"Welcome back" Her dad said when Thorn opened her eyes.
"What? What happened" She said, sitting up
"You passed out. I've never seen the hot head move so fast" Kris said, looking at Warren, "you could give Speed a run for his money"
"Shut up" he said, not bothering to look at anyone
"Oh" Thorn said, looking at Him, "thanks"
"Don't mention it" He said
"Really, don't" Kris added. The room got silent. Thorn looked around, and realized the others had left.
"Where did. . ." Thorn began
"The rest of his posies go? They left, mom thought it was best" Kris said, smiling.
"Then why is. . ." Thorn tried again
"Warren still here? Mom thought it was best he stay the night" Se said, winking.
"Really" Thorn said, in sarcastic disbelief
"My mother isn't home, she went to visit my father, so I'm staying here" he said dryly. Thorns father moved away from her and walked out of the room
"Oh don't worried about me, guys, I can get up by myself, it's not like I just passed out or anything" Thorn said loudly
"Okay" Kris said, following her dad. Warren rolled his eyes, and helped her up. He held her hand for what could be classified as a little longer than normal, then let go
"oh, my friend, Jasmine, is coming over too, so we can have a party, wont that be fun?" Kris said, popping her head back through the doorway
"Loads" Thorn muttered, only Warren heard, he smirked.
"You two don't get along?" he offered
"Never. We weren't friends when my parents were together. And now that she's live with mom for three years, she's worse" Thorn said, throwing her arms up in the air for emphasis, "come on, if we get to my room fast enough, maybe we can get out the window" when Warren didn't move, Thorn grabbed his arm and started dragging him up the stairs.
"I can walk" he said
"Then prove it" Thorn said, "walk up the stars, straight into my room, then out the window"
"Where are you too going?" Thorn's mother said. Thorn sighed.
"Up to my room mother," She said, not bothering to look at her, "you thought 'it was best' that Warren stay here, and I'm not about to let him suffer with you guys down here, I'm not that vindictive" she added
". . . fine, behave" she said, walking back into the living room
"Rosy and Warren, sitting in a tree" Kris sang, following her mother
"I swear, I'm going to kill her" Thorn mumble, "so much for our jail break"Walking past Warren and up to her room.
"Nice room" Warren said sarcastically. The room was blank. The only other color in it, other than white, was black, the bed. A black cast iron canopy, with black lace curtain, black pillows, black sheets and a black comforter.
"Thanks" Thorn said, sitting down on the bed. She reached under the bed and pulled out her laptop "You may not know it, but I've conquered Europe"
"What?" he asked.
"Ya. By day I'm a normal girl. But my night, when I'm not sleeping, I'm a global conquer" She said, showing Warren her Medieval Total War disk.
"Oh" he said and Thorn looked at him.
"I was just kidding. So how do you know Kris, again?" Thorn asked, still confused as to how Kris knew so much about her friends.
"We go to school together. She's a senior." he answered.
"Oh. Is she like that at school too?"
"She's worse. Her and her group of friends are a bunch of bullies and snobs."
"ROSY!" Kris yelled upstairs.
Thorn groaned and rolled her eyes.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" She yelled back.
"People are arriving! You and Torch up there need to come down and make an appearance. I want all my friends to meet my baby sister!"
"Um, No!" Thorn called down.
When there was no more yelling coming from Kris, they assumed she'd given up. They were so wrong.
Suddenly she appeared in Thorn's room, at the end of her bed with her hands on her hips.
"We can do this the easy way, or the hard way." she said, "well actually, their both easy for me" Thorn glared at her, and put her laptop away.
"I don't do parties" She said, sitting back up, "and I'm sure Warren would rather eat worms than go downstairs"
"Well, that's too bad" Kris said, grabbing both of them and then suddenly, they were in the living room.
"How did. . ." Thorn started to say, but stopped her self, "Never mind, I don't want to know"
"Who invited the Loser?" some guy said.
"Speed? Do my a favor." Kris said.
"Anything!"
"Go away" She said, and he was gone. Thorn blinked.
"Supper speed." Warren said, referring to the guy.
"Oh" was all Thorn could say.
"Hay! Shay! Over here" Kris yelled, "her name's Jasmine O'Shay, so everyone calls her Shay" She added
"what's up?" Shay asked, "Oh, is this your sister? She seriously needs some new friends." She said, looking at Warren and scowling.
"Ya this is my sister, and don't worry, their not her friends anymore, Mom said Warren could stay the night because his moms not home." Kris said.
Thorn growled.
"Oh, that's good, we don't want her picking up bad habits. Why isn't she at Sky high?"
"She doesn't have any powers."
"Stop talking about me like I'm not here!" Thorn said, Kris grabbed her arm before she had a chance to leave.
"Where are you going? There are more people you have to meet, Shay, where's Lash?"
"Right here" A guy, Thorn presumed it was Lash, said.
"Let go" Thorn growled at Kris.
"No." Kris said, smiling. Thorn struggled out of her grip, and started heading for the door.
"I am out of here." She said, grabbing Warren hand and walking towards the door.
"Rosethorn Elizabeth Drake! You're not going anywhere!" Kris said, suddenly blocking the way out. "Besides, you haven't met my boyfriend yet."
Warren groaned.
Kris glared. Then she grabbed Thorn's hand, and walked back into the house.
"Lash! Where's Damien?" she asked, as a small group formed around her.
It was Shay, Lash, and Speed. Shay was leaning on Lash, and Speed was practically drooling over Krista.
"King went into the kitchen." Speed replied, trying to capture Krista's attention..
"Excellent. My favorite man in my favorite room." Kris said with a smile.
"God!" Thorn exclaimed, embarrassed and enraged by Kris's actions. "King?" she asked, almost as an afterthought.
"That's what they call him. I'm pretty sure it's his last name." Warren answered.
Krista spun around when she heard his voice, obviously not realizing he'd been following behind us.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"He's coming with us." Thorn answered defensively, her angry violet eyes locking with her sister's cold grey ones.
"Fine. But don't say anything." she said, looking back at Warren with a disgusted glance.
"Where are mom and dad?" Thorn asked, suddenly realizing that the house was overrun by teens and knowing their parents wouldn't allow this sort of thing.
"They went out for the night. They know how responsible I am." Kris answered.
When Thorn gave her a disbelieving look, Kris added, "Me and my friends will have this place looking spotless again before they get back, and no one will know the difference."
"I'll know." Thorn said.
"But you won't say anything." Kris answered, not even bothering to look back.
"Babe! There you are! This fudge cake is awesome!" a guy called out. He was a little taller than Warren, had light brown hair the fell right below his ears. He was good-looking, but in a rough sort of way.
"Damien! I've been looking for you." Kris said, walking up to him and kissing him.
"I know. Shay told me. I came back here to look for you." he answered.
"And eat my cake! That was supposed to be for tomorrow." she pouted.
Thorn was amazed. She'd never seen her sister pout before. In fact, she'd never seen her sister show anything besides confidence, and that evil look when she's bullying someone.
"C'mon Kris, I only had a piece." the guy said, shoving the rest of it into his mouth before she grabbed it from him.
"Whatever," she said, clearly mad at him, "This is my little sister, Rosy. Rosy, this is my boyfriend, Damien."
"Don't call me that!" Thorn growled at her.
Both Kris and Damien ignored her.
Damien put his arm around Kris and stuck his hand out for Thorn to shake.
"Glad to finally meet you." he said, in a very cocky tone.
"Wish I could say the same." Thorn muttered, and kept her hands at her side.
Damien flashed her an evil grin, then looked at Kris.
"What's Torch doin' here? You didn't invite him, did you?" he asked, looking from her to Warren.
"Not in this lifetime. You know you really need to wake up. Like I'd invite him, a sophomore, to one of my parties." She said, shoving away from him and walking out of the kitchen.
"What the hell is your problem!" Damien shouted, to which the whole crowd froze.
"Not again." Lash sighed.
"Yes!" Speed said and sped straight to Kris, who walked right past him, towards Shay.
"Don't yell at me!" she yelled back.
"Oh my God." Warren muttered.
"Wanna leave?" Thorn asked. In the background you could here Damien and Kris yelling at each other.
"Absolutely." Warren answered, and they slipped out the back door.
They walked outside and down the back steps into the diner's kitchen.
"Are they always like that?" Thorn asked, after they sat down at one of the tables.
"Yeah." he answered.
"Wow. She's a bitch." Thorn replied.
"I know . . . . why are we here?"
"We walked down the stairs. They lead us to the kitchen, and now we're sitting in the diner."
"I meant why are we here. I thought you didn't like me?"
"I - I. . . . . I don't know anymore. I'm so confused!"
"Tell me about it."
"Ok well-"
"That's not what I meant. I meant it like, 'obviously'."
"Oh." Thorn replied, trying not to laugh at herself. "I'm an idiot." she mumbled.
Warren didn't respond. Kile came up and asked if they wanted anything, but they both just shook their heads.
"Look, I appreciate your parents letting me stay here, but I don't really want to. I'll see ya around." he said, and got up.
"Whatever." Thorn answered cooly, and Warren left.
She sighed, and then put her head in her hands.
She could here the noise coming from Kris and her friends and had no desire to return there. She got up, ran behind the counter to grab a water, and walked out of the diner.
She quickly jogged to the gazebo and sat down, leaning her head back against the cool wood, and fell asleep.
