It's been a while. But here's why: I can't freaking stand school anymore. Without the snow days, I'd be out and enjoying my summer. It's so annoying. So here's your next chapter. I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever, but I'm not dead.
Disclaimer: Y'all know it. I don't own anything.
"Jack, come on, go faster!" yelled Kim, anxiously looking at Todd.
"Well I'm sorry if I didn't go fast enough. It's not like I'm entirely confused on what's going on and nobody ever bothered to tell me!" Jack snapped.
"Jack...did you get any texts...lately?" asked Kim.
"Yeah, why?"
"I don't know what's going on either, exactly, but..." Kim lied. She knew what was going on.
"Uh...Kim..." Todd sighed, "you know Zack told you not to tell Jack. Well, I think...I think you should at least tell him the Frank part."
"It's not like that part matters anymore," heaved Kim, glancing out at the sunshine. How could a day possibly be this misleading?
"What?" Jack was curious. Brody looked at Kim and nodded.
"So...there might be this teeny tiny possibility that I was fake dating Frank."
"Teeny tiny?" Brody snorted, "you couldn't even stand the sight of his face when Jack wasn't around to look at you guys."
Jack looked at them. So this was all a fake? Kim wasn't actually dating Frank? Kim didn't actually have feelings for Frank? Kim was available?
"Okay, Brody, who's telling the story? Me or you? Because I'm fine either way, you just gotta tell me."
Brody surrendered. "Fine, you, gosh."
"Anyway, Frank wanted to go on a date with me, as you know. But...he wanted it too much. More than usual."
"A lot more." Brody stepped in. Kim glared at him.
"He...threatened you. He said, if I didn't fake date him, then it's buh bye for you."
"Kim, you know I can take down Frank easily by myself. I can't believe you don't have faith in me. Wow, that hurts," Jack said.
"Okay would anyone else like to tell the story?" Kim yelled.
"Alright! You, Mr. Nobody Has Faith In You, and you, Mr. No Purpose, stop interrupting Miss Crawford here! Do you want to know what happened or not?" Todd yelled.
"I do too have a purpose- never mind," Brody sighed.
"So, he hired Otai Academy students to take you down. Like, legit take you down. No mercy. Apparently they get a free out of jail pass, so murder isn't a problem for them. At least, that's what Sheila said. Thinking about it, she might not be the best source, considering she thinks bacon comes from a chicken...
"To protect you, I had to fake date Frank. I don't know why he thought that would hurt you, it's not like you were extremely jealous or anything..." Yes, Kim was trying to get Jack to contradict that and admit he liked her.
"Oh. My. Gosh. Kim. You. Know. Jack. Likes. You. Why. Are. You. Torture. Ing. Him." Brody said with anger.
"Right...so that was Frank's plan. I wanted to tell you, but then Todd here showed up. Right good time for that, huh?" asked Kim.
"Okay well I'm just going to be the bigger man here and leave Kim and Jack alone. Brody, come with me."
Brody looked at him, confused. "What? But I want to stay- oh..."
He left with Todd.
"I just don't get it. You don't think I can take down Otai students? I got a scholarship there, and you don't believe in me. You got mad at me for going easy on you. Look who's being a hypocrite," Jack said angrily.
"Oh, I get it! So it's my fault that you're not lying in a pool of your own blood!"
"We both know that can't happen. Or at least, if you had faith in me, you'd know."
"Why are you so mad about me having faith? You know I do."
"No. Kim. I don't know, anymore."
Jack turned away, making a rather dramatic statement, if you asked Kim.
They stayed quiet for ten minutes. Finally, Kim sighed.
"You just don't understand," she said, still not facing his way.
"Understand what? That I'm trapped in some sort of cave all because you don't think I'm good at karate? Yeah, must be so hard to understand."
"Just shut up!" Kim yelled, "and listen to me."
Jack huffed, but stayed quiet.
"You don't get what it's like...to think of somebody you care about...a lot...to just get hurt, when you know you can stop it. And you believe in them. But you know that there's that tiny chance that maybe, maybe they wouldn't come out. And it's all your fault."
"I could've done it, Kim. It's not about, like, me in general. It's about you not having faith in me. That part, it really hurts."
"I just thought it was stupid to put you through unnecessary pain."
"Unnecessary pain? Do you know how much seeing you with... never mind..."
"What, Jack?"
"Would you just stop it?!" Jack screamed.
"Stop what?"
"Acting like you don't know! It's so obvious you do."
"Know what?"
"That I like you!"
Silence surrounded them. Of course Kim knew that. It was obvious. She just didn't expect him to say it out loud, at least not yet.
Jack bit his lip nervously. He knew Kim knew. He'd even gone on to hope Kim liked him back. But saying it was a lot different. Now Kim had to reply, and it was either all his dreams came true, he got rejected, or, most likely, he'd get a boring response.
"Oh," she said softly. Of course. Plan C was always the smartest way to go.
He sat there, not saying anything. There was nothing he could say that wouldn't make him look like an idiot. Not unless she said something.
Finally, he couldn't take it. Hoping to do something to the mood, he managed to say, "Well?"
"Well what?" she asked.
"What's with your 'what's?" he countered.
"What do you mean by 'well'?" Kim asked him, still not looking at him even when he turned to look at her.
"Just say something! I told you how I feel about you. Aren't you going to tell me how you feel about me?"
"I care a lot about you. I told you that."
She was the queen of giving little information.
"Kim!" he begged, "if you're going to reject me, do it!" (Lol suck at teenage boy stuff you're just gonna have to deal with my cheesy-ness. Sorry if it makes you cringe.)
"How can I reject you? You never asked me to go out with you."
He sighed. What did it take with this girl?
"Fine! I don't know why you want me to say so if you know you're just going to say no, but will you go out with me?"
"You're so sure I'll say no?"
"I'm not sure of anything right now."
"So what if I said yes?"
"I'd be quite pleased." He was trying not to get too excited. With Kim there were always twists and turns.
"Only quite pleased?"
"In front of you, yes."
"Ah, so when I'm not there?"
"You don't want to know." She laughed at that.
"Well you're stuck with me for a while. I can't tell you why...but you are..." she said.
"Okay."
"Sure."
"Sure what?"
"To your question."
"Which question?"
"I'm not going to answer that. Think of it yourself."
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. I'm just enjoying my moment of finally be calm and not sniffing Frank's sweat. Don't spoil it."
Jack thought about it. He wondered if she meant sure to his question about going out with him. He hoped that was the question she meant. He really hoped.
"To the question about...going out with me?" Jack asked hopefully.
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Yes."
"To what?"
"Oh. My. Gosh. Jack. Brewer. I. Said. Yes. I'll. Go. Out. With. You!" Kim said, "you're even more ignorant than Frank."
Jack didn't even mind the insult as he broke into a grin.
"Yes!" he shouted, starting to do his victory dance.
Kim laughed, "Quite pleased, huh?"
I made this a rather light chapter because Jack asked Kim out. I honestly don't remember how far into their relationship as a whole they've gotten. But here, they're official.
I'm sorry I took so long to update! Like it's been a good two months! That sucks. But seriously, if you want a lot of kick, go on YouTube and search up "Kickin' It The Fault In Our Stars Trailer." I loved it.
AND FOR THE RECORD MAY I JUST SAY? I wish a boy asked me out like Jack asked Kim! Like for real.
I'm going to make this a long author's note, so just skip it if you'd like.
I'm pretty sure you've all heard about the killing in Orlando and the death of Christina Grimmie. I'm super pissed to be honest. Christina was an amazing singer, and it's so stupid. As her coach from the Voice, Adam, said, talent like hers is extremely rare. I started crying when I read the article about her death.
(I'll get to Orlando soon)
If you want info about her death, go and watch a few Clevver videos. Pretty much
- a 27 year old guy killed her
- he had plans to return home
- she tried to hug him when he shot her in the head
- Selena's father was her manager and Selena felt like family to her and started crying on stage
- her brother Marcus probably saved many lives
I'm not going to pretend I knew her personally. I didn't. But I can't help but think, what if this had been someone I knew? A life is a life. A life should be treasured.
Orlando. This LGBTQ thing is ridiculous. I don't care what kind of gender one's true love is. Love is love. Whatever gender one is, just accept it. Fifty people killed, fifty three injured. That's stupid. And unnecessary. I don't exactly know what happened, and not all my sources are credible. But still. Go on Rowan's Twitter if you'd like details. Or do a Google search.
Now onto a lighter topic. Has anyone heard Phoenix? It is literally amazing. Olivia is so talented. I'm excited for her new movie with Ross, Brec, Greg, & Courtney & others.
By the way, if you don't know who Jace Norman is, then I'd suggest finding out.
(I'm going to keep talking so if you're not in the mood, leave! I'll freaking bore you to death!)
Jaceabela is adorable. Jace's Instagram is jacenorman7, and Isabela's is isabelamoner. Isabela is an amazing singer, and Jace is a really good actor. Seriously. I don't like to butter people up. I honestly don't think a lot of Disney stars are good actors. They try too hard. Or maybe they aren't good singers. (I can't sing so I'm not one to judge but still). Check them out.
Now. I heard Tayvin broke up. Oh boy, the break up songs. Can't wait.
I think I'm finished. PHEW.
R & R!
I'M SO SO SO SO SO SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN SO LONG LIKE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW I MISS THIS FANDOM SO MUCH!
And if anyone cares- my other fanfics are probably gonna be updated next week where this girl's gonna be out of school and have nothing but time :D.
