Woohoo! I finally got around to writing a chapter! Yay! Okay, so the Sokeefe will begin to move faster from here.

I will try to update soon.

CHAPTER 10

"Breakfast time!" Called Della from the kitchen.

I separated myself from Keefe and stood up.

"Awww, Foster, you would choose food over me?" he asked with a pout.

"Yes." I deadpanned.

He sighed.

"Fine. I see how it is." he joked.

I helped him up, and we walked to the kitchen.

"Good morning, kids! I made breakfast. Its porrage, and its happy to see you!" Della exclaimed, setting down to bowls. They had porrage with eggs and bacon making a happy face shape. (a/n Mulan reference. I love that movie and I can basically quote the whole thing. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah...)

Fitz and Biana were still out cold, so Keefe and I ate breakfast just the two of us.

"Thith ith goob!" Keefe said with his mouth full.

I cringed.

"Eww, Keefe that's gross." I said, wrinkling my nose.

He swallowed and smirked at me.

"Squeamish, Foster?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes.

"No, I just-"

I never got to finish my sentence, because at that moment my phone rang. It was Grady.

"Hello?" I said.

"Good morning, Sophie! I have good news for you." Grady said cheerfully.

I perked up.

"What?" I asked.

"Silveny's wing is healed enough to set her free!" he said.

"Oh my gosh! Really!?" I yelled.

Keefe looked at me questioningly.

Grady laughed.

"Yep. I gave her a check up this morning, and she's good to go! I figured you would want to be here for her release though, so..." he trailed off.

"Oh! I'll be right home!" I said.

"Bye, Sophie. I would prefer it if one of your friends walked you home though, for safety purposes." Grady said.

"Bye Grady. I'll take a friend, don't worry."

I hung up.

Keefe raised an eyebrow.

"So... You gonna tell me what that yelling was about?" he asked.

"Yep. First let me go change, then I'll tell you. You can actually come with me... If you want..." I said.

"Sure thing, Foster." he said.

I went back into the living room and packed up my stuff. I was heading to the bathroom to change, when Biana woke up.

"Sophie! Are you leaving?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah, Grady, wants me home, so I have to go. Keefe's leaving too." I replied.

"Awww, I ship you guys!" Biana sqealed.

I flushed deep red.

"I-I...no...it's not...like that." I stuttered like an idiot.

Biana smirked.

"Please don't tell me you're wearing that." she said, glancing down at my pajamas.

I blushed.

"Well obviously not. I was on my way to change clothes, when someone interrupted." I replied.

"What were you gonna wear." she asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Um... This." I said, pulling out a gray top and a pair of jeans.

Biana gasped in horror.

"You know what... I think I have a red top that would go perfectly with your eyes. Its too small for me, but you'll fit." she said.

Then she dashed upstairs.

"Hey, Foster. What's the holdup?" Keefe asked, coming into the room.

"Biana has deemed my clothes 'unfit.' She's getting me a new shirt." I said.

Keefe laughed.

"We're going to be here forever!" he groaned.

Biana came into the room with a shirt in her hands.

"Sophie! Come with me." she said, dragging me to her room.

She gave me the shirt, and I grabbed my jeans. I walked into the bathroom and put the shirt on. It was a flowy red blouse. (a/n- that's all the detail I've got. I am not a clothing guru.)

"Eeeeeeee! You look so pretty!"Biana squealed when I came out.

I still had the hairdo Keefe had done last night. Paired with the blouse, I had to admit I looked great.

I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.

Keefe's jaw dropped.

He blushed.

I smirked.

Oh, how the tables have turned.

"Looking good, Foster." he said, recovering his cool just as quickly as he had lost it.

"We should hurry. Grady's probably freaking out." I said, grabbing my bag.

We said goodbye to Della, and Biana offered to walk with us.

Poor Fitz was going to wake up alone. (a/n- I try to keep the Fitz bashing at a minimum... But this opportunity just presented itself.)

We set off down the street, laughing and joking. It was really great to have friends, even if I would have preferred to be alone with Keefe.

Yeah, yeah- I admit it. I may have a small crush on him. Small.

We turned onto my street, and I saw Tam sitting with Linh out in front of their house.

Keefe stiffened beside me.

Biana fixed her hair.

Tam glanced up.

"Oh, hey Sophie. You look nice." he said.

I blushed.

Keefe scowled.

"Thanks, Tam." I replied.

"Sophie! It's so good to see you!" Linh said, running to hug me.

"Good to see you too! I'm releasing Silveny today. Do you want to come?" I asked.

Linh squealed in response. Tam shrugged. I took that to mean yes.

"OK, come on." I said leading them into the house.

"Sophie!" Cried Edaline and Grady, running to squish me in a hug.

"Air..." I gasped.

"We missed you!" Said Edaline.

"I was only gone for one night." I said.

"I know... Still." Edaline smiled.

"Who's this?" Grady said, eyeing Keefe.

"Oh. Grady, this is Keefe. Keefe, this is Grady." I said.

Keefe smirked.

Grady narrowed his eyes.

"Anyways... Silveny." I said.

"Oh yeah! Go get her. She's in your room." Grady said.

I ran upstairs, grabbed the cage, then carefully carried her downstairs.

"Oooh, is this Silveny?" Asked Keefe.

Silveny cooed.

"She likes me!" he exclaimed, grinning.

"Sure." I said. It was true though. Silveny obviously liked him.

"I'm sure going to miss you." I said to Silveny.

We went outside and set her free. She flew a few feet before settling on a branch and singing.

Then she flew away. My eyes watered.

Keefe put his arm around me, and I leaned into him.

Grady glared.

"Well, I should get going." Said Biana.

"Here, I'll walk you home." Tam offered. Awww.

"I should go too. We have midterms tomorrow." Said Keefe.

I groaned.

Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

...

Oooh midterms. If that doesn't fit with the original timeline of the story, then... Eh screw it.

Idek.

Sokeefe kiss will happen soon.

Should I add Keefe's parents?
