I've decided Fan fiction is evil. When you upload some words don't make it through and get deleted. There's no other explanation… maybe I'm crazy…
Oh and ya'll should check out my website/blog (though I warn you, the blog is where I let the potty mouth run free) The link is/will be in my profile : )
"Told you." Kiki said the next morning as she brushed her teeth.
"Yeah I know." Larissa rolled her eyes.
"Your parents had no idea." She smiled, spitting her mouthful of toothpaste into the sink.
"We almost got caught. What were you and Jimmie doing out there anyway?" Larissa asked, trying to look as innocent as possible. Kiki looked down at her.
"Playing basketball, duh… ugh I never used that word before I met you."
"Glad I'm such a good influence."
"Good?"
"I'm turning you normal." Larissa insisted. Kiki shook her head.
"I'd rather you didn't." Larissa smiled, hip bumping the other girl. "I gotta go. Ryan's due back any minute."
"See you later Keiko."
"Don't call me Keiko." Kiki ordered as she ran upstairs for her bag then down to her car. She hopped in and hurried back home, barely paying attention to the rules of the road as she went. When she got home she hurried to the kitchen where her mother and Sharpay were watching the cook work.
"Kiki! You're not ready?" Catherine asked. Kiki looked down. Clean jeans, sure they had holes in them, but all her jeans had those, a wildcat tee shirt.
"Yeah I am." She nodded. Catherine gave Sharpay a frustrated look.
"Come on Keeks." Sharpay took her sister by the shoulders and led her upstairs. She forced her sister to change into a simple, summery red dress with spaghetti straps. They left her hair down and she managed to talk Sharpay into a pair of Converse.
The sister ran back down the stairs in time to hear the door open and Ryan's voice call out,
"Anyone home?" They ran though the halls to the door and launched themselves at him.
"Ryan!" They squealed, for the first time acting somewhat alike. Ryan grinned and hugged his sister back, for a while.
"Guys… I… can't… breathe…" He said, coughing. They let him go and moved just as Catherine came rushing through the hall to her only son.
"Oh Ducky, daddy says he's sorry, but he's going to be a little late. Had some last minute work to take care of at the office."
"It's fine mom, gives me some time to catch up with you three." Ryan and their dad had the same relationship as Kiki and Catherine. They love each other; they just really didn't know how to act with each other. Ryan wasn't the sport-obsessed jock their dad had been expecting, but he loved his son anyway.
"So, let's hear about how fantastic school is Shar." Ryan led the three into the family room to talk about everything. Kiki sat on a crème colored chair and drew her knees to her chest, watching her brother, sister and mom talk. Sharpay was going on and on about Zeke and her classes and helped Ms. Darbus with the play this year and how fun that was going to be.
"Kiki?" Kiki looked up to find them staring at her.
"Huh?" She asked.
"I ask you how basketball was going." Ryan smiled.
"Oh, pretty good. We've had a few issues with teams not wanting to play a girl but… we took care of that." She showed him the still bright red, nasty floor burn on her leg.
"They did that to you?" Ryan asked, angry.
"No… rocket man did…" Kiki shook her head, looking at the burn thoughtfully. It was a bit brighter now that she thought about it.
"Wait? Rocket Man? As in… Jimmie Zara? Isn't he on your team?"
"Yeah, that's how we got the other team to stop whining about breaking me. Matt and Rocket Man were all to happy to beat the crap out of me to make it happen too." Kiki rolled her eyes. Ryan frowned, but sat back. Kiki yipped as her cell phone vibrated and she grabbed it off the table, smiling.
'Hey, pizza after game wit guys u in.' It was from Jimmie. Kiki gently bit her lip and texted back.
'Yeah. Sounds good.'
'Even on text u got good gramer' Kiki laughed and sat the phone over on the table. She looked up to find her family staring at her again.
"Who was that?" Sharpay asked, smiling.
"Why?" Kiki frowned.
"Because you just giggled." Ryan grinned, leaning forward.
"I did not. Oh, mom After the game I'm going out for pizza with the guys." She smoothed her dress and glared at her siblings. "What?"
"It was Jimmie." They said in unison.
"So what?" She crossed her arms over her chest. They started humming the Kissing in a Tree song. "Shut up." She snapped.
"Or what?" Sharpay asked.
"I'll kill you both." Kiki stuck her tongue out. They went back to humming and she jumped up, chasing the twins through the house while Catherine just laughed, happy to see her kids so happy.
That evening after dinner Kiki went up to her room, laying out on the bed, Paper Towns in front of her. She was just finishing the book when the door opened.
"Hey Keeks." Ryan smiled, walking over and plopping on the bed.
"Hey Ry. What's up?" She asked, closing the book.
"Just wanted to see what you were up to. Did you have fun at the party last night?"
"Eh, it was okay. Got better when the team showed up."
"The team?"
"Yeah…" Kiki explained to him about the call and the masks and playing basketball with Jimmie. Ryan smiled at her. "What?" She asked, once again.
"Nothing Keeks." He shook his head, getting up and kissing her on the head. "Can't wait to see your game though." He added.
"You're going?" Kiki asked, her eyes wide.
"Yeah, I'm going to be here, might as well see the best Basketball player I know kick some butt." He grinned, laughing. Kiki laughed and got up, going to her phone as it vibrated.
"Then my winning basket will be for you." She joked. Ryan laughed again and got up.
"I'm gonna hit the sack, I'm pretty tired. I'll see you in the morning Keeks." He turned and headed out of the room.
"Night Ry."
"Night Keeks."
