Fade into you ➯JJ Maybank

Pilot/part one

We're the pogues and are mission this summer is to have a good time, all the time.

John b was on the roof of the house in progress, slowly swinging his foot, testing fate. "Thats what, a three story fall from the deck? I give u about a 1-3 chance of survival."Pope exclaims. John b tests the winds jokingly "Should I do it?" "Yeah you should jump, I'll shoot you on the way down." Holding up the drill. "Your gonna shoot?" John b question holding finger guns.
"There gonna have Japanese toilets with towel warmers" Kiara says visibly annoyed. "Of course they are why wouldn't they" JJ says. "This used to be a turtle habitat, but who cares about the turtles I guess?" "hey Kie it's fucked up, we know but it's the world we live in." I say sadly "well it doesn't have to be!" Kie says fed up.
"I can't have cold towels" JJ says receiving him a slap in the chest from Mari, he dramatically acts like ur hurt. "Oh shut up" I say, he laughs and put his arm around me.
"Can u please not kill yourself?" Kie says "don't spill that beer, I'm not givin you another one" JJ states.
And before you know it John be spills the beer. "Course he did like right when I told you not to" "smooth"
"It's expected at this point"
"NOOOO"John b shouts dramatically
"A plus"
"Dumbass"
Pope look behind the house "hey!" the security shouts. "Hey uh securities here... let's wrap it up" Pope says. "Boys are early today" "humpty dumpty, let's roll". JJ reaches his hand out toward Mari, "m'lady?". Mari looks up at him and grabs his hand.
"Gary is that you?" JJ taunts "are u trying to get caught or something?" Mari says to JJ,"Gary good to see ya man!" JJ says clearly not listening. "Yeah your just asking for it" Kiara laughs.
They all start running through the house laughing and yelling.
'Ah this is summer' I think to myself
They where almost out of the house, i started to become cornered by the security, JJ tan by and tapped his shoulder to distract them so I could run free. The security guard gabbed a hold of JJ but he rigged himself out of it, "not much of a hugger man". Pope, JJ and Mari were running towards the gate frantically. "Go Pope, go, go go go go go go" JJ hurry's. They all jump over the gate, Pope falling over. "Get up Pope, fastos comin".
"Come here ya little pricks!" Security shouts, "bus is leaving!" John b honks. They all jump into the Twinkie laughing while security chases the van.
"Check out Garry gunnin for a raise!" Pope jokes
"Wait slow down" ."JJ says while he stuck his arm out the van holding a beer to taunt the poor ol' security guard."Stop your gonna give him a heart attack." Kie says. He throws it out "oh come on that sort of initiative is just begging to be punished."
"I hate running,it really isn't my thing" I joke

The outer banks. Paradise on earth. It's the sorta place where you either have two jobs or two houses, two tribes, one island. All right. This is figure eight, the rich side of the island. Home of the kooks... so guess where we don't live. And then this is the south side or the cut. Home of the working class who makes a living busing tables, washing yachts, running charters. The natural habitat of... drumroll, please... the pouges. That's us. Pogues, Pogies, the throwaway fish, lowest member of the food chain. Okay so the downside of pogue life is we're ignored and neglected, The upside of pogue life is we're ignored and neglected, which means we do whatever we want, whenever we want.
That's JJ one of my best friends since the 3rd grade he's about as local as the come. Latest in a long line of fishing, drinking, smuggling, vendetta-holding salt-lifers who made their living off the water. Best suffer I know. I've also had a things for him for a while, I think he does to. Just don't tell him I said that. Mild kleptomaniac and a future tax cheat.

And that's Kiara, or Kie as we call her. When she not saving turtles or listening to Marley it getting a dolphin tattoo, she hangs out with us. I'm not really sure why, though. So, she's a rich kid, actually. Foot in both worlds. Get family owns the Wreck, which is this outer banks institution. Total cabs cow with the tourists. You know I'm not really sure how her parents feel about the boys? They love me though. All the boys totally have a thing for her, I mean look at her.

And that's Pope, the brains of the operation. Finalist for the Lucas T Vanderhorst Merit scholarship. And the smartest person I know. Little but if a weirdo. Alright so his father is this legendary character, Heyward. Anything you want in the island, Heyward could get it for you. One time my Grandma really wanted this chocolate you can o my get in Brazil and the man got it for her. Now, I'm not sure Heyward knew what to make of his oddball son, but it didn't matter. He was a pogue, just like the rest of us.

Then there's John b, John booker Routledge. We also met us the third grade. He lives in an old fishing shack in the marsh the Château, as he calls it. He's had it rough, his dad disappeared as sea nine months ago, looking for a shipwreck. U can tell how much he misses him. And his mom split when he was three he doesn't really know where she off to. His uncle, uncles T is his legal guardian and is meant to be living with him. Right now he's in Mississippi, building houses, at least that what he tells us. Which means it's just John b right now. In his own, hangin' with us. John b is that natural leader. Always have been. John b still believes his dead is missing he doesn't want to sign the papers stating his death. I do want to believe he's just missing but at this point I don't know.
Anyway that my crew.

Then there's me Marie sol Santos, most people call me Mari. I was born in Brazil and moved to the US with my mom and grandma and when I was three. I soon joined the no parents club. For one I never knew my dad I apparently met him when I was two but shit I don't remember. Soon after we moved here my mom ran away with her boyfriend at the time. She hasn't come back since. So it's just me and my Grandma. I really lover her. Anyway I grew up in the cut and still live here. I'm a lover at heart, people pleaser, I'm always trying to do the right thing. My life is the Pogues. Ya' gotta love em'.
