Kiara's pov
"Kie, we're leaving," I hear my mom say. I haven't spoken to her in the last few days. I take my hand off JJ's jaw and turn around to the rest of my friends. "Bye guys, I love you all," I make out before starting to cry. We get into one last grouphug and then it's time. We have a long drive to go. "We'll call and text and FaceTime and even write letters," I hear Sarah joke. I laugh faintly and get into the car. I wave at them until I can't see them anymore.

It's quiet in the car. I'm listening to the playlist the boys made me, it's a mix of songs we listened a lot to and them telling their favourite story's about our friendship. The first one I heard was one of John B's, it's about the time we fist met and how the three of them all thought they had a chance with me. I hear my mom ask me something but I decide to ignore her. "Kiara, your mother was asking you something," my father says a big louder,"what do you want to eat?" I shrug my shoulders and reply that I don't care and it turns silent again.
After being on the road for eight hours we finally arrive. I sigh when I see what kind of people are walking around, they are all kooks. Someone comes for my bags and my parents go in to check me in.  I send a quick message to my friends.

THE POGUES🌊🌴🏄🏼🏄🏼‍♂️

Just arrived, they're all kooks!

John B: That sucks, watch out before you turn into one!

JJ: Any potential lovers?

Sarah: It will be alright!💕

I smile and put my phone away as I follow my parents and the guy with my bags upstairs. Room 812, JJ's birthday I think and I chuckle before going into the room. The room is divided in two. Both sides have a bed and a desk and on the left side is a door, it must be the bathroom. "Where is my roommate?", I ask,"I thought she would be here." I walk over to she empty side of the room and drop my backpack on the bed. "She's having dinner downstairs," the guy who brought us up here says. I glance over at him and notice he's quite cute. Blond messy hair, blue eyes, slightly muscular and a bit taller then me, not as much a kook as the rest of them.

After my parents say goodbye I'm alone in the room. I start to unpack my bags when I hear the door open. "Hey, you must be my new roommate", I hear a voice say. I turn around to see a full on kook, like Sarah before she started hanging out with us. "I'm Kiara, but please call me Kie," I say with a smile on my face. Better start on good terms. "Anne," she says,"nice to meet you." We chatted some more until she got up to leave again. "I have a date," she says while quickly putting on some mascara.

A minute later I'm alone again. I see a text from Sarah saying she won't be able to call me tonight but that she will tomorrow. I decide to call JJ instead. Luckily he picks up almost right away.
"Hey princess, how's your castle?"
I chuckle.
"Its alright I guess. I share my room with some kook, but she seems okey. She's totally your type, except from the kook part."
"Really, told her about me yet?"
"Nope, she's out on a date anyway. And you don't really seem like the long distance kind of guy."
"I'm usually not, but for the right girl."

There is that feeling in my stomach again, the flutter. We talk for about an hour until I decide to go to bed. We say our goodbyes and I go to the bedroom and turn on the shower. The moment I get in I start crying. Fuck I hate this feeling, the feeling of missing out on my friends.

The first few weeks go actually well, I made some new friends but still miss my pogues. I've been calling all of  them a lot, but mostly JJ. Ever since Pope and Cleo started dating, what I of course had to find out by text, he's been the one with the most time. I really did leave him as the fifth weel on the wagon. I'm kind of scared he's going to replace me with someone closer to him, but I really hope he doesn't.

The guy I met when I first got here asked me out a week later. I said yes, but it didn't work out. Guess he wasn't my type after all, personality wise.

Next week I will finally go back for a week, since it's Christmas and all. I didn't tell them I was coming for a week though, just for 3 days. I already bought my presents for them and my parents are organising a Christmas dinner party for us.

I can't wait to see them all again, especially JJ. Sarah says he misses me a lot, but she also says I'm starting to get feelings for him. So I don't know what to believe with her. JJ is my best friend. Just that, right?
