BRIELLE GLANCED AT THE CLOCK ON HER PHONE. The party was starting in an hour, and JJ wasn't there yet. She had told him to come early so she could get him ready. Sure, he wouldn't take as long as she had since it's just get changed and fix his hair, but still.

She was fully dressed, in full glam makeup to try to appease her mother. The downstairs of the house had people walking around, some coming to help set up, others there because they were working the party.

There was a knock on her door, and she rushed off of her bed. She opened the door to see JJ, a small bruised under his eye and another near his mouth, but he was smiling.

"Sorry I was late, got a little caught up," he said, walking inside of her room and towards his clothes hanging on her closet door. He paused and turned to face her, a small smile on his face that she couldn't see. "By the way, you look great."

She stood in the doorway, staring at the hall across from her room. She didn't have any words to say, totally spaced out from the compliment and only focused on the bruises on his face.

When she finally turned around, he was taking his outfit off the closet door. He turned to face her, putting on another smile as they made eye contact.

"Are you okay?" she asked quietly.

With an overconfident smile, JJ said, "Nothing I can't handle."

She merely nodded, but didn't believe him. She posted at the bathroom door, telling him he can go change in there. When he went inside, she collapsed against the wall, feeling heavy. After a few moments, she went and sat down on her bed, checking her phone while she waited for JJ to get dressed.

She opened snaps from Sarah and the other Kooks, who were sending their streaks of their outfits, each with their own variation of, "Going to the Macatangay's party."

The door to her bathroom opened up, JJ standing there with his collars turned up and the bowtie in his hands, walking towards her with a sheepish smile. She laughed, standing up when he got in front of her. She took the bowtie from his hands, adding the finishing touches on his outfit.

"There we go," she said softly, fixing his collar and flattening the fabric against his shoulders. "You look good. You clean up well."

"No, you clean me up well," he responded.

"Smooth," she chuckled. She pointed to her bed, stating, "Sit."

The blonde sat down, and she stood between his legs. She started to fluff up his hair, trying to style it without any styling products.

JJ sat there still, wondering how they possibly managed to get to the place they were at. Just two days ago, they were irritating each other at the Chateau. Earlier that week they were getting on one another's nerves at a Boneyard party or exchanging awkward conversations while surfing. He could already imagine the faces on John B and Pope when he told them about it the next day, or the one on Kiara's when she saw him later at the party.

Brielle walked through the varieties of food, JJ behind her as they picked food and placed them onto their plates. Both of them kept looking around, wondering where Kiara was. They both had already eaten real food, getting hungry and Yaya Dettie agreeing to let them sneak a plate before the guests arrived, secretly sharing it in her bedroom. Now, they were exploring the wonderous dessert table.

"What's that?" JJ asked, watching her put something with green squares and a white-green creamy sauce with it onto her plate.

"Ah," she said, motioning for him to open his mouth. When he did, she placed a spoonful of it into his mouth.

He tasted it, a chewy, sweet dessert. He smiled at the taste, loving whatever it was.

"What is it?" he asked her as he slapped some onto his own plate.

"Buko pandan," she said. "Coconut milk, gelatin, tapioca pearls, we also have this one..." She said as they stepped forward. "Basically the same thing, but with fruits."

He nodded, plopping down a spoonful of it, too.

Brielle smiled, watching as he asked what any dessert he didn't know was. He was able to recognize a few from Mac's Kusina, like when they got to halo halo filling, opening a cooler to get the ice cream to top it with.

They stood together to the side of the guests, watching as her house filled up with Kooks.

"What the hell?" a voice laughed out behind them, and she turned to see Kiara.

She had a smile on her face, but it was more of a smirk. Her arms with crossed, and she was blinking rapidly, like she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Okay, since when was this... what?" she asked, exasperated.

"Mowed her lawn, now we're best friends," JJ said nonchalantly, shrugging.

"Yeah, I'm sure that's the whole story," Kiara replied, not believing them. "Does John B and Pope even know you're here?"

"John B's spending time with Big John, so I haven't seen him, and Pope was studying for... something, I dunno."

"It's summer," Brielle chimed in, turning her head to the side in confusion.

The two Pogues in front of her laughed.

"Yeah, Pope is like that," Kiara nodded.

The Carrera girl was sure she was going out of her mind, watching JJ Maybank and Brielle Macatangay hang out like it was normal. Instead, she kept her suspicious thoughts to herself, deciding that if they decided to bury the hatchet, it was best to leave it buried.

"Kiara! Come over here, say hi to some people!" Anna Carrera called to her daughter.

"I'll be back," Kiara excused herself.

Brielle watched as adults started to dance on their back lawn, slow music playing. As she and JJ finished their plates, she took his from him, dropping it into a nearby trashcan. Without another word, she grabbed JJ's wrist, pulling him over to the lawn.

"I don't dance, Kookie," he said, trying to pull away from her grip, but she held it firmly.

"C'mon, humor me, Maybank," she smiled, pulling him hard towards her.

He stopped himself right in front of her in time to not bulldoze her over. She intertwined her right hand with his, her left going behind his back. JJ chuckled at their form, but decided to let her take the lead as they danced. He felt awkward, seeing all the Kooks who were staring at them.

Rose Cameron, standing with Wheezie and Sarah, looked at them.

"See, Sarah, your sister wasn't lying," Rose said to her stepdaughter.

Sarah stared with slow blinks of her eyelids, watching you dance with JJ. When Wheezie told her that she saw JJ come to the Figure Eight with Brielle, Sarah had told her he was probably doing some work on the island. Wheezie, however, spun it into a story that it wasn't, saying that maybe Brielle was dating him. She had remembered hearing Topper and Rafe talking about how a Pogue would take Brielle away from Kelce.

"They're friends," Sarah shrugged, but she knew that Brielle and JJ couldn't stand each other. "I wouldn't spread rumors, Wheezie."

Standing nearby was a bickering Macatangay couple, easily able to conceal it with smiles at their guests as they walked by.

"Look at the people who are glaring at our daughter right now," Danielle whispered to her husband.

"Nobody is glaring at Brie," Kent rolled his eyes. "What happened to the whole 'Be friends with whoever you want, Anak, it's your choice, Anak' talk?"

"I was fine with her hanging out with them, but now you both want to mix Pogues and Kooks?" Danielle asked him.

Kent didn't respond for a second. Instead, he watched as JJ got more comfortable with dancing, twirling Brielle out before twirling her back towards him. He watched his daughter erupt with a bright laughter, her face practically red with life.

"I want my daughter to be happy, I want her to walk around her house looking alive," he said softly.

Danielle huffed, walking away to spend more time with her cousin, Dario.

Three boys walked in, instantly letting their eyes narrow on the two teenagers among the adults dancing. Rafe grabbed Kelce, pulling him by his shoulder close to him. A drink in his other hand, he extended his pinky off the cup to point over.

"You see what I'm talking about? A dirty Pogue with his hands all over your girl," Rafe said, poking Kelce in the chest.

"She's not my girl," Kelce shook his head.

"Yeah, because you let a Pogue move in on her," Topper instigated.

"I say we show that Pogue he shouldn't mess with people on the Figure Eight," Rafe said, devious smiles on his and Topper's faces.
