"It Was..." - Kiara Carerra

When your father won the lottery and moved you across the island, you weren't happy about the Pogue to Kook transition. You didn't understand their values. They cared more about shoes then surfing. What were you supposed to do with that? You weren't as opposed to the arrangement when you met Kiarra at midsummers. You had seen her with John B and his friend at your old school you just never talked to her before.

You, Sarah Cameron and Kiarra snuck out of midsummers to go to a bonfire with John B, JJ and Pope. From then on the whole whole group was constantly together. But even when you weren't with everyone you were with Kiara. You followed her everywhere. It felt unnatural to be apart. It would give you major separation anxiety when you weren't with Kie. So you stopped staying away from eachother. She was always at your house or vise versa.

You found your self feeling jealous when Pope would touch her arm too flirtatiously, or when JJ would make sexual comments about her when she wasn't listening. You paid no mind to you brief emotions. They were probably nothing. You were just best friends...right?

You all laid back in the hammock. You were positioned like you were ready for the whole thing to collapse under the weight of six teens. You laid back against kies chest as she braided your hair. "Who's up for some t or d?" JJ suggested to the group. John B was the first to agree with JJ's idea. Then Sarah and Kie. There was no way kie was playing with out you. Not when you knew the stupid dares JJ would give her. So you joined in. JJ crawled out of the hammock.

You all followed him. You sat around the fire on separate logs. "I'll start." JJ declared. You all waited to see who he'd call on. You sat between Pope and Kie. "Y/n..." JJ decided. Your head shot toward him not prepared for him to choose you. You were sure he'd pick John B or Kiara. You stared at him with wide eyes. "Truth or dare." He sat back with a mischievous grin. You looked back and forth between the parties. Sarah sat on John B's lap and JJ reached into the cooler for a Coor's, while Kie and Pope stared at you waiting for your response. "Uh truth." You stuttered. Kie let out a sigh. You watched JJ think of something to ask you. His face told you it would be a juicy question. "Lame." Kie muttered her protests at your decision. You ignored her comment. JJ leaned forward before revealing his question. He looked at you with a torturing grin. "Who was your first kiss?" He asked. Everyone's eyes were on you. Your shoulders fell as you sunk back into your seat. "I havent ever been kissed." You admitted, looking to kie, metering her reaction. She looked surprised. JJ sat back his hand clapped down on his thigh unsatisfied by your answer. "No way." Kie followed after his efforts. You shook your head assuring her it was true.

Kie was to JJ's right, making it her turn. "Hmmm." She hummed as she looked around the group deciding who she'd torture. "Pope." She shot up toward him. You could see in her face she knew what her dare and or question would be. "Truth or dare." She sang. Pope looked unamused. He rolled his eyes with a huff. "Dare." He groaned. Kiaras grin grew. You knew Pope was about to get a good dare. "I dare you..." she began as she looked back and forth between you and pope. "To give yn her first kiss." She dared. Your eyes shot at her with fury. You head whipped back around to a smiling Pope. "Only if Yn's down." He played cool. Kiara rolled her eyes. "Oh what ever you've had a crush on her for forever." She taunted. Pope's face went numb. "KIE!" He spat. JJ high fived her as she giggled. "Are you down or do you chicken out yn?" JJ asked. Your rolled your eyes. You wanted nothing more then to wipe that cheesy grin off his face. You walked over to Pope on your hands and knees. "Ooo." JJ whistled. You grinned at Pope. His knee bounced up and down as you got closer. He cleared his throat. You climbed over him. You hooked your hand loosely behind his neck. "Get it Pope!" John B howled. You planted your lips on his. You sat in his lap making out with him. You bit his bottom lip gently. You pulled your head back letting go of his lip letting it bounce back.

"Ow ow ow!" Sarah howled like John B. You sat back down in your seat wiping your mouth before winking at Pope. Kie got up walking away from the group. "Woah." John B muttered. "Whats her problem." JJ asked the group. You got up following her. You trailed her to the other side of the house. "Kie?" You called. She stopped infront of you not turning around. "Whats wrong?" You asked her. She didn't respond at first. You walked around in front of her. "Please." You basically begged. "I know I made the dare but I didn't expect you to... do that." She mumbled.

"What do you mean Kie?" You asked confused. She huffed sarcastically. "It hurt to watch Yn that's what I mean." She complained. You sighed as you realized you fucked up. "I didnt know you had feelings for him or I never would-" you began. "Your not getting it Yn." She cut you off. You waited for her to elaborate, becuase she was right. You weren't getting it. She took a deep breath not looking you in the eye. "I dont have romantic feelings for Pope yn..." she mumbled.

She sat on a tree stump and patted the space next to you indicating she wanted you to sit. "Look, meeting you was the best day of my life." She rambled. You were still clueless to what she was trying to say. "I thought you said saving baby sea turtles on the beach with Sarah was the best day of your life?" You asked. She huffed. "It was..." she began. "Untill i met you. Everything felt like it clicked into place with you." You still weren't getting it. She took your hand looking back and forth between both of your eyes. "I dont have feelings for Pope because I have feelings for you Y/n." She spelled it out. You didn't have time to react. "And I've been so scared to tell you.." she blurted. A smile pulled at your lips. As you realised what she a as telling you. "Because your my best friend and I just didn't want to lose you..." you shook your head. You cupped her face in your hands before kissing her. That shut her up real quick. You pulled away and her mouth hung open slightly, surprised. "I have feelings for you too." You admit. "Hand it over." You heard behind you. Both of your heads whipped around to see JJ holding out his hands in front of Sarah, Johnb and Pope. They all gave him 20 bucks. "What?" You asked with a scoff. "We made a bet on when you'd figure out yall liked eachother. I bet it'd be today." He explained. You and kie laughed. "You all knew?" You asked. They all nodded. You all laughed. That was only the beginning of yours and kies story.
