A\N Sorry for being late, usually that's not like me. But I've
been extra lazy\thinking of ideas and trying to get inspired. But
never the less, here's your chapter.
Jack's P.O.V.
I could only stare at Dawn. I was physically and mentally shocked, and then
somehow I found the strength to speak. "You… want to go on a date… with
me?" she just nodded her head and smiled. I was still confused. "So… You
like me?" She just laughed. "No of course not, it's just for fun. You seem so
stressed and who's better for you to have fun with than me?" I smiled as she
pointed to herself. "And besides it'll be a great way for you to get back at
John Johnson if you're still mad." I smiled, she has one of those mischievous
smiles that you couldn't do anything but follow. But I couldn't help but
think she was doing it also for her own reasons. "Why do you want to get
back at him?" she hesitated for a moment, then started to speak. "I want to
get back at him because even though I've only been at the school for 3 days
I can see that he's bad for Kim. We need to get rid of him." I smiled at her,
but it was mostly because of satisfaction and surprise. She was probably the
only girl that didn't like him and saw past his 'amazing charm'. She noticed
me smiling at her, and seemed to get a little self-conscious. "What?"
"Nothing, it's just that… you're so different from other girls." I said finally
speaking my thoughts. She looked at me for a while, and then smiled. "I was
wondering when you were going to figure that out." I laughed and her eyes
seemed to laugh with me. "So you ready for operation 'Bring down John'"?
She asked me as she held out her hand. "Definitely," I said shaking her hand
"but next time, let me choose the code names." I said to her smirking.
"Deal." And with that, we decided to go over to her house, to form the plan.
When we got to her house she opened the door with her key and stepped
right in. I stopped for a moment, I felt a tad bit uncomfortable being in her
house for the first time without her mom there. But then I shrugged the
feeling off. We've been alone in my house plenty of times before, and I'm
positive her mom wouldn't mind me being in her house. I followed behind
her taking everything in. It reminded me of my house, but in a way that I
couldn't grasp fully. She asked me a question, interrupting my thought. "So
where do you want to work?" I looked around, and then shrugged my
shoulders. "Anywhere is fine with me." I followed her into what seemed to
be the living room. She plopped herself down on the sofa and I did the same.
"So what's the plan?" I asked her. She thought for a moment, "Well I don't
know exactly what yet, but I know he isn't the person he seems to be, we
just have to find a way to expose who he really is." I nodded in an
agreement. "Kim definitely doesn't need a guy like that. He would never
make her happy." Dawn turned to look at me. "Well what kind of guy would
make her happy?" she asked "Since you're the expert." She added on
smiling. I smiled and began to think. "Well she needs a guy that understand
her, and who's interested in what she's interested in. so that will have a
common ground, so that when she gets upset he would know how to calm
her. He has to know her weaknesses but he needs to be strong enough to
keep anything and everything away from ever finding out. Also a guy that
lets her be her own." After I finished I turned to Dawn, she look surprised.
Honestly I was a bit surprised myself. "Are you sure you don't like her?"
"Positive." I said with every bit of confidence but with a faking smile. Then
I added. "I'm her best friend, I know this." She just shrugged then the door
opened revealing Dawn's mother. At first Dawn's mom looked surprised to
see, but then she smiled. "Hey mom!" Dawn said smiling, as usual. "Hi, Ms.
White." I waved showing a smile too. "Hey guys and Jack please, just call
me Casey." I smiled and nodded my head. After that her mom walked into
the kitchen. Then I noticed the clock. It was almost 9. "Hey Dawn, I gotta
go. Tell me the plan at school tomorrow, before double-period history
okay?" "Okay. Cool." She said as she walked me to the door, when I was
outside, I turned around "You're not going to be late again are you?" I asked
Dawn raising my eyebrows. "I'll try not to." She smiled. And she closed to
door and I turned to go home.
Next Morning
I woke up at 7am in a fair mood. I was sad that Kim and I haven't been
talking since the kiss, but I was happy because Dawn would have a plan for
today. I slid out of bed, showered, dressed in a purple and white checkered
shirt un-buttoned with a dark purple vest on the inside. I slid into blue jeans
and purple sneakers to seal the outfit, then I brushed my teeth tried to tame
my hair so it looked some-what presentable and headed downstairs to my
waiting mom sitting at the kitchen table with breakfast ready. I sat down and
started eating a few pieces of bacon, but with my mom staring at me; it
began to get a little weird. "What is it?" I asked her. She just smiled. "What
going on?" I asked her again. "I heard you were at Dawn's house yesterday."
Ohhh so that was what this was about. I should have known. Mom always
does this. "Yeah, we hung out all day yesterday." Bad mistake saying that. A
smile spread across my mother's face. "Aw. Doing what?" I shook my head
knowing what she was thinking. "Mom all we did was hang out as friends.
Nothing more." But it was like she didn't even hear me. "Aw, Jackie!" I
sighed "Mom please don't call me that." I said as she got up. "Well too bad I
already did," she laughed then kissed my cheek, "go on now, you're going to
be late for school." She was right, an di just remembered I had to cover some
important things. "Bye mom!" I called as I grabbed my skateboard and went
out the door. Seeing that it was almost 8, I rushed in school just in time for
the bell the ring.
1 and 2 period went fast considering the fact that I was completely zoned out
constantly thinking about what type of information Dawn might have for
me. But while walking to my locker to meet Dawn, a thought came into my
head. I have double-period history with Kim. I've forgotten all about her. I
wonder if she'll talk to me this time. Well, either she's going to have to
because we have that project to work on. I stopped at my locker and waited
for Dawn, but while doing so Kim walked pass, going in the direction of
history. She glanced at me and waved, I slightly waved back. Then a fact of
realization came into mind. I miss her being my best friend. But then I
thought again.I groaned and leaned my head back hitting it again the locker.
I don't even miss her being my best friend. I just miss the her she used to be.
A/N Ugh honestly, I'm not fond of this chapter. I had to write
it over and over to get it just right. But anyway, Jack and
Dawn formed an alliance and now are working to bring down
John. Jack THINKS he's doing it just because he's bad for
Kim, but he doesn't really know why. And will Dawn stick by
his side to get Kim back to her rightful place at Jack's side.
Review and tell me what you think
