Some of the continuation i just don't get. How can Kim be so jealous in Gorilia Fist to saying in So The Drama Ron is "just a friend" ,
I just take it that way from the way she was talking to her mother.
KIM: "Mom? Okay, Bonnie's with Brick, so she's all high horse, all boys, and the stupid prom and the food chain, and, and... I'm gonna end up with Ron!"
KIM: "Mom, he's not a guy, he's Ron."
KIM: "Well, yeah. He's my best friend."
Mrs. Dr P: "But he's not boyfriend material?"
Kim: "Obviously."
Mrs. Dr P: "Because of the food chain".
Kim: "No. Yes. Well, kind of. The person you go with, it makes a statement."
I don't think she meant it to sound as an insult to Ron but just that when you are friends with someone since pre-school and you are not yet a couple and you do go to JR prom with them it will cause people to say she could not get anyone else. Let's just say if Kim and Ron would have been officially a couple she would have no problem going with him. It think it's clear Kim just wanted to prove a point to Bonnie. This quote from Kim "Okay, a little. Just once, I'd like to make her eat her words." Proves it imo.
I think this also put's to bed the rebound theory because it was never about Eric, It was plainly about making a statement.
I think this theory is the only way to explain why kim act's different in the movie from gorillia fist...
