It's the summer after high school graduation. Olivia Routledge was expecting to party and have the time of her life with her friends. That is until she found herself falling in love with the king of the kooks.

This story includes some...
"Oh, no." I hear Pope say and I look up to see what's wrong. He is looking straight ahead and we all follow his gaze to see Topper Thornton. Topper is practically the prince of the Kooks. Him and Sarah recently had a pretty bad break up and of course he has it out for John B now.
"What is he doing here?" John B asks, obviously annoyed.
"Just ignore him." Sarah tries to reassure.
But Topper has other plans. I see him making his way over to John B with a cold expression on his face. Sarah's older brother Rafe and their friend Kelce follow close behind him.

"Hey, Sarah." Topper says with a fake smile.
"Just walk away, man." JJ tries to warn.
Topper ignores and moves his glance to John B, who has moved to stand in front of Sarah.
"Sorry to crash your little pogue party, just had to see what all of the fuss was about." Topper states, sarcastically.
"Look man, why don't you and your two kook monkeys head back to figure 8." John B speaks up.
After that everything happened so fast. I'm not even sure who throws the first punch but a fight has broken out between the two.
"John B, stop!" Sarah, Kie, and I all try pleading.
JJ and Pope manage to drag John B away from Topper and Rafe and Kelse help to hold him back. A few more choice words are shouted and the party has quickly ended. The crew heads back to the Chateau, trying to calm John B down along the way. Him and Sarah go up and sit on the porch.
"Well fun graduation party, while it lasted. I'm going to head home before my dad kills me." Pope says. I give him a half smile and a side hug before he takes off.
Kie, JJ, and I are left standing in the back yard.
"You ladies wanna try out the hot tub?" JJ suggests. We agree and Kie and I go in to get changed into our bathing suits. I put on my yellow two piece and then grab myself a beer from the fridge.

We go out to join JJ who is already in the hot tub. We spend the next hour or so just chatting, passing around a blunt, and trying to enjoy the rest of the night. I soon catch a glimpse of Sarah leaving and then Kie says she is going to head home as well. I'm starting to get tired so I head into the house and decide to check on John B before going to bed.
I knock on his bedroom door lightly and then open it. He is laying on his back in his bed, scrolling through his phone. "You okay, bubba?" I ask quietly.
"Yeah." He says and places his phone down next to him. I go and sit on the edge of his bed.
We sit and chat for what feels like hours. I am beyond grateful to have a brother that I can actually talk to and get along with. My eyes start to become heavy, struggling to stay awake, we say goodnight and I leave John B's room, closing the door behind me. As I glance out the window I notice JJ is no longer outside so I figure he has probably gone to bed. I make my way to the kitchen and see the mess left from dinner. I let out a sigh and start putting things away and piling the dirty dishes in the sink. I pack up the leftover burgers so the boys can eat them for lunch tomorrow before I decide to call it a night.
