Chapter Sixteen
Coo-coos Nest

The Pogues all stood around, making a fire as the realization of what they just did just set in to three of the five kids.

"Hey, guys. So, like, my dads already gonna kill me. So what's this mandatory meeting about?" Pope asked as he put on a log.

"Yeah, my parents had that "she's going to boarding school" look in their eyes but this time I think they might do it," Stella muttered as she paced around.

JJ laughed, "yeah! They gave me that look when I stole Casey Cain's pink sparkly recorder!" Stella just pointed to him and nodded.

The girl continued to pace, very close to the fire, muttering about tiny things as her friends stared in exasperation. "I mean, I broke a promise. Perez' don't break promises!" She then continued to rant in Spanish so no one could understand her.

Pope finally had enough and grabbed her arm to pull her closer. He then grabbed her waist and pulled her onto his lap. "Stel, I love you but please shut up."

Stella's face was bright red as their friends stared at her with smirks on their faces. "Uh, yeah, yeah," she whispered and leaned into him more.

"Uh, okay," JJ muttered with furrowed brows. "Might as well tell him, man, before we get gaffed," he said to John B who nodded.

John B smirked, "you ready for this?"

Stella rolled her eyes and flailed her arms, "uh, duh!"

John B laughed, "so, the gold never went down with the Royal Merchant."

Pope groaned and leaned forward, over Stella's shoulder, "oh, my god. Here we go again with this," his tone was snarky and condescending and it made Stella playfully hit his arm. The boy just wrapped his arms around her tighter.

"No," JJ came to his best friend's rescue. "All right, wait. Hear him out, all right?"

Stella nodded her head, "I'm listening, JB."

John B winked at her before resting his hand on his chin in a mock seriousness way. (Lol that sentence made no sense I am so sleep deprived) "it's been here the whole time."

Stella gasped dramatically and sunk into Popes arms, "no effing way!"

JJ pointed at her, "way, dude! Also your high," he said making her giggle.

"Un poquito."

"It's on the island," John B said, trying to revert the conversation back to the main topic.

"Are you serious?" Kie asked harshly. It was clear she was very hesitant in believing the boy this time. When John B only raised his eyebrows in response, she laughed in disbelief, "oh my god."

"I'd like to voice my skepticism," Pope stated as everyone looked away in annoyance.

"I'm sure you would, Pope," John B said bitterly. "But can I please present you with my evidence, sir?" He voiced in a fancy accent.

"Proceed," Pope always have in when he used that stupid accent.

"All right. So, in my backpack," John B pulled out a piece of paper and showed it to everyone. "I have a letter from Denmark Tanny."
