Kick and Alexis made their way to the food court. "You find us seats and I'll get us something to drink" Alexis said as she walked away towards the beverages before Kick could protest. He was uncomfortable with a girl is treating him to a drink and not the other way around. He found a secluded table at the back and waited for Alexis to return. Kick was busy sending Gunther a text message saying he will be delayed and hadn't notice Alexis place his drink in front of him and made her way to her seat. They chatted mostly about Kicks career and she even asked him for his autograph. "So how old are you? If you don't mind me asking" he asked. "Well I'll be turning 16 this weekend. My mum decided to throw me a huge party at the country club this Saturday, which is why my aunt will be dropping in from New York today" she replied. "You should come, everyone will love to meet my new friend" she smiled. "I'd love to" he said hesitantly. "But the country club is just not my scene, if you know what I mean" he said. "I understand totally, I didn't want to either but my mom can be really pushy sometimes" she said. Kick thought more about Kendal and compared her to Alexis, they are complete opposites. He took a sip of his Cheetah Chug and smiled and asked, "How did you know that this is the only thing I like?" "Well it no secret, I read about you online all the time. Sometimes I wish I could be exactly like you" she said as she looked him in the eye. "You mean famous?" he asked. "No, I mean a stuntwomen or a daredevil" she said. Kicks jaw dropped to the floor. "What? What did I say? Is there something on my face?" she asked now stunned at Kicks reaction. "No, it's just that I've known your family since I was little and they are a bunch of bookworms, No offence" he said. "None taken. I know what you mean. But my mom forbids me to even think about it. She doesn't even know I've been down Widow Makers Peak." She said proudly. "Figures" he remarked as he rolled his eyes. "She says there's no future for such acts. Aaarg sometimes I just want to scream" she said now frustrated. "But surprisingly my aunt has been supportive of my dreams. We're pretty close you know" she smiled. This caught Kicks attention. "Really?" he asked. "Yeah she is. She's awesome. Even though she lives in New York she's really down to earth" she said. Kick was intrigued by her aunt. They continued talking about the life of a daredevil and he told her about Scarlet. He told her how he met her back when he younger and how she moved on to do great things in Hollywood. She was drawn to his every word. He took another sip of his drink and told her "Nothing beats a Cheetah Chug". "I beg to differ, it's made from real cheetah sweat you know which is utterly repulsive" came a voice from behind him. Kick looked up and thought "Can it be? Kick turned around and found one Kendall Perkins sipping a…. "But it doesn't taste all that bad…mmm" was Kendall's response. Alexis got up and hugged her aunt and introduced Kick. "Kendall?" Kick now gob smacked. "Hello Clarence" came her reply "Well it's nice to see you too" she said. "Some things just never change hey Clarence?" she asked. I'm just surprised that's all" he said sincerely. "It's great to see you" he said now smiling. "And by the way, you are the second person to call me Clarence since High School" he replied now laughing. "Your niece here beat you to it. I guess some things really don't change" he said wiggling his eyebrows. "Guess not" she said smiling. "So how have you been Kendal?" she asked. "I'm well thanks as you can see. Just flew in from NY for Alexis' birthday, who you've already met." she said now looking at Alexis. They sat together and ended up talking for hours and eventually having lunch as well. "It was nice to see you Kick and thanks for watching out for my niece" she said sincerely. "You're welcome" he said. "Come on Lex, Lets get going, your mother's probably going crazy." She said. Alexis nodded and they said there goodbyes. Kick watched as Kendal left. There's something different about her now, she's definitely changed! He stared at her as she walked towards the exit. She wore a deep blue skinny fit jean, a loose white top, her hair tied into a high ponytail and high-heeled boots. She was definitely hotter than anyone he's seen in Mellowbrook he thought. "Wait sec, this is Kendal Perkins, snob queen! But a hot, less snobbish version. Pull yourself together Kick. Get your head out of the gutter" he mumbled to himself. He made his way out of the mall and to the ER where Alice still had that coin up her nose. He mounted his bike and took off. Kendal watched as she waited for Alexis to return from the nearby boutique. "When did you get so hot Kick? You have grown since the last time saw you. Black hair to match your eyes. Your smile." She mumbled. "So you like him!" Alexis asked Kendal, who now looked like a kid at Christmas. "What the.. Lex when did you get here?" she asked now blushing. "That's not the point, now tell me everything" she said. "It was a long time ago, Kick and I shared our kiss together, which I doubt he even remembers. Plus I had a huge crush on him which I never revealed to anyone until now." She said. "Wow this is awesome. Don't worry your secrets safe with me besides you'll have plenty time to talk to him this weekend" she said smiling hard. "What do you mean?" she asked curiously. "I've invited him to my party on Saturday." She said. "That's not his type of event" she said as she laughed out loud. "Hey that's exactly what he said. How well do you know Kick?" she demanded. Kendal's smile faded fast. "Lets go home" she avoided the question. "This is not over" she said. As they drove off to the suburbs.
