idea."
Jack glared at her as he got up from his desk.
Roxy just smirked in return.
Jack went up to Kim trying to shake her awake saying playful with a smile, "Wake up sleeping beauty! Wake up! You don't need any more beauty sleep you look beautiful enough!"
During this Roxy was trying to hold back laughter by putting her hand over her mouth. Roxy thought: 'Wow he so cheesy it's cute. He definitely has a thing for Kim. To bad he's to blind to see it.'
Roxy kept watching as Jack was trying to shake his sleeping friend awake saying sweet words to her.
Then Kim suddenly mumbled in her sleep, "Jack."
Roxy smirked and said, "Looks like she's dreaming about you pretty boy."
She then took out her leather bound black book and started to write in it quickly getting lost in her own world. Jack glared at her wondering what she writes in that book. He thought: 'If it's not a diary then what is it?'
Jack completely forgetting about the sleeping girl he was trying to wake starred at Roxy as she wrote in her leather bound black book in deep thought. All he could think about was all the strange things that have happened since Roxy came to San Jose. The lying, uncertainty, having great reflexes with no training at all, running out of the Dojo frantically after a beeping noise from her phone went off, Donna being attacked at the mall right after Roxy left the Dojo, Roxy acting weird about the tape of the attack at the mall from the security cameras, the weird conversations and text messages. Now that Jack's thought about all these different things he realizes that him and the Wasabi Warriors really don't even know anything about her, where she came from or anything about her family.
Jack was instantly snapped out of his thoughts by Roxy slapping him across the face. Jack looked at her in shock not expecting to get slapped at all today or well...any day. Roxy smirked and said, "You know it's not polite to stare at a girl that long pretty boy."
Jack stuttered, "W-Whhatt no...I-I w-wasn't starring I was in deep thought."
Roxy was now standing in front of the brunette skater with her arms crossed over her chest cocking an eyebrow at him.
Jack looked down from the petite girl that was standing in front of him to stare down at his black Vans.
Roxy still starring down at the brunette sitting in front of her asked, "What were you thinking about?"
Jack looked up at the expecting blonde in front of him and said, "Uh...you know um..guy stuff.?"
Roxy raised her eyebrows at him and said, "Don't worry Jack I won't tell your sleeping beauty you were checking me out."
Jack said sarcastically while rolling his eyes, "Ha ha cute."
"Oh I know," Roxy said this while twirling one of her wavy strands around her finger taking her seat next to the sleeping Kim again.
Jack glared at her and went back to shaking Kim. Jack thought: 'Wow she must have not of slept at all if she can't wake up from me shaking her.'
As Roxy saw Jack's concentration go back to waking up his sleeping beauty she went back to writing in her leather bound black book.
1/13/12 Entry
Man, every single day I write in this thing but I don't understand why? I mean sure I'm a girl believe it or not but that doesn't mean I need to wear loads of makeup or designer clothes or write in this stupid thing called a diary or journal whatever. I know, I know I'm complaining and all when I can stop writing in this anytime-but this is the only thing that will keep sane, or I'll breakdown like I did in detention. I knew I would regret not writing in this thing at all during that day, but oh well...at least it wasn't in front of the whole school that would've been torture.
Anyway, back to my crazy frustrating life. When I finally got half way to the forest on Wednesday, after I left detention; I went inside my backpack to find my of course new iPhone missing but the stupid red razr phone still in my backpack. The whole way to well...I guess you can call where I live my temporary home I was cursing the Black Warriors because I thought they somehow got into my bag and stole my iPhone instead of the crappy red razr phone they gave me when I joined them the first day. And this made me wonder how they always found where I was these past 3 years...even I remember when I snuck out to the movies with Jake when I was 10 years old we took 2 taxis and an empty bus ride to get there but it was totally worth it. We had the best time we saw Happy Feet since we were too young to see the horror and action movies and neither of us wanted to see a chic flick. I mean I may be a tomboy but I am still a girl and chic flicks are cool sometimes but well...not my thing. We had a great time I remember laughing so much not that the movie was funny but because of the jokes Jake made. I remember his sparkling green eyes that always made me smile and how he tried to kiss me for fun but me being smart shoved popcorn in his face before he could. That was probably the best time I ever had in my life. But then right after the movie was over and we walked out we came face to face with well our 'siblings' from the Black Warriors. When I saw they're furious faces I mean Father was even there with them! That meant he was furious and Jake and I were sure gonna get it when we got back to the Dojo.
Jake had a look on his face as he starred at the warriors in front of him saying he was scared for his life. I wasn't scared at all. I was just upset our good night had to end so soon. As I was being dragged away by Teo and Jake was being dragged away by Father who was cursing at him quietly; I saw a group of kids who looked no older than 13 laughing, talking, and one girl and boy in the group were holding hands. That's what I realized that life of being a black warrior wasn't what I wanted I wanted to be a normal girl who went to school with friends and hung out not being locked up in some sort of prison Dojo. Now back to the thing about the red razr phone I finally realized after carrying that thing around for 3 years that it had been tracking me the whole time. So I threw it on the road smashed it and threw it in a lake near by...but too bad the warriors have found me. I just wish one day this thing could be over and I could live my life like a nor-
A loud BAM hit Roxy's desk right then and she shot up in the air dropping her...diary. Roxy jumped on top of the desk into a fighting stance. She then looked around the room realizing it was empty and that everyone had left. Roxy looked around confused and then looked down in front of her to see Jack looking at her weirdly.
Roxy asked, "What," noticing Jack had made the loud noise by slamming a random textbook on her desk.
Jack shook his head and said, "Nothing um...homeroom is over but you were too deep in writing in your diary to notice the bell rang. And uh...are you gonna get down?"
Roxy then blushed noticing she was still in her fighting stance on top of the desk and quickly jumped off landing in front of Jack. Jack was still looking at her weirdly and said, "Okay well we're probably are going to end up being late for 1st period since I can't get sleeping beauty over here to wake up, " he said while pointing his thumb behind his back towards Kim still sleeping on the desk. Roxy starring at the sleeping Kim smirked and said, "Why don't you kiss her prince charming that would wake her up?"
Jack glared at her with his chocolate brown eyes and said, "Maybe when you admit you write in a diary I will."
Roxy glared her piercing blue eyes at Jack and this scared him a little noticing how her eyes seem to go right through his soul like burning fire.
Roxy retorted, "Whatever I still need to go apologize to Milton. Why wasn't he in homeroom anyway?"
Jack rolled his eyes and said lamely, "He goes to the library during homeroom since our homeroom teacher doesn't care what we do; he says the books 'understand' him," he said this while putting air quotes over the word understand.
Roxy chuckled and said, "Well I better go catch him before he hates me forever or starts reading depressing books, "as she walked out of the room.
She then popped her head back into the room and said, "Oh Jack you better not tell anyone I have a diary...or I'll hunt you down, boy."
Jack smirked and said, "Well I know karate."
Roxy smirked and said, "Well I know a skater boy who has his eyes on sleeping beauty; I bet the guys would love to hear about that."
Jack blushed nervously trying to act confident, "What diary?"
The petite girl smirked at the skater boy's reaction in triumphant and said, "What sleeping beauty?"
They both then smiled at each other knowing that they have formed a bond of trust between each other, but Jack still has his suspicions about Roxy. Roxy then quickly popped her head full of waves of blonde out of the room and ran down the hall on her mission to apologize to Milton leaving Jack in the empty room with the still Sleeping Beauty.
Jack sighed and said, "Looks like I'm gonna have to carry Sleeping Beauty to the nurse."
He then tried to gently pick up the honey blonde headed girl who was still sleeping in the desk when suddenly she wearily woke up to the feeling of warm protective warms around her body she looked over her shoulder to find Jack being the one with the warm arms around her.
Kim looking at him quizzically yawned and asked, "Jack why are you're strong arms around my body?"
Jack hearing Kim's voice let go of her body he said, "Wow, Kim you really haven't slept at all if you're calling me strong."
Kim rolled her eyes and noticed that the room was empty except for her and Jack.
Kim asked slightly confused, "Where is everyone?"
The bell then rang and right after Jack said simply, "Now 1st period."
Kim's deep brown eyes widened realizing she was late so she literally jumped out of her desk to grab her backpack from the floor.
Jack saw her action and exclaimed with concern, "Kim! Calm down I was gonna carry you to the nurse anyway,"as he grabbed Kim by the waist to stop her from running to 1st period.
Kim snapped,"Jack let go of me, or I'll break you!"
Jack rolled his eyes at the moody, sleepy blonde and said, "You don't scare me Kim that only works on the guys."
Kim pouted and said, "Fine I'm way too exhausted to fight with you anyway."
Jack looked at Kim in shock and said, "Wow, I never thought the day would come that Kim Crawford would give up a fight."
Kim snapped furiously, "Shut up, Jack!"
Jack let go of her waist putting his hands up in surrender and said, "Geez alright sorry, man you're cranky."
Kim looked at Jack seeing concern and hurt in his eyes. She knew he was just trying to help her sleepy and moody self. Kim sighed and said,"Sorry, Jack I know your just trying to help I just haven't slept well; come on walk me to the nurse?" She said the last part while giving Jack a big smile. Jack couldn't help but smile back he said,"Yeah I'm already late anyway."
Jack and Kim both left the classroom together to make their way towards the nurses' office. The blonde and brunette walked in an awkward silence for a few minutes. Jack broke the silence saying, "So Kim I've been thinking at lunch we should get to know more about Roxy and her life because well we really don't know anything about her at all." Jack then looked at the blonde who was thinking deeply about his words. She finally looked up at him with her beautiful tired brown eyes and said, "Yeah we should, but let's worry about that later I really need sleep and are we almost to the nurse; my legs are getting tired."
Jack said,"I could carry you Sleeping Bea-I mean Kim."
Kim looked at Jack weirdly cocking an eyebrow and asked,"Sleeping what?"
Jack looked down at his black Vans to hide his embarrassed face as he mumbled,"Uh nothing. So do you want me to carry you there or not?"
Kim looked at the brunette who still had his head down towards the floor slightly confused but just shrugged it off.
She answered, "No but a thanks...for the offer I guess..."
Kim thought: 'Why would he even ask that's so weird. I mean he's my friend and all but...he's been acting a little strange...ever since he kissed me...so he acts strange and I get no sleep? How is that fair universe...?'
Kim was immediately knocked out of her thoughts when she felt a warm and strong hand slip into hers. She looked up to find Jack being the one to have his hand in hers literally dragging her down the hall. Kim thought: 'Oh, wow real smooth Crawford I must have been so lost in my own thoughts that I stopped walking and now Jack is dragging me down the hallway with his strong hand in mine. I don't get it why do I feel so protected with Jack like this...I also think I feel some...love...what no.'
Kim instantly shook herself not wanting to think of the subject that left her up for two nights straight.
She then noticed how the warmness from Jack's hand was gone she looked down to find he had slipped his strong hand out of hers now that they were standing in front of the nurses' office. Kim sighed feeling the soreness in her legs again and mumbled,"Ugh...the nurses' office had to be on the other side of school didn't it."
Jack chuckled at the honey blonde headed girl's remark as he opened the door to the nurses' office. The office was all white with off-white cabinets across the wall holding medication, swabs, and who knows what else. There were two beds in the office and the nurses' desk was on the right side of the room filled with binders with information on students, a Mac laptop, and a glass of cough drops.
The nurse was sitting at the desk deeply writing in one of the binders. She wore red glasses, had a messy bun up in her brown hair, she was wearing a nurse suit and she was wearing more make up then even Donna Tobin which well...scared both Kim and Jack. It looked like a crayon exploded on her face; she had on dark blue eye shadow up until her eyebrow, a pound of eyeliner and mascara on like she was a frigg'in raccoon, and the blush was so bright it looked like she was a tomato.
Jack snickered while trying to hide his smile, "Looks like someone has some self-esteem issues."
Kim giggled and said, "Yeah or they got into their mothers makeup."
Kim and Jack snickered quietly at the nurse who hadn't even noticed they had come into the office.
Jack snickered, "Don't you mean they got into their crayon box."
This made Kim snort loudly since she was trying to hold in her laughter. At Kim's snort the nurse looked up and glared deadly at the two teens standing in front of her desk. Kim was blushing like a tomato, while Jack looked like he was about to die from holding in his laughter. The nurse snapped examining the teens already judging them, "Aren't you two suppose to be in 1st period?"
Kim thought as she rolled her eyes: 'Oh great a mean nurse this will be fun. What happened to the nice nurse who told me if Roxy came there on Wednesday?'
Jack spoke up, "A yeah but I was just taking my friend Kim here because she hasn't slept well lately and uh yeah."
The nurse just glared at Jack and snapped, "Okay...so she's not sick. I can't help that your little girlfriend here stays up all night rereading the Twilight series...so go to 1st period kiddies. And no I will not write you a pass!"
Kim shouted angrily at the nurse before Jack even got his thoughts together about what the nurse just said,"First of all whatever the heck your name is I don't read Twilight, I only see the movies because Taylor Lautner is in them! 2nd of all I am not his frigg'in girlfriend and 3rd of all you will let me stay here as long as I want to catch up on my sleep and you will write Jack a pass!"
The nurse and Jack both looked at the angry blonde's outburst in shock. The nurse said calmly,"Okay honey there is no need to get worked up please go lie down on one of the beds and get as much beauty sleep as you need and I will write your boyf-I mean your friend a pass okay."
Kim sighed and sweetly said,"Okay," with a big smile on her face. She then walked over to one of the beds and made herself as comfortable as possible knowing she would be here for a while.
The nurse shook her head as she got out a pass from her desk and said,"Girls and there mood swings."
Jack catching this chuckled and said,"Yeah I know."
Kim hearing this said,"Jack you know I'm not a sleep yet right."
Jack said quickly, "Uh right. Well I better go," he quickly took the pass the nurse wrote and ran out of the room. Kim rolled her eyes as she heard the door close and fell into a deep sleep.
Lunchtime...
Roxy was at her locker putting her books away while trying to teach Eddie a lesson on girls.
Roxy said, "Eddie no girl likes players and if they do their living a sad life."
As Roxy said this Jack leaned against the locker next hers waiting to head off to lunch.
Eddie exclaimed, "Well how else am I suppose to be cool?"
Roxy said,"Being or pretending to be a player isn't cool it's called being a jerk, "as she put her math binder away.
Eddie frowned and said,"Well how else am I suppose to be cool? I'm not Jack. "
Jack listening to their conversation so far said,"Wait...What."
Roxy rolled her eyes at the confused 'playah' and said, "Eddie you don't need to be Jack to be cool, you just need to be yourself."
Jack said again, "What?"
Eddie said, "Yeah right you'd probably love to get a kiss with Jack."
Jack said, "Hello!"
To Eddie's surprise Roxy had no emotion cross her face by his comment but bored piercing blue eyes looking into the locker mirror as she fixed her eyeliner.
Roxy finally said still doing her eyeliner,"You know I use to like a guy like Jack but well people change."
Eddie asked slightly confused,"What do you mean?"
Roxy finished fixing her eyeliner threw the pen into her backpack and slammed her locker door. She looked at Eddie starring at him with her piercing blue eyes deeply in thought. Eddie was starting to feel a little uncomfortable under Roxy's stare it seemed like her eyes were so piercing that they could just make him vaporize with one look. Eddie shook himself from that thought.
Roxy finally answered, "Uh nothing the point is Eddie as long as you have friends in your life you'll always be cool. And one day you'll find a girl who will like you for you."
Eddie smiled at the petite girl and said, "Thanks."
Roxy just smiled back. Jack saw this to him it wasn't the usual natural smile it was more of a smile someone would put on if they were hiding some sort of emotion. Jack looked into her piercing blue eyes, thinking he saw them flash with pain but just shrugged deciding that it would be better to try to understand her than read her face.
Jack spoke up, "Uh guys I'm gonna go check on Kim at the nurse."
Eddie and Roxy mumbled, "Alright". As Jack was about to head to the nurse he stopped noticing that Jerry and Milton were arguing over something. Jack rolled his eyes and looked at Roxy who was also watching the two argue. Jack asked,"Roxy, will you please make sure Jerry doesn't try to hurt Milton."
Roxy smirked playfully at the two boys still arguing she cracked her knuckles saying,"Of course, I would love too."
Jack chuckled at the petite girl's way to look threatening and headed to the nurse. When he finally stepped into the room he didn't see the mean nurse that looked like a crayon exploded on her face anywhere inside. He rolled his eyes and thought: 'Lunch Break.'
Jack quietly walked over and sat down on the bed his Sleeping Beauty was currently sleeping on. He looked over at her and thought: 'Wow she looks so peaceful when she's asleep maybe I should just let her sleep.'
Jack nodded his head deciding to let his Sleeping Beauty get more rest and that she might not be so pretty if he woke her. Jack then gently pulled the bed cover more over her body making sure she wouldn't stir and not knowing why he did this but he kissed her gently on the forehead hoping she wouldn't wake. To Jacks surprise a smile grew on her face while she was sleeping. Jack thought: 'Wow she's beau-what! What's wrong with me?' Jack shook his head at his thoughts and quickly left the nurses' office quietly closing the door behind him. He then quickly ran down the hall not wanting to make his friends wait too long for lunch.
To Jack's surprise when he finally came to where his friends were standing waiting for him they were now the only kids left in the hall. Eddie was sitting against Roxy's locker watching Jerry and Milton argue. Jack thought: 'I wonder where Roxy went. Maybe the guys know.' He swiftly walked towards Jerry and Milton.
Milton yelled,"Jerry! For the last time there is nooooo such thing as the tooth-"
That's when Jerry went off with his 'Indian War Chant', that sounded a lot like a girl scream.
Milton rolled his eyes while putting his hands to his ears.
Jerry finally stopped his war chant and started to yell at Milton again. Jack stood between the two and shouted, "Would you two just shut the heck up!"
Jerry and Milton immediately closed their mouths not wanting to get the wrath from a black belt.
Jack sighed and asked, "Where'd Roxy go?"
Jerry responded, "Oh her phone started beeping and she ran off saying it was her dad."
A suspicious look came across Jack's face and he asked, "Are you sure Jerry?"
Jerry confusedly said, "I don't know am I?"
Jack shook his head at his confused friend.
Milton seeing this said, "Yes, that was what Roxy said she should be here in a few minutes."
Jack nodded his head. Suddenly something hit him full blow into the stomach. Sending him to the wall . He looked down to find some guy who was dressed as a ninja holding him up against the wall by the collar of his shirt. Jack looked down at him with mixed emotions on his face: shock, confusion, and anger.
With the mask on Jack couldn't tell any facial expression at all coming from the guy holding him. He then suddenly heard a voice say,"Drop him Flex or else."
Flex then literally dropped Jack making him fall to the floor with a thud. Jerry, Eddie, and Milton who were cowering behind a beaten up trash can turned towards the sound of the voice along with Flex to find it coming from a small 14 year old girl. She was wearing a white tank top that showed her belly, spandex Nike shorts, sneakers, a black mask across her eyes, and she had her hair up in a messy bun.
The guy Flex smirked at her as he walked closer towards her he said, "Well, well if it isn't princess, Flash was right you sure have grown. Now I understand why Jake was hanging around you the whole time...he was waiting for you to hit puberty."
The girl ran in anger she tried to punch him but he caught her wrist and flipped her hard onto the hallway floor. Everyone winced as they heard the back of her head hitting the floor. Surprisingly the girl didn't cry out in pain.
Flex said, "Why don't you cry, Blackstar? You know you want too."
Blackstar looked at the guy trying to force back tears from spilling out of her eyes. She said,"I will never cry for you! And that's a promise!" Once Blackstar said this she kneed him in the chin making him flip over onto the floor. He groaned in pain and was struggling to get off the floor. Blackstar seeing this quickly pinned him down.
Flex said, "Wow...Flash wasn't kidding when he said you got stronger." Suddenly, teenagers came out of the lunchroom probably wondering what all the noise was coming from. All the teenagers formed a circle around Blackstar and Flex. Blackstar thought:'Great...just what I need an audience.'
Flex sneered, "Well it looks like we have an audience," as he kicked Blackstar off of him while; she was distracted by her thoughts. Blackstar fell on her back groaning in pain all the teenagers gasped.
Donna then ran out into the middle of the circle pointing her finger at Blackstar screeching, "That's her...thats...that's the girl from the tape!" Donna then pointed her finger at Flex the guy dressed as a ninja and screeched, "That's the guy from the tape!"
Flex who was now standing on the floor sneered at Donna,"That wasn't me Barbie I'm not Flash I'm Flex."
Donna screeched rolling her brown eyes,"Well you all look the same when you're in that hideous outfit."
Flex than ran up to the girly girl putting a pocket knife to her neck. He snapped angrily at Donna's frightened face, "No one insults my Father's way of dress."
When he was about to cut Donna a voice spoke harshly from behind him,"Please! Flex don't cut her; cut me instead!"
Flex turned around to find himself facing the piercing blue eyes of Blackstar. She was holding her head up showing her neck. Flex noticed a tear roll down her cheek. She said,"What are you waiting for do it." Instantly at Blackstars words he went into flashback mode.
FLASHBACK
Flex was up on his bed in his room filled with karate equipment. He wasn't able to go to sleep. So he decided to go down to the training room. He walked out of his room quietly and walked down the stairs to the training room. He walked into the dimly lit training room to find one of his 'siblings' in the room attacking a punching dummy like no tomorrow. He shook his head finally realizing who the figure was it was Roxy at eleven years old. He walked up and sat on a mental bench.
He said,"Father would kill you if he found out what you did every night and what you wear. You're lucky this room is sound proof, Blackstar
The petite girl stopped punching the dummy and turned around to face Flex. Flex noticed she wasn't following one of the rules Father told her to obey she wasn't wearing a dress but black jersey shorts and a tight gray tank top. Instead of her hair being nice and straight in a bun it was wavy in a messy pony tail. She smirked as she took a sit next to Flex.
Blackstar said,"You know you can call me by my real name Roxy, Mike."
Flex(Mike) said,"Well Father likes-
Blackstar(Roxy) snapped,"Please don't give me that Father crud!"
And an angry fire flashed through the petite girl's piercing blue eyes.
Blackstar snapped, "Call me by my real name, Roxy!"
Flex looked into the girl's tired eyes and said, "What's wrong you haven't been acting like yourself?"
Roxy sighed wiping the sweat from her forehead and said, "This isn't who I am anyway Mike. I'm tired of pretending to be an innocent little girlie girl." She then stood up and flexed her arms, when you look at her it seems that her arms are like noodles cause of how small she is but, flexing you could see the muscle she has been building in her arms.
She then let her arms fall loosely to her sides and sighed. She continued, "This is me Mike a tomboy who trains from 9:00p.m every night in this training room to 1:00 a.m. in the morning. I hate wearing dresses, I hate always having to have my hair neatly straightened in a tight bun. I want be myself Mike!" She then ran and did a flying dragon kick to the dummy taking its head off in anger. Mike was surprised by the girl who always had acted happy and perky had a furious fire of anger burning in her piercing blue eyes which scared the hell out of him. Then suddenly Roxy broke down falling to her knees crying her eyes out yelling,"I'm sorry you have to see me so weak! I just...the t-the...all secrets and the-e pre-re-ressssure!"
Mike quickly ran over to the crying blonde girl and wrapped her in a big bear hug. Roxy hugged him tightly and between sobs spoke, "Thanks, for being my big bro, Mike. Thank you so much."
Mike then whispered into Roxy's ear, "I will always be your big bro, no matter what."
END FLASHBACK
Flex coming out of flashback looked down to found Roxy still waiting for the pocket knife to cut her neck. Flex did something unexpected by everyone he dropped the pocket knife to the hall way floor saying, "I can't do it. Big brothers don't hurt little sisters."
A tear then came down from his eye rolling but no one noticed because of his mask. Blackstar was surprised and gave him a look of confusion watching for any sudden movements from him. Flex seeing this ran out the school doing a rebound.
Blackstar just stood there contemplating whether she should go after him or not. Then she thought:'Wait...Jack!"
Blackstar quickly ran out of the circle of curious and frightened teens who haven't headed back to their lunch. She ran frantically to the unconsiuss Jack lying on the floor. She quickly checked his pulse sighing in relief that he was okay; knowing that Flex could have killed him. She started to gently shake Jack.
Slowly, Jack's eyes fluttered open taking in the image in his vision sight. He looked at Blackstar seeing her piercing blue eyes looking concernly at him. He looked at her in confusion and asked,"What's going on?"
Blackstar helped Jack to sit up straight agiasnt the wall and said, "I saved you from getting a beating from the ninja guy that attacked you."
Jack asked slightly confused, "Why? Why, would you help me?"
Blackstar smiled at him and said, "Why wouldn't I, "as she got up off the floor. Blackstar then looked around at the teens who were starring at her; she smiled and said,"You guys better go enjoy your lunch , oh and no one call the cops I'll keep you safe and if you already did I bet they laughed in your face anyway."
Some kids nodded their heads at Blackstar. She then smirked running out of the school doing a perfect cartwheel and a double rebound.
Everyone then left the hall to head back into lunch with curiosity about the new fighting girl in town. Jack just sat there against the wall trying to put everything that happened in order. Jack thought: 'Okay so I went before lunch to check on Kim making sure that Roxy made sure Jerry and Eddie wouldn't kill each other. I left Kim to sleep peacefully in at the nurses' office and went back to head to lunch with the rest of my friends. Roxy wasn't there because apparently her dad beeped her. I stood between Milton and Jerry to stop their argument and the next thing I know I get hit really hard in my stomach and I'm held up against the wall. And the next thing I know is I suddenly hit something and black out. Wow Jack you sure had a day.'
Jerry, Eddie, and Milton then came from where they were all cowering behind a trash can. Jerry exclaimed loudly through the empty hall, "Woo! That was total SWAG! That girl was so cool how she took out that guy who was like 5 times bigger than her!"
Eddie exclaimed, "Yeah that was so awesome how she saved Jack from the ninja guy!"
Milton wondered, "I wonder why she was wearing a mask?"
Jerry gave Milton a look that said 'you did not just ask that'.
Jerry exclaimed, "Milton it's to protect her secret identity don't you read comic books!"
Jack asked getting off from the floor, "You read comic books?"
Jerry mumbled meekly, "Uh...no."
Eddie, Milton and Jack just rolled their eyes at his meek response.
Then Roxy came bursting through the school doors and stopped once she saw the guys in the hall.
She said happily, "Hey guys!"
Everyone just starred at her in curiosity.
Roxy noticed this and asked, "What?"
Jack came up to Roxy real close and asked,"Where have you been this whole time?"
Roxy rolled her eyes while shoving Jack back away from her saying, "I was yelling at my dad on the phone for like 15 minutes, and do you mind my personal space."
Jack snapped annoyed, "Hey! I don't like shoving."
Roxy rolled her piercing eyes and snapped, "Well sorry I don't want you in my personal bubble!"
Jack snapped, "You're whining about your friggin personal space when I got hit against the wall and was dropped on the floor and blacked out! You don't get to complain!"
Roxy snapped, "Your lucky I even-"
Roxy stopped talking realizing what she was about to say.
Jack looked at her quizzically and asked, "Your lucky I even...what?"
Roxy looked down at her sneakers and said quickly, "Nothing let's just have some lunchtime while we still can."
She then quickly went through the lunch doors not waiting for the guys to tag along.
Jack sighed as he headed towards the doors knowing this was goning to be an awkward and silent lunch.
After school...
Jack had brought Kim from the nurses' office to her locker after school; they were now both sitting against the lockers waiting for the guys to show up.
Jack asked, "So Kim you get a good sleep."
Kim looked up from the floor into Jack's chocolate brown eyes she tried not to melt into them and answered, "Yeah... I"
She was then suddenly interrupted by her stomach grumbling. She looked down at her stomach and continued, "I wish you would've woke me up for lunch, I'm starving."
Jack chuckled and said, "Well you looked so much like a peaceful sleeping angel I was scared that I would end up waking up an evil witch."
Kim said, "You really think I look like an angel?"
Jack felt blush creep to his cheeks and mumbled, "Um...yeah sorta."
Kim smiled blushing lightly at the skater boy who was looking down at his Vans in embarrassment.
Kim asked, "So what did I miss?"
Jack looked up and said, "You know what I'll take you to Falafel Phil's to relieve your empty stomach before practice and tell you all about the day."
Kim raised her eyebrows at the brunette and said, "I missed a lot didn't I?"
Jack said, "Yeah you did."
That's when Roxy went running up to her locker that Jack was sitting next to and started to shuffle books into her locker not noticing Kim or Jack. Her phone then vibrated. Kim and Jack both looked up at the petite girl noticing the vibration. She quickly whipped out her iPone and looked at the new text message she just received. Jack and Kim both watched as an angry look came across her face but vanished as soon as it came. Jack and Kim both cocked an eyebrow looking at each other wondering what was up. Roxy not even bothering to reply to the message threw the phone into her backpack and slammed her locker door sliding down to the floor next to Jack. They all just sat there in a silence.
Kim broke the silence asking, "So Roxy are you going to the lock in tonight?
Roxy startled by Kim's voice jumped a little and accidentally hit her head against her locker.
Roxy whined, "Ow, Kim you scared me I didn't even know you were there."
Kim said, "Oh sorry Roxy. So are you going to the lock in tonight?"
Roxy rubbing her head mumbled, "I'm gonna have to."
Jack heard her mumble but couldn't understand the words that came out of her mouth.
Jack quizzically asked, "What did you say?"
Roxy's head shot up frantically, to look at Jack she answered, "Uh...nothing."
Jack said, "But I heard you mumble something."
Roxy rolled her eyes and thought: 'Man this kid does not give up.'
Jack said, "Well?"
Kim then harshly said, "Jack", into his ear letting him know to stop.
Jack turned away from Roxy and pouted.
Kim rolled her deep brown eyes at the pouting brunette and asked again, "So are you going or not?"
Roxy said, "Yeah I am it sounds fun and I wouldn't want to leave you with all the Barbie dolls," she smirked at the end.
Kim smiled at Roxy and said with relief putting her hand to her forehead, "Thank God!"
The girls then both giggled and the brunette sitting between them couldn't help but chuckle himself.
The guys then came running down the stairs to the laughing teens who were now starting to calm down. Jerry exclaimed happily, "Come on guys let's go to the Dojo and start practice early before we go to the lock down!"
Milton corrected, "You mean lock in."
Jerry said, "Yeah whatever same thing."
Roxy looked around quizzically and asked, "Oh yeah was I ever banned from the mall or not?"
Kim got up from the floor and said with a bright smile on her face, "Nope you weren't because I got Tootsie this goat that Rudy loves; to go back to him from Falafel Phil and I told him that you brought Tootsie back as saying sorry for the wall. Oh my gosh you should've seen him he was so ecstatic he was literally jumping off the walls. So he didn't ban you, so if you ever go into the Dojo and he says something about that to you just go along with it."
Roxy smiled big at Kim jumping up from the floor giving her a high five saying, "Awesome, you rock Kim!"
Jack said as he got up from the floor, "So are we all gonna meet up at the Dojo then?"
Jerry exclaimed, "Woo! Of course!"
Milton nodded his head.
Eddie said, "Sure."
Kim said, "Yeah."
Roxy said, "Why not."
Jack said, "Alright well come on let's go are you coming to Roxy?"
Roxy said, "Oh no I have something's to do, bye."
The Wasabi Warriors all said, "Bye," as they watched the petite girl leave.
They all then left telling Kim about the strange things that happened while she was sleeping during the day.
At the Dojo...
Kim was practicing her flying dragon kick to one of the dummy's while Jerry, Eddie, and Milton were taking turns sparring with each other.
Jack was lying on the bench and whined, "I'm so bored!"
Kim stopped concentrating at the dummy and looked over at the whining brunette. She smirked and said, "Well you shouldn't have gotten a concussion or you would be practicing."
Jack rolled his eyes and sarcastically said, "Yeah because it's my fault!"
Kim smirked and retorted, "Well it's also someone's fault that they didn't get any information from a certain someone today during lunch!"
Jack exclaimed, "Hey I just came out of a concussion I didn't know what I was saying! Anyway my apology for that was taking you to Falafel Phil's to fill your hungry stomach before practice."
Kim glared at Jack and said, "Whatever."
Jack smirked knowing he won this argument.
Jerry exclaimed, "Ooh look the lovebirds are fighting."
Kim snapped holding up her fist, "You know Jerry I got some real good sleep today and you should know me well enough that I'm not afraid to use this."
Jerry quickly ran into the boys' locker room terrified by the blonde girl.
Jack rolled his eyes and said, "Guys let's just go get ready for the lock in before Roxy shows up."
Everyone nodded their heads. Kim headed into the girls' locker room while the guys headed into the boys' lockeroom.
Kim came out of the locker room wearing black Abercrombie yoga pants and a bright pink tank top with black flip flops carrying her Bobby Wasabi training bag. She noticed she was the first one out and thought: 'Wow I wonder what's taking the guys so long?', as she sat down on the red bench.
That's when Jack came out decked out in a tight black under shirt with red sweat pants and black slides he was wearing with black socks. Kim couldn't help but stare in 'aw' with that tight black under shirt Kim could see how built he really was and his muscular arms just killed her. I mean she has seen Jerry dress like this but she never felt an attraction to him like she did with Jack.
Jack noticed Kim starring and said, "You know if you take a picture it will last longer."
Kim fought her blush and said, "Like I would want a picture of that."
Jack flexed his arms and smirked saying, "You know you do."
Kim turned away from Jack with an upset look on her face. Jack noticed this; his smirk instantly fell into a frown. He walked over and sat next to Kim on the bench and looked at her in concern. He said, "Kim, you do know I was just kidding."
Kim said, "Yeah but I am a teenage girl Jack."
Jack asked really confused, "What does that mean?"
Kim sighed and looked up into his chocolate brown eyes and said, "Well you can't expect me to not be uh... attracted to you when you wear well that."
Jack said with surprise in his voice, "But Jerry wears this stuff all the time...unless..."
Kim said quickly, "I'm not attracted to Jerry! I should slap you for even thinking that!"
Jack said with relief, "Oh good. But how then that means...you think I 'm hot."
Kim said quietly, "Well I can admit you are attractive, but it doesn't mean I like you."
Jack said, "Yeah… whatever you say Kimmy."
Kim rolled her deep brown eyes at the cocky brunette.
He continued, "But I think it's only fair to let you know that you're attractive too."
They both smiled and looked into another's eyes. They then started to lean in feeling like there was a magnetic connection with their lips when suddenly Roxy burst through the Dojo doors yelling, "Hey guys!"
Kim quickly pushed Jack off the bench. Jack fell to the floor not expecting her actions at all with a shocked expression as he turned his head from looking at Kim to Roxy. Roxy cocked an eyebrow noticing the startled blushing teens in the Dojo.
She asked, "Uh... Was I interrupting something?"
Jack and Kim both quickly said, "No," as they starred at Roxy in mortification.
Roxy said looking at them weirdly, "Okay...whatever."
Roxy then went over and helped Jack off the floor, she took a spot next to Kim on the bench. Roxy was wearing a dark purple tank top with black jersey shorts, black slides with purple socks and she had a black SnapBack on with a funky purple design over her blonde waves that fell past her shoulders. She had her dark purple backpack flung over her shoulder
Kim said, "So I'm guessing your favorite colors purple."
Roxy nodded and said, "Yep."
She then asked, "So where's everyone else?"
Jack took a seat next to Roxy and said, "I don't know they should be out by now."
Roxy just looked Jack up and down with her piercing blue eyes. Jack noticed this and asked, "What?"
Roxy then stopped and looked up at Jack saying, "Hey wearing a tight undershirt that shows off your muscles like that you cannot expect girls to not take a good look."
Jack cocked an eyebrow at her and looked at her weirdly. Roxy noticing this said, "What I'm just being honest, gosh!"
Jack and Kim just both laughed at their friend's outburst. Roxy smiled at both of them thinking:'I'm glad I met these kids.'
Eddie and Milton then both came out of the boy's locker room. Eddie was wearing a plain white T-shirt, red pajama pants, and sneakers. Milton came out wearing Cacky pants, a pastel orange collared shirt with a blue sweater vest over it, and boat shoes with navy socks peeping out. Everyone starred at him weirdly. Milton noticed this and asked slightly confused, "What?"
Jack said, "Um Milton you do know that this is a lock in right."
Milton nodded and said, "Yeah so..."
Jack continued, "Don't you wanna wear something a little well a lot more comfortable."
Milton asked still not getting it, "Why should I?"
Roxy answered like it was so obvious, "Because we're going to be in the cafeteria all night running around or some might sleep, but don't you want to be comfortable while doing that kind of stuff."
Milton replied happily, "Duh, that's why I brought my transformers pj's and bathrobe in case I wanted to change."
Roxy looked at him weirdly while nodding slowly and asked, "Are you sure you have a girlfriend?"
Milton glared at Roxy and said, "Shut up shrimp."
Roxy glared at Milton while charging over at him yelling, "Nobody ever calls me SHRIMP! I thought you were a smart kid but I guess not because you would know that the last time someone called me shrimp; let's just say they were out for a while!"
Roxy swung her fist at Milton's frightened face but instantly she dropped it remembering a horrible day.
FLASHBACK
Roxy was 11 years old talking to Jake in the training room late one night. They were both sitting on the bench in there pjs. Roxy sighed and said looking into Jakes sparking green eyes, "Look I want you to come runaway with me to protect kids who go to other Dojo's from the; Black Warriors. Jake gave her an incredulous look and said, "What! Are you crazy you want to betray our family and go out and protect kids! Roxy you do know we're eleven right!"
Roxy snapped, "So age doesn't make a difference and you know all the secrets they've been hiding from me! Who knows how many they could be hiding from you Jake!"
Jake yelled, "That's not the point Roxy you're a little girl. You teach yourself karate skills without any professionals help. You aren't able to protect or intimidate people Roxy because your so-"
Roxy yelled interrupting, "So what are you saying!"
Jake got in her face and yelled, "I'm saying you're a shrimp!"
Jake not expecting it Roxy punched him in the eye and twisted his arm so hard she ended up spraining his elbow. He cried out in pain. Roxy hearing his cry quickly let go already seeing the black eye forming. Jake yelled, "I can't believe you Roxy!"
Roxy exclaimed, "I'm so sorry Jake! I'm sorry," as he walked out of the training room slamming the door behind him. Roxy fell to the mat sobbing knowing she probably just lost the one real friend she ever had in her life.
End Flashback
Roxy came back to reality and fell into Milton giving him a hug. As she pulled away she said, "Sorry Milton I can get a little worked up."
Milton looked taken aback by her mood change and how it looked like she was forcing back tears from falling out of her piercing blue eyes. Milton decided to not point out anything and said, "It's alright."
Roxy smiled and sat back down over on the bench next to Kim. She knew they were all looking at her weirdly; wondering what that was all about but she didn't care.
Kim broke the tense silence asking, "So how long does it take Jerry to change?"
A quizzical expression came across Jack's face and he said, "Yeah he should be done by now."
Eddie said while eating a chocolate chip cookie,"He said he wouldn't come out until Kim left."
Kim said, "Well I'm not leaving."
Jack got up from the bench smirking and saying, "I think I know how to get him out of there."
Jack banged on the now locked locker room door and shouted, "Jerry come out!
Roxy rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Yeah like that's gonna work."
Jack glared at her.
Jerry said, "Give up Jack I'm not coming out until Kim leaves."
Jack said, "Oh too bad Jerry you're missing the show out here."
Jerry asked slightly confused, "What show?"
Jack smirked and said, "Roxy's out here in a tiny, little bikini."
Kim had to hold back Roxy from running over and beating the crud out of Jack for saying that.
Jerry spoke through the door, "Nice try Jack but I know we're going to a lock in not the beach."
Jack banged his fist against the door and hissed, "Dang it, the onetime Jerry isn't confused." Then suddenly Roxy appeared by his side and said with a knowing smile on her face, "I know a way we can get him out of there."
Jack cocked an eyebrow and asked, "Really, what?"
Roxy smiled and yelled through the boys' locker room door, "Oh my God, Eddie look Jack and Kim are making out!"
Jerry clothes.
Jerry instantly burst through the boys' locker room door wearing black sweat pants with a plain orange T-shirt with white slides and black socks; stumbling with his feet yelling, "Where! I got the camera," as he held up a camera in the air.
He then tripped on his own feet and fell on the floor. Jerry looked up to see Jack, Kim, Eddie, Roxy, and Milton starring at him.
Jerry asked slightly confused, "Why aren't Jack and Kim making out?"
Jack rolled his eyes and got Jerry up from the floor.
The gang of teenagers got their stuff and walked out of Bobby Wasabi's Dojo towards Seaford High School.
On the way there Milton was having a conversation with Eddie on eating healthier food, while Kim was having a conversation with Jerry on how he could get his black belt faster by working harder. Jack being the leader in the group of friends was in front of the group leading them to the High School. Roxy was on the side of the group walking by herself looking at the evening sky. Jack looked to the side and noticed this he then strolled over closer to Roxy and looked down at her. She looked like she was in deep thought. Jack said, "Hey you alright?"
Roxy looked up into his chocolate brown eyes and said, "Yeah I'm fine. Why do you care?"
Jack looked at her quizzically and asked, "Why shouldn't I? We are friends right?"
Roxy giggled at his look and said, "Yeah...I just...there have people in my life that cared for me and said they would be there for me forever, but they broke their promise."
A look of concern came across Jack's face noticing the sadness that flashed through the petite girl's piercing blue eyes.
Jack said with sincerity in his voice, "Well Roxy forget about those jerks. You have me, Kim, Jerry, Eddie, Milton and Rudy we will never hurt you."
Roxy said, "Thank you."
Jack smiled and said, "No problem."
The rest of the way everyone laughed and chatted happily excited for the lock in ahead of them. Roxy couldn't of stopped smiling if she was sent to hell, she was ecstatic that for once in her life she felt like she finally belonged but most importantly loved.
They were all happily chatting away when suddenly two guys dressed as ninjas came out of nowhere and jumped in front of the group suddenly. Eddie,Milton, and Jerry instantly ran for there lives in the direction of the highschool.
Jack and Kim both took karate stances with determined look on their faces ready for anything that comes at them. Roxy was just standing beside Jack with her arms crossed over her chest pointing a glare at the two ninjas standing before them. Jack looked over to his side and noticed Roxy; he hissed, "Roxy what are you doing get out of here?" "You don't know anything about karate."
One of the guys dressed as a ninja jumped in front of Roxy and sneered, "Yeah listen to the boy Roxy-y-y, you don't know any karate."
Roxy glared deadly and snapped, "I may not know anything about karate but I know how to do this!" Roxy then instantly punched the guy in the face and kicked him where the sun don't shine; making him fall to the ground in pain. Roxy turned around and smirked at the shocked faces of Kim and Jack. She said still smirking, "Well I don't know how you guys do it in California but that's how we fight South Florida style!"
Kim then realized something and looked around and asked slightly confused, "Hey where did the other guy go?"
Jack asked quizzically, "Yeah and where did the guy go that Roxy took out?"
The three teens looked around quizzically but found no one in sight. They all just shrugged and headed towards the High School.
Line Break
At Seaford High...
Jack, Kim, and Roxy all step through the cafeteria doors at Seaford High ready to have a good time.
Jack noticed when he came into the cafeteria how all the girls were staring at him. He started to feel a little self conscious he then looked down at what he was wearing and realized why. As he fought the blush from his cheeks he said quietly to Roxy, "Maybe I should have worn a shirt."
Roxy smirked and said, "What embarrassed of your pecks pretty boy."
Jack glared at her and said, "No."
Roxy shrugged and asked, "So what's the problem?"
Jack looked down at his black slides with no response."
Roxy said sweetly, "Aw you have a shy side that's so sweet, but sorry pretty boy tough'in up." She said the last part while slapping him on the back and strolling away towards where Jerry and Eddie were sitting on the cafeteria floor.
Jack crossed his arms over his chest and said to Kim, "She really is different."
Kim smiled and said happily, "Yeah and I'm so glad she is," as she walked over to Eddie, Jerry, and Roxy who were all sitting in a circle.
Jack chuckled and walked over towards the group sitting next to Kim.
He then asked noticing a friend missing, "Where's Milton?"
Jerry pouted saying, "With his girlfriend."
Kim asked, "Why are you pouting Jerry?"
Jerry whined, "Because the nerdiest kid at school got a girlfriend before I did!"
Kim rolled her eyes at the over-dramatic teen boy and said, "Jerry you don't have a girlfriend, because you don't know how to treat girls."
Jerry snapped, "Not true!"
Kim crossed her arms over her chest giving him a knowing look.
Jerry said meekly, "Okay, maybe I don't."
Roxy snickered while playing with her iPhone, "Well no guy does."
Jack cocked an eyebrow and said, "Well at least we know how to be a good friend."
Instantly, Roxy sat up on her purple sleeping bag when before she was laying down playing with her phone. She crossed her arms over her chest and asked, "What are you saying Jack?"
Jack said, "I'm saying that you havn't really told us anything about yourself or where you came from."
Roxy said, "So..."
Jack said in a serious tone, "Well I we just want to know you."
Jerry cherrped in, "Actually, Jack I don't really care."
Jack glared at Jerry and said, "Shut it,"through gritted teeth.
Jerry just slowly moved awa from Jack on the floor.
Jack said, "So…maybe just me and Kim want to know you better."
Roxy looked at Kim confused, but Kim nodded her head in agreement with Jack.
She then cocked an eyebrow and asked, "Why should I?"
Jack said with a smirk, "What got something to hide?"
Roxy smiled and said, "Of course not, hit me with anything you got."
Jerry quickly asked, "Where'd you move here from?"
Roxy answered, "South Florida."
Jack asked, "You have any siblings?"
At the word siblings Roxy's facial expression changed from fierce to hopelessness this didn't go unnoticed by Jack and Kim. They both looked at each other making sure the other noticed the expression change.
Roxy thought: 'I knew they would start to get suspicious. I guess I'll just have to play along for now.'
She sighed and sadly said, "Yeah I have a little brother his name is Matt."
Jack asked more intrigued now, "Really? Does he go to Seaford Elementary?"
Roxy looked down at her purple socks and shook her head sadly and said, "No I haven't seen him since I was eight years old."
Jerry asked sympathetically,"W-what happened?"
Roxy looked around at the gang seeing concern in all they're eyes.
She sighed and finally answered, "You know how people say your life can change in a blink of an eye?"
Jack, Kim, Jerry, and Eddie nodded their heads telling her to continue.
Roxy continued, "Well that's what happened?"
Jack asked with concern, "What's the story to it?"
Roxy quickly said, "I don't want to talk about it when I am comfortable I will, let's just drop it okay."
Everyone nodded their heads sympathetically in understanding.
Eddie then got up from the floor and walked over to where Marge was sitting in a chair behind the lunch rail.
He asked, "When are we going to get food?"
Marge answered, "In an hour."
Eddie looked at Marge like she just told him they were banning junk food in California. He started laughing and said, "You're kidding right?"
Marge shook her head and said, "Sorry baby pop but the pizza isn't coming until an hour."
Eddie whined, "What! But-t-t I need to eat!"
Marge retorted, "Yeah and I need a diet but do you see any of us getting anywhere with whining!
Eddie then said firmly, "I want to talk to Mr. Squires then!"
Marge rolled her eyes at the hungry boy while filing her nails and said, "Then your going to have to wait until Monday."
Eddie asked slightly confused, "Why?"
Marge shrugged and said simply, "He didn't feeling like staying up with rowdy teenagers all night so he's paying me overtime to watch your butts."
Eddie then smiled and said sweetly, "You look really pretty tonight Marge."
Marge smiled and said, "Why, thank you sugar pop, but your still waiting for pizza."
Eddie then pouted and walked over taking his spot next to Jerry and started to make a conversation, about Falafel Phil's with the gang when suddenly the lights went out making the room pitch black.
Jerry did his Indian War Chant and quickly cuddled into Jack who was sitting next to him
Jack exclaimed, "Jerry what's wrong and what are you doing?
Jerry whimpered still cuddling tightly into Jack, "I'm afraid of the dark."
Jack cocked an eyebrow and asked, "Um...okay but why are you cuddling into me?"
Jerry chuckled and said, "What Jack! I'm not cuddling into you I'm cuddling into Kim."
Kim laughed and said, "No Jerry you're cuddling into Jack 'cause if you tried to cuddle into me you would be wearing a black eye by now."
Jerry said, "Oh, "while quickly pulling away from Jack.
Jack said harshly, "You're lucky I can't see you in this darkness or you would've gotten a good kick."
Jerry quietly whimpered.
Kim sighed and grumbled while crossing her arms over her chest saying, "Great, we can't even see."
Then suddenly the lights came on everyone looked around with curiosity wondering what happened. Then there was a loud bang across the cafeteria; it was Marge slamming the switchbox shut. She looked around at the Freshman starring at her and said, "Someone, somehow got into the switchbox and turned the electric off."
Marge glared at the teenagers lying around the cafeteria floor and continued, "Don't do it again or I'll cancel Fajita Fridays!" With that Marge barged into the kitchen slamming the door and locking it behind her.
Kim looked around noticing Roxy was nowhere to be found and asked, "Hey where's Roxy?"
Jerry, Eddie, and Jack all looked around in confusion. They looked back at Kim and shrugged.
Suddenly a boy who looked 14 years old; who was dressed as a ninja jumped from the ceiling and fell to the floor landing on his feet. The teenagers just stared at him in shock. The boy yelled, "Where is she?"
Jack got up and crossed his arms over his chest and yelled, "Hey! Get out of here whoever you are; we're trying to enjoy our lock in!"
The boy glared through his mask at Jack. Jack couldn't see his glare but knew he was. The boy then started to walk slowly towards Jack. Unbeknownst to Jack that the boy was slowly pulling out a shuriken from one of his hidden pockets to hit Jack with. Right when he was about to throw it in front of him to hit Jack a voice from behind him yelled, "I wouldn't do that if I were you!"
The boy quickly slipped the shuriken back into his hidden pocket; he turned to find a petite girl who was wearing a tight white tank top that showed her belly, black spandex Nike shorts, she was wearing a black mask, but that didn't stop anyone from noticing her piercing blue eyes, she also had her hair up in a messy bun and she was barefoot.
She walked closely towards the boy until she was right in his face looking at him in curiosity. The boy noticed this and asked, "What?"
Blackstar asked with curiosity in her voice, "Are they bringing in new people? I never have seen you around the BW household."
The boy chuckled and said, "You really don't remember me Blackstar?"
Blackstar shook her head in confusion.
The boy smirked at her and said, "Well maybe this will remind you."
Instantly, the boy lifted up some of his mask; enough that it was exposing his lips and quickly kissed Blackstar on the lips.
Blackstar pulled away quickly in shock and looked at him with confusion and said in bewilderment, "J-Jakee...is t-thatt you?"
Jake threw his hands up in exaggeration and exclaimed sarcastically, "Thanks for using my real name Blackstar!"
Blackstar exclaimed, "I'm sorry uh...Bullet."
Jake(Bullet) said, "Whatever, so did you miss me?"
Blackstar smiled and said sweetly, "Of course I did! I also forgot to give you something. " She said this while stepping close to Jake again.
Bullet asked, "Really? What?"
Blackstar said, "This."
Instantly, she slapped Bullet across the face and kicked him in the shin.
She yelled angrily, "You ever kiss me again...you will die!"
Bullet shook his head and said with sincerity, "Look, uh...Blackstar I know I'm not on your favorite people's list but please I came back to help you."
Blackstar crossed her arms over her chest and glared threateningly at the sincere looking boy. She said, "Yeah sure...'Father' sent you Bullet I'm not an idiot he's been doing it forever so tell me why you're really here so I can kick your butt and leave!"
Bullet sighed and said, "Your right 'Father did send me here but that doesn't mean I'm going back."
Blackstar asked in utter shock, "What!"
Bullet said, "I was sent here by 'Father' to taunt and capture you, but I don't want to follow him or be part of whatever messed up thing he has planned, I want to be with you Blackstar."
Bullet sighed and continued, "I want to help you Blackstar, I-I love you."
All the girls in the cafeteria awed. Kim also awed saying, "I wish I could get a sweet guy like that."
Jack frowned and asked, "Aren't I sweet enough for you?"
Kim looked up at Jack and cocked an eyebrow, "Yeah...I guess you okay Jack you've been acting weird lately?"
Jack said sarcastically, "Pffft... Yeah I'm f-fine why...why wouldn't I be?"
Kim shrugged and said, "I don't know you tell me."
Jack was about to speak but Jerry quietly yelled, "Woo! Would you lovebirds keep it down I'm trying to watch the live show here!"
Jerry then quickly turned back to watch the conversation Blackstar and Bullet were having.
He asked, "Eddie can you pass the popcorn?"
Eddie nodded and handed Jerry a cup.
Jerry then realized something and asked, "Eddie do you carry popcorn around with you?"
Eddie said, "No, why would I do that."
Jerry gave him a knowing look.
Then Eddie said, "Okay, maybe I have a problem. But hey we are the only people who have food."
Jerry shrugged and said, "Your right."
He then turned his attention back to the scene before him.
Blackstar was just standing there in shock not knowing what to say at all. Bullet noticed and sighed putting his hands on his hips waiting for Blackstar to speak. Slowly Blackstar came out of her shock and said slowly, "You love…me but…you really love me?"
Then an unconvinced look came across her face she said, "No...no.." she was lost with her own words. Bullet came up to Blackstar right in her face looking her dead in the eye and said, "But I do."
Blackstar started to back away slowly with her hands shaking and exclaimed, "No! No, you don't you...you w-would've came along with me when I asked you...you said you would but you didn't even say goodbye, Bullet you left me in the frigg'in cold!"
Blackstar continued to yell, "If you really loved me you wouldn't have left me on my own! Did you know how much that hurt me! You went back on your word...y-you...y-you said you would be there by my side forever and always, YOU LIED!" At the end Blackstar raised her voice glaring deadly at the boy she used to love with a fiery anger in her piercing blue eyes. Bullet put his hands out in front of him in exasperation and yelled, "I was eleven! What did you want me to do die for kids!
Blackstar spoke calmly, "If you had to...yes."
Bullet started to walk slowly towards the petite girl saying, "Why are you doing this Blackstar? Why are hurting yourself for others who won't even remember you? Why?"
It took a few minutes for Blackstar to answer since she went into deep thought about what Bullet asked.
Finally, Blackstar answered, "I'm doing this, because if I don't who will? And I figured I've been slowly dieting inside my whole life what does it matter if I do hurt myself. And it's not about being remembered it's about doing what's right."
Bullet then stepped towards Blackstar now facing her again and said, "But I really do love you no matter what." He then suddenly kissed her on the lips. She kissed back wrapping her arms around his neck slowly. While, Bullet gently wrapped his arms around her waist.
All the teenagers just starred at the two teens making out in the middle of the cafeteria all in shock. Julie who was Milton's girlfriend sitting with him and holding hands in the corner said, "Wow...I wonder when we'll get to do that Milton."
Milton replied nervously, "Uh...yeah me too."
Jack, Kim, Eddie and Jerry were all just sitting on their sleeping bags in complete shock just like everyone else. Jack thought: 'Wow…I wonder if Kim would ever make out with me…wait…what!' He then shook his head in frustration. Kim thought: 'This is the strangest lock in ever.' Jerry thought: 'I wonder…maybe I could make out with Kelsey by talking Kim into doing a boy/girl party at her house or something next weekend…I should keep that in mind.' Eddie thought: 'Ugh…gross why do they have to suck each other's faces.'
Bullet then slowly pulled away from Blackstar for air; she did the same from Bullet. Blackstar knew ever since she became best friends with Bullet when she was eleven that she would always love him. Ever since the day he broke her heart and the promise he had made her; she knew that deep down in her heart she still would never be able not to love him no matter what he did. Blackstar could see into the sparkling green eyes that were exposed through a part of Bullet's mask; that he really did believe that she believed what he said. When the real truth was she didn't she was playing along the whole time. Blackstar seeing Bullet distracted deep into his own stupid thoughts kicked him in the stomach sending him onto the dirty cafeteria floor. She watched as a mixed expression of shock and surprise came across his face. Blackstar smirked while standing over him and said, "I may be a teenage girl; whose weakness is sadly her feelings towards boys, but I'm not an idiot and I'm more cautious than I ever was before; on dealing with guys like you!"
Bullet quickly jumped up from the floor and glared down at the petite girl standing with her arms crossed over her chest in front of him. Bullet hissed, "I didn't want it to go this far but you asked for it!"
Instantly, two guys 5 times Blackstar's size jumped out of nowhere and they both grabbed Blackstar by her arms. She looked at the guys holding her tightly by her arms and glared her piercing blue eyes deadly at Bullet yelling, "I can't believe you! I Never thought you'd go this low!' I never thought you'd ever go as low as 'Father'!
Bullet spat with a glare, "What is that suppose to mean?"
Blackstar sneered, "It means you have other people do your own dirty work! Your patheitic, Bullet you're a sad excuse for a martial artist!"
Bullet snapped in anger and threw a shuriken at her. The shuriken hit her shoulder cutting her making a wound that started to bleed badly. Blackstar cursed loudly in pain, watching as blood dripped from her wound the shuriken made.
Instantly, Jack ran up from his sleeping bag in anger. He didn't care if he didn't know the girl, he didn't care what the heck was going, the only thing he cared about was the boy hurting the girl like that and with his Hero Complex he couldn't help him self from jumping into the action. As he ran up unnoticed by Bullet he kicked him in the back sending him to the floor. Bullet rolled over to on the floor to face Jack in surprise. Jack looked like he wanted to beat the boy up until he went to hell. Jack yelled at the boy on the floor with his now looking deadly brown eyes, "DON'T. TOUCH. HER!"
Bullet jumped to his feet smirking and said, "Oh, really…So are you her boyfriend or something? I never thought she was into the skater boy type."
Jack crossed his arms over his tightly worn black undershirt and spat, "I'm not her bofriend, I don't even know who she is."
Bullet then looked over the angry Jack's shoulder to see Kim sitting on a blue sleeping bag watching the brunette's ever move and his. He smirked and said, "Lemme guess the blondie with the brown eyes sitting over on the blue sleeping bag is yours."
Jack said cautiously watching for any suspious moves from Bullet, "Maybe…but you better not TOUCH HER EITHER!"
Bullet retorted, "I can't promise you anything skater boy; I mean she is pretty hot."
At those words Jack snapped he lunged at Bullet, but Bullet easily caught his wrist and kicked him stomachesending Jack to the wall. Jack tried to get up in fight but he was in to much pain; but he kept struggling anyway. Kim became furious with anger she ran at Bullet and lunged at him. He easily flipped her onto the floor. All the teenagers watched in horror and winced as they heard Kim's head hit the floor with a bang. Jack and Blackstar seeing this yelled, "No!" Jack struggled again trying to up from the floor but kept falling back down. Blackstar was using all her strength not caring if she was using a lot of blood or not to get out of the two ninjas grip, but wasn't able to. Kim surprisingly didn't fall unconussious but felt really dizzy. She could feel the blackness trying to take over her. She fought it back though knowing in her heart she was fighting for Jack no matter what happens. She felt Bullet hardly pin her down to the floor. She looked into his green eyes that were exposed through the mask. She thought she would find anger in them but was surprised to find pain and hurt in them like he really didn't want to do what he was doing. Kim was trying to kick him off her but was to dizzy to concentrate. Bullet feeling her struggle pushed down on her pressure point hardly on her neck; knocking her out on the floor.
He got up from Kim and looked over at Blackstar who was still struggling.
Blackstar glared deadly at him and yelled, "What! What did you do to her!"
Bullet smirked and said, "Don't worry I just hit her pressure point nothing more."
Jack then groaned finally getting onto his feet. Bullet heard his groan coming from behind him and ran right over shoving him against the wall. Jack wanted to curse at him but wasn't strong enough to bring out words instead he just groaned in pain. Bullet then stuck shurikens though Jack's black undershirt and sweat pants; making Jack now pinned to the wall.
Blackstar yelled, "what the heck are you doing?"
Bullet turned towards her and said, "My job."
Blackstar exclaimed, "So you're a murderer just like the rest of the fam huh."
Bullet glared and yelled offended, "what! No! I haven't killed anyone!"
Blackstar yelled sarcastically, "Not yet anyway!"
Bullet clenched his fists in anger and turned away from the furious petite girl, he felt so confused and didn't know what to do anymore. He spoke softly, "Let her go."
One of the ninjas holding Blackstar started slightly confused, "But-"
Bullet snapped still turned away from them said, "But nothing follow your order and let her go or I'll report you two to 'Father'!"
Instantly the two ninja guys let go of Blackstar. She fell to the floor on her knees with a thud and started to laugh.
Bullet looked at the blonde girl in confusion and asked, "What's so funny?"
Blackstar looked up at the boy from the floor with a smirk on her face and said, "I was right! Theres still the softie Ja—I mean Bullet in you!"
Bullet in anger said harshly, "Oh yeah well would softie Bullet do this!"
Instantly, Bullet threw a sliver pressured can in the air; he kicked the top off causing a green gas to come out of the can and spread throughout the lunchroom. This gas caused all the teenagers to slowly fall into a deep sleep onto the floor. Blackstar slowly losted consciousness the as blackness took over her. The last thing she saw was Bullet pulling off his mask and seeing a tear roll down his cheek from his right eye with a sasdd expression on his face.
The Next Day…
The next day Blackstar fluttered her eyes opened and took a few minutes to fix her eyes to the bright lights lighting up wherever she was. She then looked around in horror realizing she was back in the place she never wanted to be again since the day she ran away She was back… inside the Black Warrior Dojo.
Ooh…looks like Blackstar got herself into some trouble! She is a tough girl though she can make it through anything even though she's usually winging the whole thing. But….I wonder….what happened to the Wasabi Warriors? So I hope you enjoyed it!=D
