Hello y'all! I would like to thank you for the reviews, and I'm sorry that I took so long…but teachers are harsh. (I'm sure you're aware)
Anyways…I'm excited about this story!
Disclaimer: I own nothing…except for Jade Diamond!
…
I awoke suddenly to noises in the kitchen. My curiosity got the best of me, and I knew I couldn't fall back asleep, so I got out of bed. I stretched and read the digital clock on my nightstand: 9:03. Not too early, I suppose.
I got my eight hours if I counted when I fell asleep on Kendall.
Speaking of which, I don't know what to do with that boy.
I don't want to start something, just for it to end when one of us has to pack up and leave again.
I shuffled into the kitchen to find Mrs. Knight clad in navy blue sweatpants and a gray hoodie.
"Good morning, Mama Knight," I said with a rather cheery morning-voice.
"Morning!" she chirped back. "I was just about to fix pancakes for everyone,"
I went over to the bar stool and took a seat. "That sounds wonderful,"
She smiled to herself and started getting things out for our breakfast.
"What went on last night?" she asked. Not much, your son and I kissed twice and fell asleep together…
"We all decided to watch a movie and eat popcorn," I told her.
"That sounds nice. I was worried that you and James were going to have a rough first day," she confessed.
"We sort of did, but we're good now," I assured.
"Big brothers are very protective," she stated.
"No kidding," I sighed. "He about went nuts about how I grew up and he missed it,"
"You can't blame him," she reasoned. "You and him were separated for two whole years!"
The conversation went on until the pancakes were done.
"Could you go wake the Katie and the boys?" she asked.
"I'm on it," I told her.
I walked down the hall and found a room that said 'Katie's Room!' on the door and cracked the door open.
"Katie!" I whisper shouted, and to my dismay that actually worked.
"What?" she said in a groggy voice, rubbing her eyes.
"Your mom fixed us pancakes, do you wanna help me get the guys up?"
"Duh!" she exclaimed while hopping out of her bed.
We into the hallway, with her leading the way. She shushed me and put her hand on a silver doorknob. She opened the door swiftly and yelled, "GET UP!".
I was even surprised, and damn that girl can yell! Kendall and Logan were woken by the outburst and they reacted in two different ways. Logan fell completely out of his bed, and Kendall jumped out of bed in a ninja stance.
Katie and I both burst into laughter, nearly rolling on the floor.
"What was that for?" Kendall said, clearly pissed. He looked very adorable when he was mad. He was wearing green plaid boxers and a black t-shirt. Mmm…I couldn't help but stare.
I shook myself out of my trance and quickly said, "Pancakes are on the table,".
I walked out of the hallway, seeing James walk out of his room.
"What the hell, Katie?" James said, rubbing his head. Carlos came out yawning behind my brother.
"Hey! We needed some way to get you guys up, and I only had to do it once," she explained.
"It's a new record!" I said high-fiving the 12-year-old. We laughed evilly and headed to the kitchen.
"Good morning boys!" Mama Knight greeted.
"It was…," Kendall started. "Until they woke us up!"
All of us girls laughed at this. I felt a little awkward around the green-eyed boy, but ate my breakfast listening to everyone talk back and forth.
"The pancakes were delicious, mom," Kendall said, kissing her cheek. "I am going to the pool, who else wants to come?" he asked, looking directly at me.
I felt a shiver when his eyes met mine, and he mentioned the pool.
"I'll go!" Carlos said, raising his hand like a kindergarten student.
"I'm going to meet Camille down there," Logan said while blushing a light pink color. "You have to meet her, Jade," he beamed.
"Actually, I already did," I told him. "Down in the lobby, yesterday. She's a catch," I winked.
He chuckled and went off to get ready.
"I'm down for some pool time, how about my sis?" James asked.
"Okay," I stuttered out.
"Awesome," said Kendall, clapping his hands together. "Let's be ready in 10,"
I started to clear the table as the remaining boys went to get ready.
"Go get ready!" Mrs. Knight instructed. "You need to relax instead of always trying to help!" she chuckled.
I listened to Mama Knight and went to the guest room. Since my green swimsuit was still damp from last night, I chose a simple black bikini and a teal sundress.
I pulled my hair into a sloppy, yet cute bun and went into the living room. Carlos and Logan were waiting on the couch.
"Hola!" I said.
"Hey!" both of them said.
"I wish they would hurry up," Logan said.
"I'm sure Camille is so anxious to see you," Carlos said while sticking his tongue out.
"I know that she is...because I'm going to ask her back out," Logan declared.
"You seem more confident than I remember, Logie," I teased with a nudge.
He pretended to 'pop his collar' and chuckled.
Then Kendall and James walked into the living room. Kendall was wearing black and white plaid trunks. What was with this boy and plaid? At least he's adorable.
Stop that Jade, you can't let yourself give in.
"Well, James is finally ready," Kendall said annoyed. "He thinks that he needs hair gel to go swimming," he rolled his eyes.
"At least I try to look good. Take some pride in yourself buddy!" James said with a gleaming smile.
Kendall furrowed his eyebrows and I could tell that he was resisting hitting my brother, playfully of course.
...
"No Carlos! I will kill you!" I shouted as Carlos grabbed my arm, trying to get ahold of me to throw me into the pool. I was kicking and punching him, even when I was over his shoulder. With one swift movement of muscles, a shirtless Carlos threw me into the pool.
Deja vu, my friends.
I resurfaced and saw James and Carlos high-fiving and laughing.
"Carlos!" I grumbled. "Now my dress is soaked! You could've at least let me take it off first!"
"I'm sorry, but I had to make up for lost time, Diamond," he said with a smirk.
I slipped and kicked my way out of my sopping wet dress and threw it over beside my stuff.
I swam over to the ladder and got out of the pool, leaving a lot of people staring at me. I shook off the feeling of people looking at me and went over to Carlos, pushing him into the pool with a shove from behind.
He emerged and shook off like a dog. I cackled and jumped back in, landing right next to him.
Kendall came out from nowhere and jumped in, followed by James, who gave the biggest splash.
We were all laughing and then Logan brought Camille over to us.
"Hi Jade!" she said, climbing in next to me.
"Hey Camille," I greeted, flashing a world-famous Diamond smile.
Logan climbed in next to her, snaking his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder.
"You two are so cute together!" I told them. He kissed her cheek, adding to the cuteness factor.
"How about some volleyball?" Kendall said, getting my attention.
"I'd love to play!" I turned back to Camille and Logan. "Do you wanna play three on three?"
They nodded and we all got on teams. It was me, Kendall, and Carlos against Logan, James, and Camille.
...
We ended up beating them 5 to 3, and it was a super fun game. Carlos, Kendall and I did a group victory hug and I felt like I was walking on air. Kendall is the cutest boy in the world when he's happy. Oh yeah, winning is always fun too...
I climbed out of the pool, as did Kendall. We sat in our chairs next to each other, and he made small talk.
"That was a fun game, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, I haven't had that much fun in years!" I smiled like a kid on Christmas.
"Can I buy you a smoothie?" he asked. "You know, for a celebration prize,"
"You don't have to," I told him.
"I want to," he assured. "I'll be right back!" he said, getting up from his chair.
I kicked back in my seat and seconds later, there was a shadow blocking the sun- a person.
"Are you new around here?" said a male voice. I looked up and saw a boy in a blue polo, the same color as his eyes with brown gelled-up hair.
"Yeah, I'm visiting my friends," I told him. He was quite cute if I do say so myself.
"How rude of me, I never introduced myself!" he chuckled lightly. "I'm Jett, Jett Stenson,"
That's why he looked familiar!
"Oh my gosh! You're from New Town High! I've watched every season," I said excitedly. I held my hand out to shake his. "I'm Jade,"
He surprisingly took my hand and kissed it. "Gorgeous name for a gorgeous girl," he said, and then I noticed his awesome smile. He really had charm...
"What are you doing at the Palm Woods?" I asked him, getting more comfortable.
"I just decided to pop by, I got bored and know a few people here,"
"Oh," I said.
"Do you want to go on a date tonight?" he suddenly asked.
I felt like I was going to faint. It's not everyday that a hot actor on a hit TV show asks you out...
"S-Sure," I said, struggling for my answer. I felt truly starstruck.
He grabbed his iPhone out of his pocket and handed it to me. "Put your number in, and I'll text you the details," he winked.
I giggled and tapped in my number. I gave him a small smile and handed his phone back to him.
"I'm excited for tonight," I said.
"Me too," he nodded.
"I didn't know what flavor you wanted, so I got str-" Kendall said coming over to where I was with Jett. "Hi Jett," he spat.
Oh shit...I forgot about whatever I have with Kendall.
"Hi Kendall," Jett acknowledged him. "I better get going...," he trailed off. He leaned down and kissed me on the cheek, his lips staying there for a few seconds. "I'll see you tonight," he said in a hushed tone. I blushed and bit my lip. Jett walked away and Kendall looked very, very angry.
"Why were you talking to Jett?" he asked. I instantly felt guilty, but I shouldn't because Kendall and I can't be and aren't together.
"He just stopped by and we talked for a few minutes," I said nonchalantly.
"Why is he going to see you tonight?" he said pursing his lips together.
I sighed. "We're going on a date tonight,"
His hand that had a smoothie in it crushed the styrofoam cup, leaking the fruit smoothie all over his wrist and the pool chair.
"What's wrong?" I asked, getting confused. I knew that Kendall liked me and all, but he knew that I couldn't do anything with him. It was just a date tonight!
"Nothing, everything is fan-fucking-tastic," he mumbled, getting up and gathering all of his stuff. "I'm going back to the apartment," he grumbled.
I went over to where everyone else was sitting together and they stopped talking and looked at me.
"What's wrong with you?" James asked, noticing how confused my face looked. I motioned to Kendall, who was storming into the lobby with his arm covered in smoothie.
"Why is Kendall mad?" Logan asked.
I shrugged. "I have no idea,"
"Did you get into a fight?" Camille asked.
"No, he just came back after getting me a smoothie and said that he was going back up to 2J,"
"That's weird," Carlos said.
"Tell me about it," I mumbled, running my fingers through my wet hair.
They went back to their conversation from before I came over and my phone buzzed.
'1 message from unknown number'
I clicked view, knowing who it was.
Meet me in the lobby at 7:00. Wear something dressy. :)
I smiled a half smile and wrote back.
Okay, can't wait. :)
I was excited, but I needed to find out what was wrong with Kendall soon...
...
Ooh! Jett is in this now, and he's the cheater that broke up Jo and Kendall. Too bad Jade doesn't know!
Drama...
Review! :D
