CHAPTER THREE
Ⅲ. Man-Child.
"She's a bad influence Kiara!" I hear JJ's voice tell Kiara who is unaware of how loud he is being. "Thats rich, JJ you are the last person I expected that from." She spat back at him.
"Kie, You told me you wanted to stop smoking and now here you are, I'm just confused is all." he shot at her, "Well, I appreciate your concern, Mom but I assure you I'm fine."
Kiara and John B invited me to hang out with everyone at his house, formally known as the Château, but I lingered outside before knocking on the door, I knew that what they talk about isn't my business and eaves dropping is bad and all, but what they talk about becomes my business when they are talking about me.
"Whatever you say." JJ sighs, admitting defeat and allowing the stubborn girl to win the argument, that was my queue that I was allowed to enter.
When I walked in everyone was there, Kiara, JJ, John B and who I can only assume is Pope, based off the information Kiara told me, The whole room fell silent, unsure on how much I heard of the conversation, I chose to pretend I didn't hear anything.
"Hey guys." I break the silence with a smile, Kiara, John B and Pope returned the smile while JJ rolled his eyes like a snotty kid.
"Hey Vi!" Kiara gleamed, "Pope this is Violet, she just moved here, Vi this is Pope, The brainy one." she introduced us to each other.
Pope stood up from the couch he was sat on and walked a few steps towards me and shook my hand, "Pope Heyward, Nice to meet you." He said smiling at me, I smile back, pretending JJ's glare isn't burning a hole into the back of my head, "Likewise." I reply to Pope.
I turn around to look at JJ who obviously isn't too pleased with my presence, he continues to scowl at me, I purse my lips into a line hoping for him to stop staring at me but he doesn't, Kiara obviously picked up on this awkward encounter and tries her best to put an end to it.
"Soo... What do you guys wanna do?" She says to nobody in particular, Pope who also is feeling a weird vibe shrugs his shoulders "m'not sure." He replies, helping out a ton, "Really helpful, Thank you, Pope."
"Well, obviously nobody is aware of the hurricane that is about to hit us." John B shoots.
It appears that life has gotten me a welcome to Outer banks present! they really shouldn't have.
"I was not aware, I am now." JJ points at his friend, finally tearing his eyes away from only to glare right back at me like I murdered his first born child a few seconds after he shut his mouth, at this point all I want to do is ask him what his problem is but I just inserted myself into his friend group, maybe he just doesn't like change?
You can tell just by the wind outside that a storm is coming, we start helping John B fix everything to the ground so nothing doesn't blows away.
Once we get back inside, Kiara retrieves 5 beer bottles from the fridge, having to take multiple trips too and from the fridge, She hands them out to each of us. I happily take the cold glass bottle, opening it with my teeth, still aware that I am being watched, Jesus Christ is there nothing else he could be doing? he's stressing me the fuck out.
I take a big sip of the cheap beer, swallowing the alcohol causing me to grimace, I've never been a beer girl.
I turn my head to look at JJ to see he's glaring at me, no surprises there.
"Hello?" I speak to him, wrong decision i regret even opening my mouth. "What." He spits at me.
"You've been glaring at me this whole time. Did I do something to you?" I ask genuinely, I must be really unlikeable if i've made enemies this quick.
It took JJ a while to say anything back, he just sighed, "When are you going to stop following us around?" He shot at me out of spite, not genuine curiosity. I feel my cheeks start to flush red, I hate being yelled at, I press my hand to my cheek, feeling the heat on my cold hands.
"JJ!" Kiara intervenes, "It's fine Kie, obviously JJ the child didn't get his way for once in his life." I say to Kiara but it was really just a dig at the blond bratty boy.
I watch JJ move his tongue over his teeth but I show no reaction, "Do you even have a reason why you don't like me?" I ask again hoping this time I'll get an answer.
"I have many." He spits with a smug look on his face "Kie just wont let me say them."
I make eye contact with Kiara who give me a apologising smile, "You think I'm a bad Influence? that's it?" I question, keeping my voice calm, something JJ is unable to do.
Kie, Pope and John B tease up, realising that I did in-fact hear the conversation they had before I entered the room but JJ Maybank was relentless, he kept at it.
"That's one of the reasons, yes!" the boy admits. "So what else?" I ask to no reply, It seems he's run out of witty replies.
"No i'm curious, what are the many assumptions you've made about me in the span of a day of knowing me?" I say, standing up from the couch and crossing my arms, waiting for the list of things that make me an unbearable person but it never comes, I shut him up.
"I'm gonna go Kie, I'll see you later." I smile at the girl. "Hope you get to bed on time, grumpy." I yell over my shoulder at JJ before walking out of the Château.
Once I'm outside I can finally breath without feeling suffocated by JJ and his negative energy, I don't realise how hot it was in that house until i'm outside in the dark, cold night.
authors note
