You Belong with Me-A Jack and Kim story(Kickin it)

Chapter 5

This chapter is dedicated to the first reader to ever message me and ask for me to update. I was so excited I felt like updating right away even though it was late at night and I had a 5:15am start the next  morning. So a few days later I decided to use what limited spare time was now avaliable and update. Thank you Mckenna9349

Cheers Alura

Chapter 5

Rewritten

"Hey, Kim. Kim wait up" I sighed, forcing myself to slow down. I didn't want to see Jack right now, not with how run down and grouchy I felt. I was a grenade, I will strike out or break down at any time.  I might start blubbering onto his shoulder and confess my love there and then. Despite being wide awake a few hours ago, my eyes were fighting to close and I couldn't stop yawning. I hadn't even gone for my run this morning. I had no energy, not after last night and the last thing I wanted to be doing was dragging myself up the footpath to school, especially with my crush following me. But I also had no intention of to driving him away by being unfriendly so I obviously had no choice but to stop and talk.

"Jack" I greeted him with a curt nod. His mouth fell open as he caught up.

"Kim, what happened to you? You look like a snowman who was attacked by a mad makeup artist" I glared at him. He could say the strangest-and most hurtful-things sometimes.

"Thanks" I spat "You don't look so amazing yourself" It was true I looked a wreck. My face was pale and I had huge purple bags under my eyes. I had tried to disguise them with foundation but instead I ended up smearing it really thickly so I looked cake faced without actually hiding anything. My eyes weren't much better. Bright red from crying, I had tried to put mascara on them but it looked even worse. When I tried to rub it off all I did was smear it around and end up with massive panda eyes. In the end I had just walked away from my hideous reflection.

"Sorry, that was kinda harsh" Jack softened his voice and I couldn't help but smile, even if it was faintly.

"I am sorry too. I had an awful night" I apologized, knowing it didn't make up for my rudeness. "I had a terrible nightmare and couldn't get back to sleep afterwards" I added, trying to justify myself, without of course telling him anything.

"What was it about?" Jack asked and I froze. How could I explain I still dreamt about the arena. It was just a stupid film.

There was no way I could tell him so I simply shrugged "I can't remember."

Jack raised an eyebrow,obviously not buying this but thanfully he let it drop. "Well I was up late last night rewatching tournament videos. I am pumped for our upcoming tournament. I really want to do well" he kicked out with his leg and I couldn't help but smile.

"You will be great. Everyone knows you are amazing and you work so hard" I reassured him. I think you are amazing I wanted to add, and hot, funny, kind, smart...

"You alright Kim" Jack asked, looking at me strangely and I mentally roundhouse kicked myself...if that is humanly possible. Now it is anyway. I will get Milton to make a really long flexible extension to my leg and....

"Kim, seriously" I was jerked out of my daydream and looked over at him. We were standing infront of the school now. No sign of Jerry, probably late, but I could see Milton talking with Julie and I smiled at how perfect they were together. If only Jack could see how perfect we would be.

 "Kim?"His eyes pierced mine, searching me for signs I was mentally ok. I was so out of it today.

"Yes Jack?" I asked and he sighed, touching my arm. Shivers raced up my spine and I bit my lip. He will confess his love to me and we will dance of into the sunset.

"Maybe you should not come to school today, you are really out of it, and you do look a mess" Well that was a rude awakening. I do not look a mess. Well I probably do.

"Trust me Jack, I will survive one day at school. I am just tired" I forced a smile and he nodded unconvincedly.

"Well remember, if you need to talk, or fight, or cry I am here for you. Just come find me" he stepped forward and embraced me. I wrapped my arms around him, listening to him breathing, feeling his toned body, wishing I could do this more often. Every day. I could feel his toned body beneath my arms, and feel his breath, just as hot as the rest of him. Okay seriously Kim you need more sleep.

He pulled away, and I fought to control my face. He must have noticed my strange expression and let out a laugh. "Yes Kim, I know you are tough as nails and all that, but even you are allowed to  cry sometimes" he touched my face tenderly before turning and walking away. I fought to control my breathing although inside my heart sank faster than the great Titanic. He thought I was affected by him saying I could cry on his shoulder. Did hugging me really mean that little to him?

The bell rang, startling me from my depressing thoughts and I crossed the yard to see Julie.

"Wow Kim you look terrible. What happened to you?" She greeted me with a hug. Seriously why did everyone think I looked terrible and deserved a hug. Although if Jack hugged me everytime I looked terrible I will never care about my appearance again. I smirked at the thought.

"Look keep your head down and hide behind your hair. I have no time to attend to you now but once we get to homeroom I will help fix you up" I obeyed without question and hid my face under my blonde curls.

Julie guided me into the homeroom without incident and immediately pulled out her make up bag, handing me a makeup wipe.

"Scrub absolutely everything off" she ordered.

"Aye Aye captain" I smirked, proceeding to follow instructions while she set squirted foundation onto her wrist.

While she worked, I took the oppertunity to have a quick nap, opening my eyes only so she could reapply mascara.

"Right take a look" Julie grinned, finally happy with her handiwork. In the space of ten minutes I was completly transformed. I looked pretty good now, although slightly more done up then usual.

If only this was how Jack had met me this morning, looking semi decent....
