A/N I wasn't going to post this today, but I looked ahead, and this chapter is pretty short. Also, the next chapter is pretty long, so this is the evenest (apparently that is a word?) way to do it. Please review and enjoy this story, I don't own Kickin it, you know the drill.

Also, I really like this story, if you are reading for Kick, this does have a really cute moment (I think) and it turned out better than I thought it would.

After lunch everyone left except Jack. I started to get up but he put a hand on my shoulder and forced me back down.

"What?" I asked, annoyed.

"Clearly you're not good. What happened while you were gone?" He asked.

Jack was with me yesterday, I guess he should know what happened. "Okay, I went to my locker and found this note but just ignored it. Then I went to the bathroom but someone was in a closet and pulled me inside. It was that Tom Alston from yesterday and he said I was in danger. I told him about the note but I didn't tell him what it said or where it was. Then I left and that was all. I guess it just kinda was a little creepy."

"Kim! That's a big deal! He's from the CIA! Yesterday was weird, but there has to be something going on if he came back. To the school. The day you get a note too!" Jack said. "Do you have the note?"

"Yeah."

"Give it to me," Jack said, no, demanded. He had this tone that reminded me of a Dad speaking to his stubborn daughter.

I handed it to him and he read it. Without warning, he grabbed me in a really tight hug.

"Kim, we need to figure this out. Promise me that you'll be careful until we do though? Don't walk home by yourself anymore, don't talk to strangers either," he started.

"Jack! I'll be careful! You know that! I feel like you're my dad though. I can handle myself!" I argued.

"I know, but maybe imagine me as a big brother. A friend, but someone who also cares about your safety at all times."

"Thanks," I said. Realizing I just got major friend zoned.

"What's wrong?" Jack asked.

"It's just I think of you as more than just a friend!" I suddenly blurted out.

"Really?" He said quietly. "Well, I don't have to be your brother. Maybe distant… cousin?"

"I have a better idea," I said looking into his eyes. "What about," I paused. Do I say it?

"Boyfriend?" I looked at his face, seeing if he would show any reaction, but he didn't.

"Boyfriend? Hm, I like that!" He decided.

"Really?!" I asked.

"Why not?" He said. He grabbed me into another hug from under my arms and I grabbed his neck. He stood up and swung me around. He gave me a kiss on the forehead before the bell rang.

We grabbed our bags and Jack put his arm around me and walked me to class.
