Kennedy woke up at 6:00 am the next morning, still not used to the Californian time change.  She changed into her outfit for the day, a white crop top, mom jeans, black and white air jordans, and gold hoop earrings. On top of that some makeup and tied her hair back into a low bun. Kennedy was very into fashion and has been a passion of hers for her whole life.

She headed downstairs, planning to make breakfast for everyone else in the house before they woke up

She headed downstairs, planning to make breakfast for everyone else in the house before they woke up. Looking for ingredients to make pancakes, Nessa came into the kitchen. "Good morning girl!" Nessa said energetically. 

"Hey! Wow your very awake to be up this early," Kennedy responded.

"Couldn't sleep. Watcha doin'?" 

"Trying to find ingredients to make pancakes."

"Don't even bother, these boys live on Saddle Ranch and BOA Steakhouse." 

"Yea I can definitely tell." Saddle Ranch and BOA Steakhouse were two restaurants that the Sway Boys went to almost every week. Kennedy eventually gave up on trying to make pancakes and drove to Starbucks with Nessa. While Nessa drove, they talked about Kennedy and her TikTok accounts.

"Kenny you should definitely make some TikToks with me and the Sway Boys. It would be so much fun."

"I don't know Ness. I don't want to get too sucked into the TikTok world and get too attached to Los Angeles."

"Kenny I know you wouldn't. You want to go to NYU too badly. I mean it won't hurt to make some TikToks."

"I guess your right."

As they got out of the car, a paparazzi stopped them, Fletcher from Hollywood Fix. Kennedy could see Nessa roll her eyes. "Oh boy," Nessa said.

"Nessa, Nessa, how are you?" Fletcher asked following Kennedy and Nessa with a camera.

"I'm good," Nessa replied.

"How're things with Josh?"

"They're fine. Fletcher, we have to go."

"Wait, wait, before you go. Who's your friend Nessa, I think I saw her with you at the airport yesterday."

"I'm Kennedy," Kennedy interjected.

"Nice to meet you, Kennedy. Looking forward to seeing what you might post on social media," Flecther said.

"Thank you. We have to go now," replied Kennedy. Kennedy and Nessa made their way into Starbucks, grabbed their drinks, and headed home. 

"So what are we doing today Ness?"

"We are going to go over to the Sway House, meet some of the other boys, maybe do some TikToks, and figure it out from there."

"Sounds good." They got back to the house where Josh and Griffin were standing in the kitchen. Josh and Griffin were both eating some scrambled eggs.

"Hey boys," said Nessa and lightly kissed Josh on the lips, "where's Anthony, Kio, Jaden, and Quinton?"

"Still sleepin'," Griffin said, "so Kennedy how long are you stayin' in Los Angeles?"

"Um just for the summer and then I'm going to college at NYU next fall," Kennedy said, partially blushing. 

"Oh, I didn't realize you were so smart," Griffin responded with a smirk and flirtatious attitude. Was Griffin actually hitting on Kennedy? Kennedy was now really blushing

"Cut it out Griff, Kennedy would never go for you," Nessa said. Nessa sadly might have been wrong.

"What are you talking about?" said Griffin, playing dumb. Once the other boys woke up and got ready, they headed over to the Sway House. Griffin, Josh, and Jaden came along. Nessa introduced Bryce Hall, Blake Gray, and Noah Beck, the other sway boys to Kennedy. She also met their photographer, Vinny, and videographer, JRod, and Bryce's assistant, Rafy. Blake's girlfriend, Amelie Zilber, was there, but Bryce's girlfriend, Addison Rae, and Noah's girlfriend, Dixie D'Amelio (also Griffin's ex-girlfriend), weren't there. Bryce filmed a bit for his vlog and they all made TikToks. Kennedy decided to just post one with Josh and Nessa. She checked back 30 minutes later and already had 25,000 likes, and gained 5,000 followers. Kennedy finally realized this summer is really going to change her.

After a couple of hours, Kennedy noticed, Bryce, handing Griffin some money and glancing over to her. Kennedy asked Nessa what they were doing and Nessa told her they were probably betting on some beer pong game. So, Kennedy just thought nothing of it after that.
