Jo's POV:

"John B will you hurry the fuck up, you've been in there for 30 minutes" I screamed banging the door to their tiny little bathroom in what our dad liked to call the château, though this shack we called a house could hardly be compared to a castle. 

"2 seconds" he called back frustrated

"you've had your 2 seconds, I need to go soon. I'm meeting Kie in less than an hour" I called out still thumping the door with my fist as it swung open in front of me.

"Ma Lady" he said gesturing his arm towards the bathroom. 

"Thanks" I grumbled back before pushing past and slamming the door in his face

"Anytime" 

I hopped in the shower to get the salt out of my hair from this mornings surf and quickly got dressed before racing out of the house.

"I'll be back later" I called out to my brother who was already outside getting the HMS Pouge ready.

"Are you coming back here with Kie?"

"Probably yea, we are just going to the wreck for some food" 

"aw, i want free food" he muttered under his breath

"too bad, its a girls day and you are NFI"

"NFI?"

"Not fucking invited,  Need anything brought back?"

"umm well JJ and Pope will be here soon so probably just beers" 

"JJ is coming?" i groaned

"ugh JJ is coming" he mocked back "yes JJ is coming. Beers, go." 

"whatever, i'll be back in an hour or two" I said before racing out the door.

"You're late" Kie said to me not even looking up from her phone

"its not my fault its my stupid-"

"brothers, yea yea" she laughed back cutting me off.

John B and I have been by ourselves for nearly a year. Our father was lost at sea 9 months ago and is now presumed dead. John B never gave up hope that dad was alive , as for myself, i gave up searching a long time ago.  We are pretty inseparable considering how much we argue but thats what happens when you leave 2 twin 16 year olds alone, it's us against the world. 

"so whats the plans for later tonight" Kie asked me as I sat down.

"John B was saying something about the boys coming over later tonight" i shrugged 

"oh fun, you and JJ arguing all night" she replied back rolling her eyes

"I'm not even kidding Kie, i have no idea what that boy has against me"

"Um maybe cause you always insult him, shove him off the boat, steal his shit and then get your brother to defend you?..... just a guess" 

"mmm nope, mans has had it out for me since day one" i said rocking back on my chair

"Maybe cause your super hot and he can't date you cause no pogue on pogue macking"

"yea no, not that either"

"well maybe you bruised his ego somehow"

"JJ.... a semi-truck couldn't bruise that mans ego" 

"ok very true" she laughed "how about we place a bet for tonight, make it interesting"
