Bad Timing - Jiara (JJ Maybank & Kiara Carrera)

Chapter 2

"did you go against my words and not use protection?" Danielle jokes in a prying voice as he eyes Kiara who was lying on the bathroom floor after having thrown up, followed by her sighing as she immediately shut the door in the boy's face.

"can't wait to see JJ to beat his ass" He continues as he joins Pope on Kiara's bed, awaiting her exist from the bathroom.

"Danny, shut up, it's probably just that nasty tuna sandwich" Pope argues as soon as Kiara comes out to the room, a rather nonchalant look on her face.

"yep, no matter how good they taste I always regret eating them" Kiara jests, stepping forward from the foot of the bed to face the mirror instead of Danielle and Pope's incurious looks.

"alright, I'm going to see JJ, talk to you guys later" Kie comments after she was done untying and retying the ponytail on the back of her head, proceeding by making it more elegant by framing her temple with a bunch of strands of the lowlights scattered in her coiled brown hair.

"Tell him we said hi"

Mumbling a 'will do', Kiara took a mental note to send Pope and Danielle's regards, but that farthest thing in her mind, especially when her eyes answered the question she asked about the whereabouts of her bestfreind, for as she faced the widely open door of JJ's room, non-other than Sarah Cameron was hugging the one and only JJ Maybank, her absolute sworn enemy.

"H-hey! What's going on here? W-what, wh-what are you doing here?" Kiara sparingly aims her questions to both the blondes who couldn't help but jump a little when noticing Kie, yet she wouldn't blame them, for her appearance was sudden, and the tone she way using showed exactly why her eyes were wide open with bewilderment.

"oh hey, Kie, I was just checking up on this guy" Sarah answered, a smile forming on her face, but Kie was unsure if that was because of her presence or the fact that her bestfriend's eyes were glued to JJ's. 

"right" The brunette nodded, feeling that brisk tense feeling grow in the air, almost polluting it, for her breath got stuck in her throat. "yeah, but I just thought" She paused again, achieving the complete opposite of lifting the mood in the room, "I just thought only me and my dad were the only ones on the list"

Even the words coming out of her mouth were guttural, not that her faced didn't show enough discomfiture. 

"well yeah, but Agnes said it's recommended if I added one of my friends, and between JB's scolding and Pope's weirdness, Sarah was the best option" JJ spoke partially anxious, as if he was in that interrogation room without Mike's help.

Of course it was Agnes's idea. Kiara thought to herself. Whom else would bring her discomfort other than Agnes?

Yet that wasn't quite it, for something else about the sight that irked her, and only then did it occur to her how much the 'blond enemies' were alike. 

Both were wearing oversized short-sleeved tops. JJ was bodying a cream shirt with slim black pants, while Sarah beautified a bumblebee yellow baggy shirt with random graphics about how essential coffee is, paired with bike shorts under and a white stripped green flannel that looked oddly familiar layered above it, and it took Kiara a while to figure out it was JJ's.

It wasn't that she disliked Sarah smelling like JJ's perfume, or her taking his jacket home, or Kie coming across it while doing laundry and feeling a ping in her heart, or the fact that Sarah bodied it better than Kiara could have ever even with a smile oversized shirt that would look hideous on the brunette- alright, maybe she was intimidated by it.

Except that still wasn't the only thing that changed JJ and Sarah's relationship, in Kiara's mind at least, for the fact that they were certainly the same person, yet different gender, because never once in her life did Sarah care about what others have to say, and so did JJ.

Both were abandoned by their mothers while kids, leading to insufferable trauma, since Sarah's mother left so abruptly that it was unexpected, ditching Sarah's dad alone to take care of her and her little sister, likewise JJ's whose mother dropped both JJ and his sister with a father too drunk to function, leaving all the responsibly on Trista, which caused her suicide. In addition, little did Sarah stay with any of her many boyfriends more than a month at most, for all of them would end up being cheated on, same as JJ, who never had a real relationship to begin with.

"alright, I better get going, see you later" Sarah utters, mostly to the boy, patting JJ on the back minimally before walking past Kiara as she departed with the room, alongside what seemed like a sham smile, but perhaps it was just Kiara's overthinking forcing it to be. 

"well, good morning to you too" JJ acknowledges a still-in-outer-space Kiara, compelling her out of her daze by cupping her face leisurely, proceeding to kiss her lips moderately. 

"Sorry, I-I am just-" Kiara mutters, a little taken aback from the sudden events, yet as soon as she gave up trying to talk, his lips mellifluously pressed against her in one unhurried manner, to which she accepted gracefully, letting go of any doubts she'd had, for she trusted both Sarah and JJ not to hurt her...right?

"I get it, it's been some rough couple weeks, babe" JJ speaks, rather hesitantly finishing his sentence, for he didn't know if him and Kiara were still standing, or ever were for that matter.

"that is why, we're sneaking out of here" He added, a wicked smile morphing across his lips, to which Kiara clearly disagreed with, and the unsatisfied look on her face proved it all.

"oh come on, i won't get us caught" His grin grew toothy, walking over to homey sill of the large bay window projecting outwards as he opened one of the three windows that revealed way too much daylight for both Kie and JJ's liking.

While he peeked through thin air when the window was fully opened, Kiara left her grudge behind as she joined him, surprised by Sarah. 

"have fun, you deserve it" She uttered before spinning on her heels and into her car, away from the scenery. 

JJ seemed to have been looking at something, so Kiara leaned further away from the safety of the ground to see a ladder that leaned over the outside frame of the spacious bay window.
