Coachella 2012
"Is my flower crown on the right way?" I ask looking in the mirror and trying to find out why the daisies on top of my head looked so odd.
"There's a wrong way?" Justin asks from his place on the couch tying up a pair of red chacos,
"I just think it looks sort of funny?" Then he comes up behind me and fixes the crown, nestling it in my pink locks.
"There. Now you look like a princess"
"you're such a flirt" I tell him with a slap to his chest and he pretends to look winded.
"Are you excited?"
"Touch me and find out" he says lewdly and I push against his chest again with a hearty laugh,
"you are disgusting! I meant about me meeting Kylie!" His face breaks into the biggest grin and without warning he spins me around.
"I'm actually stoked, I really think you'll hit it off like you did with Kendall at the IHeartRadio Awards" it was true, Kylie's older (and much taller) sister, Kendall Jenner had been a blast to hang out with at the award show I'd even hung out with her boyfriend Harry Styles.
"I know how important this is to you" I take both of his hands in mine and he raises each to his lips and gives them a sweet kiss.
"She just... She really means a lot to me" I nod and follow him out of his house and into his Porsche. Justin greets A platinum blonde headed boy and a tawny blonde headed girl who is clinging to his back.
"Hi! I'm Gigi! I heard you on the radio!" She says brightly over the blonde boy's head I smile, people hearing my music on the radio was still pretty surreal.
"Cody Simpson." Says the boy trying to balance the long legged girl on his back.
"You're Rhiannon St. John yeah? Your single is about to go platinum you must be psyched"
"Super psyched" I answer and Cody reaches for my hand so I can I shake it, when I do so I return his lazy smile.
"Looking for Jenner mate?" Cody asks while Gigi clings to him, fixing his beach wave addled hair. They looked like a typical organic brownie munching hippie couple and I totally dug it.
"Yes actually, have you seen her?" Justin answers pulling off his Ray Bans to scan the crowd as if his friend would just show up out of nowhere.
"She was with Kenny and Harry not to long ago in your tent" Justin nods in understanding and then grabs my hand, pulling me eagerly in the direction of the luxury tent he'd rented for the weekend.
"It was nice to meet you guys!" I call over my shoulder and the blonde couple throws me docile peace signs.
"Leave it to the Jenner's to make themselves at home in someone else's tent" Justin says dryly as we walk into the tent. The ceilings are high and the floor, where gravel and dirt should be is covered by a wood overlay that's layered with Persian rugs.
"It isn't our fault!" Kendall says getting up and fixing her crop top before walking over to hug the both of us,
"so good to see you again girl!" She tells me and I hug back tightly.
"Ken is right, our tent was so freaking small! How is this at all fair?" Kylie asks in rhetoric before following the lead of her sister and getting up as well.
"Well... I'm Justin Bieber" Justin says teasingly pulling her in for a big hug and she returns it with a kiss to his cheek and a ruffle of his long brown hair.
"And this is Rhiannon" Kylie gives me a super obvious once over before and something shimmers in her brown eyes.
"Justin has told me so much about you, literally drives me crazy. If you two weren't best friends I'd probably be worried" Justin and Kendall laugh but Kylie is still giving me the once over making for an awkward silence.
"Why don't we all sit?" Kendall's suggests and she takes my hand and leads me to one of the plush lounge couches that furnishes the tent.
"King, I told Rhiannon about your hair extension line she was super into it" Justin says before reaching for a still bubbling hookah pipe that Kylie and Kendall must've been puffing on beforehand.
"Ugh Justin don't smoke that Harry mixed pineapple with grape and its gross" Kendall warns but my boyfriend the daredevil take a hit anyway.
"Wait..." He blows out a puff of vapor and then takes another hit.
"I like it" he says decidedly and I roll my eyes when he tries to get me to puff on it.
"Why did you call her King?" I question and for some reason Kylie looks irritated with the current situation.
"Sounds more powerful than Queen doesn't it? Plus, it starts with a 'K' and we're all about that." Kendall offers me a Mike's Hard Lemonade and I take it anxiously. Maybe it would ease the bundle of nerves that had begun to nestle in the pit of my stomach.
I study Kylie Jenner over the nose of my bottle. Her hair is cut into a short choppy bob, the ends dipped in a brilliant teal. Her neck is decorated with a choker and several dangling necklaces and her outfit is an old band tee with ripped shorts. She eyes Kendall's beverage and her eyes light up,
"I don't think so squirt." Kendall trades and Justin starts to laugh and in order to avoid feeling left out and awkward I laugh too. Kylie shoots me a look and I can tell that it's going to be a long ass weekend.
