Monday rolled around, and Kennedy was at her locker getting her books out of her locker. "You can't avoid me forever." Kennedy looked up and saw Jennifer standing there. "What the hell is happening with you and the loser? You never texted me back. My brother saw you at the wrestling Friday night.. Did he make you go?"

Kennedy wanted to laugh in her face. "Yeah, I went to the wrestling Friday night.. what about it? I wanted to see what the fuss was, and I enjoyed it. I had a chat with Jon in the library Friday afternoon because he was there – and turns out he isn't as much as a loser as you all think."

Jon walked by as she spoke. He smiled at her, as he walked into the biology lab. Kennedy slammed her locker closed, and followed him into Biology, leaving Jennifer standing there, her jaw hitting the floor.

"You've got balls," Jon laughed as he sat at the back of the room. "Big, hairy, full ones."

"You're disgusting" Jennifer rolled her eyes as she walked into the room. "You were better, no, more tolerable when you didn't know Kiki." Jennifer went to sit next to Kennedy, who got up and walked to the back of the room, next to Jon. "What the fuck?!"

Kennedy put her books on the table, and her bag on the floor. Jon was really quite ecstatic. "You do realise that you're going to be on my level now, yeah?" He whispered into her ear. "You're gonna be a looooser."

"I've been a loser since Friday." She let out a giggle – which made Jennifer turn back around to shoot a glare. Kennedy felt her phone vibrate. U r so not cool. "Thanks girl, love you too. MWAH!"

She felt the daggers that were also known as Jennifer's eyes. The teacher walked into class, and class began.

I found that piece of paper in my car, btw. Kennedy passed him a note. Jon hid his face after he read it.

Oh shit, really? Should keep my bag zipped just so the others don't fall out. Jon passed it back, and Kennedy tried to contain her laughter.

You're such a dickhead. Almost stalker-like. Jon looked at the note and wriggled his eyebrows.

"Alright class, time to do the experiment." The teacher spoke. The class began to get loud.

"Okay, you're dissecting this poor animal." Kennedy called dibs. She smiled at Jon.

"I'm not dissecting the animal." Jon screwed his nose up. He looked at Kennedy who looked like she was getting queasy just from looking at it. "Fine, I'll dissect it."

"Yes, yes you are." She smiled. Jon looked at the animal, then looked at Kennedy. "slicey-dicey-micey" Kennedy giggled.

"You're so different." Jennifer spoke as she walked over to the back desk. "You're not even…you."

Without missing a beat, Kennedy responded. "Have you ever thought that maybe this is me, and I'm not who you once thought I was?" She looked up, gave a small smile before going back to watching Jon trying not to cut himself.

He managed to dissect the animal – which was a lot more difficult than usual because he had Kennedy next to him, watching every move, which made him anxious. He was nervous about wrestling on Friday, because chances were that she'd be there.

"I've decided something," Jon announced as the two left the biology lab once the bell rang. "Important something."

"Oh yeah, and what's that?" Kennedy laughed softly as they walked outside to lunch. Jon didn't speak a word until they were under a large oak tree in the field.

"I'm thinking that on Friday night after my match, that we go out clubbing, or something. Yes, we're underage – but I know people who know people.."

"Oh yeah?" Kennedy smiled as she offered him a piece of watermelon from her fruit salad. "Is this you asking me out?" She raised an eyebrow, trying to mask her excitement.

"Do you want me to ask you out?" Jon deflected, a smile just stuck on his face. Kennedy looked down as she put a grape in her mouth. "I'm just going to take your silence as a yes, because there's no way you'd risk your social status to date an outcast like me." He beamed as he took a grape from her fruit salad and ate it.

Jon was still surprised that she didn't turn around and say 'no'. "Oh!" Kennedy remembered something. She pulled out a container that had a sandwich and a small tub of fruit in it. "I remembered hw you don't always get to eat, so I made you lunch." She smiled.

Jon was touched – no-one really cared about whether he ate or not. His eyes began to fill, and kennedy pouted. "I'm sorry." She embraced him in a hug. "I didn't mean to make you cry."

"It's not that you're making me cry – and you've got nothing to be sorry about. I'm touched that you care – no-one really does." He looked at her. Kennedy smiled, kissed his forehead and tussled his hair.

"I know that you're a tough cookie, but I know when someone breaks you in half – not literally – there's an ooey-gooey centre." Kennedy laughed as she checked her phone. She had a few messages from her 'popular' crowd. She put the phone down without even reading them. Kennedy got up to go put something in the rubbish bin, when Jon looked at the messages – he didn't mean to, but something in Kennedy's eyes gave away that it was nothing good.

Mom: I hear about you dating some…lowlife loser? We will talk when you're home.

Jen: I told your parents about you and loser-boy. You're gonna be in for it now.

Elle: Tsk tsk tsk.

Jon closed the phone with seconds to spare as Kennedy came back. He seemed deflated. Was he really that bad of a person for her friends to turn on her instantly?

"What's wrong?" Kennedy asked, looking at him cross legged. Jon looked at the time, and it was almost time for literature. He shook his head, and Kennedy took the hint. She began to pack her things in her bag, and looked at the time on her phone. "I'll meet you at class." She waved at him as she walked back inside the school. Jon watched her leave, and he knew that it was going to be one of the hardest decisions of his life.
