I decided that I'm cool with everything that's been going on. I'm cool with JJ liking me, I'm cool with John B moving on. I'm cool with everything.

John B and JJ apologised to each other, thank god. They both felt really bad for getting angry at each other. I'm glad they're okay again.

Kie also convinced me to go to the movies with her and the boys tonight. I didn't really want to go, but I agreed to it, and now I'm excited.

For some weird reason, John B is nowhere to be seen. I haven't seen him since him and JJ decided they were good.

I wonder where he could be...
===================================
Kie and I march onto the grassy outdoor movie theatre area, the boys tagging along behind us. Neither of them are very excited to be here.

"I'm so glad they're still doing this." Kie begins.

"Me too." I speak excitedly.

"Keep calm. Carry on." Kie adds.

"Back to OBX life." I comment.

"Yeah. Aren't you guys glad that we made you come?" Kie questions, turning around to the boys.

"Ecstatic." Pope replies, extremely sarcastically.

"My couch was pretty comfy, I'll be honest." JJ answers truthfully. I giggle at his statement.

We all find a clear spot and place all our stuff down. JJ sets up 2 chairs, one for me and one for him. Pope and Kie sit on the ground.

"We're out of the green zone, Man." Pope whispers to JJ.

"Dude, tranquilo, okay?" JJ responds, leaning in close to Pope.

"We're in the middle of Kooklandia. This is the last place I wanted to be." Pope adds.

"Shut up, Pope." JJ speaks, shushing Pope.

Kie walks off to get us all a drink and some popcorn to share. The boys and I continue setting up.

Kie comes back and hands our drinks to all of us. She hands me and JJ a bucket of popcorn to share, and her and Pope one to share.

"Just saw Rafe, and he said, and I quote, 'Tell your boy that we know what he did'." Kie informs, making me immediately panic. "What is that?"

Pope looks to JJ nervously. I try to stay quiet, letting the boys handle this one.

"Um.. where is he?" JJ questions.

"Right there." Kie looks behind her. We all turn around to where Kie is looking. Rafe, Topper and Kelce are all staring at us, extremely deadly.

"Great, the whole death squad." Pope comments.

"Don't stare, Bro." JJ orders, turning Pope's head back around. "Just warning you, bro... if they corner me, I'm coming out swinging, okay? Slice and dicin'. I'm on edge right now, alright?"

"Yeah, yeah." Pope nods in understanding.

"If that doesn't work, I got this right here." JJ continues, while holding up his backpack. I immediately realise he is referring to the gun.

"Yeah, yeah. So, we just gotta stay in the group, like a school of fish." Pope responds.

"They can't get us in the group." JJ adds.

"I'm sorry, JJ... please tell me you did not bring a gun here. JJ, there are kids!" Kie interrupts, getting frustrated.

"No, Kie, I didn't bring the gun, all right? Everything's fine, okay?" JJ answers with a tone.
