The more things change…
Joey looked up at the sky, not really trying to focus on anything, more so then he wanted to focus on the fact, which he was laying on the ground staring at the sky. It had been a weird day with the sea creatures, dealing with the in-crowd, and well Eris. She was a strange one, and of course every guy in the school, hell every guy within 50 miles wanted her, and for some reason Joey could see why. She was nowhere near his type, but there was something about her, maybe it was those pheromones, either way, she was trouble, and he had to keep her at a distance, if at least to maintain his cool.
*Doo do do do Doo do do di do!*
Joey recognized the familiar tone of his cell phone, on of the perks of his upbringing, he slowly grabbed it, and answered it on the fourth ring, “Hey…” not even looking to see who called.
“Don’t hey me, jerk! You go to Costa Rica to some fancy school, and you forget about your twin sister, now that is just rude!” Jayna’s voice was harsh, though pleasant at the same time.
“Dude, I was just about to call you, like in a few minutes,” Joey replied smoothly.
“Don’t play that crap with me, oh and Shay says hello,” Jayna quipped back.
“Huh? I don’t know Shay, that is your little friend,” Joey replied.
“That didn’t stop you from sleeping with her,” Jayna replied back harshly, “now she thinks you two are like together and stuff. She thinks she can change you or something, I tried to tell her…” Jayna sighed.
Joey shrugged out of habit, “Oh yeah, the redhead right?”
“Shay is blonde,” Jayna replied dryly.
“Whatever, why are you calling again?” Joey replied looking at the sky.
“Leon wanted me to call to make sure you made it alright, and well I just wanted to make sure you were alright, being my brother and all I guess I care,” her tone slightly more pleasant.
Joey paused for a moment, “Yeah Costa Rica is phat, cheap beer, nice beaches, and tons of betties, and hot guys, for you.”
Jayna sighed, “I have a boyfriend.”
“Never stopped you before,” Joey replied.
Jayna laughed, “Well I am obligated to say that, it is the right thing to say,” she replied, “does not mean I have to actually believe that.”
“You are as bad as I am, just admit it,” Joey replied.
“I don’t think so,” she laughed coyly, “but let me guess, you already found yourself a native, I mean it has been what 48 hours or so?”
“I am not that bad, although there are a few betties around that I wouldn’t mind hooking up with, keeping it low-key. I kind of have got my eye on one of them, this really smart brainy betty, like finished college and stuff, and she likes to surf,” Joey replied.
“Oh speaking of which, guess who just surfed a 20 foot wave,” Jayna replied.
“Sweet, want a cookie?” Joey smirked.
“Whatever, hey I got to get going, keep it touch, alright?”
“Yeah of course, peace,” Joey hung up, and laid his head back down. Some things just never changed….
