Okay so I have a poll in my profile about this series because… I have a lot of ideas… Yay ideas! Anywho, Thanks to all my wonder, wonderful reviewers and my readers because ya'll just make me happy to see my hit count go up. Oh and I'm sorry this took a while, but I've been working on my site and when it's all done I will put the link so you all can marvel at my geekiness XD
Oh, another note, this chapter is kind of inspired by/based off the song It Isn't Easy by the One Life to Live 'A Prom to Remember'… I like Soap Operas, sue me.
Disclaimer: I Own nothing but an over active imagination and Kiki and Larissa… Also I would like to take Jackson Rathbone. Can you say Smexy Sokka? I can.
Chapter Fourteen
Larissa was still angry with Jimmie. His reasoning behind asking Tiara was… she was hot and wanted to go with him. He had, of course, been confused about Kiki running off, everyone had been, but Larissa had made up some lie about her not feeling well. Then Larissa had left too, but she hadn't been able to find Kiki.
Now it was Saturday and Larissa was annoyed.
"Seriously Larissa, I'm not going, just take Jimmie and…. Her." Larissa had called Kiki hoping to convince her to come along. It wouldn't be too hard to get an extra seat. She just really didn't want to be the fifth wheel on a date involving Tiara.
"But Kiki, I want you to have fun and be happy."
"Which is exactly why I am not going." Kiki said. Larissa sighed.
"Just think about it Kiki. Please, for me?"
"I'll think about it Riss, but it's probably going to be a no." she said before she hung up. Larissa put her phone on the desk and sighed. She looked at her dress, hanging from her door and picked up her phone, dialing Donny's number. He picked up on the second ring.
"Hey babe."
"Hey D." She sighed, plopping down on her bed.
"What's up?" He asked her. She looked up at the ceiling of her room. She didn't have a normal ceiling since her room was in the attic. Her ceiling joined up at the top in a point.
"Kiki doesn't want to go to prom."
"Did she ever?" Larissa sighed.
"No… but I was sure Jimmie was going to ask her and she would have said yes and then we could have doubled with our best friends and prom would have been perfect. But no, Jimmie had to ruin it by asking Tiara." Larissa pouted.
"I still don't entirely understand why he did it." Donny said. "I mean… both Rocket Man and Kiki were acting weird on Saturday night but…"
"Donny they're Jimmie and Kiki they always act a bit weird." Larissa interrupted.
"Yeah… but this time they were really weird like… nervous weird." Donny said, trying to find a way to put it that made sense.
"Nervous weird?"
"Yeah like… jumpy. Rocket Man spouted a bunch of nonsense then when I asked Kiki about it she got defensive."
"Well she's always,"
"More defensive." Larissa thought about that. Kiki was normally a pretty defensive person so more defensive for her was pretty big. She bit her lip.
"I wonder what's up…"
"Okay enough about Kiki and Jimmie." Donny decided. "They can work out their messes on their own for now. Meanwhile how is everything going as far as Prom Prep?" Larissa grinned, that was one of the many reasons why she was with Donny.
"Great. My hair is done, my mom's going to come up to do my nails soon and the dress looks incredible." She looked over at the satin frock hanging from the door with a grin. This was going to be the perfect night. Of course then she'd have to start planning for next Year's prom, but whatever. She could worry about that later. She crossed her ankles and smiled happily.
"Great. I'll be there at six to pick you up and then we'll meet Jimmie and… Tiara… at the restaurant." He nodded.
"Exactly." Larissa said, looking at her feet. "Hey Donny?" She said slowly.
"Yeah?" Donny asked, trying to think of anything he might have forgotten that went in the short amount of time he was going to be without her. After that if something was happening it was in her hands.
"Umm… I love you." She paused, to see how he would react. Donny took a moment to respond.
"Oh I um… wow… thanks." He said lamely. Inside he was panicking. He knew a lot of people didn't take I love you seriously but his mother had stressed the importance of the word to him, especially after his dad left, and Larissa took it seriously too, after all she was Larissa, she took everything seriously.
"Thanks?" She asked, unhappy now.
"I have to go." He said quickly, hanging up and tossing the phone away like it burned him. Larissa looked at her phone, blinking rapidly. She could feel the panic rising in her chest.
"Oh my god what did I just do?"
Kiki was upset, heck yes she was upset. She had just hung up with Larissa and was ignoring Sharpay banging on her door. She had recently installed a new doorknob with a lock on it for this very purpose. Her parents were not fans of the idea of their kids having doors with locks but quite frankly if Sharpay locked her in the closet one more time Kiki was going to kill someone. This way Sharpay couldn't get into the room in the first place.
"Go away Sharpay!" She yelled, getting up and going to the mirror. Maybe it was the hair maybe that was why Jimmie chose Tiara. She ran a hand through her shoulder length blonde locks. She had thought it was a good idea at the time. Maybe it was being Tiara was significantly tanner than Kiki. The first time she found herself looking in the mirror wondering Kiki had chastised herself, but then after a while of sulking she decided that for this one night she could have a bit of vanity time and wonder why the hell Jimmie would pick that air headed, self centered British Twit over her.
"This is going to drive me crazy." She muttered, looking down at her outfit. She was not going to prom so she opted for her Wildcat sweats with her name embroidered on the back of the hoodie. She ran a hand through her hair again and turned away from the mirror going back to the bed. She bit her lip, going to her bag, she dug the card out of the bottom and sighed, putting it back in it's original hiding place. Seeing as her biggest reason for staying was now a bust… Her phone rang and she hurried to answer it, only hearing heaving sobs on the other end.
"Larissa?" Kiki asked, looking at the ID on the phone.
"I messed up Keeks." She managed to push out between sobs.
"What do you mean? What did you do Larissa?" Kiki asked, confused.
"I-I was talking to Donny, and… and… and." She stopped, trying to catch her breath.
"Larissa,"
"I told him I loved him." She wailed. Kiki frowned. Wasn't that a good thing?
"Well what did he do?" She asked.
"He said thanks and hung up." Kiki frowned. Oh… that was why she was upset.
"Larissa calm down, breathe, in and out, in and out." It took a while but Larissa eventually calmed down.
"Oh my god what if he doesn't want to go to prom now? I'm going to be dateless? I made reservations Kiki!"
"Larissa I'm sure-"
"I can't show up alone to a reservation for four!"
"What about Jimmie and Tiara?"
"They're not coming! Jimmie texted me saying they couldn't make it." She sobbed. Oh of course Tiara wouldn't want to spend any time with Donny or Larissa.
"Larissa just-"
"My night is ruined! I spent days… months… years Kiki, years, planning this thing. I've dreamed about the perfect Prom since I was five years old!"
"That's a bit of an exaggeration."
"No Kiki's it's not My aunt Gina went to Prom and I got to see her in her dress and she talked about how great her night was… I wanted a perfect night too and now it won't happen!"
"Larissa you're a junior there's always next year."
"I wanted this year to be perfect! I have a best friend, I had a boyfriend! Then you and Jimmie ruined the double date possibility and now I messed up the boyfriend part!" Larissa sounded close to a breakdown.
"Alright Riss calm down… I'll pick you up in an hour." Kiki deadpanned.
"Really?" Larissa said, her breathing evening out.
"Yes, If you can't spend it with your boyfriend what kind of best friend would I be if,"
"Kiki you are amazing. I so owe you for this one."
"Yeah, you definitely do." Kiki agreed before hanging up. Then she stood and went to the door. "Alright Sharpay," She said opening the door. "You win… prom me up."
