One of Two // JJ Maybank

spy games: one

i thought things were complicated. i guess not. sarah could tell something was up as we were checking out at our favorite boutique. "why the sour look?" she asked, grabbing the bags of clothes.

i shrugged, opening the door for her. "i don't know." i replied. "when jj spent the night, it was weird. i barely even know the guy." sarah nodded, having me continue. "i can't just refuse, you know? i'm not that me-"

there was a crash. me and sarah whipped our heads in the direction and of course, john b was groaning on the dirt, in pain. i looked at the bike next to him and rolled my eyes. sarah handed me the bags and rushed over, so did i. "dude." she said. "did you just yeet over that chain?"

the brunette just whined again. i looked down and noticed blood seeping through his shirt as sarah was squatted down next to him. "holy shit. your shirt." i said.

john b looked down and groaned. "oh, wow." he winced. he looked up at sarah. "take me to the hospital, right now."

sarah looked confused as i got out the keys to her car. "right now?' she asked, still confused.

john b wrapped his arm around her shoulder as she helped him up. "yeah, right now." he responded. "that would be fantastic."

i stood next to sarah. "here, take him and i'll find a way home." i said handing her the keys. she smiled and helped john b into the car. i was just happy that she took the bags. i picked up a stick and started walking. i kicked the dirt in front of me and shoved my hands into the pockets of my jean shorts. 

i sighed, looking around, i had made it to a dock and i sat. my feet dangled above the water as the slight crisp breeze hit my face, tossing my hair behind my shoulders. i threw the stick in the swamp and scoffed. i heard footsteps behind me and i didn't bother to look. i felt a presence sit next to me and we sat in silence. i turned my head to see jj copying the position i was sitting in. "what's one of the kook princesses doing sitting on the cut?' he asked.

i scoffed and turned back to the water in front of me. "what are you doing here?" i asked softly.

jj chuckled and fixed his hat that was on backwards. "i just sunk a boat." he said. i widened my eyes and looked at him in shock. he turned back and laughed. "that was sarcastic." i hummed in response, looking down at my feet that were swinging back and forth. "okay, i saw you walking here on my way to heyward's and you looked lonely. so, i thought you could use a little bit of company."

a small smile came across my face and i giggled. "well, thank you." i replied. "that's very sweet, but, i got... kook stuff to do, you know?"

he scoffed. "yeah, kook stuff." he mumbled. i placed my hand on his shoulder to help me get myself up. i saw him look towards me as i smiled and walked away.

the next morning went by pretty quick. i got up, got dressed and ended up going shopping for my midsummers dress. i didn't want to do anything. sarah had been gone the last 24 hours and i was starting to get worried. i heard my door open and sarah walked in quietly, shutting the door behind her. she had a huge smile on her face and her clothes were wet from the rain. "you will not believe what just happened." she said.

i tilted my head and looked up and down. "hmmm." i sat there for a second observing her little jumps and huge smile. "you kissed someone." she nodded and let me continue. "do i know this, newcomer?"

she rolled her eyes and nodded. "john b." she said. my mouth fell open. "i sort of helped him with some treasure hunt and i had such an amazing time. then we kissed."

i chuckled. "good for you." i replied. i sat on my bed as sarah tossed her backpack on my floor. "i ran into jj at the dock yesterday."

sarah tilted her head to the side, looking confused. "that's john b's best friend right?' she asked. i nodded. "what did he have to say after the whole gun fiasco."

i shrugged. "not much really." she hummed and laid down on my bed. "i just thought it was weird."
