1 Week Later...
So far everything had been going great, Jack and I were still close and if anything we were better friends because of it, he and Kim were both still playing around but even I knew it would only be a matter of time,
"Hey Danny can I talk to you?" Kim asked as school ended, I nodded "Well...it's just a little thing and I will completely understand if you say no but is it okay if I ask Jack to be my date for the cotillion?" she asked hopefully,
I smiled and nodded "Kim it's fine, we broke up a week ago and honestly you don't have to ask me" I said reasuringly, she nodded and sighed in relief "Thank you" she said, I shrugged
"It's okay, but I gotta warn you he cannot dance to save his life" I said, she chuckled "Don't worry, I just really wanna go with someone you know?" she asked, I nodded "Hey are you going?" she asked as we headed to the dojo, I shrugged "I don't know, probably but only because I have nothing to do Saturday night" I replied, she nodded.
At The Dojo...
Kim headed over to Jack and I stayed by the entrance "Oh hey Kim, check out the new peg board, it is a great upper body work out" Jack said "Ohh, so that's what that things for, Rudy's been drying his sweaty socks on it" Kim said, Jack looked at the pegs disgustedly "Oh I knew these pegs smelt feety" he said before going back on the board "So uh Jack you wanna hang out Saturday night?"
Kim asked a little nervous "Yeah sure what d'you wanna do?" he asked still quite high up on the board "I don't know...hey we could swing by the Riverside Country Club and check out the Swan Court Cotillion or somethin'?" she asked hopefully, Jack suddenly fell off the board landing back first on the floor "Jack are you okay?" Kim asked, he stood up
"Uh yeah I'm fine...but I am not going to any ball, I hate tuxedo's I can't dance and oh one more thing, I am a dude. Dude's don't go to Cotillions" he said, I rolled my eyes and decided to make an entrance with Milton and a dancing Jerry "They probably don't have anything to do this Saturday" Jack said going back over to the wall
"Actually we got roped into going to the Swan Court Cotillion" Milton admitted, I giggled and sat down on the bench "Really? You guys are goin' to the cotilion?" Kim asked while giving Jack a look, he rolled his eyes and started climbing the peg board "My mom is making me take her bosses dorky daughter" Milton said "And I'm taking her dorkier friend"
Jerry added in annoyence "Why are you going?" I asked not seeing the point "Cuz Milton's giving me 60 bucks and lettin' me watch his turtles go at it" he replied proudly, I rolled my eyes and Rudy walked out of the office with a pair of socks "Oh Jack glad your up there, hang these socks up there to dry for me would yah?" Rudy asked, he balled them up and threw them to Jack who caught them
"Their all wet" he whined "It's just a pair of socks dude man up" Jerry said looking up at Jack, he suddenly had a sock in his mouth and I gagged "It's actually kinda nice" he admitted, I gagged again
"Well I don't know about you guys but I'm gonna head home" I said getting up "Hey Danny can you feed Banana? He's been eating a lot lately" Rudy said, I nodded "Sure, see yah guys" I said waving, they all waved back and I left the dojo.
The Next Day...
I sat with the boys at lunch because Kim was no where to be seen "I think your dates are here" Jack said amused, I looked to the entrance of the cafeteria to see two geeky girls "Here come the nerd herd"
Milton groaned, the girls walked over and stood behind them "Hey Milton, Hi Jerry" the blonde with the large head thing greeted "Jennie, wow rockin' some new head gear?" Jerry asked "My dentist said I was born with 7 extra mollers, and only 5 of them are in my mouth" she said excitedly "Where are the other two?" Jerry asked as though he wasn't sure he wanted to know
"Their in my uvula" she replied, the boys gagged and I held back my own "Hey Milton" the other girl with long brown hair and thick glasses said "Hey Carrie, those are some pretty thick glasses" Milton said "Not even, my thick glasses are in my locker, these are my sexy ones" she replied "See you saturday guys, can't wait to get our swan on" Jennie said,
she and Carrie laughed but it was high pitched and very annoying, they walked away laughing and Jerry looked like he wanted to die "Man what did you get us into?" he asked looking at Milton "Wow, there's Kim I'll see you guys" Jack said heading over to her, I picked up my food and noticed the boys watching me "Aren't you jealous?" Milton asked,
I looked up at him and shrugged "Not really" I replied, he nodded "I don't know how you do it Danny, if it was me I would be going crazy" he said, I rolled my eyes "Milton it's okay, I don't mind it I'm actually glad he likes her" I said, his eyes widened a little "So Danny you goin' to the cotillion?" Jerry asked, I shrugged again "I don't know" I replied
"You know if I wasn't going to the cotillion with the dork I'd ask you" he said, I smiled a little "Look it's okay, I'll probably go anyway" I said, he nodded and I carried on with my food.
Later On...
I was walking to the dojo with Jack and he seemed a little ticked off "..this guy seems like a douche" he exclaimed, I rolled my eyes "Jack your the one that turned Kim down remember?" I asked recapping him, he nodded "I know" he sighed "Just let her go with this guy, she'll have fun and you do not want her to be miserable" I said,
he nodded and we walked into the dojo, there was slow music playing and I noticed Kim in the middle of the dojo with some guy "Woah woah what's going on?" Jack asked as he turned off the music
"Uh were practicing our dancing for the cotillion" Kim said in a duh tone "Well not in here your not, this is a dojo brochacho" Jack said looking directly at the guy Kim was with, he was actually quite cute "Anyways, Danny this is Brody my date for the cotillon, Brody this is my best friend Danny" Kim said motioning to us, I nodded "Nice to meet you" I said
"You too" he replied, he and Kim walked away but Jack seemed to be feeling persitant "You ever been in a karate dojo before Brody?" Jack asked "Acually this is my first time in a dojo" Brody said giving Jack a bit of attitude, Kim's phone beeped and she opened it "Oh it's my mom, she found me a great dress for the cotillion, I gotta go try it on, see yah tomorrow Brody..."
Kim said with a dreamy look on her face "Jack" she said glaring at him, she waved at me on her way out and I waved back "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna get to work" Jack said heading over to the boards, I rolled my eyes and sat on the bench while facing him, he broke the boards in half and I knew he was trying to show off
"Wow, three boards, I don't know anything about karate but that's pretty impressive" Brody said "Yup that's how I role, I'm gonna go get changed" Jack said going into the changing rooms,
Brody glanced at him before turning to me "Does he have something agains't me?" he asked, I chuckled and stood up "No, he's a little jealous" I said shrugging, he nodded "So are you going to the cotillion with anyone?" he asked, I shook my head "Nope" I said heading for Rudy's office "It's a shame, your cute" he said smirking, I clicked my tongue and walked into the office.
