Three Matches and Three Outcomes
Kim's POV
I had gotten into my gi. I loved wearing it and beating my opponents, but today was different. I had this mixed feeling of doubt, guilt and pride, is there a name for that? If some of you might not know why I am having those feelings you ask?
Because I met Caleb, the kind and cute Black Dragon. And so I am his opponent in a match. Normally I wouldn't care and just try to beat him anyway. So here's the deal…if I win and he loses, he won't be allowed to do karate anymore, to make long short.
I don't know if I'm good enough to beat him, but I don't know if I want to beat him. List of pros and cons if I win;
Pros:
- Our dojo only needs one more win to snatch the whole tournament victory
Cons:
- He'll probably hate me
- He won't be allowed to do karate
- I'll have to live my life in guilt
- I won't be able to talk to him anymore
There are more cons! Should I throw the battle? I could've done it if Jack and Alex had already won their battles, but I'm first up. If I throw my battle and we should happen to lose, Rudy would be devastated. He'd probably use his crying boots on an everyday basis. I don't think he could handle losing to the Black Dragons. Jack and Alex would probably be annoyed too…I mean losing to the Black Dragons. What should I do?
I was the only one in my gi. Rudy would join me warming up and practicing and just backing me up before the battle, while the others would look for Alex's lucky charm bracelet before my match. Hope they find it!
"Did you find the bracelet?" I asked Alex (Polyvore) when they all came inside. She shook her head,
"No, and I'm freaking out!" she said and tried to calm down. She was in panic mode, talking extremely fast and not resting for a second. She always had to do something when she was in panic, even just playing with her fingers, drumming with her hands or feet or braiding her hair.
"Calm down," I said.
"I can't calm down!" she exclaimed, "I can't!" I slapped her. Hahah, that was funny! I laughed, "Alright, I guess I deserved that one," she admitted snickering a bit.
"I'm sure you're gonna find it," I assured and gave her a small hug before I was waved onto the mat.
"Good luck," they all called. I nodded and took a deep breath, it's time…
I got into my fighting stance. Caleb did too and passed me an insecure look. He was probably worried he'd lose. The referee signaled 'go' and he did a front kick. Help me! I don't know what to do! I blocked his kick and did a
I saw him coming around with a tackle, but I just couldn't win. I let his foot sweep me off the ground and I catched myself with my hands. The referee signaled Caleb the winner and I got up.
"It was a close run Kim, good job!" Rudy said. I shrugged avoiding eye contact. I sat down and Alex came over.
"I know you did it on purpose, I don't know if it makes you feel any better, but I would definitely have done the same! I just didn't want to influence your decision," she said and hugged me. What would I do without good friends?
"Thanks," I said. It really made me feel better! Alex would've done the same, and she's really smart! "Let's go find your bracelet, so you can win your match," I said and grabbed her hand. We all hurried outside, Jack's battle isn't before half an hour.
Alex's POV
We were all outside looking for my lucky charm bracelet. Kim was also helping us now; she had already had her first battle. She lost or she might have won, but she gave away the victory for Caleb. I told her I would've done the same, I would've. Maybe not for Caleb, but for a guy I liked? Yes! Or, maybe Caleb too, I don't know…but now I need to find my bracelet so I can win my match. If not, Kim is gonna feel so guilty.
"It's time for your battle Jack," Rudy reminded pointing at his watch. Jack glanced at me before looking at Rudy.
"Wait for me inside, I'll be with you guys in a minute," Jack said and all of us except for him started walking inside. All of a sudden I felt Jack grab my arm. I turned around and looked at him.
"I've got something for you," he said. I looked at him kinda confused.
"I don't know where you lucky charm bracelet is, but I know it helps you compete. I can't just make it appear, but I thought that someday you wouldn't have room for new charms and would have to start again, with a clean bracelet. That's why I got you this, and your first charm," Jack said and pulled out a new bracelet from his pocket, together with a martial arts charm.
"Jack, it's…it's beautiful," I said left with nothing, but those words. I really didn't expect that.
"I hoped you would like it," he said and put it on my right wrist.
"Jack, I'm kinda confused. I'll just have to get it out, after the…almost…thing," I started, "I thought you might like me, but Chloe told me all about you two…" as soon as I said that Rudy waved us in.
"They're beginning the fight, you need to hurry inside Jack, and you two Alex, you're up only five minutes after him," we both hurried inside, Jack running straight onto the mat. I sat down with the others, and admired the bracelet I'd just gotten, wonder how much it cost? I didn't get to admire it much though, because apparently I had to go. A guy from the Karate Academy told me someone had to talk to me about something urgent, well, I guess urgent is urgent. I got up and followed after him where he led me.
"Ehm, who wanted to talk to me?" I asked him when he stopped. He turned around,
"It was someone from the Black Dragons," he said. I widened my eyes,
"The Black Dragons?" I asked, he nodded,
"Yeah, that girl, Chloe I think. She said something about a boy," he said and looked behind me, "oh, there she is!" he said and started walking, "Bye, Alex, right?" he waved.
"Yeah, that's me!" I nodded and looked over at Chloe.
"So, what was it?" I asked trying not to sound super annoyed.
"Didn't he tell you, well, something about a boy," she smiled. I smiled back,
"Yeah, he said it…" I snickered, "ehm, what boy?" I asked scratching the back of my head. Don't say Jack, just please don't!
"Well, Jack," she said and smiled a slanting smile. I just knew it…
"Oh, well, yeah…what was it?" I asked trying to smile genuinely.
"I just wanted to tell you that Jack has absolutely no interest in you, and so you should just stay away from him, because he likes me and that's the way it should be. So, yeah, that was all, I believe the match should be over now," she cheered and did a combination of jogging and skipping as she went out to where the matches were held. I quickly hurried out too. The match wasn't over yet though.
"Come on, Jack! You've got this!" I yelled and ran back to where I should be sitting. I wonder if what she said is true?
Jack's POV
I got onto the mat and into my fighting stance. When I looked back over at the guys, Alex walked away. It made me kinda upset. Before we went inside after looking for her bracelet, she had mentioned the almost kiss. She said she thought I might like her…well, I do, but I didn't tell her. Rudy kind of interrupted us as my match began.
"Yeah, she hates you alright!" Frank said smirking. I rolled my eyes. That's not true, right? We're still best friends! …Probably just best friends…
"That's not true!" I protested as he got into his fighting stance.
"Hey, I'm not making this up, just think about it!" he smirked and the referee signaled go.
Frank came at me with a turning kick. I blocked it and did a side kick followed by a back kick. He blocked the sidekick and dodged the back kick. He did a backhand. I dodged underneath his arm and attacked with a roundhouse kick. Frank was just barely hit and stumbled backwards.
"Hates you," he mocked. I looked back over to where the guys were all sitting, well except for Alex. She still wasn't there; maybe she did hate me, well maybe not hate me because she's stopped saying hate, but strongly dislike me…? When I looked back at Frank he came at me with a butterfly kick. He was so far into the kick that I only managed to block the kick partly. I stumbled backwards into a somersault. I jumped up again and dodged a turning kick.
I did a crescent kick. Frank dodged and went into a roundhouse kick. I blocked it and the two next punches he sent at me. What if Alex really strongly dislikes me?
"Come on, Jack! You've got this!" I heard Alex cheer.
…or maybe she just doesn't…?
Frank did a hooking kick. I dodged with a butterfly twist. I saw an axe kick coming towards me, I catched the kick, leading it away with my outer arm followed by a backhand. My attack was blocked, so I did a tornado kick going directly into a roundhouse kick. My attack sent Frank on his back out of the mat.
"Great job, Jack! Gotta go change," Alex said before she ran into the locker rooms with her gym bag strapped over her shoulder.
Alex's POV
I got into my gi after Jack's match. He had knocked Frank straight off the mat with a tornado kick followed by a classic roundhouse kick. I've got about four and a half minute until my own match, against Chloe. I wanna beat her so bad! Does that make me a bad person?
…Well it is the whole point of a match to beat your opponent, so I'm gonna go with no…
"Good luck!" Jack said once I came back in my gi.
"Thanks," I said and started stretching. I sat down touching my toes, when my eyes fell on the bracelet Jack had given me. Argh! I'm having this mental battle inside of me…! Is what Chloe said really true? Well, I guess Jack's the only one who can confirm anything.
I got warmed up and ready for my match. One and a half minute to go…
"Jack, I've gotta talk to you!" I commanded and pulled him away from the others.
"Alex, you don't hate me right?" he asked. I lifted an eyebrow. I – hate – him?
"No, I don't hate anything or anyone, just strongly dislike…but no, I don't," I answered him.
"Ok, good," Jack breathed relieved.
"Ok, what I wanted to clear up is; this," I said and waved with my hands between us, "what is this?" I asked probably waving like a maniac.
"Alex, we need you at the mat," Rudy peeked out from a corner and hurried back to the other guys. I sighed,
"Well, I guess I won't figure out," I said and headed back to the other guys. Jack took my hand and held me back.
"I don't have time for explaining, but…" as soon as he had finished the last word he smashed his lips against mine. At that very instant I could feel sparks flying up and down my spine. I was so shocked, my eyes widened like plates. I soon found myself kissing back. I could feel Jack placing his hands around my waist. I brought my right arm up around his neck. Seconds later I pulled away; reason one: air, reason two: my match against Chloe.
"Gotta win my match!" I quickly told Jack before running out onto the mat. Well, I didn't expect that, but it definitely answered my question. I got into my fighting stance and so did Chloe.
"Jack doesn't like you," she said just before the referee motioned us to begin. She immediately stepped in with a turning kick. I blocked it and did a reverse hooking kick. Chloe dodged and did a roundhouse kick. I did a turn blocking her kick, giving me the perfect aim to land a front kick. Chloe stumbled backwards, but managed to stay on her feet. She came right back in with a cross punch followed by a backhand. I blocked her punch and then dodged her backhand sending one back. Chloe ducked underneath my arm and tried to push me away by shooting her outer hand towards my chest. Here's my chance! I catched her arm in a cross block allowing me to turn around and placing my arm around her neck, tackling her with my left foot. And boom! Girl overboard!
The referee announced me the winner of the match and the other guys ran over.
"You did it!" they yelled, "we won!" We were all cheering as well as the crowd. Oh yeah, best dojo in the country! That's sick…I mean about a year ago the dojo was close to closure because we weren't good enough. Now…man, we've made some progress!
"You've gotta teach me that tackle," Jack told me. I smiled,
"That's doable, but only if you teach me a 720 kick," I said, I've been wanting to learn that kick for some time now, but two spins in mid air before a back spinning hook kick, is kinda challenging!
"Sure, anything to spend more time with you," Jack winked. I gently nudged his arm before Bobby Wasabi came over and announced our dojo the best in the whole country.
Ok, finally I am done! Hope you liked the episode final or whatever, finally they kissed right! Anyway check out Polyvore I'll try to add the new bracelet she got from Jack on there and yeah, review :O
Love Synnen!
