Outer Banks POVs - You x Characters

Beach buddies // Pogues + Sarah // P1

*Context*

This story happens before the mad search for the gold. You are a pogue and you just so happen to be in JJ, John B, and Pope's class. Although they barely ever show up. JJ and John B have been friends forever and last year, before Christmas, you joined their friend group. This group does not include Sarah Cameron yet - which also means that your best friend Kie hates her...

Summer's nearly here baby!

Seven more days of school and then the summer holidays would finally start. At this point John B and JJ wanted to give up and just go hang every day but JJ stayed in school, for you.

"Hey man, I uh, I just wanted to thank you for coming to school for me..." I trailed off.

"No probs y/n, I like being your guard dog" JJ teased.

You got outed by a "friend" in 8th grade but luckily for you, your friends all accepted you. Especially JJ, because he was the first person you ever told that you were bisexual. Whenever anyone picked fights with you or insulted you for being yourself, JJ was always by your side. Letting you defend yourself but interfering if you needed help. You guys were the best of friends. But even you couldn't tell him about what's about to go down.

I giggled. "What time should I meet you guys at the beach?"

"Try to be there between 4 and 5 if you can!" JJ shouted whilst he rode away on his bike.

Whenever I don't have any homework to do after school, I usually help my mom at work, but today I feel like getting to the beach early. Early as in right now. I have a good feeling about this although I know mom's gonna be disappointed when I don't show. Can't be an angel all the time can I?

You leave your bicycle in the bushes and walk the rest of the way to the most secluded part of the beach (where you like to hang alone). You never see people there but today someone beat you there. 

Is someone crying? Ugh, kook princess alert. God, I feel terrible when people cry... here goes nothing I guess. 

"Hey, you're Sarah Cameron right? What's wrong?" 

My previous interactions with kooks were mostly all fights at parties so I doubted she knew me or wanted to get to know me. Either way, I wanted to try and help because no one deserves to be ignored when they're obviously not ok. And if I could hear her crying from a distance, she was not ok. 

"Wha-" she turned around; clearly flustered yet focusing on trying to wipe off all her tears before I could see them. Too late. "Oh nothing's wrong, I'm fine" she lied.

"Exactly how stupid do you think I am? I may not go to kook academy but I can still tell when people are upset." I joked.

There was a small smile on her face.

"You got me there Sherlock," she rolled her eyes. "Why should I tell you what's wrong though, no offense but we don't really know each other" she turned back around to face the water.

What a drama queen. Guess I'll just have to sit next to you then.

"True. So let's do this again." I smirked. "Hi, my name is y/n and I'm 16 years old. I like hanging with my crew at the beach but sometimes I prefer to come here where I can be alone. I can surf, ride a bicycle, ride a motorbike, but I can't drive. My favourite colour is red, to be more specific it's this shade," I stopped for a second to show her the bandana on my wrist, the one that JJ gave me, "and my birthday's in October." I exhaled because I may or may not have said all of that super fast. "Oh and I'm bi. Now you do know me," obviously I said that with a proud look on my face. I was scared that she'd think I'm silly - or turn out to be homophobic - but I tried to cover it up with confidence.
