Pool Party:
Kick and Gunther were lucky to pass their finals thanks to Kendall and Jackie. They worked all that week turning in the projects, assignments, extra credit work they needed to, while also being able to study for their finals. Their moms were happy to hear they passed, and the boys were glad that the semester was finally over. Kendall still had some student council work given that the winter formal was coming, which would be held on New Year's Eve like every year. She had to finalize some paperwork for them before they went on winter break.
Everyone, though was happy when the weekend hit, because that meant one thing. Party time. And Kick and Gunther were excited to finally party, relax and have some fun. The boys put Mouth in charge of the music, lightening, and overall electronics for the party knowing he know what to do. With The party being a long lasting party, it was sure to be fun, with the neon lights, pool, multiple Jacuzzis, snacks and places for people to sleep if they chose to stay since it was going to last to the late morn the next day. It started a bit past 7:30 at night, not that some didn't arrive earlier, Kick and the others being amongst those who did, the music booming, with the lights flashing about, including in the pool at times. Everything was ready.

"This is going to be so much fun!" Scarlet was excited as she was done changing in her red and black checkered bikini top and red short, short bathing suit bottoms. Teena had a different neon pink bikini on this time, this one had neon orange blossom petals on the top, and the bottoms had a bundle of blossoms on the left side.
"I think the boys put a lot of work into this in such a short time." Loraina commented as she and Nicolette shared a locker, placing their stuff in it. Loraina tying the knot to her ruffled edged, sage v- neck bikini top, and making sure her bottoms were just as secure. Nicolette on the other hand was tying her peach bottoms, since her sweetheart neck-lined haltered bikini top was already tied. She glanced at Teena.
"Oh you know they did." She mentioned. "Plus with the fact they held it here, is a huge bonus."
"Well you know my brother and Gunther." Brianna shrugged as she placed a hand on her hip, her pinkish, purplish bikini already on, the top twisting in the middle, and not needing to be tied as it hooked in the back with the straps. The bottoms, being a bit a high on the waist as the strap naturally buttoned up into a bow. "They have to go big or go home." She laughed a bit.
"I think this might be one of the best parties they have ever thrown." Jackie came in, her bikini had an interesting design this time. It was a pretty mix of a royal and light powder blue design. The top fabric going to her ribcage, but showing off a bit, as strings connected the fabric in-between her breasts, her cleavage showing. It could be considered a tankini, however her stomach was still shown, plus, her back was as well. The straps that hooked up and crisscrossed in the back helped with keeping her in place as they only crossed over her shoulder blades, which is how her entire back showed. The bottoms, were simple and just slipped on, but had little straps on the sides.
"Ooo, girl, where'd you get that bikini?" Nicolette admired as she glanced at Jackie's swim suit.
"Tell me about it, I don't think I have ever seen anything like that at the boutiques." Teena had hearts and stars in her eyes.
"Kendall made it." She pointed behind her at her friend. The girls glanced.
"GIRL!" Loraina and Nicolette exclaimed, as they saw Kendall ruffling through her bag, still in her clothes.
"I knew you designed, but this is amazing!" Teena was amazed.
"Yeah seriously, make me something." Brianna bounced. Kendall gulped.
"Uhhhh…." She became sheepish. "This was…well I mean…" She glanced away.
"Guys, maybe not crowd so much." Scarlet advised. The others backed up.
"Although seriously, I think you might have a career in this." Teena glanced at Jackie's bikini. "Like that is outstanding." She complimented. "You can set trends." Kendall blushed.
"It's really…I mean it wasn't anything…" She spoke. "We couldn't find anything the other day…and well I had spare fabric from her dress, so…" She rubbed her arm.
"Yeah, but that's pretty amazing to make that so quickly." Brianna mentioned. "You're really something Kends." Kendall's face grew redder.
"Tha….thanks…" She had a small smile.
"Hey we should get out there, I'm sure the boys are wondering where we're at." Loraina brought up.
"You're probably right." Teena laughed.
"Knowing my brother, I can imagine the jokes now, especially with how long we've been already." Brianna let out an annoyed sigh, rolling her eyes.
"Hurry up Kends, get your bikini on." Nicolette said. Kendall grew more embarrassed.
"Uh…" She kept looking through her bag. "I um…I think I …may have forgotten…it…" Jackie glanced at her, knowingly.
"You guys go ahead, we'll catch up." Jackie told them.
"You sure?" Brianna asked. Jackie nodded.
"Don't worry, if anything we can just go grab one real fast." Jackie made up for Kendall, who was looking down.
"Okay." Teena said, as Nicolette and Loraina left. Scarlet and Brianna glancing at each other. "We'll see you out there." Jackie just nodded at the statement, assuring them again. Brianna just let out a small sigh, looking at Scarlet and Teena before they too left the girl's locker room. Kendall let out a sigh.
"Forgot it?" Jackie looked at her. Kendall swallowed.
"Okay, so I am completely embarrassed with going out there." Kendall told her. "Can you blame me?" She got up, her face feeling like it was on fire. "My outfit is as bad as yours, I will die if Kick sees me in something like that. I cannot go out there in the outfit I made, I will die Jackie." She was freaking out. Jackie folded her arms.
"You're being dramatic again." She stated. "It is not the end of the world and I'm quite positive it will not be that bad." She added. "Besides if you haven't realized, we're all wearing swimsuits, soo…" Jackie brought up.
"I know, which Kick will be shirtless, that will be even more embarrassing, do you know what that will do to me?" Kendall realized. "And you expect me to wear this, he's going to be shirtless, there's going to be dancing, who knows what kind of music, and I'm supposed to wear this?!" She was losing it, pointing outside, at imaginary objects where she assumed the music was, Kick was, and then at her bag. "I can't do this. I can't. I…I…I need to go…I….I should have never came…this was a bad idea…I ….I…" She panicked, trying to swallow and breathe, but finding it hard to do. Jackie grabbed her.
"Kendall." Jackie looked at her. "Breathe." She told her. "Just breathe." She tried to calm her. Kendall tried to breathe, her breathing slowing again. As the two kneeled. "What did you use to tell me when I freaked about Gunther?" Jackie asked. Kendall calming down, and swallowing.
"I…I use to tell you that…you just need to be confident." She responded. She breathed again. "That, you gave yourself to little credit, and Gunther…." She breathed again. "He…you just need to try because any effort is what counts, even if the other person may not feel the same way." Kendall said. "Just…just don't give up."
"Right." Jackie nodded, letting her go. "I was never confident for many reasons, and still…well, it's the point you told me to never give up. To at least try and be confident." She continued. "So what do you need to do?" She questioned. Kendall looked down.
"But this…this is so…different…" Kendall held herself. "You at least had a chance with Gunther." She reasoned. "You guys…have similar interests and more." She commented. "I…I don't….don't have that, with him in the least…" She glanced away. "I mean he's into dangerous stunts and risking his life for that, I'm into school." She mentioned. "Plus, let's face it, I will never be his type…" She added. "Not like…" She didn't want to bring up who she was thinking of. Jackie let out a breath.
"You think I didn't think the same thing?" Jackie inquired. Kendall looked at her. 'And sometimes…' Jackie shook the thought from her head. "It's the point you have to try." She tried to encourage. Kendall wanted to say something but just kept silent and looked away. Jackie looked toward the doorway, hearing the pounding from the music, letting out another breath. She glanced back at Kendall. "We all want you to be here you know." Kendall glanced back at her. "We want you to have fun." She added, getting up, heading to the door. "But if you want to go home whether it's to find another suit or…" She glanced down. "You know, I understand." She informed, grabbing her small blue wrap that matched her suit, but was lighter in shade, tying it around her hips, the wrap barely going to her mid-thighs. "I'll cover for you." She had a small smile. Kendall was slightly shocked by that, as she wasn't expecting Jackie to say that. "Anyway, if you choose to come back, you know we'll love it and have fun." Jackie told her walking out.
Kendall glanced down, her heart racing. 'I…I just…' She glanced back at her bag, getting up and going to it. 'It's really embarrassing…' She thought. 'It…it might be better that…I leave anyway.' She breathed out. She headed to the door, peering out so no one could see her. 'Highly doubt…he'll really notice given the size of this party…plus with all his fans…' She commented in her thoughts. 'Besides he'll be plenty preoccupied…right…and I mean…I'm…I'm just Kendall to him…' She continued to think. 'He'll have more fun like he did at the luau with the others…yeah…he….he won't…he won't notice…' She glanced out a bit more, something catching her eye and ears, surprisingly.

The girls walked out, Kick and Gunther noticing. Loraina and Nicolette instantly taking the twins to go dance. The music loud and booming, as Mouth had the bass speakers blasting, and the lights going in various ways so it felt like a party. When Brianna, Scarlet and Teena came to them, Kick and Gunther glanced around.
"They're still changing." Brianna answered.
"And here we thought it be you guys doing that." Kick joked.
"Oh ha ha ha." Brianna folded her arms. "So funny brother dear." She shook her head. Gunther laughed.
"Well you guys do tend to take a long time." Gunther mentioned.
"Oh please." Teena rolled her eyes. "Like you boys don't take a long time with your own shit." She gave him a look. Scarlet giggled.
"No we don't." Gunther argued.
"Sure." Teena teased. Gunther grunted. Brianna releasing a breath as she glanced at Mouth as he was on his stage near some speakers, the karaoke mics and other stuff, and on his system. She quirked an eyebrow. Kick laughed at her.
"He's having too much up there, especially with the music choices." Brianna tapped her fingers on her arms, as she listened to some of the lyrics of the current song.
"Oh lighten up, everyone listens to music like this. Especially the non-clean version." Kick rolled his eyes. She gave him a look. Scarlet and Teena giggling.
"Kick has a point." Teena admitted. "It's the in thing." She mentioned. "Plus sex songs are the in thing."
"You boys just better keep your minds clean for your sister sake, given how that dance competition went." Scarlet gave a sly look towards Kick, who gulped. She snickered.
"I will beat you both if I have to." Brianna reminded. Both boys glanced.
"Can you not." They told her.
"Jeez, we can control ourselves." Kick stated.
"Have been for a while now." Gunther confessed. Brianna quirked an eyebrow, even Teena and Scarlet glanced.
"Give them this night to have some fun Bri." Teena breathed with a slight smirk. Brianna looked at her.
"She might have a point, besides, with this music and what we know, they need a free be." Scarlet winked, walking away giggling to get something to drink. Teena shrugged then followed Scarlet.
"What are they talking about?" Kick asked. Brianna shrugged.
"But they might be right, just keep some sanity will ya." She told them.
"And why wouldn't we keep our sanity?" Gunther questioned. Brianna smirked.
"Turn around Gunther." She said. He and Kick both looked, Gunther immediately becoming shocked and gulping.
"Oh fuck…" He whispered. Brianna snickered.
"Keep it under control, seriously." She reminded.
"Brianna, what the hell is Kendall wearing?" Kick glanced. She kept her sly smug demeanor. "Brianna." He repeated. She just shrugged.
"Not sure, she wasn't changed when I left." She looked at him. She walked by him. "Good luck." She snickered as she went to go get something to drink. Gunther and Kick noticing Teena, Scarlet and her laughing at them. 'They mind blocked me, purposely…' He shared with Gunther. Gunther gulped again. 'Great…I swear…' Gunther replied trying to breathe. 'Good luck indeed.' Kick agreed, not wanting to think of the possibilities. Gunther shook his head. Jackie came up to them.
"Hey." She smiled.
"Hey Jackie. Where's Kendall?" Kick wondered, as he glanced. While Gunther was trying to keep calm and control himself when she was by him. He bit the inside of his cheek.
"Oh…well she um…she forgot her swimsuit so she said she'll quickly go get it." Jackie lied, covering for her. "She'll be out soon…" She tried to keep a small smile. Brianna glanced over, hearing that. Kick couldn't help feeling a bit relieved hearing the word swimsuit. Scarlet noticed that, folding her arms, and staring at him from where she and the other two were. 'Really, like you're not disappointed.' She aimed at him, knowing he heard her thought. He bit the inside of his cheek, sending a sharp look towards them. 'Shut it, I'm trying to stay in more control then Gunther is.' He retorted in his thoughts. 'I heard that…you shared that with more than just her.' Gunther shot, giving him a look. 'And thanks, like I'm not already having a hard time, I hope she comes back in something just as…' Gunther countered. 'Hey, okay I get it, sorry.' Kick interrupted. The girls laughing at them.
"Oh this is going to be a fun night." Teena whispered, loud enough so only the girls could hear, but Kick and Gunther understood enough.
"Definitely." Scarlet agreed, before something caught her eye. "Brianna." She alerted. Brianna glanced, glaring. Kick and Gunther getting alerted as soon as she did.
"I don't recall inviting you two." Kick spoke. Jackie turned, Gunther getting in front of her, Brianna, Scarlet, Teena coming forth, Teena, taking Jackie away a bit, but she stayed in ear shot. It relieved Gunther.
"You invited the whole school, plus some, kind of thought that meant everyone." Ronaldo commented. Scarlet narrowed her eyes.
"Hardly." She stated. "Do you see any of your friends here?"
"Gordie would have came, but he's planning his own thing tomorrow with the Dipazzi twins and some other, elites." Ronaldo explained. Teena folded her arms. Debbie glanced away, then let out a sigh.
"We brought snacks…as a type of…truce…or peace offering…" Debbie offered as she had a tray and bag in hand. "Not that you have to like or use them." She added. "But we brought them." She looked away again. Brianna just stared. Scarlet was about to say something, but Brianna held up her hand. Scarlet looked at her.
"Answer this, honestly." Brianna stared at them. "Why'd you come?" Kick knew what she was getting at. Debbie glanced at Ronaldo, walking over to the snack table to place the tray on it and the other stuff they brought. She gave a small look towards Jackie, which Teena noticed, which caused her to glare more at Debbie.
"We came to see the party, is that so wrong?" He asked. "We know the others weren't going to come for a few reasons." He informed.
"That's because they're smart and knew they weren't invited." Kick brought up.
"Not quite…" Ronaldo countered glancing away. Brianna kept her stare, Scarlet and Teena not liking where this was going.
"Meaning?" Gunther inquired.
"They would have came," Ronaldo replied. "It's just they had some business, you can say that prevented them, and a few other personal reasons preventing them from doing so." He told them. Kick and Gunther glared.
"So you came?" Brianna concluded. Ronaldo side glanced and saw Jackie, then let out a breath, Gunther narrowed his eyes more.
"Just to enjoy the party." He reiterated.
"Really?" Kick wasn't buying it. Not one bit. "And what if I don't want you here?" He folded his arms.
"Understandable." Ronaldo commented. "Although…" He began. "I would like to hear that from her." He admitted. Jackie glanced.
"You ass, haven't you done enough?" She questioned, being stopped by Teena from moving. They glanced at her. Kick let out a breath, knowing this wasn't going well.
"Where is she, if she's says that, then I'll leave." Ronaldo stated. Jackie tightened her fists.
"It's not her party, it's mine, and I control this." Kick warned.
"Yeah but didn't you make it for her?" Ronaldo inquired. Kick and Brianna glared. 'Kick…I think.' Brianna thought. 'Yeah I know…He's not getting near her.' Kick replied in his thoughts.
"Even if I did make it for her, that's still none of your concern." Kick told him. "You're not seeing her and you're leaving." He declared.
"And here I thought with all this new built confidence she had, we get to see her." Debbie breathed. "Guess we were wrong." Debbie started to head to the door. "Ronaldo." Debbie called. Brianna glared as she saw Debbie whisper something in his ear. He glanced back, then at Debbie again, who just shrugged. "It's the only logical place." She added. He nodded.
"I see…" He agreed. "And you're sure?" He questioned.
"She obviously isn't here." Debbie glanced away, beginning to walk away again. Brianna eyes widened when she heard that.
"If you say so…" Ronaldo let out a sigh.
(*)
Kendall saw Ronaldo and Debbie. 'What…What's he doing here?' She tried to hear what they we're talking about. 'Party huh…' She was doubtful. She shook her head. She glanced back at her bag. 'I shouldn't….this….this is really stupid….But…' She glanced back out. 'Maybe Jackie was right…I need to gain some confidence…and…I…think I…maybe I know how…' She let out breath, swallowing. 'Might as well die fully of embarrassment right?' She went to go quickly change, letting out another breath when she saw herself in the mirror.
She had her light pink wrap tied around her hips, luckily, to help out just a bit, not that she still didn't feel completely exposed in this tankini that tied in the front, straps crisscrossed in the back along her shoulder blades, it was really low cut, showed her cleavage, had shimmering fabric on the sides that only covered the ribcage, loosely, her stomach, and back were exposed. The bottoms, like Jackie's slipped on, and had two straps on them. The color of hers, like her wrap was a light pink, almost white pastel pink. She really did feel embarrassed wearing it, but it also showed off her curves really well.
She snuck out of the girls' locker room since her friends were preoccupied at the moment with Ronaldo and Debbie, and everyone else was either dancing, in the pool or Jacuzzi. She found it interesting how the karaoke worked, people weren't bad, and people would still dance to those who were singing. She made her way behind Mouth's stage, sneaking her way up to him.
"Mouth…" She tapped his shoulder. He glanced behind him, a bit surprised, but she used her finger to ask him to come close. He did. She whispered in his ear. He glanced at her when she was done. "Can you help?" She questioned. He gave her a sly look.
"Oh yeah." He gave her what she needed. "Good luck." He winked. She let out a breath. "Also nice swimsuit." She swallowed and blushed.
"Thanks." He chuckled. She let out another breath. Before going to the stage. Mouth finished the last song then started playing the one she requested. "Are you ready…" She began. "It's time for me to take it I'm the boss right now, not gonna fake it, now when you go down, Cause this is my game and you better come to play." She sang. Which once that started, Jackie immediately knew it was her voice and glanced.
"Kends." She whispered, Teena hearing Jackie say that glanced and couldn't believe she was on stage, singing and wearing something quite similar to Jackie's swimsuit. The others looking as well, Ronaldo, Brianna, and Kick's jaws practically dropping. Debbie giving a look to Ronaldo.
"I used to hold my freak back, now I'm letting go, make my own choice, bitch I run this show. So leave the lights on. No you can't make me behave." She continued to sing, having fun with the song. "So you say I'm complicated. That I must be out my mind. But you have me underrated…" She enjoyed getting everyone to dance and snap to the song.
Brianna glanced at her shocked brother, as she finally was getting out of her astonishment. 'Kick, you good?' She questioned in her thoughts. 'What the hell do you think?' He could barely swallow. 'Maybe you do need to beat the hell out of me.' He admitted. She snickered, shaking her head. 'Well she sure made an entrance that's for sure.' Brianna commented. 'Entrance? Fucking everyone has their eyes glued to her for reasons I'm sure she is unaware of, and I want…' He let out a frustrated groan, which Scarlet and Gunther noticed. Brianna quirked an eyebrow. 'Then you best make a move before they do.' She quipped. 'Although…' She glanced back at their problem, he did too. 'We best handle our problem first.' She suggested. 'Agreed.' He nodded.
"Woo!" Jackie cheered. "Go Kendall!"
"And you can get off, but it's all by me tonight." She continued. The others really loved her as she danced. The fact she was able to gain some confidence with this song, plus the fact she was doing what she loved, was making it all the more enjoyable as she danced. "What's wrong with being… What's wrong with being confident?" She really loved this as she hit the notes. Jackie cheered for her. Mouth even helped with the lighting and was having fun with the song. The fact it was a fun song. "Confident!" Everyone loved Kendall's performance. They probably thought she was one of the best people to do karaoke at the party. As Mouth placed the usual playlist back on, Kendall went to go meet up with Jackie who left Teena. Jackie and her doing their own little high five hand shake.
"That's confidence." She laughed. Kendall bit her lip, placing a strand of hair behind ear.
"Thought if I die of embarrassment, might as well go all out right?" Kendall said. Jackie nudged her.
"Please, you were amazing, plus…" She went to whisper in her ear. "He was watching the whole time, so, I think you accomplished something." Kendall gulped, blushing harder. Jackie giggled. "Ready for more fun tonight?" She asked.
"Sure…" Kendall was so unsure about her choice of clothing now.
"Just bring that confidence you had on stage and from the dance room, straight to the dance floor." Jackie encouraged her. "And dance with him. You've done it before anyway, so I believe in you."
"When we younger, and the competition thing are so different to now." Kendall countered.
"Just try right." Jackie had a small sly look. Kendall glanced away then back at her, before letting out a breath.
"Right." Kendall agreed, as they went to go join the others.
"You got this." Jackie whispered and winked.
"Girl, you sure know how to have fun." Scarlet laughed, Teena coming over.
"Um…well…I think we all do…" Kendall spoke. "I thought that's why the party was made." She glanced at them. Kick gulped.
"That, I guess is true." Kick said. Brianna and Scarlet snickered at him, which he gave them a pointed look.
"Yeah true." Gunther agreed.
"Then…uh shouldn't we be having fun?" Kendall asked.
"Dancing sounds like a real blast." Jackie added. "Although if things turn into a competition again," she giggled.
"Ooo I'd love to see Kendall beat Kick for real." Scarlet got excited.
"Same." Teena nodded. Kick just shook his head, but he glanced back. 'But those two…' He thought. Teena and Scarlet also noticing his glance. 'Keep an eye on him.' Brianna suggested. He glanced at his sister. 'A close eye.' She clarified. 'If he won't leave, then all we can do is keep a close eye on him, make sure nothing, and I mean nothing happens.' She also glanced at the two as they made their way towards the snack table grabbing some stuff then went to one of the seating areas. Kick nodded. 'Got it.' He confirmed.
"Let's have some fun!" Brianna grabbed the girl's hands as they all went to the dance floor, while Kick and Gunther stayed behind.
"You going to be good?" Gunther asked.
"You're seriously asking me that?" Kick looked at him. "You see what Jackie's wearing and I know your thoughts, don't get me started on what I want to do with the one who I kept denying my feelings for here…" He let out a frustrated sound. "Tonight's going to be one hell of a long night." He let out a breath. "And worst part she won't even know she's teasing me as she dances." He tilted his head back, letting out, this time a long breath. Gunther chuckled.
"I understand the feeling." He told his friend.
"Yeah but you at least get to kiss yours." Kick spoke.
"You've Kissed, although…" He was going to bring up how that went.
"Don't remind me, she thinks it's my worst kiss, I really am stupid." He groaned. "I really am." Gunther laughed. "Tonight really is going to be long."
"Yeah…but at least we don't get beat up because of our thoughts." Gunther glanced.
"Maybe we should though." Kick chuckled. "Might keep us in check with how they are." Gunther raised an eyebrow at him. "I said might." Kick reiterated.
"Definitely going to be one hell of night…" Gunther commented as he glanced at Jackie still admiring the way the suit looked on her, he bit his lip.
"Oh yeah." Kick agreed as he did the same to Kendall, biting the inside of cheek again.
"Good luck." Both wished each other, knowing this was going to be a long night.
To be continued…
Thank you for reading and see you soon for more of the pool party chapters!
Please keep safe.
Music- hoping you listen to your own dance type of music throughout (if you wish) makes for the party style to be more fulfilling I think [Song used Confident- Demi Lovato] parts of it at least.
