Author's Note:

It's Friday! Ugh. That song… Anyways, I have so far kept my promise about updating every Friday for my enthusiastic followers. You guys really get into the characters! And I am so happy for that! It's great to know that people are enjoying my writings.

It's raining and storming and windy and whatnot where I am. So I decided I should sit back, type, and let you all read my continuation of my masterpiece.

Well, here's the next chapter of Secrets Don't Keep Friends. Please please please review. With a cherry on top? I don't have any cherries, but they are my favorite fruit.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kickin' It.

Kim P.O.V.

His face kept replaying in my head.

"Aram? As in my dad Aram?" He looked so disappointed. So angry. So confused? I don't know. I'm guessing that he wasn't a huge fan of his father.

I was now passing Captain Corndog while Jack was probably explaining to Donna that 1 was smaller than 2. I noticed that the dojo was right in front of me. Rudy went through the storage closet putting away something that looked like a vacuum. I needed somebody to talk to about my Jack dilemma. I guess Rudy is the closest thing I have to father. Maybe I should talk to him? But it's Rudy. He's a single 30 year-old who most-likely calls his mommy every morning and night. But it wouldn't hurt to try.

I walked in the front when I heard Rudy yelling at me from across the dojo. "Don't wear shoes! I just cleaned the mats! Jeez! Can't you see how sparkling clean it is?!" He asked gesturing towards the mats. To be honest, I couldn't tell the difference. There was still dirt and sweat stains. And the same couple drops of blood Jerry got from fighting Jack, thinking he was "macho" enough.

"Sorry. Rudy? Can I ask you a question?"

"You just asked two?"

"No. This is a serious matter."

"Ok. What's wrong," He asked concerned.

"Let's say hypothetically a guy didn't want to see his dad but his girlfriend found him and wanted them to reunite?"

"That's a pretty specific hypothetical question. I would say you would have to figure out how the relationship was before the two split."

"Ok. And one more question?"

"Sure," he said getting the vacuum back out from the closet.

"Let's say hypothetically that a girl and a guy were going out for a couple of days but their friends didn't know about it."

"And?" Rudy asked.

"Well, what should they do?"

"That's an obvious one. If you both agree, tell the friends. Does this have something to do with Jack?"

"No. Just my… uh, my Uncle Zack. Yeah. He and grandpa…" I didn't finish my sentence because I didn't know how to finish it. I've never lied to Rudy and hoped I never would. But that didn't work out to well.

"I thought those were hypothetical questions."

"Please. Rudy, what girl asks hypothetical questions that are truly hypothetical?"

"My mom."

Really Rudy? You and your mom. I wouldn't be surprised if he lived with her. Or the other way around.

"Ok. Well I'm going to go," I said.

I walked out of the dojo taking a deep breath. I hadn't realized I hadn't had oxygen flow through my lungs since, "This is a serious matter." I can hold my breath really long if I don't think about it. Anyways, I went back home, did my after school/before bed routine and tucked in early. I fell asleep thinking about telling the guys about me Jack. I was sure that Jack would love to do that same, right? I know how he works. Although, I think I got it wrong on his dad. But you can never know for sure until you go straight to the source.

*Before Home-ec*

I found Jack from across the hall about to walk to his locker. I rushed up to him and tapped his left shoulder.

"Hey!" I said excited about what was going to happen next.

"Hi," He responded droned out.

"I think it's time," I said still walking with him towards his locker. I noticed that Jerry, Eddie, and Milton were all waiting. Perfect.

"For what?" he asked.

"You'll see," I said flirtatiously.

I reached down to grab his hand but he flinched his hand back the moment our skin came in contact. I shook off the rejection and continued to walk up to the guys.

"Hey hey!" I said full with joy.

"Hi," the three said in unison, confused to my happiness.

"So I have some news for you." I looked at Jack. "We are going out-"

"Side!" Jack continued. He said it so fast after me that it sounded like we both said "outside". "I heard a rumor going around that after the projects, we will start earth science and go outside for class," He said nervously.

What? What was he talking about? I smiled back at everyone and they all looked pretty convinced.

"That's pretty cool," Jerry said.

"No more stuffiness," Eddie added.

"Aw man! I have allergies. Pollen and ragweed mixed with me is not a good formula," Milton complained.

"It's only a rumor," Jack assured them. "We don't know for sure. We'll just have to wait and see."

The two-minute warning bell rang. Meaning that there were only two minutes until next period. We all walked in our separate directions except for me and Jack.

"What was that?" I asked.

"What do you mean?"

"How come you don't want our friends to know that we are going out?"

There was a silence. Not a peep coming from Jack's mouth. The only sounds audible were the muffles and footsteps of our classmates hurrying to get to their classes. Jack was looking down at the ground. Looking ashamed. I went full blast on him. Now thinking I know what was happening.

"You're mad at me aren't you?" I asked.

He looked up from his shoes and met my eyes.

"No," he simply answered.

"Yeah. You are. You're mad that I found Aram. If it makes you feel any better I won't talk about him, I won't tell you where he is, and I won't tell him where you are. It is obvious you and Aram aren't exactly buddy buddy."

Silence. About 6 seconds of nothing came out of his pie-hole.

"It's not that I'm mad about Aram. I'm not mad at all."

"Then what's wrong?" I asked loudly and irritated.

He was thinking. I could tell. His eyes were moving slightly left to right. He was looking for the right words I was guessing.

"We aren't going out," He finally said.

"What do you mean?"

"We aren't going out. How much more clear can I be?"

"Are you breaking up with me?" I asked. I could feel my eyes burn. Tears were threatening to come out. But I had to stay strong.

"No. We were never going out in the first place."

"What? We made out, we had sex, we were nearly skinning dipping," I reminded him. Counting the things off my fingers.

"I know. It was just a few best friend moments," He said calmly.

The tears in my eyes nearly sizzled up. Moments? What? I was angry.

"We had moments? So we are like friends with benefits?" I asked in shock.

"No. We are just really good friends that had a couple mistakes."

Having the best weekend of my life was a mistake? How could he say that? I was in complete and utter shock.

"Ok. I'll see you in H.E….Buddy," I replied. I walked off ahead of Jack. Before he got into Home-ec, I asked the teacher to switch partners. I was now gladly with Brody, while Jack would be stuck with Margaret. He would have so much fun with that crazy loon since that boulder nearly hit her while she was doing a news story. I wouldn't be around my "best friend" anymore. I couldn't. Not with what he did to me. He says we weren't going out in the first place and said we had "moments". What are freaking moments anyways? Moments as in "We got caught up in the moment"? That sounds like an excuse that someone would say when their girlfriend/boyfriend caught them cheating. We got caught up in the moment. For one there were many moments if we had any. But moments? That isn't exactly a good excuse to break up with me saying we are only really good friends.

Something didn't seem right. This wasn't the Jack I know. He either has been forced to do this or has multiple personalities. I would have to talk to the guys about this. Besides me, they are the closest people he has. Or I could go to his mom. His mom would tell me everything and anything. But since the incident I don't think she would let me come close to her house again. Or Jack convinced her nothing was happening. Jack is pretty good at convincing. He convinced me last Sunday when we had… never mind. It was only a moment. Nothing more. Or was it? I had to straighten this out, once and for all.
