“Yesssssss!” air kicked Peyton as she jumped on her bed. “Watch out Maroon 5! Here comes KY-BLU!” Her beautiful golden retriever, Diamonds, followed close behind and jumped on her all white crisp sheets.

 

“I’ve got to let KY-BLU know,” she said as she dashed for her white Galaxy S5. In a ring and half the girl at the other end picked up.

 

“Heyy Peyton,” said the girl at the end.

 

“Bon jour Riley, hold.” replied Peyton.

 

“Kay.” she said back. In less than a minute Peyton was talking in a five way call.

 

“So,” Peyton said into her phone, “I’ve got EFU news for KY-BLU’s ears. And our ears only.”

 

“Ooooooo” said Piper. “Haven’t heard an 'exclusively for us news' in a while, what is it?”

 

“Calm your tomato, Piper,” replied Peyton. “You’ll find out soon enough. This information is too precious to be shared through a piece of technology.”

 

“Whatever it is, I agree with Peyton,” agreed Riley.

 

“So um Peyton, when are you planning to tell us exactly?” asked Phoebe

 

“Tonight, at Summer Sommernight.” Peyton said with enthusiasm.

 

“Oh, yes! And you’re planning to wear a 10.0 cute outfit I assume?” inquired Tristina.

 

“De-nied, 10.1” replied Peyton. “Brendon and I are picking you guys up 2:30 on the dot. Dress code, night club.”

 

“Done,” said Phoebe.

 

“Done.”

 

“Done.”

 

“annnnd done,” finished Riley.

 

As Peyton hung up and threw her phone on her bed, she sensed a tingly feeling of excitement and somewhat nervousness for a new year up ahead. Who knew what Kirin High had planned for her.

“Hey Russell, where’s Scarlett?” asked Peyton as she flip flopped into the family room with her Jimmy Choo sandals slapping against her heels.

 

“How many times do I have to tell you, address me probably please,” said Russell.

 

“Oh, well Dad, have you seen Mom?”

 

“Probably in the kitchen with the cooking friends of hers. Now please get out I have to finish up my meeting here.”

 

“Oh,” realized Peyton as she saw another group six men in fancy clothing and dress shoes sitting in a circle on their new Ethan Allen turquoise leather loveseat.

 

“Sure, los cientos, Papa.”

 

“No problem, sugar. And I already told Brendon about tonight so no worries,” replied Russell.

 

“Gracias, ciao!” waved Peyton and walked out.

 

***

When Peyton walked into their black interior granite and marble kitchen, all she saw was flowers. Frosting flowers everywhere.

 

“Mom, what happened to the kitchen?” asked Peyton.

 

“Oh! Well Ruby and I just learned how to make frosting flowers here from Chef Juanito,” giggled Scarlett with her friend. “So we’re practicing. Do you like it?”

 

“Ugh Mom, do you know how many calories that thing is? Gawd, get it away from me,” grunted Peyton as she stomped away.

 

***

Back in her room, Peyton went on her iPad Mini and decided to input the Current State of Union of the morning. She didn’t understand why her family never appreciated what her thoughts and opinions were. But she decided, she’ll get over it because tonight, is meant to be perfect.

“Brendon, can you step on it? I made an 2:40 appointment and Dominique doesn’t like waiting,” demanded Peyton to her driver.

 

“Yawhhh and I don’t wanna wait with all the LBRs,” said Riley.

 

“Point,” agreed Phoebe.

 

“Do you hawnestly think that Dominique is going to make us wait with the LBRs? I don’t think so, not even if we’re an hour late. I just don’t wanna keep Dominique waiting,” pointed out Peyton.

 

“Point,” agreed Phoebe again as she held up her index finger.

 

“And I still need to go buy a new dress, ugh! I cannot believe my sister actually exploded it!” exclaimed Piper, “I was so looking forward on wearing that. Penny is so dead when I get back tonight.”

 

“Calm it, Pipes. You have me,” assured Peyton.

 

“Love you Peyton, but whatever, I’ll just get a limited edition from the Paris Dream Fashion Line,” replied Piper.

 

“Oh by the way,” interrupted Riley, “What is this TGTBT news you were talking about?”

 

“You shall find out tonight at the Summer Sommernight,” Peyton said with a wink.

 

“Ooooo suspicious, girl,” joked Tristina.

“It’s all in the head,” Peyton joked back as she tapped her head.

 

After the next five minutes, the five girls were dropped off at the Beverly Hills Mall.

“Thanks, Brendon. Bring the limo and we’ll see you at five.”

 

“Sure, will do,” nodded Brendon.

 

“Thanks! Ciao!” replied Peyton as she slammed the door and the five girls marched into the mall.

***

If you lived in the Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, San Jose, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, or even the So Cal area, anyone you would ever go up to would know the KY-BLU if you asked. They could name all their names, details about them and etcetera. It was heard that these five girls were more popular than Justin Bieber in Southern Cali and even in New York.

 

***

When Peyton Hawthorne, Riley Lockwood, Piper Harrington, Tristina Rutherford, and Phoebe Esposito walked in the glass revolving doors, everyone stopped in their tracks to see Cali’s fabulous five. Also known as KY-BLU.

 

It seemed like some kind of Mean Girls movie as peoples’ jaw dropped with every flip of their hair. And how they would walk into a pole for every step KY-BLU took. It’s an incredible sight and nothing, and absolutely nothing could ruin this bond.

 

First is Phoebe Esposito. She’s the girly girl of the group. Dark glossy brunette with a 5’3” height and small frame. Stunning red lips and dark brown eyes and tan olive skin. Known for her Spanish beauty and C-cups. Has been the leader of BH’s number one dance team CWC (Charm Without Cruelty) since age 4. Her dad works as Apple Co’s top lawyer. Nothing can convince this girl to play sports. She’s known as the “spanish hottie” that attracts guys and a big flirt which no one can ever avoid falling for.

 

Next up is Tristina Rutherford. Smart, cute, and athletic is her main thing. Dirty blonde with natural beach waves and bangs just above her eyes, light skin with light freckles but has a rose touch to it. Tallest of the girls at 5’5” and her light brown eyes give it the “beach girl” mood. Been on the Girl’s JV Volleyball team for quite some time and loves to go surfing and shopping during her free time. Her dad is the owner of Ritz Carlton Hotel and she has a tiger in her backyard. Likes smart and cute guys who are athletic and loves to read. Actually likes doing some work and does volunteering during her summer.

 

Third is Piper Harrington. Red flaming hair and pale face. Her eyes are a bright royal blue which totally matches her fire red hair. She’s in between Tristina and Phoebe at 5’4” and she absolutely loves eating (tries to maintain her body with dieting). Big frame, but skinny. A little wide compared to the rest of the girls but a total drop dead gorgeous with her strawberry hair as an attraction. Friends sometimes call her tomato. The clown of the group. Piper’s mom is the host of NYC & Beverly Hills Fashion Show host. Loves cute guys too but ones that joke around a lot and who loves to eat but that’s not fat. Love, love, loveeees head scarfs and would love to wear one anywhere if given a chance.

 

Fourth is Riley Lockwood. Bright blonde hair with green aqua eyes and dark dark lashes. The smart and mature one of the group. Sand colored skin with natural blush is a dead giveaway when she’s embarrassed. Is totally into lacrosse and would love to go play nationals one day. Is it weird how she likes romance stories like The Notebook and The Lucky One? She’s more a hipster girl that loves Urban and Anthropology though it’s pretty cheap compared to other brands. Is sweet to everyone and absolutely j’adores shopping. Let’s go Brandy anytime! Stay weird and love you to the moon and back.

 

Last but not least is Peyton Hawthorne. The leader. The alpha. The one and only. No one can ever take her spot and they never will. Known for her hotness and perfection. Honey colored hair and bright amber eyes. Tan cream ivory skin and no sign of imperfection on her face. Not a slight mistake. Ski slope nose, bright pink lips, and fluttering dark lashes. Friends call her “Pey” for short and is often called “50” with her girls by the University guys because the KY-BLU plus her were all rated tens and it equals fifty. She comes in second with B-cups. Perfect height at 5’3” and is in JV in both Girls Soccer and Cheer squad. Perfect figure eight with a slim waist and small frame. Plays center mid and the flyer and is beautiful both inside and out. Sweet to everyone and no guys can ever pass by her without drooling. Dad is CEO of Beverly Hills Architecture Institute and her mother is the owner of the New York City and Beverly Hills District and is in charge of each building, taxes, and government work. Often works with her husband Russell to discuss new designs around the city.

 

As they walked through the mall, it was like some kind of perfume swept through the air, making everyone stop in their tracks to see what it was. But yes, that unchangeable trend of perfume was the KY-BLU.

 

* * *

“Ahhhh the sweet smell of honeysuckle and pear!” exclaimed Peyton.

 

“Iz dat maii Paiiiii-ton I heah?!” asked Dominique.

 

“For sure, Dominique,” said Peyton as she flashed a wink.

 

“Aghhh I missed you so much!” exclaimed Piper.

 

“But you caiime with yoo mothah two days ago hun,” said Dominique.

 

“I know  but stillllll,” whined Piper.

 

“Ugh, she’s such a tomato head,” whispered Tristina to Riley.

 

“That’s the Pipes for you,” said Riley back.

 

“Si, ella hablo mucho,” agreed Phoebe rolling her eyes.

 

“Oh my goodness! Phoebe Esposito, roight? I hahven’t seen yo mothah since last munth! What hawppened, dahling?!” screeched Dominique.

 

“Los cientos, Dominique. Mi mamá is helping out Giana for her New York & Beverly Hills Fashion Show and the mission is to travel around the east coast from Florida all the way up to Maine and go to the most famous salons and beauty shops and doing live interviews. So that’s why she’s been gone the past few weeks. Aye hay muchas trabajas! Mi mamá es mucha cansada.”

 

“It’s alroight, she’ll be fine, I guarantee that,” said Dominique.

 

“Umm Dominique,” interrupted Peyton, “We seriously need to start right now! We only have two and a half hours!”

 

“Agreed. Dominique, I want Pedro to start with my hair,” requested Riley.

 

“And Antonio with mine!” joined in Tristina.

 

“Does Nacho still work here?” joked Piper, “Kidding! Call Jose for me,” she said.

 

“Hey hey, no one ever takes mi Miguelito,” said Phoebe with caution. “Tus chicas better back off.”

 

“I’m hogging Dominique for the day,” Peyton said as she added a wink.

 

“Alroight! Let’s get started than!” Dominique said as he clapped his hands, “Much much sowry but closing for the rest of the day to the other customers. I already have moi sweet peas to take care of.”

Chapter Four - Summer Sommernight

Summer Sommernight

“Girls, fall back,” ordered Peyton. The girls immediately obeyed and they walked in a straight line, side by side, one foot in front of the other, so perfectly aligned.

 

Honestly give the girls one good reason why people shouldn’t stare when they walk in!

 

“Is it just me or are those guys checking you out, Peyton?” inquired Riley as they were getting checked in.

 

“They’re checking you out, Brooke,” replied Peyton with a wink.

 

“Oh stawp it, you,” said Riley as her face flushed.

 

“What are you guys blushing about?” asked Piper as she put her arm around Peyton’s shoulder.

 

“Your hair,” replied Riley flatly.

 

“What? What’s wrong with it?” asked Piper as she slightly freaked.

 

“Zip it, the guys are headed this way,” Peyton warned. As hilarious as it was, the five girls rapidly re-applied lip gloss, fluffed their hair, checked their dresses for lints, and began chatting and laughing casually.

 

Sure enough one of the guys walked over to Phoebe and offered her a bottle of San Pellegrino. Smiling slyly, Phoebe took it and purposely touched his hand.

 

“Hey Peyton, I just came over so I could introduce my friends to yours.” said the cute guy with perfect beach brown hair.

 

“Oh, awesome, these are my friends Piper Harrington, Riley Lockwood, Tristina Rutherford, and Phoebe Esposito,” said Peyton as she gestured toward her friends.

 

Piper smiled.

Riley waved.

Tristina nodded.

and of course, Phoebe winked.

 

“My name’s Karstn Graves and as you know I’m Peyton’s friend. These are my friends Greg Parken, Ryan Eguchi, Chad Gibbon, and Jason Vega,” said Karstn as he also gestured toward his friends.

 

Each of the guys took turns saying hi and just smiling. Just then someone walked up to the podium.

 

“Alright, if everyone could find partners for the next dance, the best couple will win a 50 inch Samsung plasma flat screen TV and a gigantic stuffed bear!” said the host.

 

“Gawd, hawnestly, the way that they actually use TV and a stuffed bear to bribe people,” commented Phoebe.

 

At that, Jason chuckled and asked, “Care for a dance than?”

 

“Oh my gawd, haha sure,” said Phoebe gleefully as she linked her arm to his waiting arm and took off to the dance floor.

 

“Well don’t they look like a cute future couple,” said Piper breaking the awkward silence.

 

“You know who else would make a cute future couple?” inquired Chad suspiciously.

 

“Oh, who?” asked Piper as her bright blue eyes sparkled.

 

“You and me,” said Chad as he kept his perfect white smile.

 

Piper slapped her thigh, “Awh, come on Chad, hitting on girls already? Chill, it’s only been 15 minutes into the party,” but still happily she walked off to the dance floor, arm linked to her new friend.

 

Slowly and slowly, Tristina and Riley also joined the other girls on the dance floors after Ryan and Greg shyly asked them to dance. After they left, Karstn and Peyton were finally alone which made electric sparks sending in their directions in every single way possible.

 

“Care for a dance?” asked Karstn.

 

“Hahah oh Karstn, sure,” agreed Peyton. As they walked into the middle of the dance floor, everything seemed to mute around them. Not in the romantic, “hey let’s kiss all of a sudden” thing but just a comfortable feeling that you might get when you’re holding your dad’s hand.

 

“How was your summer so far, Peyton?” inquired Karstn.

 

The sound of her name through his mouth sounded a little weird but it felt good. Like somehow she owned him. That nothing could separate them from anything at that perfect moment.

 

“It was really busy actually… I had to do a lot of volunteer work and I went to two retreats to Cedar Crest by Big Bear. Mostly spent it though skype-ing my girls,” she added as she giggled softly, “what about you, Karstn? How was yours?”

 

“Spent most of it at soccer practice and camp and then helped my older brother repair his motorcycle from time to time,” he replied.

 

“That sounds sweet,” she replied. But in her head she had so many things to say… so many questions to ask… so many things she wanted to do. But it seemed like everything was held inside a high pressured jar about to explode any moment if she couldn’t control it.

 

Breaking the short silence, Karstn asked, “So we’re still going along with the date this Sunday?”

 

“Oh, that,” Peyton replied casually, “of course, how can I say no?”

 

He just threw back his head and smiled and slowly placed his hands on Peyton’s waist and slow danced right when the song When I Was Your Man came on.

 

Peyton slowly raised her arm to his neck and danced swayed side to side as she glanced around quickly for her friends. Much to her surprise, they were doing the same thing, all looking very comfortable and happy. Slow thoughts were going to her head when all of a sudden the music switches to Oppa, Gangnam Style and everyone starts horse dancing like crazy.

 

Out of the corner of her eye, Peyton sees Piper and Chad twerking back to back. Piper sees Peyton looking and she shoots her a wink sending Chad looking in Peyton and Karstn’s direction.

 

“Looking good you guys,” shouts Chad.

 

Instead of being embarrassed, Karstn says something back to Peyton’s surprise, “and you guys are going to reproduce twerking like that!”

 

“We’re getting into it,” says Chad with a sneaky smile.

 

“Hey Peyton!” yells Piper, “you know the - ”  but she was cut off by the speaker at the podium once again and the music slowly fades off.

 

“Thank you to those who participated in 2013 Summer Sommernight’s couple dance competition. I will now announce the winner from an anonymous voting from the audience,” announced the speaker.

 

The KY-BLU and the guys huddled up together in their group waiting for the results.

 

“No haters when we win this thing, alright?” joked Piper.

 

“Did you mean when we win it, Pipes?” shot back Phoebe.

 

“Come awn guys, it’s only a little competition. But the best dancers are always winners,” included Riley.

 

“I second with Riley,” added Ryan.

 

“Shhhh guys I wanna hear the results,” said Tristina as she shushed the group.

 

“For all of you who participated, there was a slight change to this year’s competition,” said the speaker. Everyone looked at each other with confusion as murmurs spread around the crowd, “This year, we will have five winning couples for the five different categories, and here they are,” said the woman as she continued. “The Most Outgoing Couple goes to….. drumroll please…… Piper Harrington and Chad Gibbon! Congratulations!”

 

“Yeahh! I knew it, awesome dancing, Chad,” said Piper as she high-fived Chad.

 

“You were not so bad yourself,” replied Chad.

 

“Zip it guys, there’s still four more winners left,” said Phoebe as she shushed them again.

 

“The Most Sexiest Couple goes to….. Phoebe Esposito and Jason Vega! Congratulations!” announced the speaker.

 

“Ayyee! Muy bueno! Gracias mi Jasonito,” gushed Phoebe as she squeezed Jason with a gigantic hug.

 

“De nada, Phoebe. It was a pleasure,” said Jason with a smile.

 

“Next, the Most Happiest Looking Couple goes to…. Tristina Rutherford and Greg Parken! Congratulations!”

 

“Yes!” said Greg as he punched the air with his fist, “Great job out there, Tris!”

 

“Oh hahah, thanks, you too, Greg,” replied Tris shyly.

 

“Next the Most Skilled Couple goes to….. Riley Lockwood and Ryan Eguchi! Congratulations!” announced the speaker.

 

“I knew it!” said Karstn as he air punched in front of him as Riley bounced on her toes happily.

 

“Lastly.. the Most Loveable Couple goes to….. Peyton Hawthorne and Karstn Graves! Congratulations!” shouted the speaker.

 

“Ahhh my Peyton, I knew we could do it,” said Karstn.

 

“Ahahah thanks Karstn, you were good too,” said Peyton as she gave him a hug.

 

“I can see why you guys won the most lovable couple,” commented Ryan, “looking cute you guys, looking cute.”

 

“Aye, Karstn, friends okay? F.R.I.E.N.D.S.,” denied Peyton.

 

“Ooo friendzoned mann,” booed Karstn’s friends.

 

“Knock it off you guys,” said Karstn slightly embarrassed.

 

“How’re you guys getting home?” asked Greg. “Want us to escort you guys home?”

 

“Brendon actually dropped us off here with a limo and he’s picking us up at 8:00 by the lobby,” answered Riley.

 

“Who’s Brendon? Is that another guy you guys are hanging out with?” asked Ryan kind of defensively.

 

“Why should we tell you?” teased Tristina, “Don’t worry about it, we’ll let you guys know after we’re done with Brendon,” she said as she added a wink.

 

“Okay… just, just don’t do anything… sketchy…” said Jason.

 

“Ayeee~ do not worry mi Jasonito! We gals will do what we gotta do and let you gentlemenitos know!” replied Phoebe as-matter-factly.

 

“Oh… ahah okay, yeah sure,” Jason replied.

 

“Eyyyy, Brendon’s here you guys, legggoo,” gestured Peyton as she was grabbing her silver Prada clutch.

 

“Oof! Time to go! It was fun tonight, Chad! Bye!” waved Piper.

 

“I’ll text you,” Chad replied.

 

“Same with us,” said Greg and Ryan.

 

“Adioosss chicos! Hasta luegooooo!” said Phoebe as she blew a kiss.

 

“Ermergerd Phoebe, hurry it up, this weather is making my skin crackle,” said Riley as she made Phoebe hurry up.

“Best. Dance. Ever.” Enunciated Tristina. “I mean, did you see the way Ryan was holding me when we were dancing? Ugh, I think I can still feel his fingers on my waist.”

 

“Ya know, I would tell you to snap out of it but I can’t deny my love for Chad either,” added Piper.

 

“Ayeee I already know mi Jasonito está encantando con mi. The looks in sus ojos proves everything,” agreed Phoebe.

 

“Greg was actually really sweet, when I saw him at school, I always thought he was so serious,” added Riley.

 

“Well, Karstn and I are not going anywhere so don’t you guys even think about hooking us up,” warned Peyton.

 

“Awhhh cmonn but you guys totally like each other! Why deny it?” asked Piper.

 

“You know what they say, strong denial also means strong feelings,” corrected Tristina.

 

“So speaking of strong denials, what about you, Tristina? How are you feeling about the night you spent with Ryan today?” inquired Peyton.

 

“He’s nice I guess, I don’t know. I don’t see anything special in him. I just don’t wanna fall for anyone. I haven’t dated anyone yet and you guys know that. I’m new to this kinda stuff,” explained Tristina as she blushed.

 

“It’s okay, we’re always here for you. If you need advice, let us know,” assured Riley.

 

“Tu futura es solo uno step away! Call moi!” winked Phoebe as she held up an imaginary phone to her ears.

 

Just then, the front separation window from the driver’s seat to the back, rolled down and Brendon announced that they have arrived to Piper’s house. They dropped off Piper and continued on their way till they dropped off Riley, then Phoebe, then Tristina, then finally back to Peyton’s house.

 

Peyton sat in the limo wondering how things are gonna turn out now. They had taken one step closer to the boys, but what now? Only 15 days left of summer. How is she going to prepare for her Sophmore year?

 

Everything was swirling around inside Peyton’s head and she decided this was when she needed her Palm Pilot. And this is what she recorded:

 

Current State of Union

IN                                OUT

Assurance                  Confusion

Gals                             Pals

“I swear, Woki’s sashimi is the way to go,” mumbled Riley.

 

“I haven’t had a single roll since the last time I ate bad sushi,” said Tristina.

 

“But you guys gotta admit, this is pretty do-able for a Saturday lunch,” pointed out Piper.

 

“Point,” Phoebe replied with her chopsticks held up.

 

“Peyton, snap outa it girl, what the heck is wrong with ya?” snapped Piper. “I’m eating all your tempera if you don’t start eating it.”

 

“I will, I will. Don’t blame me if the Tweety bird is distracting me,” replied Peyton.

 

“So Peyton,” Phoebe started, “I’ve come to realize when I got home the other day that you never told us what the EFU news was! Que lastima!”

 

“Oh that, hahah well first of all, mi padre got Backstage Maroon 5 tickets for us!”

 

“AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!” cheered all the girls at once.

 

“WHEREEEEE?!” hollered Piper.

 

“WHENNNNNNNN?!” exploded Riley.

 

“AYEEEEE QUE PASO?!” yelled Phoebe.

 

“HOWWW?!” screeched Tristina.

 

“Well, you know my dad. He was designing the new stage and the amphitheater for downtown Beverly Hills and he gets a knock on his office door. So this guy comes in claiming to be Maroon 5’s manager and everything. He asked my dad if Maroon 5 can hold the ever first concert in the all new Beverly Hills amphitheater. They wanted to have a Super Concert and all so they offered to pay 7 million dollars but then my dad said he’ll just do it cuz he doesn’t need the money but they forced him to take it anyways. So then he saw a picture of us in his office and asked Russell if we that was a picture of the all-so-famous KY-BLU and offered exclusive VVIP tickets that has access to the backstage and the front pit seats. Then he told me dad something about how he was still looking for a tour guide for the boys and wondered if we, like as in, KY-BLU can spend a whole day with them, showing them around Beverly, LA, and down to Newport Beach.”

 

“OH. MY. GAWD,” said the girls simultaneously with their jaws dropped...
