Ann stared at
Kira as she lent her hand out to help. "Are you
okay?" she asked, flashing her flawless smile at Ann as
she helped her up. She never took her eyes off her as she
stood up.
"Yo, Ann" Angelo said suspiciously as he waved his
hand in front of Ann's face, snapping h back to reality.
"You gawking at my chick?" he muttered under his
breath quietly, but loud enough so Ann could hear.
Ann turned to Angelo and blushed a deep shade of red.
"What? No, of course not!" she denied.
Kira made a face of pure disgust and placed her hands on her
hips disappointingly. "ANGELO!" she scolded.
"Since when was I YOUR chick? I'm nobody's chick! I'm my
own person!"
Joey quietly hummed the death tune as he tiptoed out of room,
followed promptly by Paddy. Unfortunately, Kira saw right
through their plan. "And where do you think YOU'RE going,
Paddy anf Joey Kelly?" she questioned, raising an eyebrow
suspiciously.
Paddy and Joey quickly made their way back to their spot on
the couch and sat down obediently. Kira continued her
argument, getting madder and madder by the second.
"Angelo, how many times have I told you that, 1) I am not
an object to possess, 2) I am NOT a chick! I am a human being,
not a sex object, or a BIRD! And 3) STOP TALKING IN FREAKIN'
EBONICS!" she shrieked in his face, ignoring the stares
coming from the rest of the people in the room.
Angelo took a small step back in defense, and a smile crept
upon his face. He suddenly burst into a fit of wild laugher at
Kira as she watched in surprise. "How dare you..."
she threatened as she narrowed her eyes.
He took a deep breath to calm his laughter. "How many
times have we been through this?" he said, still smiling.
"I didn't mean that you were a bird or something, I was
just saying that..."
"I DON'T CARE!" Kira screeched, clenching her teeth
in anger. "YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE, DON'T YOU?!"
she screamed. Angelo opened his mouth to argue, but was cut
off by his furious girlfriend. "Angelo, I think this is
enough. We're through. I'm breaking up with you. Again!!"
she concluded, spinning around and holding her head up high.
"Not that we were ever 'dating' in the first place."
She stormed towards the door, and made sure that the door
slammed hard on the way out. Angelo just stood there, jaw
dropped so low it touched the floor. "W... was it
something I said?" he asked innocently.
Ann rolled her eyes and chased after Kira out the door,
without warning. "Kira, wait!" she called after her.
"Oops... you did it again..." Joey mumbled under his
breath as he leaned back on the couch and sighed.
Jessica lowered her head in shame. Why, in all the people who
needed a significant other in the whole world, did it have to
be this Michael Patrick character? Everything was already
messed up, and she wasn't even sure if she knew how to solve
her problem.
"Maybe you should go talk to her... again. I mean, we've
ALL been through this before. This is the 391st time you've
broken up with her, and I'm pretty sure that you can get back
together" Paddy suggested as Angelo flopped back on the
chair nearby and buried his face in his hands.
"She's just throwing a temporary hissy fit. She'll get
over it" Patricia reassured him.
Angelo shook his head sadly, and sighed. "No... I don't
think so. I screwed up bad, didn't I?" he asked.
"Who screwed what?" Jimmy asked as he stepped into
the room, confused.
"Lino got in another fight with Kira" Maite
informed.
Jimmy rolled his eyes in disgust. "Again?"
Angelo nodded. "Ann went after her."
Jimmy's eyes lit up at the sound of the name. "Ann?
Where?" he asked, frantically searching the room.
Joey shot a suspicious look at Jimmy.
"She went outside after Kira. I think I have to go talk
to her and apologize" Angelo said as he got up from the
couch and headed towards the door.
"Ann's there too? Wait for me, bro!" Jimmy said as
he rushed beside him and headed out the door.
Kira stomped her white platforms angrily on the ground as she
stormed away, blind with fury. Questions filled her mind, and
she began to wonder why she ever decided to stay with Angelo
in the first place. He was egotistical, cold, self-centered,
mouthy, cocky, annoying, arrogant... ...and at other times,
caring, sweet, charming, funny, and not to mention drop-dead
gorgeous.
"Kira" a voice interrupted her thoughts. She spun
around to meet Ann, jogging to catch up to the furious girl.
"What" she asked, annoyed.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
She hesitated when she realized that she didn't really have
anywhere to go. "Away from Angelo" she replied
coldly, crossing her arms.
"Wanna talk about it?" Ann asked, smiling slightly.
Kira couldn't help but smile back at her. There was just
something about her charming innocence that was irresistible.
"Ok..." she agreed. "But can I start?"
She nodded.
"Angelo is so awful sometimes! His eyes always wander
around to other girls, and he makes me wonder how many times
he's cheated on me. Sometimes, I wonder if its really worth
being around him... but sometimes, he treats me like a
princess. He's so fun to be around, but other times, he's just
a... an egotistical moron! I mean, he thinks that his hair is
more important than ME! I swear, if he made a list of his life
in order of importance, it would be himself, his hair, his
image, his family, music, THEN me. UGH, it just makes me mad!
We've broken up so many times because I feel like he doesn't
care about me enough, but then he shows up at my door on his
knees, begging for forgiveness. We make-up, and then he goes
on this flirt-fest as if nothing happened at all!" Kira
rambled on, waving her hands in the air furiously.
Ann stared at her blankly. "So basically, he's just a
jerk" she summarized.
She rolled her eyes, and flopped down on the curb of the
sidewalk. Sighing deeply, she nodded. She ran a hand through
her dirty dark blonde hair, and studied her shoes with great
interest. "I don't understand him."
"Maybe you're too good for him" Ann suggested,
taking a seat beside her on the curb.
Kira raised her eyebrow in interest and stared at Ann as if
she was insane. "You're fronting" she said plainly,
unaware of the ironic usage of ebonics she picked up from the
amount of time spent with Angelo.
Ann shook his head solemnly, and smiled.
For a while, she just sat there and gazed at Ann. She never
realized how the sunlight gleamed in her emerald eyes, how she
grinned mischievously whenever she had something on her mind,
and how she subconsciously raised her eyebrow whenever she was
thinking...
That was when Ann leaned forward to kiss her.
Kira was slightly surprised at this sudden action, but relaxed
when she felt her lips against hers. It wasn't a messy
soap-opera kiss with lots of tongue- it was much rather a
sweet, soft kiss. Kira felt sparks fly as she closed her eyes,
leaned closer to Ann and raised her hand next to Ann's face.
She gently ran her hand to the back of her neck, and pulled
her closer towards herself.
She was the one to break the kiss. Ann pulled away shortly
after, and grinned at her. A part of her felt extremely guilty
for kissing Kira, but the other part secretly enjoyed it. Kira
leaned towards her for another one, but she hesitated.
Suddenly, feeling the presence of someone else, both Ann and
Kira turned around to see Angelo and Jimmy. They stood some
distance away, jaws wide open and surprised.
They saw everything.
"You... slut!" Angelo screamed at her as he spun
around and stormed away. Jimmy hesitated for a moment, and
took a deep breath. He didn't know what to do. Expressionless,
he just turned around and walked away.
Kira turned back to Ann, and winced. "What just...
happened?" she asked, a worried expression on her face.
Ann sighed, and immediately regretted the kiss.
Jessica finished hyperventilating and calmed herself down. She
had almost completely forgot about her mission. She was so
caught up with the little soap opera between Kira and Angelo
that her original assignment slipped out of her mind. She
glanced at Paddy, sitting on the couch, motionless.
This was her chance. Paddy was FAR away from anyone. There was
no way she would hit anyone else with her arrow. There was no
way she could screw this up, even if she tried.
Joey came in.
"Ten Marks says Kira gets back with Angelo" Joey
said again.
Paddy shook his head. "Nuh-uh. I say she goes for
Ann."
He let out a laugh. "Ann? Have you been smoking oregano
again?"
Jessica quickly grabbed an arrow out of her backpack and aimed
her crossbow at Paddy perfectly. "Steady hand, deep
breath..." she reminded herself as she loaded the weapon
and placed her finger on the trigger.
"Cuz, Ann had ALWAYS had the hot for her. I mean, she's
always talking about her, and she's always talking about her.
They're always together" Paddy pointed out
as-a-matter-of-factly.
Jessica felt something tingling in her nose. She twitched
slightly as she took aim at Paddy. "Calm...
tranquil.." she said to herself, but her twitching nose
bothered her. She took a deep breath, but suddenly sneezed
hard, throwing her aim totally off. Accidentally pulling the
trigger, the arrow flew across the room and straight towards
Joey.
Joey jumped in shock as he felt a surge of energy through his
right shoulder, and his arm suddenly lost all feeling. "Aaahh!"
he screamed as he accidentally dropped the mirror to the floor
in reflex.
"NOOOOO!" Jessica screamed again as she grabbed her
chestnut-hued hair and tugged hard. "WHAT DID I
DO?!"
Joey bent over to pick up the dropped mirror, and grinned at
his reflection.
Joey stared at the stranger in front of him, as he held the
mirror closer to his face. He licked his hand and smoothed out
his hair, not taking his eyes off of the stranger in his
mirror. He turned his head left and right, admiring every bit
of his face. Paddy looked at him in confusion and spoke up.
"Joey? What's up wit you? Afraid of your own
reflection?" Paddy laughed at his own joke.
"You immature piece of crap. I'm looking at..." Joey
started but was interrupted with the entrance of Jimmy and
Angelo.
"Hey, what happen outside? Didn't catch Kira?" Paddy
asked with a Ding-Dong in his mouth.
Angelo glared at him and huffily, then stormed up to his room.
"What's whit him?" Paddy asked Jimmy, who was
following Angelo.
Jimmy pouted and sat his fine self down on the couch. He
folded his arms in front of his chest and breathed heavily.
"Damn, can't anyone tell me what's up?" Paddy asked.
The door flung open again and in came Ann and Kira. Jimmy saw
Ann and Kira together in the corner of his eyes and pouted his
lips even more.
"Hey! You guys are back! Here... I'll get Angelo!"
Paddy exclaimed and didn't wait for her reply and flew
upstairs to retrieve him.
When Kira and Ann were left alone again, excluding Jimmy
pouting and Joey admiring his fine bad self, Kira whispered.
"What should I do? I'm so confused." "Be with
me, and everything will be fine." Ann smoothly wrapped
Kira's arms around her.
"Ann... I can't do this. It's not right." Kira
attempted to get away but Ann held her tightly.
"Why isn't it right? You said that you didn't like the
way Angelo has always been treating you. What's the problem?
Be with me... you already told him it was over anyways."
Ann muttered.
"No... but it's not like that. It's always been this way,
me and Angelo, Angelo and me. We always break-up and make-up.
It's just been a thing we do. It was never going to be over,
it was just a minor argument." Kira explained, pulling
herself away from Ann "Besides, I'm not a lesbian... I
think" Kira added. "Oh" Ann sounded
disappointed and backed up.
Kira noticed Ann's face expression fell. She quickly yelped
and pulled Ann's face towards hers. "No no... you're a
great girl Ann, you really are. You're always there for me,
helping me and everything. No one can replace you. It was just
that, you came out to talk to me and I felt so free... in your
arms... I've never felt that way. And when we kissed..."
She smiled and slightly tilted her head as Ann's lips awaited.
She smiled and lowered her head, as her lips were about to
meet Ann's...
"BITCH!" Angelo's call broke them two apart.
"Angelo... it wasn't her fault, it was mine..." Ann
began.
"Look, I don't want to hear it from you yet, I'll settle
with you later" Angelo gestured for him to move aside.
Then he continued. "How can you do this to me? And with
one of my best friends? And with a girl???"
"Angelo... baby, listen..." Kira stuttered as her
face turned beet red.
"Don't 'Angelo baby' me, you skank! We're over,
through... get it? I don't ever want anything to do with you
again!" Angelo angrily threw his fist on to the kitchen
counter.
"No, An... please listen... " Kira's eyes welded up
with tears.
"No, you listen to me... I don't want anything to do with
you again! Get out of my life!" He pointed at the door as
he heaved about breaths.
"Whoa... this is getting ugly. Just calm down you all...Kira,
go down to the den and do some thinking.." After Paddy
said that, he laughed at the thought of her thinking... does
that function in her brain? He thought and continued.
"Angelo...stay in the kitchen and Ann, go to your
room."
Everyone looked at him funny, as if they didn't understand.
"NOW!" Paddy demanded.
Everyone went their ways and calmed down. Angelo sat on the
kitchen counter, rearranging the fruits in the basket. Jimmy
watched as Ann walked herself to her room and Kira leaving for
the den. Before both of them left, they looked at each other
and snuck a smile. Jimmy saw it all.
ARG... she's gonna get a piece of my mind! Jimmy thought to
himself as he cracked his knuckles.
"Hey... Joey... help me out!" Paddy nudged Joey, who
was sitting down crossed-legged with the mirror still in his
hand.
"Hey... who's that?" Joey asked, pointing at his
reflection.
"What?" Paddy didn't hear right.
Joey stared at himself in the mirror some more and looked
behind him. Nobody was behind him and he glared at himself in
the mirror again. Then he clasped his hands on his cheek and
yelled.
"OH GOSH, LOOK AT THAT!" Joey exclaimed.
"What? What? WHAT?" Paddy frantically spun around.
"I'm a sexy bitch!" Joey announced, checking himself
out in the mirror some more.
Everyone's acting weird... not him too! Paddy thought to
himself and sighed. He took the mirror away from Joey and
threw himself on the couch next to Jimmy.
"What do you think I should do with those three?"
Paddy asked, hugging a pillow.
"Um... I really gotta do something right now... like...
now." Jimmy got up and headed for the den.
He quietly stepped down the stairs into the den, unnoticed.
When he reached it, he saw Kira, sitting cross-legged on the
green leather couch. She had her head buried in her hands.
When Jimmy stumbled upon the last few steps, Kira looked up.
"Hi Jimmy." Kira smiled, wiping away the runs of her
mascara.
"Hi Kira." He muttered sternly.
"What do you think I should do? About this whole
thing?" Kira got up to approach him.
"I don't know." Jimmy forced a friendly smile.
"I'm so confused. I mean, Angelo, he's perfect. He's got
the looks, the personality and he's so sweet. But Ann... she's
everything I want in a... guy. She's understanding, she's
fun... she's great. And the way she kisses...now, that's
extra!" She giggled.
Jimmy tightened his fist and cornered Kira to a wall. He
approached her by wrapped his hands tightly around her throat
and suddenly swinging her head back and forth, back and forth,
strangling her. Her head looked rubber as Jimmy took his
revenge.
"JJ... Jimmy... What.... You ......... Doin...." She
choked out.
"You just leave my Ann alone! You evil woman!" He
kept strangling the poor girl.
Just then, Angelo walks into the den and saw Jimmy's actions.
He frantically ran towards them and pulled them apart.
"What are you doing man? That's not way to treat
her!" Angelo exclaimed as Kira caught her breath.
"Thanks... Aaangelo..." Kira choked out, gasping for
air.
"This is the way to treat her." Angelo grabbed her
by her shoulders and started shaking her back and forth, back
and forth. Her head, again, looked like rubber.
"See, Jimmy? At least she can breathe!" Angelo kept
rocking her back and forth swiftly. The he turned to Kira and
continued. "Why did you have to do this to me? You
horrible horrible being! You're such a slut..." Angelo
exclaimed but was interrupted.
"PEOPLE! YOU PEOPLE! QUIET! SILENCE!" Joey
announced.
Everyone froze in their steps, turning to Joey.
"I have a question... do you think I'm sexy?" Joey
asked, cocking his eyebrows.
"Huh?" Everyone looked confused.
"That's what I thought! Now, carry on!" Joey went
back upstairs.
Angelo grabbed her shoulders again and shook her. Ann stumbled
downstairs to find everyone torturing Kira. Her jaw dropped.
"STOP! What are you guys doing?" Ann approached
Angelo and broke Kira away from him. Then she whispered
"Are you okay?"
"Look Ann, this has nothing to do with you... move along
and go scoop out. Get lost." Angelo pushed him aside.
"Make me." Ann fought back, standing in front of
Kira.
"Ooh... who taught you to talk back? Big Bird?"
Angelo pushed her back.
"No... but I'm sure he gave you some styling tips."
Ann forced her strength and pushed him back.
"Why you little...! " Angelo picked up his hand
ready to slap her, suddenly Paddy yelled like the living dead
and rushed between them.
"HEY! You all suppose to be in your areas! What happened
here?" Paddy held both Ann and Angelo back.
"Paddy... step aside as I pound her ugly ass."
Angelo cracked his knuckles.
"BRING IT ON!" Ann yelled.
"OKAY STOP! KIRA... JUST PICK ONE OF THEM AND LEAVE! YOU
BRING TOO MUCH TROUBLE!" Paddy huffed.
"I... I... I can't." Kira stuttered.
"What?" Ann and Angelo turned to her and asked.
"I don't know which one to pick! Give me a day... I have
to ask my mommy. Gotta go." Kira ran upstairs and out the
door.
"Kira... wait!" Ann hollered.
They all returned upstairs and Angelo rushed up to his room,
he wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. Ann, took care of
some business, and Jimmy? He was praying that Kira would pick
Angelo. Certainly, the fans wouldn't like it... but he'd get
himself Ann, eh? He smiled deviously at the thought of him and
Ann together.
Joey forgot about his "I'm too sexy" moments and
barged into the bathroom. There, he splattered some gel on his
palm and rubbed it on his head. He saw his reflection again.
He looked around to see if anyone else was around. He checked
himself out again and muttered.
"DAMN... I'm fine!"
"What's fine?" Paddy booed his head into the
bathroom.
"ME.... I'm DED-SEX-EH!" He proudly declared.
"What?" Paddy looked at him funny.
"AND YOU! YOU... ARE CRAP! I'M DED-SEX-EH AND YOU A
CRAP!" Joey patted Paddy's head and fled to his room, to
admire himself some more.
What have I done? What have I done? I made the one with the
black spiky hair to fall in love with himself! David's going
to kill me! Not that this is a problem or anything, I am dead.
OH KNOW! He's going to make me... alive! Jessica shook her
mental image out of her head.
I have to act quick! What's the first think I should do? Maybe
if I got the Michael Patrick Kelly dude right away, all the
other bad arrows would reverse! She could see Joey admiring
himself even more on a toaster as he went downstairs to
rummage for more mirrors. She took a deep breath. I gotta act
now! She pulled out another arrow and took out her bow. She
aimed at Paddy. She squinted her right eye for aim and
accuracy. This is it... my big chance! She sprung away the
arrow and it was smooth sailing for Paddy's head.
