You may be wondering why I hate Sarah Cameron. I mean, she is a Kook but her and I haven't had a good past.

You see, before the Kook and Pogue rivalry was actually a thing, I dated her older brother. Rafe Cameron.

Yep, you're reading that right.

Rafe.

I didn't know what kind of person he really was at the time. But, let's just say, Sarah did not like me around.

For some reason, from the beginning, she never liked me. I was happy with Rafe... kind of, but she kept trying to break us up and get me out of their lives. I have no idea why though, because I never did anything to her.

Even though Rafe isn't a good person, I still hate Sarah for trying to break up my relationship.

Like, what the hell did I do to her?

I couldn't even imagine how happy she would've been when we broke up.
===================================
The five of us are hanging out at John B's place. We all sit in his backyard and do our own thing.

"Look, I'm calling it off. Alright?" John B begins. "Peterkin said, if I stay out of the marsh, she'll help me with DCS."

"And you believed her?" JJ questions, throwing a rock towards the water.

"Yes, I believe her, JJ." John B answers with sass.

"An actual cop, John B? You believed a cop." JJ comments.

"Look, all I gotta do is stay out of the marsh for a couple days, and she will help me out. It doesn't help that your ass was the one shooting a gun!" John B exclaims.

"You know what I should've done, Man? I should've just let Topper drown your ass." JJ adds.

"Yeah, because Topper was gonna drown me?" John B responds, not really sounding convinced.

Is he serious?

"Sure looked like it. I mean have you looked in the mirror lately?" JJ adds.

"Ha, that's funny. Keep going. Come on." John B speaks sarcastically. "Tell me some more. Come on."

"They always win, don't they, Man? Kooks versus Pogues. They always, always win! Goddamn!" JJ exclaims, getting frustrated and throwing another rock into the marsh.

"Look, it's okay!" Kie jumps in.

"No it's not okay!" JJ fires back. "It is not! They don't want us to go down into the marsh. That means there is something valuable down there, and you know it, Man. I know you do."

JJ continues pointing to John B as he speaks, trying to prove his point.

"Look, I understand why you don't wanna go, Pope. You're the golden boy. You got way too much to lose. And you, Kie... I mean, you're already rich as fuck anyway. Why would you bother?" JJ continues. "But you, me and Y/n, we got nothin' to lose! We really don't, all right?"

"JJ..." I mumble.

"And I know, it didn't used to be that way for either of you." JJ keeps going.

"I don't want to talk about this. I don't wanna talk about it." John B speaks up, starting to walk away angrily.

"So, that's it?" JJ asks.

"Just get out of my way, Bro!" John B yells, pushing JJ to the side.

"John B, listen to me. I have a plan. You got the key to Cameron's big boat, right?" JJ informs.
