Barefoot Bluejean Night
Life is all about taking chances, even if the ending results in consequences.
Summer is the time to enjoy life- the simplicity of things. It doesn't matter what's new, who has what, or what is doing down. Here in Gardenia, it is about swaying to the fireworks, dancing to Miley Cyrus's biggest hit, Hoedown Throwdown, enhaling as much fresh air and having a kick ass summer.
Musa cheered right along with her other five friends, school was officially out and they only had one year left til they were the ones throwing their hats up into the gymnasium cieling.
It was always a great feeling knowing summer had officially arrived. The way the sun was heavily heated, blazing down on your backs.
"Time for some change." Musa stepped outside, taking in the breeze of fresh air.
This summer was going to be the summer, the summer that would change their lives forever.

"Summer love is in the air. Are you ready for that summer love?" Layla mocked the sales lady from the mall right after they exited the doors to PacSun. That girl, needed some serious help. She was all giggly and must have had a thing about summer love.
"Stop you guys, I think summer love is so romantic." Bloom gushed, her eyes practically gleaming with hearts. It was always easy to say that when you had a loving and overly clingy boyfriend, not that Bloom would ever admit that.
"Yeah real awesome when you have a summer lover boy." Musa rolled her eyes and headed towards the food court.
Out of everyone, Musa had her head straight on her shoulders and refused to fall in love. She was more stubborn than the subject itself. She had turned down dozens and dozens of guys.
"No kidding, the closest thing I have to that is Johnny Depp and a movie collection of pirate ships." Techna said sternly, it was true, she had the biggest thing for Johnny Depp, but could you blame the girl? He was gorgeous.
Bloom frowned, "it's true actually, you guys don't have that. I guess i've never really sat down and thought about that before."
Stella was on Facebook, creeping everyone's statuses and miscelaneous things. "Guys are overrated, just stick to hooking up, like me."
"Oh yeah guys totally do that, as if. Look where this has gotten you." Musa joked around, punching her friend in the arm. She didn't care to much for guys actually, they had the same excuses for absolutely everything.
The girls giggled and headed to get some food. Little did they know, this summer was going to change their lives.
.::.
Musa arrived home, yawning and headed outback to find her father; he was most likely cooking out, making some burgers.
She hadn't been paying much attention and if she would have, she might have heard all the commotion out back. She walked outback, her flip flops hitting her heels. She was typing away on phone, not even realizing her back yard contained five guys along with her dad and the Harrington's.
Musa looked up, standing in shock as to who was standing in front of her.
"It's about time you got home, i've been waiting for over an hour. Geesh, what were you thinking." A deep voice spoke up, and Musa couldn't hide the smile that formed on her face.
Standing in front of her was her long time bestfriend, Riven Harrington. He had left for college over a year ago and she hadn't talked to him much. Over spring break when he came home in attempt to catch up with her, she was occupying with her friends at Stella's lake house for the week.
"Hey you." Musa smiled and walked over, wrapping her arms around her bestfriend. She took a wiff of his cologne, Drakar Noir. She knew what he wore just by the smell.
Riven gladly hugged back, he wasn't to emotional when it came to girls, but Musa was an exception. She was his bestfriend afterall.
"So how have you been?" Riven asked, breaking the silence.
Musa nodded her head, "I'm doing good. Yourself? Wow you're going to be a sophmore in college already, geez. You're so old, I don't think you even know what the word fun is anymore."
"That's it. You're gonna get it." Riven laughed and began to tickle Musa, making her gasp for air because she was laughing so hard. Her breathes became shallower and shallower until he stopped, releasing her from his grasp.
Everyone was looking at the two; Riven than realized his friends were there.
"Hey Musa, I want you to meet some of my friends that i've made. They are staying here this summer, over in the guest house." Riven spoke up, finally introducing his friends.
Musa nodded her head, checking out each of the guys.
"This right here is Sky," Riven pointed to the blonde who looked rather gentelmen-like, "This guy right here, yeah if you got a technology problem come to him, he is Timmy" Musa nodded her head, keeping that in mind; he did look sort of geeky.
"This is my hitman, Brandon, we go looking for chicks, but there is a difference between us. He's a player and I'm not." Riven joked, and continued on down the line of his friends. "Right here is Nabu, he's indian, as if you could tell."
"Over here is Helia, he has a knack for survival, plants, outdoors, anything that sort of nature." Musa nodded her head, keeping in mind that he would be almost perfect for Flora.
"Guys this is Musa, my long time shitty bestfriend who can't come home on spring break when I do." Riven grinned, only joking around though. He wrapped his arms around Musa and pulled her close to him.
They had been bestfriends for a long time now, he had been there for her, for everything.
"Hey, so you're the infamous Musa." Sky chimed.
"Hiya, by the way, Riven is the total player. Last week we went to a party and there was a blonde girl there and-" Riven cut Brandon off, his parents nor Musa needed to know anything else.
"Moving on." Riven grumbled.
"Hello there. Nice to meet you." Timmy smiled to the girl. His face reddened slightly, he never really talked to girls.
Helia smiled genuinely, "Hi."
And last but not least, Nabu nodded his head and formally greeted a girl just like his parents had raised him. He took and shook her hand, "hi i'm Nabu." Musa gladly shook his hand back.
...
"Thanks, this was great." Riven and his friends said their gratitude towards Musa's father. "Come over to the guest house with us?" Riven asked, already grabbing Musa's fragile arm and tugged her towards the house.
Riven's friends were all pretty good looking Musa at least thought. Brandon was especially attractive; he had bright green eyes and his mass of shaggy brown hair fell perfectly in place. She kept taking tiny glances at him, just wait til she told Stella.
"Hey you guys, I'm gonna come inside in a few minutes alright." Riven called out to his friends. He would give them sometime to get settled in and time to unpack even more. Afterall he did want to spend some alone time with Musa, he hadn't seen her in freaking forever.
"So, how is life? You need to fill me in. Gosh." Riven talked as if he was missing the 411.
Musa giggled and sat in the grass, staring up at the sunset.
"Well i'm ready to be a senior, I figured out that I do like peanuts, and I want to go to the zoo to see the tickelish penguin." Musa noted that there was a zoo that had a tickeling penguin, it was just like her.
Riven grinned, same old Musa.
"Same, i'm playing the single field for awhile, see where it takes me." Riven said softly, it was true ever since he and Darcy broke up a few months ago, he hadn't been looking for a relationship. It had taken him more than enough time to get over it, but sadly he wasn't fully over it yet.
Musa smiled, "if it makes you feel any better, I never liked her."
Riven cocked his head back, "I know. I pick up on things you know."
"Whatever."
Riven smiled and decided to lay down in the grass. He picked up on a lot of things, he knew Musa was never a fan of Darcy. He knew his bestfriend, he knew her a lot more than she gave him credit for.
"So uhh, any summer lovers?" Riven grinned, winking at Musa. He knew Musa was to stubborn for love. He knew she was to stubborn for a commited relationship, she just wasn't interested.
Musa sighed and groaned, why did this subject keep reappearing? She was already sick of hearing about it and summer was just beginning.
"I take that as a no. Shocker there." Riven half heartedly laughed.
Musa on the other hand was far from smiles, "What does that mean?"
Riven looked over to find Musa sending him daggers. Thank goodness looks couldn't kill. "Well you know its just you know, uhh-" Riven was trying to think of the right words so he didn't sound like a complete ass.
"You just don't date, because well you just don't." Riven spoke softly, he knew Musa way to well.
Musa crossed her arms over her chest and let out a deep breathe. It wasn't til than she had a wide smile on her face and a great idea in mind.
"You know what Harrington, lets make a bet." Musa grinned.
"And what that might be?" Riven questioned out of curiousity.
"I will find a summer love before you leave to go back for college. But you can't hook up with any girls. The first one to break the bet, does whatever the other person wants them to do the day the first one loses." Musa giggled out loud.
Riven nodded his head, considering the bet. "Fine but your summer love has to be real though. I know when you lie Musa."
Musa nodded her head in agreement. "You're on." Musa shook hands with Riven, concealing the bet to make it official before she sauntered off back to her house. She left Riven to sit outside to think.
The bet sure was going to be something, but Musa falling in love, it almost made him sick thinking about it. He didn't think he could handle her saying 'I love you' to any other guy.
This summer sure was going to be the test of an ultimate friendship...

So how was this? I want to thank you to everyone who has supported me in all of my other stories, I hope you do the same for this one. There is a lot more to come than this. I promise.
This probably sucks, I had a random spur of the moment and wasn't quite for sure where i'm going with this.. we will see though. I'm rocking out to country as we speak. I do not own The Winx Club.. I wish though.
Review porfavor, opinions are much needed and always welcomed :)
