- THIRD PERSON POV -
"I'm just saying, I just... I don't understand why you at least try with Y/n. She clearly likes you. She's like, 'Oh, John B'." JJ speaks with a higher voice, imitating Y/n, once again. "She's sketching about you diving, and then she kissed you, Bro!"

"She kissed me on the cheek. It's not like we were making out or something." John B argues.

"Low-hanging fruit, Bro. Don't pretend that you don't notice. I see it in your eyes. Your like 'I kinda like that', and then you start blushing and shit." JJ adds in.

"I blush?" John B questions.

"Yeah." JJ replies while nodding and chuckling softly.

"Man, you're the one always all over her. Why don't you date her?" John B asks.

"Because she obviously likes you!" JJ answers, trying to cover up his side.

"Whatever." John B mumbles and rolls his eyes.

JJ reaches out and picks up the compass that is laying in front of him. John B gets protective and tries to snatch the compass off of him.

"Hey, don't—" John B exclaims.

"I was just looking at it!" JJ yells back, pushing John B away. "I gotta admit, your father's compass in Scooter's boat, that's freaky."

"Yeah. And that's why we're going to talk to Ms. Lana, figure this whole thing outm" John B replies, keeping his eyes on the road.

"And I'm sure she would just love to talk to us. It's not like her husband just drowned or anything." JJ mumbles sarcastically.

John B and JJ make their way to Ms. Lana Grubb's house in the Twinkie.

Meanwhile, Y/n, Pope and Kie stay back on the main land.
===================================
- Y/NS POV -
"But you know the rule, Kie! Pogues can't mack on other pogues!" I exclaim.

"Yeah, but who has ever followed that rule? And besides everyone can see the way you two look at each other, and the way you act around each other." Kie pushes me. I roll my eyes at her statement. "Like, just go for it. Just ask John B."

"But Kie..." I mumble.

"But, what? There is nothing to think about!" Kie cuts me off.

"I mean, I guess you're right" I whisper, shrugging my shoulders a little.

Maybe I should just talk to John B about how I feel...

"And then, we were right outside like this. And all we hear is just BAM BAM BAM!" JJ tells, imitating what has just apparently happened to him and John B.

John B and JJ went to Ms. Lana's house this morning and apparently those men who chased us through the marsh yesterday were there and were hurting and abusing her.

"Knocking paint off the wall, G! From the inside. All right? And I'm just looking at him, like— wait, first off, look at this shit. Look at it!" JJ continues, rubbing his hands through his hair and small bits of paint coming out.

"That's dandruff.. disgusting." Kie mumbles.

"Okay, thank you. Yep." Pope comments sarcastically, pushing JJ away.

"Look at all that. Alright? That's paint." JJ adds. "At that point, I was just, like... I'm waiting for death."

"Oh, okay, so you saw the guys that shot at us, right?" Pope asks.
