"they're gonna have japanese toilets with towel warmers" the curly haired girl spoke with bitterness on her tounge as she walked out of the house towards pope

"this used to be a turtle habitat, but who cares about the turtles. i guess"

"i'd chose warm over cold towels any day" i responded while taking a sip of my beer.

"don't spill that beer because i'm not giving you a new one" jj told john b, who was trying to balance on the roof of the house.

then as if on que john b dropped his beer and it splattered all over the balcony

"dumbass" i said shaking my head.

"of course you dropped it"

"hey uh, securities here! better wrap it up" pope said.

"humpty dumpty lets roll" i said getting, up from my spot on the balcony

"gary good to see you man!"

one by one we all ran down the stairs and out the door laughing and screaming, we may do this a lot but its always more fun the next time we do it "go pope go!" jj whooped as i jumped on his back, barely making it on. he chuckled and continued running, barely affected by my light weight

the brown hippie van's horn honked in the background as we ran towards it whooping and hollering at the excitement of being chased.

"hurry up the bus is leaving" i chuckled hopping off john b's back and ran into the van before it started driving away.

"hey, hey!" gary yelled barely keeping up with the van "check out gary, gunin for a raise!" pope said while laughing at the security guard who looked like a tomato from the intensity of running.

"you're gonna give him a heart attack guys" kie chuckled, watching as jj and i stuck our heads out of the van cheering on gary.

"they don't pay you enough, dude" i said, throwing a beer at him


THE POGUES



there's jj, he's about as local as they come. latest in a long line of fishing, drinking, smuggling, vendetta-holding salt-waffers who made their living off of water. best surfer i know, just don't tell him i said that. mild kleptomaniac and future tax cheat. also the reason how i met the pogues. i saw him surfing one day on the beach with john b one day when we were in 4th grade and i had challenged him to a surfing challenge. kiara and pope were just a bonus.

the only other girl in our group, my bestie kiara, or kie as we all like to call her. when not saving the turtles or listening to marley, or getting a dolphin tattoo, she hangs out with us. i'm not really sure why, though. she's a rich kid, actually. well we both are. we both have our foot in both worlds. her parents own the wreck, a total cash cow with the tourisits. i know her parents think im a good girl, when im really just as bad as the boys in our crew. im pretty sure they despise the boys, though. maybe because they all appear to have a thing for her.

next is pope, the brains of the opperataion. finalest for the merit scholarship, and the smartest person i know, other than me anyways. wants to be a corner, so a little weird sometimes. his fathers this legendary character, heyward. anything you want on the island, he can get you.

the last member of our crew is john booker routledge, john b for short. i like to call him junie b, though. also the unoffical leader of our crew, aka the pogues.

my name is jazlyne hope cameron, i go by jaz or jazzy though. daughter of ward cameron and twin sister of the one and only kook princess, sarah cameron. me and sarah are pretty close, though. we have this running joke, that we're like the princess twins of legendale from that one movie. since she's the kook princess and i'm basically the pogue princess, majority of the people in the cut know me. my brother rafe, always trys to keep me away from the cut but id much rather hang out with them rather than his stuck up kook friends and my secret ex topper.
