Heya! This chapter is a week overdue but I'm gonna make up for that somehow...

A little note to y'all: the whole contest thing of finding 'gesture' is over, sorry! It was only open before I posted the chapter where I have the shout outs and sneak peeks.

I wanna reply to a few reviews I got cuz I felt like I needed to reply to them.

Kickmebaby: thank you! I am amazing :3! Nah I'm just messin with ya suga. You're welcome, they are indeed kissin'.

Yeah. I did torture ya wiv that ending didn't I? Sowy?

LoveShipper: I never really thought of it that way... Glad to know it was funny! •u•

Oh and thank ya! (About Jack's pretence) ... Imagine if that actually happened on the show...

SwiftStar1: Oh mah days. Really? REALLY?! You have no idea how much of a compliment that is to me.

Okay so that's my replying over… so my sugas, how is school? Don't look at your screen like that! Okay nevermind darhlin, just read chapter 17…


Okay Kim, you're cool, you're awesome, you're amazing, you're a black belt, you can so kick butt, you've hardly let anything get to you. Okay... Deep breath...

Then why am I so freakin nervous?! I mean we've kissed before right? Why was that one so…so…different?

'Maybe because popcorn dell from the sky?"

It wasn't the sky! We were indoors!

'Well from your brother's bowl then."

Let me guess. I've lost you haven't I? Yeah, so while I have a mental debate with myself, I might as well tell you that Jack has left, my brothers have been (and are still) teasing me, I'm going mental, I've locked myself in my room trying to think in peace, my mother is coming home soon and I have a dental appointment tomorrow. Wait. Forget the last bit. That's not necessary.

You see, we kissed. Yes, WE KISSED! You may now scream and squeal and complete your bets. I can wait.

...you done? Well you better be cuz I'm gonna continue. We kissed (…it's not the first time! Get over it!) and then, well, it was just a blur plus popcorn. Don't worry. You'll find out soon enough.

Now I'm trying to calm down before my dear mother comes home from work and I'll have to be all happy and sane.

Why does one out of three kisses make me so… unlike me! And... And so... AUGRH! Yes. AUGRH. It's a new type of stressed noise created by yours truly. Feel free to try and say it although it's better when you're not sane and very very stressed.

…oh dear. I'm losing it…

"Kiddo open up!" Cole yells

"No" I shout back, my voice muffled from my pillow.

"Our lovely mother is back!" That got me. I sloppily get off the bed and open my door to see a smirking Cole and… Jack. Jack?! My eyes widen and my mouth drops open. I must look like a slob right now! Right in front of my crush! I let out a late shriek and I slam the door on their faces. I lean against the door and lock it. Again. I run and close my curtains and windows just to be safe. I grab my brush and comb and try to calm down my 'mane'. After some knot tackling and losing half the hair on my head, I splash some cold water in my face to wake me up properly. I gasp at the sudden temperature change. I hurriedly dry my face and brush down my clothes. I toss my bathrobe to a corner, apply a bit of makeup and unlock the door. I take a deep breath and open it to reveal a confused looking Jack and a smirking Cole, looking at his phone. "Wow kid, 1 minute and 38 seconds, new record." I glare at him.

"What about 'our lovely mother'?"

"Oh she's not home till late, I just said that to get you to open up. I didn't drag Jack here for nothing. Go," he says pushing Jack into my room, "Talk."

"About what?"

"That awkwardness after y'all kissed, ya know… the one that you're internally dying about." Cole replies, shutting the door.

I grin sheepishly at Jack. "Sorry about him, he's just weird"

Jack laughs. "Come sit Kimberly" he says and pats the spot next to him on my bed.


TIME SKIP (don't hate me! I think their chat was probably personal, didn't want any nosy parkers around! :3 nah just kiddin... Read on my lovelies!)

"Is that all cleared out now?"

"Yep." We've spent the last half hour talking about the three times we've kissed and admitted we maybe did like the other, just a tad. Although we still aren't classified as going out, we just go over the border of the best friends zone. We are NOT friends with benefits mind you! Just some BFF's flirting shamelessly.

I lean my head into his shoulder and he gives me a light hug. "What now?" He asks. I sit up. Is this really the end of all the drama now? Please oh please say it's so!

"I really have to tell you how I got arrested. You need to know I'm innocent on this!" AJ cries as he bursts into my room.

Oh great. I knew that something was left. Let's just get this over with…

I cross my legs and motion for him to sit down.

"Okay first, it wasn't even me that stole that diamond neckla-"

"Diamond?!"

"Yes. It was real… don't give me that look, you know I don't have it. Anyway I was framed!"

"Of course!" I yell "It wasn't just enough that you were arrested but now you're bringing more drama! I can't take it! I am a teenage girl who already gets an overdose of overreaction and this is just too much!" I then give out a moan and flop onto my back, hitting my head on the wall during the process. "Ow. Continue"

AJ sighs "I can remember her voice. Plus the fact she had red hair which was probably fake, blue eyes…Oh! She was called Luna 'coz she was known to be a little mental in the head." I feel Jack stiffen next to me.

"By any chance, did she have a mole in the shape of a fish next to her nose?" That gets my attention. It couldn't be…

"Actually yeah she did… you know her?!"

"No. She's that psycho that kissed me some days ago."

Oh bother. Double drama. Plus the psycho kisser who also haunted my dreams once. This all equals another few days before my life is back to normal. Then AJ just had to make it worse…

"Before she framed me, I heard her say something about finding a girl who spied on her dreams. Crazy right?" Jack nods. I awkwardly laugh.

"Yeah… crazy."
