Sorry for the delay, Enjoy….

Kendall ran out of Ronaldo's house in hurry, followed by Ronaldo who was semi- dressed and calling out to her. "Kendall, please let me explain." "Just stay away from me you jerk and I never want to see you again." She yelled. She ran until her feet gave out. "I should be furious that pig cheated on me, but why am I this calm." She thought to herself and lay down on the grass looking up at the sky. "I guess now I can concentrate on finishing at Mellowbrook High at the top of my class." She mumbled and closed her eyes to basking in the sunlight and fell asleep, knowing that she won't be bothered by anyone because this was her secret place.

An hour later, she felt something overshadowing her. She opened her eyes to find none other than Mr Awesome himself, Kick Buttowski. She smiled and closed her eyes ignoring him. "Nice place you've got here." he said sitting down. She opened her eyes, "OMG, What are you doing here?" she asked getting up to see if he was alone. "Aren't you gonna ask me what I'm doing here?" he asked before lying down on the grass. "How did you find this place Clarence?" she asked furiously. "Would it kill you to call me Kick?" he asked sitting up. "It wouldn't! But I like Clarence. It's a lot more… I don't know." she said. "Unless you would like me to call you Francis?" she teased. "Clarence it is!" he said with a horrific face. "Now how, did you find this place?" she asked. "Promise not to judge?" he asked. "I'll try not to." she said. He looked at her with puppy eyes. "Okay fine, I won't" she said. "I saw you come in here sometime back. So I came here the next day and I've been coming here when I needed some meditation time." He explained. "Oh no, I've broken the pact with my sister." She started to hyperventilate. "Hey calm down Kendall, I didn't tell anyone about this place, not even Gunther." He said trying to calm her down. "You don't understand, this place is supposed to be a secret, my secret" she said panicking. Kick saw that there was no way to change the situation

"So how did you find this place?" Kick asked trying to change the topic. "It's a generation thing I guess, my sister told me about it but made me swear to keep it's location a secret. I guess my mum told her about it when she was younger. I come here all the time, just to be alone. It makes me think of my mum a lot. It makes me feel close to her in a way." She said sobbing.

"Kick listen, I don't feel like company." She sighed dejectedly. "I saw what happened." He confessed as he took her hand and pulled her back down to sit. "I don't want to talk about it." She said turning away from his gaze. "Okay, but for what it's worth, you deserve better." Kick said trying to lighten the mood. Kendall smiled at the words that left Kicks mouth. "Thanks, I guess." She said after a moment of silence. "So I won't tell anyone about this place if you won't." he said lifting her face by her chin. "I don't have a choice now do I?" she deadpanned. "It could be our place." He said only realising what he said after it left his mouth. "I mean our place, separately, you know, my secret and your secret." he said trying to correct himself. Kendall found it amusing watching him squirm, "I know what you mean Clarence" She said putting him out of his misery. "So does this make us friends?" Kendall asked. "I guess it does, secret friends." He replied. "Yeah, I mean, we can't let people think that we're really friends, we have reputations." Kendall said. "Yeah you're right." He agreed as they laughed. "Thanks Clarence." She said sincerely. "For?" he asked curiously. "For being a friend, I didn't know talking to you would make me feel so much better." She said gratefully. "You're welcome Kendall." He said. "I better get going, I have to get to class and I think you do to." She said getting up. "Yeah you're right." He said. "You should go first." He suggested. "Thanks" she said as she made her way back to school. She made it time for her last class, mathematics with Mr Karpowski. She settled in her seat and got her books out, ready for class to begin, when Kick strolled into class and sat in his usual place, adjacent to her. The entire class she glanced over at Kick and thought about how much they have grown over the past few years. He was taller than her now; he traded the white jumpsuit for blue sand blasted jeans, a black muscle hugger t-shirt and Timberland boots. He's now a chick magnet. He bought a Harley for his 18th birthday and he uses that to travel to school, gone are the days of his scooter. His stunts were a lot more dangerous than before. She was pulled out of her thoughts when the teacher walked into class.

While the class was busy with the lesson, Kick glanced over at Kendall and thought about what happened earlier. She's not so bad once you get to know her and she has grown into one hell of a chick. She had curves in all the right places; she had the beauty and the brains. I'm glad she's not with that jerk Ronaldo anymore, she deserves better. He was abruptly pulled out of this thoughts by Mr Karpowski. "Tell Mr Buttowski, what is the answer or do you care to share your thoughts to the class." Mr Buttowski asked Kick. "Yeah well that wouldn't be fair to the rest of the class, now would it, sir?" Kick answered. "Basically I don't understand the entire section." He answered sinking into his chair. "It seems you need extra help with this, I suggest Ms Perkins help you out with that, since she's the only one who will keep you in line." He said causing both Kendall and Kick to look at each other. "That's no fair" Kick interjected. "I also do don't think it's a good idea Mr Karowski." Kendall added. "There's no around this Ms Perkins, just think of it as extra credit." He said returning to the chalk board.

After class, Kendall watched as the girls surrounded Kick as if her were a piece of meat and she waited until he was alone to make arrangements for his tuitions. It was almost the end of there high school career and she had her work cut out for her. Kick saw Kendall standing at the lockers looking his way, so he tried helplessly trying to get rid of the vultures that surrounded him. Finally the buzzer sounded and the girls left him, he walked over to Kendall. "Sorry about that, these girls just don't know when to give up." He apologised. "No need to apologise, you never know, you may need one of them to take to prom." She laughed. "Na, those girls are not my type." he said looking at them in the distance. "Besides I'm going alone, don't need the pressure of dressing fancy for that." he said pointing at the homecoming King and Queen poster. "Anyways, where would like to have your tuitions?" she asked. "Look, Kendall, don't have to do it, if you don't want to." He said. "I need the extra credit to get into Harvard." She said. "Okay then, how about my place?" he asked. "Yeah sure, that's fine with me." She replied. "Cool, so see you later then?" he asked. "Yeah." She confirmed then they went their separate ways.

There you go. Hope you enjoy. Please leave your reviews.
