Pippa Green always knew she was odd. Although she was a kook, she wasn't rude and snobby like the others. She was quite shy and soft spoken. Alttough she was a born kook, she believed she was a pogue, it came to the point where if someone had said to her that she wasn't a pogue, it would make her visibly upset. So everyone just went along with it.
Pippa wouldn't say she hated the kook life, Everyone wants to be a kook. I mean, what's not to like, you're rich?
But one thing pippa believed was that there was nothing more priceless than her friends and family.
Because this is how she thought, she instantly clicked with Kiara carrera.
They haven't been friends too long, but it felt like they had. Even though they were almost opposites. Kiara was fierce and protective and she always stood her ground. Pippa couldn't stand up for herself even if she wanted too.
Everything kiara said, pippa agreed, everything kiara did, pippa did also.
Pippa followed kiara around like a lost puppy. Which is now the reason kiara wants pippa to meet her own friends. She was reluctant but agreed since she couldn't say no to kiara.
As she looked in the mirror at the time kiara was due to pick her up,
she prepared herself. She told herself that they would just let her tag along. She shouldn't really care if they didn't like her. She was only going for kiara. She wasn't going to be hanging out with them if kiara wasn't there. Right?
Beep beep
The sound of her friends car horn pulled her out of her thoughts. She sighed deeply and puffed out her cheeks. Let's get this over with she thought and went to meet kiara.
"Whats got you in a sad mood? Are you nervous?" Kiara asked when she noticed pippa biting her lip. Something kiara noticed she did when she was scared or anxious.
"Maybe a little." Alot she corrected in her head.
"You don't have to be. They are gonna like you. You'll get used to them. I know it's different, and it's something new, but hey, I'm proud of you for going out there and actually trying. It will be worth it. Trust me."
Pippa smiled at this. She always knew how to lighten her mood.
The journey was quicker than pippa hoped it would be.
She slowly hopped out the car and followed kiara as she walked into what she said was called the 'chateau'.
Kiara called out for her friends and soon enough they all came out and greeted her with some sort of hand shake.
"Whats up? Who's this? A new friend" A boy with shaggy blonde hair nodded towards her but not directly addressing her.
"Yeah, this is pippa, she's a family friend. Her mum is friends with my aunt"
Pippa smiled and looked down, and looked up when she felt eyes on her. The blonde haired boy just staring quizzingly at her.
"Pippa, this is John B" a boy with longish brown curly hair smiled at her and waved. "Wassup" she only smiled again.
"This is JJ" so thats the blonde haired boys name. He didn't say much, only nodded his head at her.
This made her uncomfortable.
"And this is pope" The dark boy smiled widely and held it his hand for her to shake. She shook it. "Hey, nice to meet you pippa" she smiled a little more confidently.
"Make yourself at home, wanna beer?" John B asked holding one out to her.
"Oh- um" She looked at kiara for permission. Something she had a habit of doing. She nodded motioning for her to take it. "Sure, thankyou" she got a nod from the boy in answer.
She accepted it and inspected not knowing how to open it.
JJ just looked at her confused. "You know, if your gonna hang with us, you need to be able to open your own drink"
He flicked the top of the beer bottle off.
"JJ!" Kiara scolded.
He just gave her a 'what?' look and handed the bottle to the youngest girl.
Kiara rolled her eyes.
"Thankyou" pippa said quietly and sipped it only to make a disgusted face at the burning drink.
"So pippa, what brings you too outer banks" Pope asked her drinking his own beer.
"Oh well mum and dad just bought a hotel here and now own it. So i help out there alot."
JJ furrowed his eyebrows at her. "Where? Figure 8?" He walked closer to her.
"Um yeah, they are hoping to make it a big business-"
"So your a kook?" JJ interrupted her.
John B rolled his eyes at him. "JJ dont start"
"I think it's really cool" pope nodded and smiled at her.
"JJ can I see you in the kitchen for a second" before John B let his friend answer, he dragged him in his small kitchen by him arm.
"Just ignore JJ, he's just having a bad day" Pope said chucking slightly in hopes of easing her comfort.
"So where are you from?"
"Well I actually travelled from L.A"
After a while, JJ and john B came back and JJ sat on the other side of the room not talking to her at all. But on the other hand, the others seemed to like her.
Over the night the pogues noticed that pippa slightly came out of her shell. She seemed to be a little bit more comfortable around pope and obviously kie.
After kiara took pippa back home she went back to the chateau to help clear up.
"So what do you think of pippa?"
John B nodded his head. "She's alright. Maybe a bit quiet." Kiara silently agreed while putting empty beer cans in the bag.
"Oh and also shes a kook"
Kiara groaned. "Oh my god JJ! You have no problem with me and I'm a kook"
"Thats different and you know it!" JJ argued.
"How? How is she any different"
"We know you! I dont trust her"
"Learn to know her, learn to trust her."
JJ just rolled his eyes and shook his head.
He looked at John B and pope in hopes of backing him up.
"Listen kie, do you really think she will fit in with us? I mean look at us and then look at her. She's so soft spoken and sweet it's sickly."
John B adds in the conversation.
"What? Of course she will. How could you say that? I thought you liked her" Kiara argued. "I do"
"Pope?" She looked at him for answer to back her up. He only shrugged. "I mean he's right, I'm not saying I dont want her to be a part of us. But she isnt anything like us. I mean JJ carries a gun for some reason and I just dont want to scare her off"
Kiara couldn't argue with that. She didn't want to make her friend uncomfortable.
"I do really like her though" Pope adds truthfully.
She just sighed and decided on talking to pippa tomorrow to see if she wanted to come back.
