I was sitting on the dock crying my eyes out because my mom just kicked me out for not wanting to be a rich ass kook anymore until these teens drive their boat over to me "hey are you ok" the boy with the bandana asked me. I wiped my tears quickly "yeah yeah I'm fine" I said shakily " what happened" asked the girl curiously. "well my parents kicked me out bc I told them I hated being a kook" I sighed "omg that's horrible my parents did that to me too" said the girl. "Wait are you liv?!" She said looking at me curiously. "Wait kiara!?" I said looking up and smiling. "Ahh omg hiii" she said hugging me. "Where do u know her from?" The blonde boy asked. "Kook academy" we said in sync. We had a laugh. "do u wanna come hang with us?" said the cute blonde boy almost immediately "um sure if u don't mind ofc" I said standing up. "we don't mind at all do we guys" said the blonde boy "no ofc not!" everyone said "great!" The blonde boy helped me onto the boat "there you go cupcake" he said sending me a cheeky grin. I felt my face heat up. I asked for all of their names and there's : kiara Carrera or kie ofc, JJ maybank is the blonde boy, John booker routlege is the one with the bandana but people call him bree, and pope heyward is the one with the brain. "It's nice to meet y'all" I said smiling. "So what are you guys doing in the marsh I thought it was closed" I said confused. "We always come down here even if it's closed" jhon b said laughing. "I have questions" JJ said in a posh accent. I laughed "ok ask away romeo" "ok so first what's it like being a kook" he said "absolutely shit to be honest" I said smiling sarcastically " ok as I thought and also I hope you don't mind me asking what are all those bruises on ur face?" He said quietly. "JJ you can't just ask someone that it's rude" said jhon b sharply. "no Routelege it's fine honestly dude, we'll JJ my answer to that is I have abusive parents" I told them straight up. "Oh really,same I'm so sorry to hear that" he said his voice shaking a bit "nah it's not ur fault" I said. "So where do u guys live again?" I said. "Oh we live on the cut bc yk were pouges" said pope. "Omg really I have always wanted to see the cut but my parents never let me because of the 'dirty pouges'. " I said excitedly. "well we are here so u can explore now" JJ helped me off the boat. "Nice place jhon b" I said "u don't need to pretend I know it's a shithole" said John b laughing. "No honestly It's actually really cute and cozy" I stared at his house in awe and as everyone ran inside JJ wrapped his arm around me and whispered in my ear "welcome to the pouge life princess, your a pouge now" I blushed and whooped loudly. "Damn calm down girl" JJ said laughing "sorry" I said. " it's ok but do u wanna smoke weed and drink" said JJ with no mercy. "I have never done it but I've got nothing to lose man soo LETS GET SHITFACED TONIGHT BABYYY" I screamed. "WHAT SHE SAID" shouted JJ. A few hours later I was super drunk and I said this *i got on the table and said* "hey guys I just wanna make a quick announcement, this is the happiest I have been in a really long time so thank you for that, oh yeah and also JJ ur super hot" then I blacked out that's all I could remember until the next morning. I woke up on a bed next to JJ. I sat up and said "oh hi JJ!" I said quickly "hey" he said softly. " omg I feel like shit what happend last night I don't remember anything but I bet I was super drunk" I said with a groan. "Um yh u rlly were u stood on the table saying that we were the best people ever and your happy to be a pouge and all that shit" said JJ giggling. "Stop laughing that is actually so not funny" I said chucking a pillow at him. "Oh yeah and also you said that I was super hot" JJ said trying not to laugh. "Oh shit." I said blankly "did I really say that?" I said shoving my face into a pillow with embarrassment. "Yeah you did" said JJ " oh my godddd, I mean I'm not saying it's not true I mean-" I was interrupted my JJ kissing my cheek. "JJ I-" "shhh" JJ said "you don't need to say anything but you can answer this question please, do u really love me?" Said JJ with a sweet smile. "Umm yeah ik we only met like a day ago but yh" I sat there thinking of what I just said. "I think I love you too" JJ said grinning. "Soo are we official?" I said happily. He grabbed my face and kissed me. "Does that answer your question?" He said laughing "yeh" I said giggling. "You guys are so gross" said kie from behind. "JESUS CHRIST KIE" I shouted. "Sorry liv!" Said kie laughing and running off. "JJ stop laughing!" i jabbed him in the arm with my elbow. I heard kie shouting outside "LIVS MACKING ON JJ" over and over. I ran outside "kie are you crazy!" I shouted. Jhon b ran up to me. " R U MACKING ON JJ" he shouted. "YEAH IM MACKING ON JJ HES HOT DUDE" I shouted back. " ok that's fine just take good care of mah boi, this is the only time I'm letting the rule slip" he said in an accent "I will sir and also what's the rule?" I said in the same accent. "Oh she doesn't know the rule" said jhon b sounding sarcastically shocked. "No I don't now tell me" I said. "The rule is no pouge on pouge macking" jhon b said sounding like a mother. "I'm only letting it slide bc u two are adorable" jhon b said looking like a proud parent. "I know right" said JJ behind me. I looked up and him and smiled he kissed me on the head. " anyone wanna go for a spin on the pouge? Said JJ loudly. "HELL YEAH" everyone screamed back.
