17 year old Skai Foster grew up in a sheltered home. Not allowed to go out with friends, have a cellphone etc. She is only allowed to talk to the girls at church. She's a bookworm. On a trip to grandma's, she meets a little rebel, Kelly, who sneaks...
"So a party huh?...sure I'll let skai know, yeah of course, no she's fineee, she was at a friends house, should be home soon, k I'll let her call you, ok hun love you, ok and tell Ron' happy birthday...ok bye"
For the first time in two minutes Skai inhaled then blew a sigh of relief.
"Skai...honey is that you?" Her nana asked she fumbled on the wall to find the switch "where's that switch!" She exclaimed.
"Yes nana it's me, don't bother to turn on the light" she began "sorry I'm home so late, I hope I didn't keep you up, Kelly and I were just chatting, you know how it goes when you're having fun!"
Skai knew better than to allow her nana to see her outfit.
Her nana laughed "it's fine dear, I just spoke to your mom, she's gonna throw a surprise birthday party for your dad, I told her I'd let you call once you got here but you must be tired"
She faked a yawn "oh yes! Extremely tired" "ok well you go get some rest and you can call her in the morning" "ok nana" Skai responded. "Oh and Skai..." nana called out
"Yes nana?" "Did you have fun with Kelly?" Nana asked, Skai let out a shaky breath "tons!"
"Good, I'm glad you're enjoying your stay and that you made a new friend"
"Yeah and she's a good one too, mom would approve!" Skai chimed. Nana laughed "That's great honey, why don't you go get some rest now...and we'll talk when you wake"
"Ok nana, goodnight, or morning"

"Ok mom, I think you should use black forest cake, it's his favourite...yeah you're right there's liquor in it" Skai rolled her eyes, she loved her mother to death but sometimes she questioned how her father had fallen in love with her, and is still married to her.
She would have a panic attack if she ever saw Skai's dad drinking anything alcoholic, and on top of that she'd give him a long lecture about having liquor around the baby (Skai).
A part of me thinks he's hiding something from us, he comes home late, he's always away on business trips, always has an excuse not to come to church with us and when we get home from church he's not in the house like we left him, ok he's hiding something, but what? I really hope my dad isn't a drug dealer, oh Lord forgive me for my thoughts
"Skaiii...Hello, honey are you still there?" Her mom's voice rang through the phone. "Oh y..yeah I'm here mom" Skai responded quickly. "Oh, well you haven't answered my question yet" her mom informed her "what question?" Asked Skai,
"I asked if we should get confetti for when he first walks inside the house" I thought about it..."yeah...yeah that sounds great mom" "ok dear, I'm gonna start my ordering, I'll call you when I'm not too busy, your father sends his love" there was a teenie tiny hint of bitterness in her tone when she mentioned father.
Skai spoke into the phone again "hey...uh ...mom...Where's dad right now?" She asked, her mother sighed then quickly responded "oh you know he's probably at work, honey I really have to go, I love you" and with that she hung up.
Skai sighed and rested the house phone back on the wall. Ok Skai, think of happy things, think of happy things.
She walked upstairs to her room where she saw a bag under her bed, the one she hid Kelly's things in. "I need to return these" she thought, "I cant risk my grandmother finding these" she whispered to herself.
Skai peeked through her curtain out into the backyard, her nana was outside talking to the neighbour with a shovel in her hand. "Perfect time to go" she mumbled.
In one swift move she finger combed her curly hair before pulling it all together in a messy bun. Not like the cute ones on tumblr...a real messy bun.
She picked up the bag and bolted down the stairs and made her way to the front door, she placed the bag there then ran to the back porch and told her grandmother where she was going then in no time she was on her way to Kelly's place.

Skai rung the doorbell to the left side of the large black and chrome french doors. She saw a silhouette through the tinted glass then some shuffling with the locks on the doors then the door swung open to reveal Kelly who also had her blonde hair in a cute messy bun, she wore an oversized black t-shirt, striped pajama shorts and mismatched knee high socks, in her hand she held an apple core.
"Oh hey Skai!" She responded chirpily. She then flashed a smile that didn't quite meet her eyes. Skai decided on ignoring it, "hey" she responded with a dimplefilled smile. "What brings you to my fortress?" She asked opening the door to invite Skai inside
"Uhh...I just came to return your clothes...thanks for letting me borrow them by the way" Skai answered as she hesitantly took a step inside.
Kelly's green eyes lit up with something unexplainable. "Return them! " she began, she clutched her chest and looked at Skai in mock disbelief, "I couldn't let you return them, they're yours now, look how well they fit you! I insist you keep them" she chimed, that fake smile never once leaving her face.
Skai rested the bag at her feet then folded her arms over her chest. "Talk" she ordered
Kelly stepped back in mock shock, "Skai what are you talking about?" Skai rolled her eyes, adrenaline at its peak, coursing through her body, her dad always away, her mother's nagging personality, her limited freedom, her ugly bedroom, Jasper and Julie, and now Kelly's bitchy attitude, Skai is officially angry.
"Don't give me that bullshit!" Skai snapped
Her own words shocked her temporarily, but she quickly brushed it off.
Kelly's expression grew dark, cold almost as if she was a whole different person.
"Just stay away from David" she warned before pushing Skai and the bag out on the front porch. Kelly shoved the door but Skai stuck her foot in, "why? He clearly doesn't want you?"
Kelly looked her up and down "and who do you suppose he wants? You??" She laughed. "Don't flatter yourself bitch, and stay away from him...or else-"
"Or else what??" Skai interrupted
"Or else you'll regret it...forever" and with that she slammed the door shut.
A furious Skai walked down the driveway and threw the bag in Kelly's bin. She kicked the bin then began her journey home. If that bitch wants war, war she'll get...but I still can't believe I cursed at Kelly...in her own house! Woot woot!
