Well, after Carlos' amazing shopping cart slingshot stunt, we just headed on back to the apartment, as if nothing exciting happened. Carlos always does death-defying stunts all the time, and it's somewhat become of a daily routine. Chiara, however, looked really mad. I knew they had a sibling rivalry, but I didn't know it was that bad.
"Chiara?" I called out, knocking on her door. "Chiara, dinner's ready."
A shuffle came from the other side as I figured Chiara was getting up from the bed. She opened the door, and she looked really comical. Her hair was everywhere, and she was wearing a black tank top and sweat pants. Her eyes were crusted, which led me to figure out that she fell asleep.
"Mmm..what time is it?" She asked.
"Seven-fifteen." I replied. "Come on, we're having fishsticks."
She smiled, and I had to really admit she was cute when she was half-asleep. She stretched her arms, bringing her tank top up, showing her belly button, which I noticed had a silver, skull piercing with onyx encrusted eyes. "Tell them I'll be there ASAP."
I couldn't tear my eyes from her belly button.
"Hey, James!" She shouted, snapping her fingers in front of my face.
"huh, what?" I asked, bringing my head up to face her. She had an amused smile, and her eyes were twinkling.
"Dude...you were staring." She said.
"I was not!" I said, affronted.
She laughed, and until now, I still think it's the cutest sound ever produced. "Don't worry, I'm not that conservative. Just head on to dinner. I'll be right there."
"O-okay." I said. I turned around and headed towards the dining room as Chiara closed the door behind her.
Kendall, Carlos and Logan were already eating by the time I got back. I noticed Mrs. Knight was cooking up more fishsticks at the kitchen, the delicious aroma wafting towards us. The others were ravenous, hoarding down as much fishsticks as they can.
"Where is she?" Logan asked, finally noticing I was there. I took as seat beside Carlos, who was more interested in the food than finding out where his sister was.
"She said she'll be out in a minute." I replied. "Apparently she was asleep. Oh, and did you know she has a belly button piercing?"
Carlos spat out a great deal of food at that remark. "Come again?"
"Apparently she was asleep?" I replied.
"No, the other part!" He said.
"Oh!" I said. "She has a belly button piercing."
Carlos stared for a good two and a half minutes, before speaking up. "You're shitting me."
I raised my hands. "I assure you, I am not."
"What is with you and Chiara, anyways, Carlos? You've been at each others throats since she arrived yesterday." Logan stated.
"Yeah. I thought you were supposed to like your sister. Katie and I have our moments, but I still love her." Kendall added.
Carlos just stared down at his food. "Just let it be, guys."
"Let it Be, Let it Be, Let it Be, oh Let it Be. Whisper words of wisdom, Let it Be..." I sang.
Everyone stared at me.
"What?" I asked defensively. "It's a great song!"
"James, I doubt singing The Beatles is going to help us right now." Logan said, rubbing his temples.
I pouted, but it quickly disappeared as Chiara came in, and sat beside me. "Hey. What's going on?"
"Nothing. Just friendly banter, as always." Logan replied, smiling at her. Carlos gagged.
Chiara just looked at them. "Well, I guess I'll just eat then."
She then stretched her arms and her shirt rode up, exposing her bellybutton.
We all stared as we caught glimpse of a skull-shaped object embedded onto her skin.
Carlos POV
07: 30 pm
Okay. I have a lot of questions buzzing in my mind right now. But I cannot think clearly when I clearly see that she does have some sort of belly button piercing. To say I was shocked was a huge understatement. I had the sudden itch to call my parents and ask them if they knew. My mama will have no problem with this, but my papa...well, let's just say that he hates any sort of jewelry attached to any part of the body other than the ears.
"When did you get a piercing?" I asked.
She stared at me. "What the hell do you mean? I've had that piercing since I turned sixteen."
"B-but..we have the same birthday! How on earth did I not notice that?" I asked.
"Well, you were too busy asking mama for a race car that you didn't even bother." She replied coldly. "You never did bother."
"How did you get around papa?" I asked incredulously.
"For your information, Papa is okay with it." She said. "It was our sixteenth birthday! What did you expect?"
Kendall cut in before there was a full-on out Garcia fight. "Guys. It's dinner. Let's just be civilized for thirty minutes, okay?"
Chiara and I agreed, although reluctant.
"Great." Kendall said. "Now, let's eat dinner, as if nothing happened, and talk about great times between us, alright?"
We agreed, though reluctantly. Mrs. Knight came over and laid over remaining fishsticks on the table. "Alright, that's the last of it. Kendall, Logan, I'll be leaving shortly."
We all looked up. "Why?"
"There's this new book out that has Fabio on the front cover. I want to get a copy." She said, sighing slightly. We all stifled our snickers.
"Anyways, I'll be back by midnight. Kendall, Logan, you two are in charge. Make sure Katie is asleep by eleven, and you guys should be in bed by twelve, or before I get home, alright? And NO parties." She said sternly. Don't get me wrong, Mrs. K is cool, but she can be deadly. Literally.
"Okay, mom." Kendall said.
Mrs. Knight left and closed the apartment door behind her. It was just the six of us in the apartment.
"Sooo..." Kendall began. "What do you guys say about a movie marathon?"
I raised my eyebrows. "Scary movie marathon?"
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Saw III, Paranormal Activity and It?" Logan challenged.
"Oh yeah..." Kendall said, smirking.
We raced to the couch and Kendall started digging around for the movies we wanted to watch. Chiara stayed by the table, her eyes filled with fear. She's always hated horror films. I thought I finally had a break from her, but James insisted on her watching.
"Come on, Char char," James whined. "It'll be fine!"
She tried to break herself free. "James..I really don't think I should...I-I mean, scary movies aren't my type...I might just hang on to you screaming for the rest of the night."
"Don't worry about it!" James insisted. "I'll protect you from the big bad scary ghosts."
I gagged.
"Well...if you say it's okay..." Chiara said, hesistantly.
"I won't care at all!" James insisted. "Please?"
"James!" Kendall shouted. "Come on man, sit down! The movie's about to start."
I looked at James and Chiara, and scowled. They sat down on the couch, Chiara squeezed in between James and Logan. We were in for a long night.
A/N: Guys, if you want an exact description of Chiara, watch "Big Time Halloween" and see Carlos in girl form. You'll see it. I promise. :D
