I Have You - Jack and Kim fan-fiction

Chapter 13

Kim shared a confused look with her mom. She looked at the clock, it was 11:48 a.m. which meant school was going on. "Coming." She replied. The nurse nodded at her and walked out, shutting the door.

Kim started thinking, who was the person who could possibly sneak between classes, inviting himself trouble, giving the teacher a very good reason for detention, just to meet her? Only Jack Brewer had those kind of guts.

She brought a smirk on her face on Jack's thought. Kim grinned even deeper on the fact that he sneaked out of class just to meet her. She kept her hand on her cheek, imagining and imagining deeper until Ms. Crawford interrupts.

"Is it prince charming?"

"How can I know?" She replies though the answer was obvious. 'Yes.'

"Then, what are you smiling about?" Her mom snapped at her.

Kim realized her smile which was unintentionally on her face. She quickly turns it back to normal. "Don't you have to go?" Another question.

She frowns. "But I look gross, look at my hair." She said, pulling her hair out of her face. Ms. Crawford sighed at her. "You look fine. Just go. You can't keep him waiting forever."

Kim walked out of her room, straightening her sweatshirt and short which were crumpled as she had slept in those. She got inside the elevator, not because she had to walk less, but because of the mirror inside. She nonstop brushed her hair with her fingers until she reached the ground floor.

Kim walked out of the elevator, still straightening her sweatshirt. She came to the reception, looking for Jack. She didn't see him so she went to the receptionist, "Kim Crawford, room no. 215. Is there someone looking for me?"

"I am." A voice from the back called.

Kim couldn't control her smile. She turned back, trying her smile back to normal. To her surprise, it wasn't Jack.

Her heart sank.

"Blake, what are you doing here?" Kim greeted him as she tried not to show her disheartenment. It was natural because she had expected Jack.

"Why, are you not happy?" He asked as he reached to hug her. Kim hugged back but it was very different. "No, it's just" She paused. "Unexpected." She finally added with a sigh.

"Won't you be in trouble for skipping classes?" She asked as she pulled away from him.

"Not really. I had practise plus, it was break time." He shrugged.

"Still, I don't think you're allowed to sneak out. What if someone sees you?" She said as she pointed to his football jacket.

"Don't worry. Wanna go get some ice cream?" Blake asked as he reached out his arm to Kim. She nods.

*At the mall*

They sat down at the table nearest to the fountain. Kim stared at Blake, his eyes shining because of the reflection of the water. He moved his gaze to Kim which caused her to look away. "Which flavour?" He asks.

Kim shakes away from her thoughts. "Sorry, what?"

"The ice cream. Which flavour?" He asked in his French-American accent.

"Strawberry." She said.

"Great. I'll be back." He said and left.

Kim folded her hands and leaned back deeper onto the chair, feeling the fresh air of the atmosphere. She took her foot on her lap and caressed it, no longer feeling any stiffness or pain. She took her hair up and tied it in a pony-tail as she exhaled out the hospital air out of her body.
