Kim first day ends and she finds a job. She makes some friends and continues to run in to Jack. What will happen with these two opposites?

I had a few chapters written and saved in my files. I am doing some touch-ups on them and then having my boyfriend, Ryan, take them to the McDonalds and post them for me. He is a sweetheart and really helping me out while I am recovering in the hospital. Love you all.

Thank you for the reviews. Please keep them coming.

Chapter 2: New School and Then New Job

KIM'S POV

I was trying really hard to listen to everything that our Biology teacher was telling us, but it was hard with the group sitting behind me. I took a lot of notes and just focused on what I was here for, which was class. It wasn't that I meant to come across as stuck up or to ignore the guy behind me when he tried to start a conversation, but I had gone down the bad boy road once before and I got burnt badly. Plus the fact that my dad would have a heart attack if I so much as thought about becoming friends with this guy. I couldn't add anything else for him to stress about. He has to focus on his job so that he doesn't end up getting hurt.

Class was over and I collected all of my things and stood up to get to my next class. The guy behind me was standing right beside me as I stood up and I lightly bumped into him. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize how close you were." I said as I starred up into his really brown eyes. No, no, no…I kept saying in my head. You are not doing this again. Bad boys are called bad for a reason and you want a nice guy like your dad.

I tried to get past him, but I was wedged between him and the edge of my desk. "Excuse me. I need to get to my next class." I said getting a little annoyed at this point.

"Sorry. I just wanted to make sure that I got to introduce myself." He said while putting his hand on mine that was holding my books. "I am Jack. If you need to be shown around, just let me know." He continued smirking in my direction.

"Nice to meet you, Jack. Thank you for the offer, but I think I can handle it. This is not the first high school I have been in. Now, can I pass so I am not late to my next class?" I said as sweetly as I could manage before lightly shoving my way past him.

I made it to the hallway and headed straight for my next class. Luckily, Jack was not in this class. I met some really nice kids and actually had my next few classes with them. Julie had light brown hair and brown cat eye glasses. She was very nice and seemed very smart. She introduced me to Milton, who I think she has a crush on. He is a really clean cut looking guy and they seem to be well matched.

The rest of my morning went by pretty quickly and luckily without any run-ins with Jack. I walked into the cafeteria and grabbed a lunch tray. The food didn't look too bad so that was an improvement from my last school. I walked out to the tables and refused to look around desperately to join someone's table. Julie saw me and started waving. I smiled and walked over to her and sat down.

"Thank you, Julie." I said.

"Please you are doing me a favor by sitting with me." Julie said quietly while I looked at her confused. "I am not the most popular person, Kim. I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to go sit somewhere else."

"Please. I don't care what other people think. You are a wonderful person and that is exactly what I am looking for in a friend." I smiled and she smiled back at me.

She just needs a boost in the confidence department and maybe I can help her with that. She is really sweet and very pretty. People just see her as shy and too smart to talk to, but that is not true and I will help her show them all. Milton and a few other people joined us at our table.

We were all talking and having a nice time when someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder and the table grew very quiet. I turned around to find a tall brown haired guy in a letterman jacket. I smiled up at him as he pulled a chair from the table beside us and sat down.

"Hello. I am Harry. I wanted to come over and introduce myself to you." He said with a big smile on his face.

I returned his smile and said, "Hi. My name is Kim. It is nice to meet you." I held my hand out to him for him to shake it, but he slowly lifted it to his lips and kissed it.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Kim. I hope to see you around." He said as he stood up.

JACK'S POV

"Jack, what is that douche doing over there with Kim?" Brody asked.

I didn't know what he was talking about, but I looked up to see Harry sitting by Kim. I can't explain why this bothered me, but it did. I really hate guys like Harry and the way that they think they are better than everyone else. I thought I had made it clear for everyone to steer clear of Kim until I figured out what was up with her. I guess my glare this morning wasn't enough for this idiot so I will have to make it more clear.

"Looks like he is getting a warmer greeting than you did, yo." Jerry added.

"Please that douche doesn't concern me at all. Kim is going to be a bigger challenge than he can handle." I said with a laugh.

"I don't know, Man. It looks like he did pretty well." Bobby replied.

I looked around the table at my friends and just shook my head with a smirk. "Guys, come on. Do you really think I have anything to worry about? I don't even know if she is worth any effort yet. I am not going to sweat the jock dummies paying attention to her."

"Alright, Jack. If you don't know if she is worth the effort, I think I would like to give it a try." Sam said with a smirk of his own.

Eddie just started laughing as I ignored them both. We had girls lined up to go out with us. What was it about this girl that was making all of these guys act crazy? More importantly, what was it about her that was peaking my interest so much? Maybe just the fact that she was a mystery right now and she acted different than all of the other girls around here. I would have to deal with the jock issue, but for now I sat down and finished eating and just kept an eye on her as the jock walked away.

KIM'S POV

"I am sure that you will." I replied as Harry turned to walk away with a big smile on his face.

I turned back to the table and all of the girls were star struck. "Are you guys alright?" I asked concerned.

"Kim, that was Harry Styles. He is the quarterback on the football team and he…just…kissed…your …hand!" Julie said excitedly.

I put my hands on her shoulders. "Okay, breath. It was nice of him to come and introduce himself. It isn't always easy to meet people at a new school. He seems like a nice guy." I said.

"You have no idea how lucky you are." Julie said trying to relax some.

"Julie, I said he seemed nice, but I am not here for guys. I probably won't even be here long enough to consider dating. My dad gets moved around way too much for that. I am here to learn, make friends, and have fun." I tried to explain to her.

She just shook her head in disbelief and we all laughed. We ate the rest of our lunch and I got to know everyone that I was sitting with better. They also persisted to tell me about most of the junior class. I never would have thought that one lunch hour could have been so informative.

When Julie mentioned Jack and his groupies, I turned and looked over my shoulder at their table. There were five other guys sitting at the table with Jack and a handful of girls swooning and fawning all over them. How pathetic is that! All of the guys were wearing the same black leather jackets with white or black V-neck shirts. Julie told me that their names were Brody, Jerry, Eddie, Sam, and Bobby.

The girls at their table were Grace and Kelsey, who apparently were dating two of the guys, and then some desperate cheerleaders according to Julie. I laughed lightly and then she told me that their names were Donna, Claire, and Macy. The rest of the cheerleaders were sitting with us and at another table next to the jocks. At our table, we had Patty and Jan who were trying to get Julie and me to come to tryouts after school. They seemed nice and it would be fun to do some cheering again. I just wish I knew if we would be staying long enough for me to learn the routines.

"Let's try, Julie. It could be a lot of fun to be on the squad. Plus just think about what those desperate cheerleaders will think when we are cheerleaders with them." I said because I got the impression that Julie did not like them at all.

"That would be fun. My sister would hate for me to be on the squad." Julie replied.

"Wait a minute. One of those girls is your sister. Which one?" I asked.

"Claire is my sister. She and Donna are seniors, but they still hang all over Jack even though he dumped them both. They are pitiful." Julie answered. "It would be fun to show her that she is not the only one that can be a cheerleader."

"Wow! I think that we are trying out after school. This will be a blast because we will be together." I said smiling at her. I never would have guessed that Claire was her sister, but this is going to be an interesting day.

I looked back over my shoulder at their table and scanned all of them quickly. It wasn't that they looked all that scary, but I had tried to find the hidden side of a bad boy before and I got hurt. I won't make that mistake again. Julie told me that everyone at school was intimidated by them and I knew that I needed to stay away from them. As my eyes fell on each of them, I felt a pair of eyes on me. My eyes locked with Jack's for just a moment and I felt almost hypnotized. The thing was that there was something about him that I just couldn't shake from my mind. I would just have to ignore it. I turned back to my table and finished my lunch.

JACK'S POV

I caught myself smiling the moment that my eyes locked with Kim's. I don't know what it was about this girl that kept drawing me in, but I was going to make sure that I find out. When she turned back to her table, I quickly shook my head to clear it before anyone could notice. When lunch was over, I watched Kim walk out of the cafeteria with a slight sway to her steps. What is wrong with me?

I went to my locker and headed for my next class with Jerry. I made sure to enjoy the view of all of the pretty girls in the hall on our way because I thought that it would make me forget about of the room. I shook my head and went to the back of the room to sit down. The only problem is that no matter where I look, Kim is in my view so I decided to lay my head down on my desk and use this period for a much needed nap.

When I woke up, Kim was kneeling down beside me giggling while she tried to wake me up. I looked into her gorgeous hazel eyes and melted. That was all it took for me to be hers….one look deep into those eyes! I reached out and put my hand on her cheek and she leaned into my palm putting her hand on mine to hold it in place. I felt a jolt of electricity run through my body at her touch. She smiled at me and I couldn't help myself! I started to lean forward and as we were only about an inch apart…

Buzzzzzzzz Buzzzzzzzz. The class bell rang out and woke me to get to my next class. I looked up and saw Kim as she headed out the door. I can't believe that was a dream. It seemed so real! What am I talking about? I can't believe that I dreamt about some girl that I barely know. She can't be all that great! Besides, I am Jack Brewer! I don't fall for girls, they fall for me!

The rest of the day went by quickly. Thank God! I had to get out of this place and find some real chicks to pick up. We all went out to get on our bikes and rode off in our separate directions with plans to meet up later at Phil's Soda Shop. I got home and did all of my stupid homework quickly. I just wanted to get to Phil's and get this girl out of my mind.

KIM'S POV

Overall, my school day had gone pretty well. I had made some new friends and was heading to cheerleader tryouts with one of them. The tryouts were pretty informal. They needed cheerleaders and so they were having us practice some of their cheers with them and then perform them so they could judge us.

Julie was right about Claire not being happy about her trying out, but Julie was such a happy person that I knew she would be great at this. We did the routines which weren't hard at all.

"Can any of you do any flips? We could really use someone that can do that, too." Donna announced.

A few girls raised their hands and did some cartwheels and round offs. It was my turn and I took several steps back so that I could do multiple flips in a row. I did a round off with three flip-flops first and then a forward tuck to finish it. All of the girls started clapping. Then I did a one handed cartwheel into a round off with two flip-flops and a backward tuck to land perfectly. Even the football players were paying attention and Donna didn't like that at all.

"You don't have to show off, Kimberly." Claire said.

"I'm sorry. I thought you wanted to see what we could do. I have been doing tumbling for a long time." I replied with a sweet smile.

By the end of the tryouts, they ended up keeping me, Julie, Lisa, and Susie. We were very excited and decided to go and celebrate.

"I know where we can go." Julie said with excitement in her voice. "There is a great soda shop not too far from here. You will love it."

I grabbed her arm and said, "Lead the way, my friend. It sounds great!"

When we got there, the place was already packed and they did not have enough waitresses/car hops. We went inside and sat down in a booth. One of the waitresses came over and took our order. We got some fries to share and two milkshakes. I love milkshakes! I was having a lot of fun with Julie when I noticed a band setting up in the corner of the room. This was going to be a lot of fun if we could do some dancing, too.

"Julie, you didn't tell me that they have a band here. This is going to be great." I said.

"They are alright. They mostly just play music though because the guys don't like to sing." She replied.

"They need a singer?" I said questioningly. I looked at Julie and my smile grew.

"What are you thinking?" She asked.

"Well, they need a singer and I love to sing. What about you?" I replied.

"Kim, I can't get up in front of all of these people and sing. You already got me to be a cheerleader today. Please don't push it any more today." She said.

"Alright, but if you change your mind, you better jump up and sing with me." I told her and she nodded her head.

I went up to talk to the band and see if they would let me sing with them. "Hi. I'm Kim. I just moved to town and I heard that you guys are really good." I said to the guys on the stage. There were four of them and when the last one turned around to look at me, I had a slight shiver run through me. He was one of the football players, but I hadn't met him yet.

He walked up to me and looked me over with a smile. "I am Liam. You are the cheerleader that was doing all those flips at practice, right?"

He had noticed me at practice; well that was a good first step. "Yes. That was me."

One of the other guys stepped up and said, "Just because you want to sing doesn't mean you can! Besides Phil doesn't want us to get to rowdy so I doubt he will allow much more singing then what we already do."

"Oh. Well I could talk to him and don't worry about whether I can sing or not. I will show you how well I can sing in just a minute…Your name?" I said with a smirk on my face.

"This is Zayn. Just ignore him. We all do." Liam laughed lightly and so did the other guys.

"I'm Niall and this is Louis. We all play football and you were amazing today. So if you can sing anywhere as good as you can flip, we would love to have you join us." He said shaking my hand.

"Phil is a hard guy to deal with sometimes. Would you like me to come and help you?" Louis offered.

"Oh no. I think I've got it. I will be right back for my audition." I smiled as I turned around and headed for the man behind the counter. I heard the guys start playing some music and they were actually pretty good. I have got to get Phil to let us start singing and livening things up some.

"Hello. I was wondering if I could talk to the owner of this establishment." I said with a smile.

"Well, that is me. I am Phil. How can I help you?" He asked returning my smile.

"I wanted to give you my complements. I just had the best milk shake I have ever had in my life. I have lived all over the world with my dad. He is in the navy and it is hard sometimes to find someone who can make a milkshake that good." I smiled even more.

"Why, thank you, young lady." He said.

"My name is Kim. It is very nice to meet you." I said.

"It is nice to meet you, too." Phil replied.

"I see that you have a band here. That is wonderful. I bet it really boosts your business." I said.

"They are alright. It doesn't really get any busier when they play just louder." He said.

"They only play, no one sings. Oh that is a shame. I know that all of the best soda shops where we have lived always had a live band that all of the kids could dance to. Oh well." I said.

"Wait. You mean that people would like it more if they could dance and someone was singing." He looked at me astonished. "But things are already so busy here. I need more help before I can handle more people."

"Maybe I can help you with both of those things, Phil." I said with a sweet smile.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yes. My friend and I were looking for part time jobs. Maybe we could help you out as car hops and waitresses." I offered.

"That would be wonderful, but what do I do about these guys not singing?" He said disappointed.

"I can help you with that, too. I have sang with a few different bands at soda shops. I would love to do it." I said.

"Really? Can you start now?" He asked. "I have some uniforms that would probably fit you and your friend. I could really use the help and I would pay you both really well. Plus all the milkshakes you can drink, if this works." He said with a big smile.

"I will go grab my friend." I ran over to Julie and grabbed her out of the booth.

"What are you doing, Kim?" She said.

"Remember how you told me at lunch that you needed to find a job. Well, we are going to be car hops here. We just need to get changed and get started. We can sing, too." I said excitedly.

"How did you do that?" She asked and then she just shook her head and added. "Never mind I think I am finding out that you can do anything."

We went to the back to change and get busy.

JACK'S POV

There was a knock on my door and I opened it to see Brady and Jerry waiting for me.

"Ready, Man?" Jerry said.

"Yeah. Let's go." I said.

We all jumped on our bikes and headed for Phil's. I needed a night full of fun to get Kim off of my mind. We pulled up to Phil's within a few minutes and the place was packed as always. We headed in to find the usual number of girls ready to attack us, but at least Kim wasn't here to distract me. We sat down in a booth and got ready to order some food. The only bad thing about Phil's is that they don't have enough waitresses to take care of everyone quickly.

As soon as that thought was in my head, our waitress came to our table. "Can I take your order?" A familiar voice said.

I looked up and couldn't believe who our waitress was. "Kim?" I asked.

"Yes that is my name and you are Jack, Jerry, Brody, Eddie, Sam, and Bobby. I don't know who your female friends are this evening because I haven't met them yet, but I am here to take your order if you are ready. If not, I can come back in a little while." She said with a little attitude.

What is it with this girl? "No, I think we know what we want." I replied.

We all gave her our orders and she smiled and said, "Thank you. I will have your drinks out in a second."

As she walked away, I looked at how cute she looked in Phil's uniform. She had a lime green poodle skirt on with a short sleeve black collared shirt. The top few buttons were undone and she had a lime green scarf on. Her hair was in a ponytail and she was nice to look at.

"What an interesting twist? Kim is our waitress. What are the odds?" Brody said with a smirk.

I hit him in the shoulder and said, "So?"

"You seemed to be enjoying the view, Jack." Bobby added.

"Please. We came here to have some fun and we are sitting here with some fun girls. Why would I want to look at Kim?" I replied not realizing that she had walked back up to the table with our drinks.

"If I am bothering you, I can get you another waitress. Here are your drinks. I will have Julie bring you your food in a little while." She said as she unloaded her tray and disappeared.

"Nice, Jack. I think you may have hurt her feelings." Sam said.

"Oh she is fine. At least now, I can get back to my fun." I said with a smirk. I needed to not see her so that I could try to get her out of my mind. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings, but it had to happen.
