* Kiara's POV *
         "You cannot start calling Jade kitten." I stated firmly, Kuda had been laying out a plan to get Handel's sister to like him and unfortunately it apparently consisted of giving her a nickname that compared her to a house pet "Why not?" He asked frowning at me "Cuz it's cliché and it doesn't even make any sense, I mean y'all aren't even dating and it's kinda like a girl calling her boyfriend mi gatto." I replied
"That is a totally different scenario, c'mon how many girls call their guys cat, and Why does it matter that we're not dating?" I shrugged at his question
"Cuz es estupido (it's stupid)." I said to him hoping he would see sense
"No no es (no its not)." He retorted stubbornly
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes at him, Kuda never spoke Spanish except he was trying to win an argument, especially with me.
           
       I pulled the plug from the charger of my phone and dialled a number, after the third ring it was answered "Hey Dean, it's Kiara." I said into the mouthpiece
"I kinda figured that out Kiki, how are you? " He asked chuckling slightly
"I'm good, listen I need your help." I said running my fingers through my hair
"Let me guess, Kuda's throwing another party tonight?" He sighed
"Yes, and we need you to come clean the pool in about an hour."
"I'll be there in half."
"Thanks Dean." I hung up and plugged my phone back into the socket and collapsed on the couch next to the wall, about 10 minutes later I trudged into the kitchen to look for something to eat.
            
       The doorbell went off and I went to answer it expecting to see Dean but I met with the three grinning faces of Brooklyn, Tara and Simone, "Who's ready to party?" Tara squealed "You guys apparently." I drawled letting them in "So we need to start setting up, Tara where's the-" I started
"Bread." She said producing four grocery bags from behind her
"Thanks T." I took the bags from her and headed into the kitchen with the girls tailing me "Asha you have to come down now." I yelled hoping she'd hear me "Coming Kiki." She yelled back, soon after I heard footsteps racing down the stairs and a very excited looking Natasha walked into the room
"Okay so first when is the barbecue getting here?" I asked looking at her
"Tony said he'd deliver it by two 'o' clock." She smiled
"Alright, Rookie, pizza and cupcakes, now please."
"Flavours Kiki?" Brooklyn sent an eyebrow in my direction
"7 pepperoni pizzas one vegan, 40 red velvet 40 chocolate and 20 vanilla and ask for cake stands." I answered
"Momo, help Tara make sandwiches, cheese, chicken, ketchup and all the other stuff are in the fridge, I have to set up the speakers." I steered myself out of the kitchen.
        
       After a while the doorbell rang again this time however Dean did step through the door frame "Yay, I was worried." I shut the door behind him and led him behind the house to the pool, not like he needed me there. He finished an hour later just about the same time the barbecue was delivered, Dean filled the pool and left when he was done, the girls and I opened up the packets of grilled chicken and beef and put them on the dining table just as Kuda walked in "Well I see you haven't finished setting up the speakers." He said laughing "Uggh!" I groaned out loud, I headed for the door only for Kuda to pull me back "Don't worry, I already took care of it." He said wrapping his arms around me, "Whatever." I rolled my eyes for maybe the hundredth time that day but I couldn't help smiling at my gargantuan twin.
         
     The cupcakes arrived along with the cupcake stands and we left Kuda to arrange them since we'd done everything else and we decided to shower and get dressed. Tara, Simone and Brooklyn had packed another set of clothes for the party so they ditched their currently sweat soaked clothes and showered one after the other. It was about six 'o' clock by the time we were ready and we had matching outfits with the exception of jewellery; the same maroon crop top, black jeans and maroon wedged sneakers. We helped each other with our hair though that also ended up looking the same.
       
      The girls and I headed down the stairs where the party already seemed to be in full swing, there had to be at least 70 people there already and Kuda was by the speakers with his phone filling in for Simone, she walked over to him and took over so he could leave.

*Brooklyn's POV *
              The boys got there about 30 minutes after we got down and let me tell you the sparks flying between Tara and Ashton were just the same as the ones between Natasha and Michael. Wherever you saw Natasha, Michael was right next to her and wherever Tara was Ashton was right on her tail; it was sickening and cute at the same time. I grabbed one of the many sandwiches on the table and bit into it "Have I ever seen you not stuffing your face?" An annoying voice called from behind me, I turned around to look at the blond string of shit who had spoken "Have I ever seen you not being a dick, and besides you've never seen me eat." I retorted
"It's not very hard to imagine when you look like... that." He shot back
"What are you implying?" My blood was boiling over, was this fool actually calling me fat?
"You look like a walrus." He deadpanned
"Honestly, if you think you look any better, then go check a clear mirror you look like blond shit, correction, you are blond shit." I snarled and walked away.
        
         How dare that low life prick call me fat? I thought to myself, I ran into Kiara and Calum who were laughing at something on his phone, "Kiara do you think I'm fat?" I asked looking at her, she stopped laughing and looked at me, worry covering her face "Who told you that?" Her expression went from worry to anger in the blink of an eye "Don't worry about that, I just need to know if it's true." I replied
"Of course it's not true, Rookie you're perfect and I don't want you cutting down on your food because of this alright?" She warned while enveloping me in a hug, she always made me feel better, it was like a super power of some sort, no matter how bad you feel, no matter how angry you are, no matter how much you want to kill someone Kiara could always calm you down. There was an awkward cough from beside us and Kiara broke the embrace, Calum looked at us with a smile, "Can I steal Kiara for a while?" He looked at me for permission
"Of course, I feel better now, I'll just go hang with Simone, she needs to change the song anyway." I said and left them alone.
      
      Simone's songs were just wack, we had to sieve through until I remembered that Kiara had sent me the playlist though why she didn't send it to Simone  escapes my knowledge.

* Calum's POV *
          When Brooklyn left Kiara and I turned to each other "Would you like to dance Kiara?" I asked looking at her "Yeah sure, just stop calling me Kiara, nobody calls me that unless I'm in trouble, everybody calls me Kiki and Kuda occasionally calls me Kikster." She said looking back at me through her lashes I guess it was because she wasn't comfortable having to throw her head back so high, "Can I call you something else?" I asked and she shrugged in approval "How about Kia?" She smiled at me once I had spoken
"Makes me sound like a car." Her smile became wider when I turned red
"Don't worry I like it." I sighed in relief at her statement as I led her away from the table.
       
        The song went from Hey Mama to Light It Up and it looks like they forgot to add dancing to her list of talents "You're really good." I said and I can almost swear I saw a tint of red on her dark cheeks "Thanks, you're not so bad either." She replied, I sent her a raised eyebrow and she smiled "Okay, you're terrible, but that's only cuz you're thinking too much." She stopped dancing and took my hands, goosebumps broke out on my skin the moment we made contact, she led me in simple steps before letting go, way too soon might I add, "There you go." She beamed at me "Thanks." I said to her my smile mirroring her own.

      We walked over to the dining table in the middle of the kitchen and I grabbed a red velvet cupcake and she took a chocolate one, she took off the wrapper and bit into the cake, what wouldn't I give to be that cupcake right now.

* Tara's POV *
            Ashton and I in amusment watched as Kiara and Calum danced together "Insane levels of chemistry." He said smiling "I totally ship it!" I squealed "Seriously could they hurry up and date already?" He said "Waiting for them is so annoying." He groaned at the scene unfolding before us. We followed them into the kitchen to get drinks "Hey." Kiara said when we came into view "Hi." Ashton and I said simultaneously and immediately went into a fit of laughter.
 
         The party broke up at around 11 'o' clock and the boys left leaving us to clean up the mess.
