In which a girl is always trapped in the middle. Relationship or Friendship, Kook or Pogue, Dead or Alive, Stay or leave. A story in which Charlie discovers things about herself and her friends. But is it worth it?
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to not fit in entirely? Hi, I'm Charlie and I fit somewhere in the middle as I was born as half kook, half pogues.
If this was a tv show (which would be crazy ;) ) this is how I'd introduce my life...
————-
The Outer Banks, Paradise on Earth.
It's the sort of 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. And then, this is the south side or, the cut.
Home of the working class who make living busing tables, washing yachts, and running charters.
The natural habitat of... drumroll, please...
The Pogues.
But what am I? I guess you can call me a Pook? Or a Kogue? I'm not to sure myself, but maybe you can help me!
Let me introduce you to my friends

So now that you have met everyone you may see why I was born into this dilemma. Although right now that's not important what's important is the current situation I am stuck in.
