CHAPTER EIGHT - BULLSEYE

"This is empty. You took empty tanks?" Kie frowned, looking through the gear that John B had stolen "Okay, this one's a quarter full. It's enough for one of us"

"Love it when a plan comes together" Pope said sarcastically as he crossed his arms.

"Does anybody know how to drive?" Kiara asked but nobody said anything "Anybody?"

"It's kind of a kook sport" JJ shrugged causing Kiara to roll her eyes.

"I-I read about it"

"Great, Pope read about it, so someone's gonna die"

"Look, you put the thing in your mouth and breathe. How hard could it be?" JJ asked the brainy person in the group.

"If you come up too fast, nitrogen gets into your blood, and you get the bends" Pope replied.

"Bends like, bend over and-"

"The bends kill you" Eleanor cut straight to the chase as she rolled her eyes at the boy. She remembered Tej giving her a quick diving lesson before going out on the boat with Brian. How she missed them days.

JJ nodded and slowly stood up "Right"

Eleanor sighed "Okay, fine I can dive"

"You can dive?" Kiara asked, looking at the brown haired girl.

"Yeah, my uncle Brian taught me a while back but I didn't say anything cause I really didn't want to do it but it looks like I'm doing it anyway" She rambled.

"So your diving? I'm cool with that"

Eleanor glared at the blonde "Thanks JJ for caring. Appreciate it so much" She said, sarcasm dripping from every word.

"Let me do some calculations real quick" Pope stood up, grabbing a pad of paper and a pen before scribbling something down.

"You serious?" JJ frowned "Oh yeah he's serious"

"That boat's around thirty feet down. Okay, so it'll take twenty five minutes at that depth. Which means you need to make your safety stop at about. . .ten feet"

"And that Pope is why you were on the math team but it's not over thirty feet so really I don't need to make a safety stop" Eleanor stopped herself as she frowned "Oh god I'm starting to sound like Tej"

"Who's Tej?"

"One of my parent's good friends" Eleanor replied to JJ as she started to fill her BCD with air "Now JB, would you mind giving me a hand?"

"I don't mind giving you a hand!"

"JJ I swear to god I will run you over with my car so fast you won't even see my headlights coming" She threatened.
