At the end of the game, some of us were really wasted. And by 'some of us' I mean Topper, who was currently throwing up in the bathroom with an annoyed Carla by his side, and of course Sarah. My best-friend wasn't sick though, she had simply managed to pass out on the couch, or should I say, on John B who was sitting on the couch. Since he couldn't move, JJ and Pope were sitting near him so they could chat. Kelce was nowhere to be seen and I think I saw Chloe going to the kitchen to grab a glass of water for poor Topper. Meanwhile, Rafe had excluded himself in a corner of the living-room. No need to wonder what he was doing.
"Wanna get some fresh air outside?" Kiara's voice sounded at my right.
I nodded and followed her in the garden. We walked nearly until the end of it and sat on the two swings hanging from the big tree. She took a cigarette out of her pocket and lighted it up. But trust me, that didn't smell like tobacco, at all. After smoking it a few times, she handed it to me. I refused politely though. I knew better than anyone that alcohol and weed were no good on me if I mixed them up.
"Sooooo..." She started, with a teasing smile. "That was something earlier, with JJ."
I rolled my eyes and turned my head towards her. "That was a dare." I sighed.
She chuckled. "Yeah, sure. I bet you would have done the exact same thing to any other boy." She said sarcastically before blowing the smoke of her cigarette.
I thought for a while before smiling. "Alright. Maybe I acted this bold because it was JJ. And everything is easier with JJ. But I'm sure he doesn't think much of it. It's JJ." I shrugged.
"Mmmh, I wouldn't be so sure about it." She spoke. "You didn't saw him, but he looked completely bewitched by you. I don't know what you said to him, but it didn't leave him indifferent."
"Really??" I turned to her, a little too eagerly for my liking. But she didn't seem to notice. From what I learned from Kiara, the effects of weed appeared pretty fast on her.
"Yeah, totally." She replied, swinging slowly. "I bet he's even talking about you with the boys right now."
I glanced at the big windows and caught a glimpse of the Pogues. I only recognized them by their silhouettes though, due to the distance separating us. I wondered if what Kiara had said was true, or if it was just the weed and the alcohol in her body. Sure, my flirty behavior didn't let JJ marble, I felt it, but that's JJ. He loves to flirt with everyone, especially with me now that I think about it, but this is just for fun.
"I think I'm going to go back inside. Grab a bottle of water or something. The swinging wasn't a really good idea for me." Kiara said next to me, one hand on her forehead.
