Celestial ~ JJ Maybank

04.

An hour later, the kegger was well on its way.

A mix of Pogues, Kooks and Tourons were amongst the crowd on the boneyard – the designated kegger spot. They didn't even know how everyone always found out about the keggers but somehow everyone turns up anyway. Even if they're not welcome.

Pope was talking with a Touron about his love for dead bodies. As usual, the poor girl nodded at him whilst seemingly looking for an escape.

John B was giving out drinks from the beer keg whilst talking with a mix of Pogues and Tourons.

Celeste was sat with Kiara, talking with some boys about some stupid shit that the girls weren't interested in at all, knowing they were just over-exaggerating their stories just to get in their pants. Celeste looked around the boneyard, scanning the crowd. As normal, her eyes landed on a certain blond Pogue. He had a few girls around him, who were completely absorbed in the shit coming out of his mouth. One of the girls next to him was trying to flirt so obviously, it made Celeste chuckle out loud. This attracted the attention of Kie, who followed her line of sight to see JJ.

Kie watched as Celeste's face dropped at the sight of one the girls that JJ was flirting with, now kissing him.

Let's just say he wasn't pulling away.

Kiara knew of the crush Celeste had on the blond boy for a long time now. They all did. Just like they all knew that JJ reciprocated her feelings for years now. Although Celeste has never been one to flirt with guys other than JJ, her crush not allowing her to, the same couldn't be said for JJ. They all assumed it was him trying to make himself feel better about her not liking him back even though it was very clearly not the case. Or he was just trying to make her jealous.

Instead, it was just making her upset.

That boy was too stupid for his own good Kie couldn't help but think.

Kiara grabbed her arm and pulled her in the direction of John B instead, ignoring the frat boys from the mainland calling them back over.

The two could see John B was talking to a girl but they didn't care. Normally Celeste would leave him be, let him get lucky after such a rough year but right now, she was too upset to care and needed to distract herself with her other best friends.

When they got to him, Kiara looked up, seeing the one girl she hated most on the island.

"What is she doing here?"

Both John B and Celeste follow her line of sight to a girl on top of the tower on the beach.

Sarah Cameron.

The girl was Kiara's worst enemy as of a year ago. The Pogues were well aware of it. What most of them weren't aware of however was why. They only knew the odd detail about it until Kiara would abruptly end the conversation. None of them knew anything. Except Celeste of course.

As Kiara's closest friend, she told her everything when their friendship ended. Although Sarah had done nothing to Celeste personally, she held a grudge with her for everything she did to her best friend.

"It's what best friends are for" she always told her, not finding it too hard to understand. It's not only girl code but also friend code.

The blonde girl could never wrap her head around why Sarah would do something like this to Kiara. The girl did nothing wrong. One minute they were attached at the hip and the next, Sarah acted as if Kiara was just a bit of dirt on her shoe. But what else can they expect from a Kook? The Kook Princess at that.

They watched as the girl sat on top of the red tower as Topper, her asshole of a boyfriend, tried to get her down. Her being the attention seeker she was, she was denying his help for a while before getting down with him. Celeste couldn't help but roll her eyes at the sight.
