Hey guys! JStorm here. What a week! Sorry if this chapter seems any shorter than the others. I almost didn't get this one done in time. I've been really busy but here is the next part. I've decided to make some changes to the story in terms of which trajectory I want it to go so I'm currently in the process of mapping out more of what will need to go into the story to make my planned course of action possible. But do know it's only going to get more interesting from here. Trust me. :)

To DJ Rodriguez: Thanks a lot for your detail analysis of the first two chapters and what you've thought. It really helps me gauge, as an author, how good my stories are, what I need to do better and so forth. I've tried to give all the characters as much individuality and depth as possible. I want this to feel really.. well, real. haha. I hope you enjoy this chapter. It's probably not going to be a lot, definitely not as lengthy as last week, but it's integral to the rest of what's to come. We're gonna get all three sisters into the story now and this chapter introduces Bonnie.

To ClassyUlysses: I appreciate you taking the time to review! Thank you! And possibly. You're right, there are a bunch of teases. Not every woman in the story who flirts with Ron is going to end up with him. But Connie, Lonnie and Bonnie just might be the victor in the end. Who knows? Maybe it will be a forgotten dark horse? I'm gonna keep it interesting and we'll see where things go!

On to the story!

"So, are you ready for the math test?"

"Yeah, I was up all last night going over the final preparations, making sure I had all the unit down. Calculus is so not the drama, Nique'"

Kim slammed her locker door shut having just retrieved the last of her books.

"I'm still having trouble with it. Wouldn't be surprised if half the class failed because I aint' ever seen anything like this, girl." Monique said.

"Well what is it you aren't getting?"

"All of it." She crossed her arms as she leaned against the locker.

"I think it's very simple once you break it down to it's fundamentals. Look, all it is, is the study of continuous change."

Monique blinked.

"Ugh! Okay, here's what I mean. There are two major branches: differential and integral. Differential concerns instantaneous rates of change and-"

"Woah, woah, girl. You're making my brain hurt. See? I knew I was doomed to fail this class. I'll be taking senior year again next year!"

"You're exaggerating."

"Well, perhaps if, I, too was born from a rocket scientist and a brain surgeon, maybe then I would have a brilliant mind." Monique sighed. Kim just rolled her eyes.

"So did you and Ron do anything this weekend?"

Kim shrugged. "We didn't hang out. I spent most of the time researching colleges and doing homework. But.."

"What, Kim?"

Kim bit her lip and her eyebrows scrunched as she went into deep thought. "Now that I think about it, we haven't hung out all that much outside of missions, of course. I don't even really remember the last time we did anything outside of school, or in school."

"Why is that?"

"I don't know." She sighed. "I've been put under a lot of pressure, Monique. I mean, my parents are telling me all their stories about things they did their senior year to prepare for college and figuring out what they wanted to do and.. I guess in the thick of it all, I've sort of put my best friend on the back-burner."

"Bff?! What about me?" Monique whined.

Kim chuckled. "I love you, too, Mon', but you know, I've known Ron since pre-K."

"Kim, I think what you need to do is just not worry so much. I know your family has very high standards and you feel you have to live up to the 'Possible' name, but we're not even into October, yet and you have like 9 months to figure all that out. Plus you have your friends by your side and we'll be there to help and support you no matter what." She grinned.

Kim smiled back at her and shook her head. "Yeah, I guess you're right. I just don't want to let things slip between the cracks. But I suppose.. yes, you're right." Kim decided. "I have blown Ron off and that wasn't right of me. I'm going to make it up to him. I practically ignored him for all the summer."

"See? There you go girl, ygi!"

"Ygi?" Kim asked.

"You got it!" She responded.

Kim sighed and rolled her eyes.

Just then, the school's front doors pushed open, letting in the brightness of the morning sun. Everybody in the halls turned to look to see what was going on. They winced, trying to make out something, a figure who stood in the doorway.

Kim and Monique also stared at the silhouette of the figure who just stood still, looking over everyone. Their reactions. Then he started to walk in a steady, brisk pace with purpose in each step. His appearance was revealed as the doors swung shut behind him and the lights from above him along the hallway, highlighted his now, clear features. Nobody could place him.

As the man walked, nobody could really recognize him. They whispered and clammered among themselves in close quarters. Who was he? Was he new?

The man simply kept on his pace as he calmly navigated the jungle, known as the Middleton High Halls. Each step was with purpose. And then he saw them. The man in question pulled his shanels away from his eyes as he walked right up to Kim and Monique who were by their lockers.

"Hey K.P., Monique." He said with a familiar, happy tone to his voice.

"R- ron?" Kim asked in shock. This guy was her Ron?! How much had he actually changed when she wasn't paying him any attention over the last few months?

"Ron! O..m..g. I didn't even know that was you! I love your get up!" Monique said very pleased as she eyed him over.

Ron stood in front of them, upright with squared shoulders. He wore a short sleeve, light blue 'American Eagle' button shirt that fit the contours of his torso very well, showing of his real, actual muscles and shape. The top two buttons were left undone. His hair was styled back into a medium length "textured quiff" with a low fade around the sides which featured some brown highlights in his blonde hair. His designer shades now rested on his head, in front of his hair. To top it off, tight 'American Eagle' dark blue jeans which showed off his legs pretty well and all-white Nike tennis shoes.

"Heh, well, I figured it was time to try something... different." He rubbed his neck.

Kim, meanwhile crossed her arms and looked at him up and down. She didn't know how to feel or what to think about Ron's change in appearance. It wasn't like him to dress this way. The Ron she knew would never conform to fit into social norms or to 'become a hottie'. The only times she remembered where he did make changes in the way he looked was when he got that silly haircut and had the girls swooning and when he got that Nacos Royalty Check and dressed in obscene amounts of bling. In both instances, she remembered all too well how he had let the money go to his head.

"Ron, what's going on?" Kim asked with an edge to her voice.

Ron picked up on it and arched an eyebrow as he pushed between girls to get to his locker and began turning the lock to open it. "What do you mean, K.P.?"

"I mean, what's with the clothes and the hair? You're not trying to get some girl are you?" She pushed.

"Oh! I just love gossip! Who is it, Ron? Anyone I know?" Monique asked as she leaned forward into his side, and craned her head up to bat her eyelashes at him with a flirty smile.

"Nique'!" Kim shouted, irritated at her friend's antics.

"Calm it down ladies!" Ron said with a suave and chill vibe. "It's senior year and I decided to start making some changes. That's all." He smiled.

Meanwhile, a certain brunette-haired vixen and her friend with long, curly blonde hair watched their exchange.

"Typical, Possible." Bonnie snorted. "A new hottie comes to our school and of course, she's gotta be the one to talk to him first. She just can't help herself."

"You're still bitter about Josh, aren't you?" Tara asked as she was bent over, placing books into her bag.

"If Brick didn't have to miss prom because of a funeral he had to travel 700 miles for, that wouldn't even be an issue. She stole my date for the prom last year, T. And I had to go. Dateless! You know how humiliating that is? I'm top of the food-chain. I don't do solo. Point is, I was gonna to go with Josh and then she had to go and steal him right out from under me on the last day before the dance."

"Well, B, he canceled on you and he asked her. It's not like she asked Josh even though she knew you were his date." Bonnie turned a hard glare her way. "That's not the point! She's 'little miss. Perfect', She always has to get everything. She always gets what she wants and has to out-do everybody. She can trick everyone else, but she's not gonna fool me. I know for a fact she wanted to go with him." Tara just shook her head.

Bonnie watched as this 'new guy' reached into his locker to put stuff in it. Then she smiled a wicked grin. Tara saw it and frowned. "B? What are you thinking?"

"We should go over and introduce ourselves. After all, it would be rude not to."

Tara looked at her skeptically. "Bonnie, let's not start any drama this early in the morning."

However, Bonnie didn't hear her. She was already making her way towards the trio. If she's going to steal my date from last year, I'll just go take the new hottie she's cozying up to.

Tara sighed and followed behind her best friend. She just hoped things didn't get ugly.

"Ron, I'm just concerned that you could let your new look make you big-headed again. I just don't want this to hurt you in the end like those other times. That's all I'm saying." Kim said.

"KP, it's alright, really. Look, I learned from the hair-cut and the money. The way I see it is, if I'm going to have a bright future, I need to hold a higher regard for myself and make changes in all areas of my life to make me better for what's ahead. They're right, you know? I can't stay a boy, K.P., I need to become a man." He replied, honestly.

"Who's they?" Kim arched a brow.

"Uh.."

"Well, hello there. What's your name?" Ron heard from near-by. He turned his head and saw Bonnie and Tara approach them. But Bonnie seemed to be looking right at him. Ron froze as she stopped just short of him and the two girls looked at his apparel.

"Me? Uh, Bonnie, do-"

"Oh! You know my name? Well, I'm flattered." She winked. "I'm sort of the top of the social pyramid around here. You shouldn't hang out with losers like K, here." Bonnie grinned evilly as her red-headed nemesis.

Kim growled and locked eyes with her teal ones but Bonnie broke their connection.

"I'm guessing you're new because I don't think I've ever seen you around here before. What's your name?" She smiled. Ron opened his mouth to answer. And then the bell rang.

"Aw, no." Bonnie pouted after it finished. "Hmm, well, you're cute. What say you walk me to class?" She flirted again.

"Um, well-"

"Oh, okay, you talked me into it!" Bonnie exclaimed and proceeded to wrap her arm around his, not giving him a chance to say anything. Ron stiffened at the contact but regained his composure, having remembered what Bonnie's sisters said about how to act around women, "be loose and yourself." He picked up his bag and slung it over his free shoulder. All the ladies couldn't help but admire the way his muscles moved from under his shirt.

Kim was about to open her mouth to tell Bonnie that was her best friend until she saw Bonnie lead Ron away. "See, you later, Kim." Bonnie sneered, and guided Ron down the hall as they made their way to first period.

"Uh, girl?" Kim sighed and looked at Monique and shook her head. She knew as soon as Bonnie found out that was Ron, she was going to push him away and freak out for hanging around 'a loser' all day and deny any of this ever happened.

"Don't worry. It's not gonna last. She'll find out it's Ron and repel away from him. Nothing will happen. Might be a little fun to play along with it in the mean time. I just hope this doesn't come back to bite, Ron, though... maybe we should tell her." Kim bit her lip.

"Okay. But after class. We don't want to be late for homeroom."

Kim sighed. "Fine."

What on earth was happening?

All day, you couldn't not see Bonnie attached to Ron like super-human glue. They walked arm-in-arm to every class as they talked. And both stopped at the others' locker when they needed to get/ put away their books for their next classes. Ron found that she was surprisingly easy to talk to and she could be quite charismatic, personable and deep when she wanted to be. For just one day, to him, Bonnie Rockwaller actually seemed like a normal girl.

Bonnie was easily amused and interested in anything Ron had to say and actually picked up on and learned a lot about him. What his interests are, what he likes, etc. At lunch, they discovered they seemed to have some of the same interests such as sharing a couple of bands they both loved, Bueno Nacho, their hatred for anything that looks like 'Mystery Meat' as Bonnie put it, and cheer-leading. Bonnie was quite surprised to hear that he was a cheerleader. That earned him extra points in her mind. Mostly though, they talked about which bands they liked, debated which current bands were better than others, which genres they liked and both agreed, scream-o certainly did not classify as music.

Needless to say, even though she still somehow hadn't figured out by now that she was talking to Ron Stoppable, the 'loser' as she would normally call him, she found herself also opening up and warming up to him very rapidly. She shared things with him that she didn't dare tell to people in her social circle. Things that weren't considered, 'popular' and 'mainstream', 'in the now' and 'current' like her interests that were not considered popular but deep down she loved and if others knew.. well, it could only mean bad things, right? But she felt a connection with him that she never felt with anyone else. She was drawn to him like a magnet and when she looked into his eyes, she lost herself. Sure he was good-looking, but over time, it was the essence of who she discovered him to be that made her trust him and she started to admire that the most about him. He held doors open for her, he listened to everything she had to say without interrupting. He was a good guy.

She would sit in the seat next to whichever one he chose, they chatted between lectures and shared laughs. Bonnie was transfixed on him at times, when he would smile. Would stare at him when he talked and stole glances whenever he wasn't looking or while the teacher was speaking and everyone took notes.

This didn't go unnoticed by Kim who kept stealing glances of her own at them. She watched their exchanges and saw they seemed to be.. getting along?

Still, however, she didn't trust Bonnie one bit and she knew the teal-eyed "demon" would push him away with disgust as soon as she recognized that he was Ron. For the moment, she decided to keep a close eye on her best friend and would be at the ready to defend her best friend if things went south.

And there was also something else. Kim was feeling something swell up inside of her. Jealousy? No! It was caution. Kim was very territorial and possessive over her best friend and wanted to make sure nothing would hurt him. She for sure wasn't about to let Bonnie do that to Ron. It was something about Bonnie being close to Ron that made her tense... and irritated.

She would pull Ron aside when Bonnie wasn't on his arm and tell him to tell her who he really was. Then this whole thing could be over with and things could go back to normal as she was certain Bonnie would want nothing more to do with him. Well, almost. She knew, for now, Ron, for all intents and purposes was a 'hottie'. Kim shuddered at that thought. That sounded so sick and wrong!
