"ARE YOU READY?" her dad shouted to her, "Leaving in 10," Belle didn't want to go to Midsummers, since she hadn't heard anything from JJ, she was spiraling. Belle slipped into a light blue dress, then she curled her hair and placed a stupid looking flower crown on her head.
"You look beautiful, sweetie." Belle's dad smiled at his daughter, "Thanks," Belle looked around, "Is mom not home?" she questioned. He hesitated, "Uh, she's already at Midsummers." Belle smiled, "Oh, okay."
"Remind me why we're going again," she asked. "People are expecting us to be there, Belle." Her dad replied. "Dad, people not three miles from here have no power, no running water, and we're going to Midsummers. That's so tone-deaf," Belle spoke.
"I know you have friends over on the cut now. But don't let them influence everything you do." he advised. "Whatever," she responded. "Hey, come on, we gotta go." he grabbed his car keys, and the two got into the car.
"Pope!" Belle shouted to her friend, who was catering to the party, "Annabelle, hey!" the boy smiled at her. "You look lovely!" he said, "Why thank you, hey, you haven't heard from JJ have you?" Belle stood in front of Pope. "I haven't, I'm kinda worried..." he replied.
"Yeah, I am too, I went to the station, to post his bail, but his dad got there before I did," she told Pope. "He'll be all right. He's got the survival instincts of a cockroach." Pope added.
"Excuse me, sir. Do we have to shuck these ourselves?" Kie said, in an awful British accent, coming up to the two teens. "Cause it might mess up my costume." she carried on.
"We wouldn't want that now, would we?" Pope laughed. "That accent was bad." Belle joined in with Pope laughing. "It was. I was gonna let it go." Kiara trailed off.
"You ever seen this many Kooks in one place?" Pope said, observing the green. "Yeah. Last year." Belle scoffed. The teens turned to the entrance when they saw Ward and Rose entering,
"Here come Lord Capital and the Exploiters." Kie smiled, sarcastically. "She's gonna poke somebody's eye out with that." Belle laughed at the women's head piece.
"Where's your parents, Annabelle." Kie asked, She looked around, "Um, my dad's there, my mom's there," she pointed to them, they weren't together, which was strange, they were the biggest socialites she knew.
Kie and Annabelle stayed close together, Annabelle was still kinda scared to see Rafe, after his last sudden outburst. "He'll be okay, Annabelle." Kie reassured her friend.
"Shit, is that JJ?" Belle's jaw dropped when she saw the blonde boy walking through the building, she ran up to him. "JJ?" she said and he turned around.
"JJ, did Shoupe do that?" she glided a thumb over the cut on his eye. "Oh, this? No. This is- It's my dad. You know? Has that right jab." the boy laughed. "Can really snap it off at times." he said.
