Kendall pov.
We're on our way to find Nic then I realize, I don't have the slightest idea where he is. I stop and take out my cell phone.
"'Lo?" he answers sleepily.
"Nic! Sweetie, where are you?" I ask. I hear him sigh.
"Kendall? Hey dude, I'm at my dad's place. Wassup?" he asks sounding like he's going back to sleep.
"Nothing honey. Just wondering where you were. Go back to sleep." I say. He mhmms and hangs up. "He's at his dad's." I say. Greenlee smiles and we make our way down to her car. The drive there is silent but I practically knock the door down when we get there.
"Hol' up. I'm...comin." yep he was definitely asleep again. He opens the door looking slightly adorable. His hair is all out in different directions, eyes half open. Just like Greenlee.
"Guys, can I have a minute...alone with prince charming here?" I ask. Greenlee, Bianca, and Maggie nod and move away a bit. I turn back to Nic, smile firmly in place. "Pack your things. You're grounded." I say. His brows furrow in confusion.
"Huh? What'd I do?" he asks scratching his head.
"Well Nic, running away from home and scaring the hell out of us, not to mention destruction of public property, the courthouse." I say still smiling.
"But I..." he starts.
"Nuh uh. Don't wanna hear it. Get your stuff." I say again.
"Ken-" I stop him.
"Now." I say. He sighs and stomps back to his room pouting. He comes back out with two duffel bags. "I'll send for the rest of your things tomorrow." I say. He nods and pouts his way to the car.
"Kendall, can't we talk about this?" he asks. I shake my head.
"No can do kiddo. Speaking of talking...cellphone." I say holding out my hand.
"But I need it! For school in case of emergencies...a-and after practice..." he tries. I shake my head and continue to hold my hand out. He takes his flip phone out of his pocket looking at it sadly. He puts it into my hand and I drop it in my purse. I go ahead and get back in the car while he puts his stuff into the trunk. He gets in between Bianca and Maggie. "How long?" he asks.
"Three weeks." I say driving away.
"Three weeks for what?" Greenlee asks.
"He's grounded for three weeks." I say. I hear greenlee snort a little.
"Aww Kendall, don't you think three weeks is a little harsh?" Maggie asks. She's got a soft spot for the boy.
"Yeah Kendall. It wasn't that bad and he's alright. That's all that matters."Bianca adds.
"Fine...two." I say.
"But..." he and Maggie whine at once.
"You want it back to three?" I ask. They both get quiet and I see Greenlee smirking out the corner of my eye. We're all quiet for a few minutes.
"Kendall?" I hear. I look up into the rear view mirror.
"Yeah kiddo?" I reply.
"Football practice is over at 6pm tomorrow night." he says. I smile.
"What position you make?" I ask. He smiles proudly.
"Second quarterback." he says.
"Nice." I say.
"You're the pitcher dude?" Greenlee asks. I hear him scoff.
"You don't know what you're talkin bout do ya?" he asks. She laughs a little and shakes her head.
"Not the slightest idea." he nods.
"S'alright. I'll teach ya. Pitchers are baseball. I'm a quarterback so I basically call plays, throw, sometimes run, keep everybody on their toes." he says. She nods understanding. He broke it down for her. He's so sweet.
"But you're second?" she asks. He nods.
"Yeah, I can play if Addison gets sick. She's doin good though." he says.
"You have girls on your team?" I ask. This I didn't know.
"Yeah. Like six. Most of em are better than the boys." he says. I nod.
"You're actually on the high school team? When I was in school, you had to be a sophomore to even try out." Maggie says.
"Nah, I play for the middle school. If I stay on the team, they'll just transfer me next year." he says. "Speakin of that. I need twenty bucks Kendall." he says.
"For?..." I prod.
"Physical exam. I've already taken it I just keep forgettin to pay." he says. I nod and motion for Greenlee to take it out of my purse. "Thanks." he says out of nowhere.
"For that? No problem." I say.
"For bringin me home." he says sitting back. I just smile up at him and continue to drive.
The next day...
Nic pov.
So I'm home, grounded, and I got asked alotta questions last night. Didn't bother me. It just shows they care and they missed me. Makes me feel good to have a family.
"Hi." I look up and see this pretty blond girl.
"Hey." I say then pause. "You go to school here?" I ask. She nods.
"Yep. 8th grade." she says. "You're an 8th grader too?" she asks. I shake my head.
"Nah, I'm a high school freshman. I'm just playin for your school." I say. She looks shocked.
"No way you're in high school." she says.
"Way. I got skipped. I'm Nic." I say holdin out my hand.
"Cool. I'm Colby Chandler." she says. I offer her a smile. Then I frown.
"Like...THE Chandlers?" I ask. She smiles sadly.
"Yeah. My father is the Adam Chandler." she says. I nod.
"Don't feel bad. My family is weird too." I've heard about the Chandlers. They seem...almost typical.
"Can't be as weird as mine." she says.
"I got two moms, three aunts, and uncle, one grandpa, one grandma." I say. She raises an eyebrow like so?
"That sounds pretty normal." she says. I laugh.
"My moms are: Kendall Hart and Greenlee Smythe. Aunts are :Bianca Montgomery, Lily Montgomery, Maggie Stone; uncle Reggie Montgomery; Grandpa, Jack Montgomery and grandma is the real kicker...Erica Kane." I say. She laughs shakin her head.
"Ouch. So you're a Kane huh?" she asks. I nod. Greenlee could never be my sister. Her and Kendall are too parental.
"Yeah. It hurts sometimes to be part of that family but it's cool. No matter how much drama, they pull together." I say. She nods.
"My dad and brother are...kinda cool. When they wanna be." I chuckle.
"So just a brother? No sisters?" I ask. She shakes her head.
"None that I'm aware of." she says. I nod.
"No siblings yet but I got an Xbox." I say brightly.
"I thought we were talking families here." she says with a chuckle. I nod.
"Boxie is a member of the family." I say. "She's a beauty." I say proudly. She giggles a little. "You got one?" I ask.
"She broke." she says. I offer my condolences.
"Sorry for your loss." I say. She nods. "You're a cheerleader?" I ask noticin her 'fit.
"Yeah. Needed a way to pass the time." she says. I nod and notice Kendall pull up.
"Cool. Well I gotta go. Parental unit is here. See ya." I say. She waves as I make my way to the car.
"How was practice?" she asks. I nod.
"Great." I say. She nods back.
"Good." she says. It's good to be home. "Today you start helping with fusion." she says. I spoke too soon.
