Plot- This one is about Sarah ghosting her. Idk if she was really friends with the Pogues at that point but Ima pretend her and JJ still hung out yknow. Requested by-
Kook school. That was all Kiara could think about on the first day she was forced into that stupid classroom. Self centered rich boys and girls with way brighter futures than her own.
That was, until she met Sarah. She remembered looking for turtles. The smile she wore thinking about how sweet their friendship was. It was all Kiara wanted. To have someone who understood the little things.
Surfing, dreaming about Antarctica and riding camels, wondering why every boy at their school looked incredibly stupid.
The best part was being able to say she had a best friend. It was term she'd always wanted to use. Now that she had it, she never wanted to let it go.
Unfortunately, when she checked her phone that Thursday night, she found out there had been a party; a party she had not been invited to. Sarah's birthday.
First, she waited. Maybe Sarah wanted her to come a little late. Why? She wasn't sure. It was hours before Kie realized Sarah had either forgotten to invite her, or forgotten Kiara all together.
Needless to say, she was pissed. It was a horrible time, really, for JJ to come knocking on her door. She was in a terrible mood.
"Hey." The blonde boy greeted when she opened the door. She didn't even respond, leaving him in the door frame and clomping back upstairs to her room. She knew he would follow, but it was still rude.
He gave a concerned look before doing so, following the sound of her checkerboard vans. She let him in her room and shut the door. She still hadn't said anything to him.
"So..." he mumbled, sitting on her bed hesitantly. "Somethin' wrong...?"
"No, why?" She defended, turning to her computer instead of his eyes.
"You're really asking why?" He sighed. "You don't seem, like, happy. I mean you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, I'm just wondering if you're okay, you know?"
She groaned, and he cringed a little at the sound. She turned again to face him, suddenly taking in the cut on his lip.
"Woah, you good?" She suddenly wondered.
"Huh?"
She gestured to her lip and he shrugged. "I'm actually more worried about you."
The anger returned in her bones. Kiara wanted to scream then. This was Sarah. Her best friend. Surely things weren't as they seemed.
"You gonna tell me what's up or...?"
"It's Sarah."
JJ was immediately confused. "Wait, the kook?"
Kiara glared at him. "I guess."
"What about her? And why do you care?"
"Um... we were kind of close. As far as Kooky schools go." Kiara rolled her eyes. "Turtles and shit..."
That's when JJ surprised her. He sat up, facing her entirely. "Okay, tell me everything."
At those words, she blinked back tears. This Sarah thing was actually starting to hurt. She felt stupid letting herself get betrayed like that.
She told JJ her thoughts from the sea turtles to the party she found out she hadn't been invited to.
"I know it's stupid because I shouldn't have expected anything else from a stupid kook, right?" She sighed, bringing her sleeve over her hand to dry her eyes before they overflowed.
"It's not stupid. You had expectations that were needed and therefore expected. I know what that's like. Sucks when it doesn't go quite the way you hoped." He sighed. "I'm sure we'll learn from it eventually."
"Yeah." She sniffed, giving a weak smile at his understanding. "Thanks, JJ."
"Uh... for what?" He smiled when she did.
"Dealing with my emotional shit." She replied, standing up to go hug him.
Though she initiated the hug, he was the one to deepen it, feeling a lot better now that she sounded happier. He gave a tight squeeze before finally pulling back.
"No problem." He looked away from her. "I gotta be honest. I'm a little surprised I didn't fuck that up."
She laughed to which he scoffed in mock offense. "Don't laugh at me! I count weed as a coping mechanism, okay?"
"Believe me, I know."
She could literally smell the weed the hug left on her clothes. "I guess forget Sarah, hm?" Kiara said, brushing herself off.
"Yeah. She's a kook anyways. Being a Pogue is way more fun anyway."
"Probably right." She agreed. "Speaking of which... wanna go surfing?"
He lit up like a firecracker. "Hell yes!"
"First, though." She paused, pulling out her phone and dialing 911. "Probability of drugs and alcohol at Sarah's party?"
"100%" JJ replied, catching on to her plan. "Damn, Kie, you're really gonna-"
"Hi, yes, I'd like to report a complaint about the Cameron residence..." she interrupted, answering JJ's question.
"Damn." He repeated. She always seemed to surprise her.
