"Psst. Hey, hey." JJ nudged Emelina on the shoulder. "What?" she asked, tearing her eyes from the movie screen.
"Distract Topper." he ordered. Her lips formed into a straight line, shaking her head. "Um, no. I don't think I've forgiven you yet." she taunted.
"Please," Pope begged, "I can't hold it any longer," he said, referring to having to use the restroom. Emelina sighed, moving her attention back to JJ, "Fine. On one condition."
"Anything!" Pope said, keeping his voice low so Kiara wouldn't budge in. "JJ has to tell me his full name." she stated, giving him a small grin.
"Are you serious? No!" JJ protested but Pope was already up from his seat. "It's a deal. Let's go." He pulled JJ up, which caused Kiara to now be aware of the situation. "Hey, where y'all going?" she questioned.
"We gotta wring it out." JJ told her and she groaned, "You gonna hold it for each other?" she asked as they walked away and Emelina let out a laugh.
A few seconds later, she held up her empty Pepsi can that she secretly dumped on the ground. "I'm going to get another one," she said, getting up and walking over to the three boys.
"Hey, Topper. Can I talk to you for a sec?" Emelina stood in front of him, blocking any view of the movie screen. All three kept their eyes on her, and she swallowed thickly, waiting for an answer.
As expected, he got up from his chair, and the pair walked over to a tree to speak to one another. "What is it?" he asked, leaning his hand on the tree.
"I saw your text from the other night." Emelina confronted him, but he seemed not to understand what she meant. "What are you talking about?" he raised an eyebrow.
"What am I talking about?" she scoffed, then proceeded to pull out her cell phone to show him the evidence. "This is what I'm talking about."
He grabbed the phone out of her grip to reread the text message that he did send. "Look, you can't tell anyone I sent that. I was high out of my mind. I don't remember that at all."
"Topper... I want to know if you've really lost—"
Her words were cut short by a hand clasping on her shoulder. "You think you're slick, huh, princess?" Rafe's voice rang in her ear.
"Let go of her, man. What's going on?" Topper slid Rafe's hand off of her. "She came here to distract you while her boys snuck off." he answered.
And with that, the Kook boys were leaving their area to chase after her friends. "Shit," she muttered, following them behind the movie screen.
She walked in on them, circling Pope and JJ. Leaning against a nearby tree, she watched Topper address them. "Yeah, that was some nice work you did on my boat."
"I-I don't know what you're talking about." Pope took a step backward. "Oh, yeah, of course you don't." Topper scoffed.
"Not so burly without a gun, are you?" Rafe glanced at JJ. "Take one more step, I'll rip that prepubescent face off." JJ replied.
