Ding dong!
Kory answered the door. It was Ryan.
"Hi Ryan!" exclaimed Kory, as happy as a five year old on sugar. "You actually came!"
"Uh, of course I came," said Ryan. "Why wouldn't I?"
Kory laughed. "Come in!" she said. "Where's Crystla?"
"She can't come," said Ryan. "She has to hang out with her friends."
"Oh," said Kory.
Nikki came over. "Hi," she said.
"Hola! Como estas?" said Ryan.
"Asi asi. Y tu?" said Nikki.
"Bien, gracias," said Ryan.
"What are you two saying?" asked Kory.
"They're asking each other how they are in Spanish," said Richard. "Time to speak English."
"Awwww," said Nikki and Ryan simultaneously.
"Where's Ava?" asked Ryan.
"Napping," said Kory. "If you wake her up, she emits a high pitched squeal equivalent to angry glorpkas."
"Uh, whatever you say, Mom," said Ryan, who obviously had no clue what glorpkas were.
"You don't wanna hear it," said Nikki.
"Oh, Nick, guess what?" said Ryan.
"What?" asked Nikki.
"Do you remember T.P. Georgeman?" asked Ryan.
"What about him?" asked Nikki.
"You know how he's famous for T.P.ing houses?" asked Ryan.
"Get to the point," said Nikki.
"Okay. Well I told him about Max ditching you, and since Max always stole his lunch money in third grade, he hates him, too," said Ryan.
"And?" said Nikki impatiently.
"He says he'll T.P. Max's apartment so bad, Max will have to move out and buy a new one," said Ryan triumphantly.
"That's mean!" exclaimed Nikki.
"And he isn't? I'm gonna show him no one, I mean NO ONE, messes with me," said Ryan.
"Oh my god, you immature freak, he isn't messing with anyone! He just likes Tiffany better," said Nikki.
"Exactly," said Ryan, oblivious to the fact that Nikki insulted him. "He dissed my family, so he's dissing me."
"He's not dissing me! He just… never mind," said Nikki.
"Awwww. You still like him," teased Ryan.
"Shut up," said Nikki.
"Nikki loves her ex, Nikki loves her ex," teased Ryan, sounding like a five year old.
"I thought you were in college," said Nikki, rolling her eyes.
"I am in college," said Ryan, confused.
"I'm pretty sure a big college man wouldn't tease his sister," said Nikki.
"I am a big college man!" exclaimed Ryan.
"Right," said Nikki sarcastically.
"Kids, dinner time," said Richard.
"Kid?" said Ryan. "I'm not a kid."
"No, but you're the most immature of us all," said Nikki.
They sat down. Kory served everyone spaghetti.
"So Ryan, why is it that you live two miles away, yet you never visit us, except every two weeks?" asked Kory.
Ryan looked uncomfortable. "I've been busy," he said.
"Making love to Crystla," Nikki muttered under her breath.
"What?" asked Richard.
"Nothing, Dad," said Nikki. "I'm just humming. Lalalalala."
Ryan cocked an eyebrow. "Anyway, as I was saying, my college professors always assign really weird stuff. Like, there was this one time I had to do a twelve-page essay on my perspective on the universal problem: The chicken or the egg?"
"Fascinating," said Kory.
"I'm done," said Nikki, getting up. "See you later." She went upstairs.
She looked out the window. For a second, she thought a blond surfer-looking boy was watching her, but then she realized it was her imagination. Or was it?
Poll time!
1)Would Max deserve it if T.P. Georgeman wrecked his apartment?
2)What did you like, and what did you hate?
Okay, I have to go to school to take the AIMS test, so REVIEW!
Love ya lots,
Chelsea
