The Archives of BFF

What a time to be alive as a Switch stan. BFF World 2014. It was amazing to watch Carlos beg for Brittany’s hand onstage and witness the birth of their beautiful daughter Kimberly. In addition every Leo stan is raging in excitement because he is now single. Ticket sales skyrocketed for the Around the World Part II Tour. Every girl is hoping to lock eyes with the bad boy heartthrob and marry him on sight.

​

 

At the Square Arena in downtown Manhattan, Mia was is distress backstage. It was our last free day in New York before we all had to go back on the road to perform.

 

Mia was very uncomfortable, trying to stay calm and collective as she distantly watch Leo pace around the stage while on the phone.

         “Are you okay?” Cameron asked as she sat down next to her on the couch.

​

Before Mia could respond, Brittany sat down on the couch too with Kimberly swaddled in her arms.

         “Say hi to Kimberly,” Brittany cheese.

​

Mia leaned over and gently greeting the newborn.

         “Can’t believe you performed at BFF World before going into labor,” Mia smiled.

Brittany let out a small chuckle, “I didn’t have much choice.”

​

“How’s Carlos?” Cameron asked softly.

Brittany briefly stop swaying Kimberly before continuing on. “He will be fine.”

         “Fine?” Cameron question, “He just gave his role up as 2nd Varsity Lead to Romeo. Like Romeo as chain of commands with Zachary? I’ll pass.”

​

Mia added, “Surely Carlos is feeling rough to step down in the middle of the tour.”

Brittany shook her head, “I had to give up my position to be a mother. He had to do the same.”

​

The three looked up and notice Leo walking towards them.

Mia’s heart started to beat fast but it came to a halt when he silently pass them to the dressing room.

​

         “We should jump him,” Cameron suggested.

         “What?”

​

Cameron sat up, “You heard me. We need to jump Leo and that JV girl.”

         “She has a name,” Mia sighed.

         “A name that we shall not say aloud. I can ask Jackie to jump in. Her alliance is neutral. Jackie knows how to fight. She don’t just pull hair. She can drag her around the floor until her face turn blue and purple. And-”

         “Stop Cameron!” Mia said standing up.

         “Hey. The baby.” Brittany said.

​

Mia apologize for raising her voice.

         “Stop giving Leo the benefit of the doubt,” Cameron said, “He cheated on you. He cheated on you with a JV girl.”

​

Mia was not ready to hear the truth as her heart started to pound more and more.

Passing by was Maxwell holding a plate full of carrots.

         “Is everything okay,” he asked.

Cameron in her very defensive attitude said, “Keep it pushing Maxwell. You and that dang long sleeve turtleneck. Its 95 degrees outside.”

​

Maxwell popped his collar and said some cuss words to Cameron in Italian.

Then she started cussing at him in Japanese.

​

That when Kimberly started crying excessively.

Immediately the two stop arguing and apologize to Brittany and Kimberly.

​

Meanwhile in the dressing room, Leo took a seat by Jean who was playing games on his phone.

         “Hello Mr. Player. The headlines love talking about you,” Jean smirked.

         “Kinda glad Mia caught me with Kylie. I was getting sick and tired of sneaking around,” Leo said with no remorse.

​

Jean laughed before going into a small whisper, “No more secret love affairs in LA with Kylie. You can now date her publicly.”

         “I’m not interested.”

​

Jean fingers pause in shock causing him to get Game Over.

         “What? You can’t be serious right now,” Jean whispered.

         “I don’t want to date Kylie,” Leo whispered back.

         “You have to. You told her you would.”

         “I told her many things that wasn’t true.”

 

Jean was in disbelief.

Bring his voice to a lower tone, he said, “Leo you broke a BFF rule and many members resent you for it.”

         “So?”

​

Jean hit Leo in the back of his head.

         “You commit adultery. You cheated on a Varsity lead singer. You… You don’t even seem guilty of your crimes.”

 

Leo was starting to become very irritated. In a deep mean tone, he said, “So when did you become Jesus? Don’t act I don’t know what you do in the middle of night thinking about the girl you hate so much. You knew I was going on trips with Kylie for months and now that I got caught making out her, you want act all innocent. As if you never knew this been going on since last year.”

​

         “And when do you plan on telling that information to the group? They think the hook up was a one time deal. You been cheating on Mia for over a year now.”

         “Never,” Leo said.

         “Whatever done in the dark will be expose,” Jean warned.

         “Yeah whatever,” Leo said grabbing his keys.

         “What now you are going to go get drunk? Are you going to call up your side chick? Have her show you a good time? What happen to you Leo? Ever since your brother-”

​

         “Shut it!”

Leo’s shout got everyone’s attention.

​

         “See you at the house,” Leo said before leaving.

​

Pulling out his phone he called for Kylie to meet him in the parking lot.

         “Wear something-”

         “Nice?” Kylie said as she ran into Leo in by the storage room.

Ending call, Leo tried to grab Kylie’s hand. Though Kylie wasn’t interested.

         “What did I do?” Leo questioned.

​

“Are you using me?” Kylie asked.

         “No.”

         “So when are we going to come out as boyfriend and girlfriend?”

         “When the time is right,” Leo smiled.

Leaning in he held Kylie tightly.

​

It wasn’t long before they heard someone coming their way. Quickly Leo rushed into the storage room while Kylie pretend to be on a phone call. It was Jackie and Sammatha.

         “There you are,” Jackie smiled.

         “What do you want,” Kylie said in an attitude.

         “Oh pookie think she the hot stuff. Miss Homewrecker,” Jackie smirked.

         “Hey Jackie. Not cool,” Sammatha said trying to defend Kylie.

         “Don’t take her side Sammatha. Kylie might one day try to steal your man,” Jackie said meanly.

​

Kylie rolled her eyes. “Why don’t we talk to Jordyn then? Right now.”

​

Jackie froze in deep conviction. “Um I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Kylie sucked her teeth a bit, “Yes you do, Miss Homewrecker. You are worst than me. I shot my shot with a Leo. A guy from Rap Line. Who did you sleep with in the middle of night while in Toronto?”

​

Jackie shock her head, “No… I didn’t even leave the room.”

“Yes you did. I saw you get up. I saw you grab your overnight bag and toothbrush. I watch you tip toe across the hotel room. I saw Mr. 1st Lead Varsity CHIEF… waiting at the door.”

​

Jackie was in distraught.

Kylie continue, “Not only are you a homewrecker but you are also a gold digger who get paid for your service. You are the only girl in the house other than Lily who owns designer. Starting to think you didn’t buy it. Legend has it that you are the group’s prostitute and Mr. 1st Lead is your sugar -”

​

​

“Okay Kylie,” Sammatha said intervening. Standing between the gap, Sammatha said, “Let’s just pretend that this conversation didn’t happen.”

         “If you think Leo going to date-”

         “And you think Zachary going to leave his childhood crush for you? His parents are old money racist. They won’t approve his son dating a black girl who moneys her body away for a hot meal.”

         “I wanted to pop her in the mouth right there. It was nothing but the grace of God that I didn’t break her arm right there,” Jackie said to the camera.

         “2014 was an interesting year for Switch,” the interviewer chimed.

​

Jackie agreed, “Yea everyone was dead in sin. Many members, including myself were having affairs left and right while on tour. Oh and the amount of drugs that were hiding in people’s suitcases was insane. Some members pride was threw the roof. Others were bitter. Others had envy in their heart. Every BFF code was broken that year. No remorse. It was like we wanted to get caught in our sins so we could have some bragging rights. What’s that saying? Bored people create problems.”

​

         “How could the members of Switch be bored? Wasn’t the group on tour?,” the interviewer asked.

​

         “ We weren’t bored. The fans were bored. A new fanfic was being release about us every 30 minutes. These fans wanted a show, so we gave them a show. Ain’t nobody was thinking about Jesus. We wanted to have ‘fun’ after getting abuse by Mr.Smith. The fans wanted to see ‘fun’. So we gave them the ‘fun’. That ‘fun’ turned into the devil having a field day with all of us.”

​

         “So it was like Dizney World for the devil?,” asked the interviewer.

         “No this wasn’t a cakewalk game from elementary school. This entry is from July 1st 2014. All the dumb stuff we did in 2014, made 2015~2023 a living Hell. Ain’t nobody was thinking of repenting back then. I didn’t at least. I feel like we weep what we sow. The wages of sin is death, so why were we expecting life to get better?”
