Monica's POV
"What's with the sudden change of nickname..." I asked curiously. "We're at your house and there's a big M on the door." he said rolling his eyes. "You mean all the time that's been there, I didn't remember that?" I asked shocked, as that has been since some long time Christmas. Kiana had gotten it for me. "Thanks for the ride CJ. " I said as he drove off.
~A few days before the Winter Ball~
Kiana's POV
"Well looks like your arm is healed Kiana. You're good to go!" Dr. Brown said, taking my cast off. "Oh thank you Dr. Brown for taking here of me!" I shouted, smiling broadly, "I'm free!" I hugged Dr. Brown tightly. I ran outside the hospital, earning a few glances from people but I didn't mind. I called Monica immediately, shaking so much I could barely click on the numbers. "Monica, guess what?!" I said excitedly. "What? What?" she asked concerned and startled. "My arm is healed!!! Eeeeek!" I shrieked while watching people stare at me angrily. "Omg! I'm coming to pick you up right now!" she replied surprised, yelling at someone before hanging up. A few minutes later, Caleb's car pulled up and Monica jumped out and gave me a big, tight hug. "You got a bit taller..." Monica said. "Who cares about height? Let's go celebrate!" I said and hopped into the car, not remembering anything about the month I spent in the hospital.

"Guys, celebration at my house, ASAP. " Monica said on the phone. "Let's set this place up." I said, pulling out decorations from Monica's attic. "Ummm...first you gotta change outta that..." Monica replied, taking the decor from me, "You've been wearing that since forever." I got some of the clothes that I always keep at her house, and went to the bathroom to take a long bath. I HAD to get rid of that hospital smell. By the time I got back downstairs, the living room was fully decorated and my friends and my mom standing at the stairway. (bruh, I don't even know if this is a word XD ). "Welcome back!" everyone shouted.
All my friends had a shot cup in their hands, except Monica who thought drinking was stupid. "Don't do anything stupid guys!" Monica said as Jason and Caleb started drinking. "Impossible...." I replied, pouring some Charanda liquor into Katie's shot cup. Kate went to Monica and whispered something into her ear. "Can you not drink a lot tonight?" Monica asked me with a slightly angry face. "What is it gonna affect my health or something?" I asked confused. Katie sighed and replied "We'll tell you later, right boys?" They were probably at their 20th shot, and that was quite a lot for them. They were probably drunk.....yeah they were totally drunk.
"Monica....there's someting I need to tell you." Caeb said slurring. "OH NO YOU DON'T!!!" I shouted jumping on him while covering his mouth. "Get off of me crazy lady! What d you want from meh?" Caleb screamed at the top of his lungs. Caleb told me, that he loved Monica so much, he would damn die for her. "I'm not gonna ruin your life cause you drunk boy!" I replied sternly. Katie and Monica looked me awkwardly, but it clearly wasn't time for me to make any explanations. "Katie, darling, I didn't even realize your blue eyes had a glisten in them." Jason said caressing her back. "My eyes are brown, darling, they are brown." Katie said folding her lips. The doorbell rang and Monica went to answer it. With eyes wide open, James asked shocked, "Ummm, what's going on?" "Well, we were trying to keep a party, but it kinda got out of hand..." I replied fiddling with my fingers, knowing I was the main reason for this. "I'll help you get them together." James insisted.
Now my mom be sitting in the corner chilling like, "Kids these days. I bet that one over there gonna spill some tea." Well being the great mother she is, she helped us round the boys together. After Jason passed out, my mother said, "Well I ain't carrying him. He probably weigh as much as the Earth." We all laughed at her as she shook her head smiling. "They'll probably break my poor bed." Monica said opening the guest room. "Your floor probably will break too." said my sassy mother, making her African traits come to use. Trust me, I'm nothing like that.

"Jason looks so cute when he sleeps..." Katie said staring at her boyfriend. "Katie, don't you see him sleep every day?" James asked mischieviously. "The question is..why is Caleb so heavy? He got a ton of bricks in him or somehting?" I asked wiping sweat from my forehead. "Filled with all his love for me..." I heard Monica mumble. Me being so shocked asked her, "How do you know that?!?!" Slapping herself in the face, she asked, "Did I really say that out loud?" I nodded, still waiting for a reply. "Well, he kinda told me not too long ago." There was a awkward silence (as always in this story), then I said pouting sadly, "Wait you knew about dis? Why didn't you tell me?" Grimacing, Monica replied, "Well, I mean it was a secret so like...yeah." I saved that idiot's secret for nothing. James' phone rang and he went outside the room to answer. One thing I heard him yell is," I don't want to and I don't have to." Afterwards, he came back and obviously saw my confused face. "Sibling issues..." he muttered. We all (including my mom) talked about some random stuff and James, my mom and I decided to go home. "Adios Monica take care of them." James said. Katie, being so insecure wanted to stay. We said our farewells and went home.
"Bye James, see you later." I said, waving along with my mom. "Goodnight Kiana." James said approaching his house, which was across the road from mine. I went in the house and smiled. "Home sweet home." I said sighing. Not like a sad sigh, but a happy sigh. "It's been lonely without you..." my mother said hugging me tightly. "Oh, ok mom, too tight now." I said, feeling as if my eyes were gonna burst out their sockets. "Well, you should go to bed now. You have a surprise waiting for you tomorrow." my mom said excitedly. "Ok...well...goodnight mom." I said, feeling the excitement in myself. "Goodnight." my mom replied.
I went to my room and as soon as I opened the door, I saw a silhouette at my window. I looked down and didn't see anyone or anything. "What the heck?" I said. Luckily, nohing was missing, but my diary and friendship bracelet from Monica was moved up a bit. My wouldn't go in my room while I was gone and she didn't even care about these sort of stuff. I lay in my bed and tried to sleep...but I couldn't. All I could think about was who could want those stuff and why? When I got real drowsy, I feel asleep at 4 am.
"Kiana! Kiana! Wake up!" my mothe sang at my door. "Ugh....but I just fell asleep.." I groaned, wrapping myself in the sheet. "Well, your surprise is here...so it would be best if you woke up." she responded. "You had me at surprise." I said jumping out of bed. "Oh my god! Kyle!" I shouted as soon as I opened the door. I ran to him at the kitchen counter and squeezed him so tightly I thought I could never let go. "Since when is the little sister the same height as the older brother?" Kyle asked smiling brightly. "Since now." I replied smirking. I was so happy I finally saw my brother; he was smiling so widely, but there was a bit of sad in his eyes. Yeah I said it, "sad" in his eyes....
"Aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" he asked me curiously. I looked at him blanking, thinking about no other place than my bed. ".....shopping for you Winter Ball dress?" he continue. I gasped and facepalmed myself, "I totally forgot about that! How could I forget about it?" Kyle chuckled as I looked at him grumpily. Coming to realization I asked, "Wait why aren't you still in China?" My mom from the kitchen replied, "He doesn't want to talk about it, but he'll probably tell you later, right Kyle?" He nodded and said, "Well...what are you waiting for? Get into some good clothes and call Monica 'cause she's coming too."
"Hey Kyle! Long time don't see." Monica said when she arrived to our house wearing a black ponte dress and black leather ankle boots. "I need something that can easily go on and off." she said flashing her hair. "Whatevs, let's get shopping before all the dresses are gone." Kyle said, always being the supportive brother he is.
