Look, for nine months, everybody tried to get me to believe my dad's dead. They say I'm in denial. Whatever. Denial's underrated. You should try it sometime. It's highly effective, and it's only denial if you're wrong. It doesn't make any sense. My dad is the last guy who would ever get lost at sea. This compass coming back to me, my father's compass, which was passed down from generations, it's a sign. My dad's still alive, and I'm gonna find him.

Let's just say yesterday was very messy, to say the least. JJ and I hadn't really talked about what happened which was making things more awkward. I decided to walk to John B's this morning instead of running at a rapid pace, with the fear of missing out on something.
So many things were running through my mind. JJ. The compass. JJ. I really needed to talk to Kiara but she lives in figure 8 and I can't be bothered to walk all that way.
I felt like an idiot yesterday after we found the compass. There was so much tension in the area. Awkward silence tension.
My house is close to JJ's, like, a 10 minute walk. I walk or run the same route every morning. As I walked past JJ's I heard loud rock music playing. I stopped walking and looked at the door, tempted to knock on it. I decided just to walk around JJ's window and see if he was there. I saw him peacefully sleeping and I raised my fist to the window, knocking lightly. He looked up to the window and met my eyes. I smiled at him which he returned. He reached over and unlocked the window, lifting it up. "Good morning Princess," I chuckled softly, "Morning J. I have a crazy idea-" JJ smirked, "I'm done for anything." I rolled my eyes playfully, trying to fight the smile that was making its way to my lips. "-Shut up. Wanna play a prank on John B?" He chuckled, "What did you have in mind?"

JJ and I walked over to the chateau together going over the plan. We were gonna knock on his door and say we were DCS. As we got to the front door JJ knocked, "DCS! I know you're in there!" I smirked at him before we both jumped in front of the window, scaring John B in the process. JJ laughed, "Gotta, Slick," I laughed, "We got you shithead." JJ and I looked at each other laughing. He leaned over, resting his head on my shoulder for a second. "You should have seen your face-" I laughed, "-Your face was like," I made a face pointing at it so they knew that was what John B looked like.

8 year old Sydney ran around the school yard with a sudden burst of energy. Sydney didn't really have many friends. She had JJ and John B but she never really talked to anyone else. Young JJ Maybank and John Booker Routledge chased after the girl, who was giggling hysterically. JJ felt as though he had a sudden gust of wind and grabbed the girl's arm stopping her. Sydney turned around frowning, "That's not far! You cheated." JJ chuckled, "No I didn't, it's just that you're slow." Sydney rolled her eyes giggling. God JJ loved it when she giggled. Sydney grinned, "I have an idea. Let's chase John B!" JJ laughed, "I like the way you think." JJ and Sydney both turned around and started chasing after John B, who was still running their way. John B quickly turned around and started running the other way. JJ and Sydney laughed as they nearly caught John B. Suddenly JJ was the only one running to catch John B. He stopped, turning around to see the young girl clutching her wrist, sobs and cries of pain leaving her mouth. As tears poured down her face JJ sprinted to her. He looked to see none other than Topper Thornton chuckling. He must have tripped Sydney when she was chasing John B. He wanted to confront him but decided to ignore him and focus on Sydney. As he reached her side, he screamed at John B, "Go get a teacher!" John B nodded, running towards the closest teacher. JJ pulled the girl close to him, being careful not to hurt her, "I'm so sorry. I should have protected you." Sydney shook her head letting her head fall back, her brown locks falling on his shoulder as she nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck. "It's okay J. I promise." JJ nodded, "Broken Bones?" Sydney giggled lightly, "Broken Bones."
