A/N:💚💚Merry Christmas 💚💚
And happy Holidays!!
I know it's 30th but it's just one day left. Anyways enjoy the  chapter!

☃︎Recap☃︎
"Good evening, Carter's and Yvelynn's.
Welcome to our humble abode." Mom says with a genuine smile on her face.

Kayla's pov

It's been two weeks since the dinner which means we've already had the sleepover which also means it's been two weeks since Natalie left. I've been trying to get a hold of her to ask her why she did that but I couldn't get her.
The sleepover was really cool except I couldn't really talk to Tina the way I wanted to since Connor was there but I was good.

Anyways school's been weird not in a bad way but in a good way but with 'hey, what's going on',vibes since Nat and her squad haven't been parading around and no one is really getting picked on by them but she was
also the teachers pet or should we say the teachers ass kisser.

She wasn't really that mean of a person just the part where she aged kind of superior and all.

I have P.E as the next class before lunch. I want to skip but they  have an announcement for all the girls in track so I can't possibly skip thankfully I'll have my sister and Tina.

Tina is in track well not because she wants to. Like who wants to get all sweaty? I mean running is fun but getting sweaty?
Anyways she joined track to help her with recovery.

Time lapse

Right now we're all gathered in the outdoor gym where the track court and football (soccer) field.

The track team is a group of 13 which are both guys and girls. The girls are 7 an the boys are 6.
Some joined because they were not popular, some because their parents forced them to since they do not have after school classes and others because they got the potential but don't use it and the rare few like I joined because we like it.

We've all become good friends and some of them like Finn, Violent or Vi and Reggie have joined our table but we all have a good relationship even though some do not sit at our table .

I'm so glad it isn't that sunny because PE is an 1hour and10minutes period and we've been on the bleachers for 15minutes.

So we mostly use the 1hour on PE stuff and the rest of the time to relax. Our coach may be really strict but she isn't that evil.

I decided to talk towards Tina since I didn't see my sister but after a while of talking with her Kayla joined us so we started talking about things which happened before class and celeb things which I thought weren't really Tina's cup of tea so I underestimated her. Turns out she knows a little tea here and there. After a while of talking I noticed that Kayla and Tina seemed to bond a little more and I was really happy because it's really nice to see your sister/ best friend get along with you new best friend.
Like who wouldn't be happy?

And then we all (track team), start to think that maybe our coach wouldn't be arriving since she's 23 minutes late or maybe she quit and that was the announcement.

Speak of the devil.

Just then coach O'Connell, beautiful warm brown hair, with brown eyes which compliments her pale skin and her 5'8 figure and a stunning body with muscle and her beautiful smile on her face with that she walks in.

No one would think she's gym teacher.

When she walks in all the little chit chatting ends but then the cheerleading squad which consists of 7 girls or six cheergirls since Natalie has left enter then all silence turns to commotion. With our track members shooting questions at coach.

And let me tell you that was the most uncomfortable, I've seen Mrs. O'Connell.

"Hey." Mrs. O'Connell said with her soft tone trying to get our attention but there was still commotion with some talking with each other and others still shooting questions.

"HEY!" Mrs. O'Connell yelled flailing her arms as if we just told her that we hated doing laps. And let me tell you, you do not want to tell her that.
She may be sweet and stuff but you don't want to mess with her.

All talk and chit chat turns into silence.

"Now, now. I know that you have questions *then we mhmmed* ,

and your wondering what announcement I'm going to make  *we mhmmed again* and

why the cheer squad is here."
She is said with her russian accent becoming much more thick.

The questions about the cheer squad were;
'what these snobs doing here?'
Or
'what do we need them for?'
Or
'what do they have to do with the announcement your making?'

Then the last and horrible question which one of our team member, Tyler, the newest member asked was
'Are they joining the team?'.

And everyone was like
'What the HELL'.

And coach looked a little repulsed by the thought of it.
And she's their cheer coach.

She cleared her throat and said
"Firstly, No these girls are not joining the team
*and we all let out the breath we were unknowingly holding* 
but they have everything to do with the announcement
*then series of groans were made*
now, now don't get ahead of yourselves you haven't even heard the announcement yet."
She said, "Now as I was saying before I was interrupted many times."

*she says glaring daggers at us*

"The announcement I'm making has the cheer girls included in it.

First of all, we'll be hosting an interschool competition with our rival schools; Malthipsters and Greentage and this is a track competition obviously.
Anyways to help with team spirit and all we'll use the cheer squad. Even though they are not joining the team you two must be able to make friends amongst each other or try to be friends. If I get any complaints you will all run 6 laps whether you were part or not and if you did or didn't start it.

Now you all know what they are
*moving her hand to the her left side which the squad is standing at*
here for.

The competition will start on Friday and since today's Tuesday we have two days for training. What Jules is passing out are the consent forms your parents or guardians *she says as one of the cheer girls, Julie, passes the forms*, are supposed to sign so we know who's performing and who's coming parents would be coming. Remember to bring them tomorrow morning or after school tomorrow.

Since that's all clarified any questions?" Mrs O'Connell asks.

One of the cheer leader boys Gilbert asked "Ma'am isn't Friday a, um.. holiday?

"Yes and that is exactly why the school decided to host the event.
The snow probably would have started long before but then it may not be as strong as last two years.
And the weather will be perfect here in Sunnyvale, since we have a little more sun than the other parts of Seattle on the SunnPotato-Potato holiday, the weather would be good enough to run plus we have heaters here. We don't want anyone getting hypothermia. Exactly why there are consent forms.
Coach says.

After that I tune everything out reading the form whiles everyone else  asks questions.

Time lapse

It's 4:30 pm. 

So it's been an 1hour and 30 minutes since school ended.

And I'm going to take a shower so I knock on the door just to make sure Jimena isn't in since it's an adjoining bathroom so we both use it.

I take my shower and wash my hair,
(A/N:she removed her braids)
and put on my pastel pink robe.
I step out of the bathroom and  shriek because Jimena was standing outside the bathroom and i wasn't expecting her to be standing there or even for her to be there.

Jimena also shrieks but instead she's mocking me and laughs afterward.

"What are you doing here?" I said clearly annoyed.

"Aww. Little sister, why are you acting like that?" She asks with a pout and an innocent looking face. If only she was.

"Well you almost gave me a heart attack." I said throwing on my underwear and putting on sweater dress. Since it was quite chilly even though the heater is on.

I move to my dresser and turn on my air dryer.

"Aww sorry Hun." She says.

"So what do you want?" I ask as unwrap my hair from the towel and put on the air dryer thingy and face the mirror and start to air dry my hair whiles she sits down on my little bean bag beside the dresser.

"Why would you say that?" She asks.

"Well you only come to my room if you want something, your bored, you want to annoy me." I say and pause," Or have you come to raid my secret candy stash? Which probably isn't secret anymore since you've raided it or—?"

"Yeah, yeah, I get the picture", She says,"but, could you me a favour?"

"Sure but what is it? If it is to ask Marcus for his shampoo I'm not doing it, again. You just have to face the fact that his hair is perfectly soft and curly and yours is curly wavy." I say as I take some hair from the back and air dry it.

I got up from my vanity faux fur chair.

"No, nope. That isn't it. I came here to ask
"Ok, um...do you wanna watch a movie or something?" I ask.

"Ok but isn't it too early?" Kayla asks. And I just shrug my shoulders.

Since she's sitting on the bed already she switches off the lights and close the blinds which are close to the the TV while I close the light curtains on the other part of the room.

Then we both crawl into the comforter.

"Telenovelas?" She asks
And I nod.

We put on Love and Mafia affairs. Right now we are on episode 10 when Maria finds out that Rodrigo's in the Mafia.

Time lapse

We just finished dinner and now I'm going to ask dad to sign the consent form since Mom's asleep.

So I'm going to wait for Dad to come from work since it's 9:52 so he'll probably be here around 10 or ten something since he said he'll be home early.
I really don't understand why he stays much I mean even though the company is under Grandma and PA's  company it still his. I guess he likes being there for him being able to control what goes on. Dad likes control it's like his second nature he isn't over controlling but when I comes to certain things you just let him be him.

I grab my phone and scroll through tiktok and see what people are doing now.

It's been 8 minutes since I've been on tiktok. So I decide to go heat up dad's food.  Ms. Riley is could do it since she's our caretaker but I like doing these things once in a while especially when I'm bored and I don't want to bother her even though it's her job.

I walk into our grande kitchen and walk over to our fridge and takeout the containers with the left over food and put them onto the counter and decide whether or not to use the microwave.

We actually don't use the microwave as much as we used to ever since mom found out that there's radiation in the microwave so we use it like once in a week or in a month.

So we just take a pan it's mostly a frying pan or whatever pan your going to use for that food so we call it the 'heating' pan, since we have more than three pans of each type we use a certain pain if that type to heat the food.

So I take out the teriyaki rice and chicken with the edamame and place it on a plate and put it in the microwave instead and take out a pan to heat the gravy sauce.
So I set it for 2:05 and wait.

I open the fridge and look for juice since it's late. I find mango juice so I pour it in a glass. And just sit on the chair in the kitchen and scroll through my phone.

The microwave *dings* so I take out another plate and set the food on it.

I move to the dining table with the food and set the napkins and cutlery.
As I'm setting the it the front door opens.

"Dad?" I call out.

"Yes princess? Where are you?"
He asks in a soft fatherly tone.

"I'm in the dining area." I say.

Then I hear heavy large footsteps heading towards my way.

Dad walks in. His black hair still perfectly gelled and his emerald green eyes shining bright with his navy tie undone and his navy suit jacket in his arm.

"Oh wow something smells good in here."

I giggle at his childish behaviour.
"Yep. We had teriyaki rice with grilled chicken breast and vegetable sauce and edamame. And I heated it up." I said.

Then I take out the his seat for him.
And as he sits down I take his suit jacket from his hands. When I come back.
"Thank you, sweetie." He says with his thick British accent but with a hint of Italian and Spanish accent.

And he opens his arms and I give him a hug whiles he gives me a kiss on my head.
"You know your pampering me which means I'm getting old, early." He says with a chuckle.
We break the hug and I laugh at that and say,
"No your not getting old."

"Hopefully I am not I want to be good enough to run to beat any boy who hurts my princess but hopefully it would be a gentleman who takes you out so that he won't face my wrath." He says with a serious face but I know he's joking but I can't help but laugh.
And he gives me a little smile.

For the rest of dinner or well his dinner  we talked about the things that happened today and the other things. I also asked him if he could sign the consent form and he said yes and signed it and also said he'll be this Friday.

We continued to talk until around quarter to 11:00pm, when mom woke up and saw us talking and told us both to sleep especially me since I have school.

This mostly happens when we talk, we talk to late or until we are needed or mom finds us talking and I like having these father daughter moments with him. I'm not saying he's my fav parent cause I love them both.

We said our "goodnights" and I head up to my room .

After I brushed my teeth, I closed my eyes and once my head hit the pillow I went off to Dreamland.

A/N: Hi!! How are y'all it's currently the last day of this yr and I'm so excited!!! Can't wait I'm currently posting this chap at 01:07.

Ok so I have questions.
First of all;
Do y'all like the Authors notes I put in the story or not?

Is the length of this chap ok?
Also did you like the amount of Time lapses I did?

Do you like her dad?
Or was he too soft dad much for our liking?
Are you a cheerleader?
Or is anyone or was anyone you know a cheerleader?

Anyways I didn't write soccer instead of football since I don't like calling football 'soccer' because to me dude it doesn't make sense because we are  literally play the ball  with our foot. And no offense to those who call it soccer or like American football I'm just stating my point.

Pronunciation
1. Malthipsters (Mal-hipsters)
2. Grentage (Grenntage for example like your saying Gwen but instead Grenn)
3. SunnPotato-Potato (Saunn-Pot·tay·to-Po·taa·to)

Anyways how was your Christmas in quarantine?
