Ch8: Family time.

Katie sighed as she rolled over and was now hanging upside down on the couch. She groaned.

"What are you doing?" Kendall asked tilting his head a little.

"Being bored. When are we going back to LA?"

Kendall rolled his eyes. "If your so bored then why don't you call Jasmine and go hang out with her? If I remember correctly you were bored in LA to when Jasmine left.

Katie sighed as she quickly dialed he phone handing it to Kendall. "Listen to this." She told him.

Kendall put the phone to his ear and listened carefully.

"You have reached the Diamond household we're sorry but were not at home right now." James voice said.

"Yeah but we do wanna say happy holidays! So merry Christmas if your Christian." Jasmine's voice chirped.

"Yeah and a happy Kwanzaa to all you African Americans out there. Oh and of course happy Hanukah." James's voice answered.

"Yeah and if your a atheist uh..." Jasmine's voice trailed of and you could hear some chuckles on the other end of the phone.

"Happy holidays!" James and Jasmine chorused right before the beep.

Kendall chuckled putting the phone down. "That's some voicemail."

Katie nodded laughing a bit.

"Have you tried calling Lola or Carmen?" Kendall asked.

Katie nodded. "Carmen has family over and Lola is on another date with Cameron." Katie told her older brother. She then realized something. "The guys busy to?"

Kendall nodded. "Well as you heard James isn't home probably visiting family , Carlos is at Carmen's house with family and Logan and went Christmas shopping with his parents."

Katie rolled over and slowly sat up straight on the couch making room for Kendall. "So we're both gonna sit here and be bored?"

"No need to." Mrs. Knight said walking in holding a bowl of popcorn in one hand and a stack of dvds in the other. "Were gonna have old fashioned family movie night."

BTR-BTR-BTR-BTR.

The first thing Katie noticed walking in her room later that night was ringing. She grinned as she flipped it open. "Katie here speak now or I'll hang up."

"Hey Katie." Jasmine replied cheerfully.

"Hey Jazz." Katie said as she flopped down on her bed. "How was meeting the new family members?"

"Oh well I guess it went okay. I'm glad granma Miller arrived first cause I have seen her a couple of times. Then grandpa and grandma Diamond came and I didn't attack grandma so I think it went well."

"Why would you attack your grandma?" Katie blinked.

"She's a real cheek squeezer and you know how much I love people who pinch my cheeks." Jasmine giggled. " But James got his share of the squeezing to. Then some aunts and uncles came and I met lots of cousins and they liked me I guess... I got to help a lot though tomorrow at Christmas slash Hanukah."

Katie smiled shrugging. "Oh well that's part of the holidays. How's Hiro?" Katie chuckled hearing a lovesick sigh on the other end of the line.

"Hiro's really cool! I'm glad I met him cause there aren't much tall boys at school and I look like a giant next some boys. Either I shrink or the boys get a growth spurt."

Katie giggled. "James is tall and he has no problem getting dates." She stated knowing her friend was rolling her eyes.

"It's sexy when boys are tall.. Well not skinny I can see your ribs tall or I to tall to walk up straight but tall and muscular is defiantly hot." Jasmine explained. "Now when a girl is taller then the boy she's asking out the boy gets intimidated."

"Even though you got 'the cutest pretty face' and 'the hair'?" Katie asked.

"Yes some boys are just way to picky when it comes to length."

Katie frowned hearing commotion on the other side of the line.

Jasmine sighed. "I have to go Katie annoying younger nephew who's name I can't remember is being a pain." Jasmine muttered. "Bye." Jasmine called putting the phone down.

Katie laughed as she still could hear Jasmine muttering something to her nephew. "You know when I was still the cute younger niece a wasn't such a brat you little..."

Katie laughed shutting her phone of.

Author: Well here's the next chapter with more Katie seeing I have been ignoring her lately. Oh and if you were wondering Jasmine started of as James younger niece and later found out she was actually his younger sister in my story 'Family and friends'.
