The Shadows And The Blonde: A Taphie Fan-Fiction

-15-Keefe

A/N I know I literally just wrote my life update 4 minutes ago, but I promised and I don't want to forget. This chapter takes place during Tam and Sophie's "cuddle time"

"Guys! Guys!" Keefe panted, running as fast as he could towards the group of untroubled elves. Biana raised her eyebrows in curiosity. "What is it, Keefe? Spill." Keefe took a second to catch his breathe, though it was mostly to tease Ms. Teal eyes. He knew how eager she was to know anything gossip related, and she might just get what she wants. Well, not really, because it's the opposite of what Ms. Teal eyes wants. "I think Bangs Boy and Foster are dating," Keefe blurted before his mental well being could stop him. The room filled became with pin drop silence, almost like the time he pranked Dame Alina when she was talking about a talent show by dropping masterdon poop filled balloons on her head.

Ritzy Crackers spoke up first, rage dripping through every word. "And why do you think so?" Keefe internally smirked, and pretended to catch his breathe, drink a sip of youth, and take a bite of mallowmelt before he continued. "Well, Bangs Boy was pinning Foster down against the wall, and then....and then......" Keefe suddenly found himself at a loss of words, like he couldn't bring himself to continue. That if he said it out loud, it would become reality. A reality that he simply couldn't bear. A reality that he didn't want to acknowledge . Someone cleared their throat. Keefe was unsure if it was Dizznee or Ms. Teal eyes, but he could tell that the whole group was waiting for him to continue. Even without touching anyone, Keefe felt the tension in the air. Anger, shock, betrayal, jealousy, all the hidden emotions hanging there on thin ice. He was afraid. He was afraid of what could possibly happen if he dares to break the ice, pummeling into a deep dark reality where everything was shattered. His heart, the friend group, everything.

"I-uh, nevermind...." Keefe stuttered, deciding it's the only way to avoid more drama than there already is in their little group. "So, anyone down for uh, Base Quest?" 

Ritzy Crackers rummaged a hand between his chocolate-y brown hair, before snapping at Keefe. "No, don't you even dare try to change the subject. We all know you saw something. We all know it has to do with Soph and Tam. So don't even pretend, because I'm pretty sure everyone else here is dying to know," Ritz Crackers glanced-well more like glared- at everyone in the humongous Everglen living room. One by one, they nodded. Keefe felt the dread build up in him, towering over him like Mommy Dearest did back then. He looked pleadingly at everyone, begging them silently not to let curiosity get the best of them. Well, guess what? No luck. Oh, how he wished Mrs. Stinkbottom was here to provide moral support. Just as he was about to give in and spill everything-despite the risk- he felt to figures approach them. A boy and a girl. Tam and Sophie.

So I tried to copy Shannon's style of writing in Keefe's POV, and uh, tell me if it worked. If it wasn't obvious enough, Ms. Teal eyes is Biana, Ritzy Crackers is Fitz, and Dizznee is Dex.

Thx for reading! Buh bye for now!
