Over the next couple of weeks, Jade and Niko made up and were talking like they used to.
"So Niko, did you get me anything for Christmas?" Jade asked, antsy to find out.
Niko shrugs and continues watching TV, while eating Cheetos.
"Come on Niko! Just answer!" Jade crosses her arms and narrows her eyes at Niko.
"If I did, you wouldn't be getting anything." Niko smiles at her and plays with his lip ring.
Jade glares at him but sits back and watches Friends.
After almost an hour of binge watching Netflix, Jade gets up. "We are going to my aunt's house where I will make her get everyone together. We are giving gifts and I can't take it anymore. I just want to know if you got me anything."
Jade groans and pulls Niko up. She throws his shoes at him and waits as he puts them on and then his jacket on too.
They drive to Sara's house and Jade walks in. "Hi aunt Sara, Finnegan, Kay! I have a question for you aunt Sara!"
Niko heads up the stairs to Kayson's room while Jade goes to Sara.
"What's up?" Niko asks closing Kayson's previously shut door. He sits on Kayson's bed and watches him.
Kayson looks up and sees Niko sitting at the end of his bed. "Hey, why are you here?"
Niko shrugs "Jade drug me here. She wanted to see if I got her anything."
"Did you?"
Niko nods. "She's my best friend, why wouldn't I?"
Kayson shrugs and sits up. He reaches over his bed and pulls a tiny box out wrapped in penguin wrapping paper. Kayson extends it to Niko and he takes it hesitantly.
"Can I open it now?" Kayson nods and Niko goes at it taking all of the tape off. It was wrapped in paper and then had about three inches of packing tape over that.
"Screw you Kayson." Niko mutters after trying for about five minutes.
Kayson laughs and watches as Niko struggles to get the tape off. Finally he gets it off and takes the wrapping paper off. Niko opens the box to see three new lip rings sitting there.
"Thanks." Niko says taking one out.
Niko takes out the lip ring he originally had and replaced it with the one he got.
"Kayson! Niko! Can you come downstairs?" Sara yelled and they went downstairs where a couple relatives were at.
