A Promise Is A Promise
Hey! So this is a story I just loved the idea of. It's really different, but I love it so bear with me.
"Jack! Give it back!" Kim's voice rang echoed through the crowded halls of Seaford High, attracting everyone's attention. Most just smile and shook their heads at the crazy best friends, but one particular girl had rage swarm up and around her. Her name was Lindsey. She happened to be Jack's current girlfriend, not that it was that serious to him. Lindsey though didn't want to share him, AT ALL. That included with his best friend.
Kim finally got her binder back by jumping on Jack's back and clinging onto him like a monkey. And despite Jack's best efforts, he couldn't shake Kim off of him. He ended up giving her the binder and setting her back down on the ground again. He then pulled her into a warm hug before she dashed off to class.
His eyes followed her down the hallway, watching her form with her bouncing ponytail. He then dazed out a bit thinking about his best friend a bit too much. He was then yanked out of his daze by a forceful pull on his arm and two lips being smashed onto his. His eyes widened and he took a step back, telling Lindsey that he had to get to class.
A shocked look crossed her face as her boyfriend walked down the hall blatantly ignoring her. How could he do such a thing? Ignoring his own girlfriend. He loved her-not that he ever said that-but she assumed so. So why would he ignore her? It couldn't be because of Kim, could it? Could that southern-belle blonde really be keeping Jack away from her? If it is so, it won't be like that forever…
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooo
It was lunchtime and Jack and Kim were fighting again. This time over Jack's chocolate chip muffin. Jack was trying desperately to keep the muffin on his plate, but it appeared a losing battle. Then, all of a sudden, Kim quit. Jack breathed a sigh of relief. "Finally! Why do you want my muffin anyway?" Kim answered quickly as if the answer was obvious. "Because your mom makes the best ones in the whole world! Now give me that!" Kim reached over, snatched Jack's muffin and stuffed it in her mouth before Jack could realize what happened.
Bits and pieces of muffin fell out of her mouth and Jack laughed at his best friend as she desperately tried to keep the pieces in. "And that's why you don't steal my muffin." He said giving her a napkin. "Eh, it was worth it. I got to taste it's deliciousness and you didn't!" "Oh really?" She nodded. "How do you know that I don't have more in my backpack?" "You have more? Give me 'em!" She said this while climbing over Jack's lap trying to get the muffins from his bag. "Nope." He said, grabbing her waist and pulling her away from his backpack. This landed Kim cozily in Jack's lap.
The doors of the cafeteria burst open and Lindsey came in wearing a cheerleading outfit 3 sizes to small for her. The whole cafeteria was staring at her except for a certain brunette still staring at his best friend sitting on his lap. A blush creeped across his cheeks as Lindsey spotted the two best friends, sitting cozily near each other. Lindsey let out a shriek, stormed over to the two and yanked Kim from his lap sending her into a pile of food on the floor. Lindsey then proceed to takes Kim's place in Jack's lap.
Kim, finding her skinny jeans and tank top ruined by the food, slowly got up from the floor. As she popped her head up she saw Lindsey place a long, gross, kiss on Jack's lips. A tear fell from Kim's eye as she walked off to the bathroom, ready to clean the goop off of her clothes.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooo
The next day Kim walked into school to be greeted by a poster that announced the upcoming prom. She heaved a sigh as a memory came swirling back to her.
flashback: "Common Kim, he's a jerk! Who else would break up with such a beautiful girl just because some other stupid girl told him she'd let him do so much more with her! He's a dick! Common, you gotta stop crying!" Jack held her tight as tears continued to fall from her eyes and sobs escaped her mouth. "But he said this could work! He said we'd go to Prom together!" She cried out. "He said this would last. And it's all my fault!" "It's not! He's the one that broke up with you! Over some stupid girl!" Jack sighed as Kim continued to wail, the tears couldn't seem to stop falling.
"Kim, would it help if I took you? To prom, you know." Jack asked her. The tears slowed as she looked up at her best friend. "That would help, thank you, Jack. Just please don't abandon me." "I wouldn't think of it. I promise I'll take you to prom no matter what the circumstance is with you. I'm not gonna let some douche ruin your night!" The tears slowly dried as she cuddled closer to him. That night the two fell asleep in each others arms.
end of flashback
A frown fell across her face. Jack had a girlfriend though. And even though he didn't consider it serious Lindsey would drag him to it with her anyway. And it's not like Jack remembered that night anyway.
"Kim! Kim!" Jack came running up to the blonde. "Did you hear about the prom?" "Yeah, looks I gotta go find some guy to take me to it. "What? Why? What about our deal? I said I was taking you! I already bought the tickets!" Kim stopped and stared at him for a moment, not believing he even remembered that talk. "I remember the deal Jack, but you have a girlfriend. I can't let you take me when you should be taking her." "Kim I promised you and I'm not about to break that promise, girlfriend or not." "Really?" "Really." A grin spread across her face. Kim reached her arms around his neck and gave him a quick hug before running down the hallway once again.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo
"WHAT!" Lindsey's shriek forced people to cover their ears with their hands. "I'm sorry Lindsey, but I promised Kim. You'll just have to find another date." "Hmph. I heard that Mike the quarterback still needed a date." She attempted trying to make him jealous enough to change his mind. She got the reverse. "Have fun." Jack told her before walking off.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo
It was the day of the prom and school had just ended. Lindsey had tried several more times to get Jack to go with her before giving up and taking Mike up on him offer. The students were buzzing with excitement, happy that the day had finally come.
A certain pair of best friends couldn't be happier as they got ready for their night. Jack made sure his tux matched the color dress Kim had told him. Both looked in the mirror and checked their hair one more time before giving a smile.
Jack then headed to the limo his grandfather had ordered while Kim sat on her bed waiting for Jack to arrive. Some time later the doorbell rang and Kim's parents were greeted pleasantly by Jack. He was told she'd be down in a minute before they called her name up the stairs.
Jack looked up just as Kim appeared at the top of the stairwell wearing a lavender dress. His mouth fell open as she came into full view walking down the stairs. "Wow." He breathed. He took her hand and leant down and kissed it, acting like a posh British person. She giggled. He twirled her around as her parents filmed "their baby" at such a landmark in her life.
AN: I am NOT saying british people are posh. I was just saying that Jack was acting like a goof.
After several minutes of pictures Jack and Kim finally escaped to the limo waiting outside. "You truly look gorgeous, Kim" Jack told the now blushing blonde. "You don't look too bad yourself." She replied. "I look good, don't I" Jack said straightening his jacket. Kim reached over and punched his arm. He faked pain. "Don't get cocky." She told him flatly.
Minutes later the two arrived at the prom. They found their friends and table and chatted with them for awhile. Halfway through Jack and Kim finally decided to join their classmates on the dance floor. The song was fast and jumpy and they had fun doing wild crazy dances, not caring how bad they were. Meanwhile, Lindsey was still trying to get Jack's attention. This she did by grinding against her date WAY too forcefully. Jack appeared to not notice, all his attention on the blonde in front of him, the one he loved.
Suddenly a slow song came on and Jack pulled Kim closer to him as they swayed to the music, foreheads resting together. "You did see Lindsey, right?" Kim whispered to him, afraid being to loud would break the moment. "I did. I have a feeling that she won't be my girlfriend tomorrow." He whispered back. "And why is that" She asked him. "Because I'll have a new one." Jack told her before leaning in and connecting their lips in a passionate kiss.
