PART ONE:

You sat in your usual spot by the beach reading The Hunger Games. You were becoming more lost in the book by the second. This was probably the best book you'd ever read.

Your peaceful reading was interrupted by a voice;

"Hey."

You looked up to see a blonde boy who looked rather attractive 😉. You then looked back down at your book. 

"I'm JJ," he said. You continued reading.

"Whatcha reading?"

You showed him the cover without stopping reading. 

"Interesting," he said. "What's it about?" You held up the back of the book up that gave a description. He was a bit confused and surprised, but he played along. He read the description.

"Wow. That's interesting," JJ said awkwardly after finishing reading the description. You just kept reading. 

"What's your name?"

You looked up at him and examined for a moment. 

"(Y/n)," you mumbled. 

"What a lovely name," JJ replied. He stuck his hand out, expecting you to shake it.

You stared at JJ's hand for a moment before deciding to slowly raise your hand to gently shake his. You went back to reading after a moment.

"Tough one," JJ mumbled quietly to himself. "My friends and I are going out in our boat. Wanna come?"

You looked up at him for a moment. You considered the offer. 

"Uh... O-okay..." You replied, not sure what to say. His sociableness was a bit startling.

JJ motioned for his friends to come over. And so they did. 

"Guys, this is (Y/n). (Y/n), this is Pope, Kiara- or as we call her, Kie-, and John B," JJ introduced. You slightly waved awkwardly.

"Come on, JJ. Leave (p) alone. They're probably not interested in dating you," said the one JJ introduced as John B. JJ shushed him. 

"What are you talking about? I'm making friends, not flirting!" JJ said, clearly lying, his face heating up slightly. The others raised their eyebrows.

"(Y/n) agreed to go boating with us," JJ said, changing the subject. 

"Really? I've never seen (p) talk to anyone before," Kie said. "(P) just sit there every day, reading."
"Well, I convinced (p) to come with us!"

"Okay then, let's get this show on the water," said Joh- wait no. That was Pope... right? Yeah.

~<• el time skip to when you guys are on the boat •>~

You sat next to JJ, looking around silently. You were getting social anxiety, but you tried to contain it. sit had been trying to break through the whole time. You tried your best to calm it.

"Want a beer?" JJ asked you, taking a sip of his own. 

"Uh..." You thought for a moment. That would probably make your anxiety worse, but you thought, fuck it.

"Sure," you said a little too quietly. You weren't good with people.

"John B! Beer me!" JJ said. 

"Gotcha!" John B replied, handing JJ a beer. He opened it and handed it to you. You nodded in thanks as you grabbed it and chugged almost half of it, JJ staring.

"What? You think an introvert can't drink?" You said. That was the most you'd said for a while. 

"Uh... No... It just... I..." JJ stammered nervously. 

"I'm joking," you said with a small chuckle.

You felt JJ looking at you. You looked over at him to see him take a swig of beer before looking away quickly. You took a drink of yours as well.
