Hey, you're lovely author here.

I wanted to thank you all for reading my story. It means a lot.

I can't wait to start writing this.

I've had ideas flowing in my brain, and now I can get them down on paper...or pixels. Whatever.

Disclaimer: I do not own the amazing TV show on Disney XD Kickin' It. I wish I did...cause then I could partially own Leo Howard... *drools* haha okay now start reading. Love you lovely people!

Chapter One:

Kim's POV

I walked up the cobblestone path to the large victorian-looking house at the top of the hill, dragging my green suitcase behind me, the rocks making it bump every step. I sighed, not wishing to go in.

"Why now?" I asked myself aloud. I sighed, walking up the front steps and walking into the house. I didn't bother to look at the hallway, or the living room; I just walked up the stairs and into my new room.

I collapsed on my bed, face first into my pillow. I started to cry, wishing this would all end.

*Flashback*

"We're WHAT?!" I looked at my mom, astonished, my mouth open so wide I'm surprised it didn't devower the whole world.

"Kim...it's just that...your step father got a new job in Miami. It requires that we move there. But honey, you'll love the house! And I've checked out the school, it's just wonderful. There's even a dojo right down the street! You'll love it there!" She smiled sweetly, but I knew it was a facade. If you'd asked me a few years ago, yeah, I'd have believed the smile was genuine, as her words. But the last few years, after she married my step father, whom I nicknamed Step Monster, she's been this...monster. I often believe Step Monster sucked out her soul.

"Mom, don't you get it? I can't leave Seaford! My life is here! I have my friends! My dojo! I can't just abandon them!" I started to cry, but my mom just shook her head.

"Kimberly Anne Crawford, go upstairs and pack your things this instant! We're moving next week!" With that, she dismissed me. I couldn't believe it. What was I going to tell my friends? Especially Jack? He was my best friend...I don't know what I can say to him!

I raced up the stairs and threw myself into my room, slamming the door behind me. I grabbed my pillow and screamed into it, letting the material muffle the piercing noise.

*End Flashback*

I pulled my face from my now drenched-in-tears pillow, wiping the salted water from my face. I sniffled, and looked up at a picture I'd hung yesterday when I had moved here.

It was Jack, Milton, Jerry, Sam, Rudy, and I, all smiling as we sat at a table at the Carnival. It was taken last week, a special going away present from everyone.

I smiled at the memory. Jack had won me a large Teddy Bear, which I had named Jack. Jerry and the others had tried to win me something as well, but failed. I remember going on the ferris wheel with Jack. We'd just stared at each other for the whole ride, not saying a word. Just staring at each other. When we had gotten off, Jack had pulled me into a bone crunching hug. I remember the exact words he'd whispered into my ear.

"Kim, no matter what, you're my best friend. I will never forget you, gorgeous." He had kissed my forehead, and afterward, it had been time for me to get into the moving truck.

The departure had been excruciatingly hard.

I turned away from the photo, not wanting to think of leaving them all.

I sighed as another photo came into view. This was of Jack and me, taken a few months ago at a tournament. Jack's arm was around my waist, and mine around his neck, and we were both holding up a trophy, smiling at the camera. I smiled, remembering how we'd crushed the other dojo.

I sighed. I wish I could go back to Seaford. I looked up at the clock on my wall; the clock told me that it was time for bed. I shook my head, knowing that downstairs somewhere was my mother and step monster, probably messing up the sheets.

I turned off my light and climbed into my bed. I grabbed the teddy bear Jack had won for me and held it close.

"Goodnight," I whispered.

The next morning, my alarm woke me up. I groaned, turning it off. I yawned and rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

Great, I thought, time to get ready for a new school.

The worst part of all of this, besides being away from the people and thing that I loved most, was that I had to start a new school. I'd lived in Seaford all of my life, never changing schools except for going from Elementary to Jr. High, and then High School. And even then, I still knew everyone. But now, I had to try a new school.

I sighed, and began to get prepared for school.

I hopped into the shower, letting the warm water flow over me. I got out and put on my Wasabi Warrior hoodie over my tank top and slipped on some black and green nike shorts.

I put my hair up in a high pony tail, and put on mascara. I smiled sadly at myself in the mirror. "You ready to do this?" I asked myself. I sighed, grabbing my backpack and headed down the stairs. My mom and step monster were no where to be seen, so I assumed they were still asleep. I grabbed a granola bar and began to walk to my new school, wishing that this torcher would end.

How do you like it? I quite think I did good on this chapter. I'm going to post another chapter sometime tonight...I can't sleep. Haha, thanks, and please Review! Love you all!
