Nothing's New ~ R•K

Strike first!

Lucky, Sam, Moon and Yasmine were at a Sams party, sitting on the edge of the pool dipping their feet in the water.

Lucky was wearing a black bikini. The top a classic triangle shape with adjustable straps, the bottoms also black, with tied bows on each hip.

"Ok, you were totally right. This is so much fun." The three girls turned to look at Sam as she spoke.
"Told you. Always better to be the one throwing the party," Yasmine responded. Continuing on to say "and Kyler's been eye-banging you all day." She gave a knowing smile.

They all looked over to Kyler to see him peering back, smiling at Sam as she laughed and looked down.

A few minutes later, Moon got out her phone camera getting up and asking Rory to do their flip again.
"I wanna get it for my channel."
As she started recording Rory jumped from a mini trampoline into the pool doing a cool flip.
"Whoo!"
Everyone cheered and clapped.
"Yes, Rory!"
"Nice."
Just then they heard a voice call out, " Hey! Hey! Hey! What the hell is going on here?" Daniel questioned as Moon turned the camera and herself to look at him. "Oh shit."

Sam got up as he turned the music off. "All right, everybody get out of here right now." He told everyone as he pointed the gate.
"So sorry, Dad. I had no idea you'd be home so early." Sam quickly made her way over to Daniel.
"It doesn't make a difference what time I get home, Sam. You think we want a bunch of strangers in the backyard making a mess?" He argued.
"They're not strangers, they're friends."
"Yeah, some friends." Daniel scoffed, Lucky, Moon and Yasmine looked at eachother, deciding to quickly leave. Waving bye to Sam as they left the house.
"Is he wearing my bathing suit?" He couldn't believe it, begining to point around, "Wait. Are all of you guys wearing my bathing suits?" Everyone who hadn't left yet just stood awkwardly not knowing what to do. "All right, listen, party's over. Let's go." Sam looked around, slightly embarrassed and annoyed at her Dad. "Take the suits off and leave." Some boy started to take off the bathing suit. "No, not out here, genuis" Daniel sarcastically remarked, " In the pool house." He pointed to the pool house as he rolled his eyes.

"Daniel.." Amanda, his wife softly spoke. "Can i talk to you inside?" Sam looked away, anywhere that her Dad wasn't.
"Yeah, did..." He began as Amanda pulled him away.
Sam crossed her arms and sighed. Inside their house Daniel stated to Amanda, "No, I'm not acting irrationally." Amanda had her hand on her hip as she lent on the side. "I'm acting like a responsible parent who cares about his kid." He walked past Amanda, causing her to turn his way as she retaliated. "Ok, we both care about our kid. I just don't think embarrassing Sam in front of her friends is helping matters."
"I don't like these new friends." Daniel sighed, looking out the window then back at his wife as he carried on. "It's not like Samantha. Why can't she be at robot camp with Aisha?"
"Cause she doesn't wanna be a nerd." She calmly spoke, laughing slightly. "Look, i remember what it was like being part of a clique other kids made fun of. Believe me, girls can be really cruel."

Daniel shook his head, "Listen, I know a thing or two about cruel, okay?" He nodded. "I... I was pushed off a cliff on my bike."
"There's nothing wrong with Sam wanting to be popular."
Daniel spluttered his words out at this, "Popular is fine... I just don't want her turning into one of these privileged Encino brats." He inhaled.
"Neither do i, but keep throwing her friends out of the house, see where that gets your relationship with your daughter."
After that was said, they heard a flush and someone walking toward them. "Whoo!" Brucks sighed. "Skinny dips and bong rips." He shook his head like a wet dog. " Whoah!" He clapped hid hands once. "Oh, you're that bonsai guy on those commercials!" He sniffled wetly, "Wait, where'd everybody go?" He asked as he looked into the garden.
