I do not own any of the characters except for Arabella.

~Arabella's POV~

I walked down the school steps holding hands with Jack to overhear Eddie, Milton, and Kim's conversation.

"You're not gonna believe it. Duke Evans is coming to the mall this weekend!" Eddie told Kim.

"Never heard of him." I shook my head.

"Check it out." Milton held up his phone and showed us all a video of some guy, who I'm gonna assume is Duke, breaking some boards for an advertisement.

"Duke Evans is a loser who travels around in a motor home doing karate demos." Jack said bitterly after the video had ended.

"He's having a board-breaking challenge to see if anybody can break his record." Milton explained to us.

"Ooh, Jack, you should try." I said to him, smiling.

"I'd love to break that guy's record, watch him soak up his tears with his own mullet." Jack said with an evil grin.

"I don't know, Jack. You think you're ready to take on a guy like the Duke?" Eddie said.

"Yeah, I kind of do." Jack let go of my hand and kicked three lockers shut. As Jack walked back over Jerry came walking in... in pajamas.

"Uh, dude? You know you came to school in your pajamas, right?" Jack asked, noticing him too.

"Oh yeah, I know. I didn't sleep a wink last night." Jerry said casually. "I've got family in town and I have to share my bed with my cousin Pepito."

"Pepito!" We all said with hatred into the distance.

"So you're gonna go to class like that?" Kim asked, motioning his pajamas.

"Pssh, class? No, no no." Jerry snorted, "I'm going to bed." He yawned before walking into his locker, stepping into it and closing it behind him.

"I can't believe he's really going to bed—" Eddie started.

"Hey!" Jerry shouted while opening the locker, "You kids keep it down out there, okay?"

♪ Don't you get all tough with me, I'm saying, won't you come kick it with me? And we can have a ball, run up the wall, this is how we do, and no matter how much, I chop and punch, it's not as cool as kickin' it with you. ♪

♪ Here we go, let's start the party, chop it up like it's karate. ♪

♪ everybody, don't you get all tough with me, I'm saying, won't you come kick it with me? And we can have a ball, run up the wall, this is how we do, and no matter how much I chop and punch, it's not as cool as kickin' it with you. ♪

I was sitting on the bench in the dojo watching Jerry helped Jack practice for the board breaking contest.
"Time." Milton said when the time was up.

"Twenty-one boards." Eddie announced and Jack and Jerry high-five each other, "That was awesome!"

"Thanks, Eddie." Jerry said smugly, "See it's all about technique and focus. I do this whole meditation to keep..."

"He was talking about Jack." I cut him off.

"I'll see you guys later."  Kim said, walking out dressed in a red and white strapped dress.

"Well, have fun." Jack said, not even noticing the dress as he walked over to sit down next to me on the bench.

Kim looked around expectantly, waiting for anyone to comment on her clothes, but the boys were completely oblivious. "Aren't you gonna say anything about my outfit?"
