Kie and Amelia stayed up late watching movies and hanging out. Anytime the boys got brought up Amelia would immediately divert the conversation because it 'was a girls night', but in reality Amelia couldn't think about JJ without blushing and becoming giddy inside. She wanted to tell kie, but it just felt like really bad timing.
The next morning they woke up to an SOS from Pope, so they got ready and met him at the dock.
"Code red!" Pope called out as they got closer.
"What the hell is going on?" Kie asked
"JJ and john B conked out in the marsh. They need a tow." Pope said. Amelia looked at him suspiciously but he avoided eye contact with her.
"And why do you need us exactly?" She asked him, she did not trust whatever was at play here.
"We need you for mechanical" Pope said a little too quickly.
"Hmm" she said getting on the boat. Pope drove them into the marsh and surely enough there was as still boat.
"JJ and John b are in the alp." He said.
"Can't you guys do anything without us?" Kie asked getting onto the boat. Amelia watched her get on and then looked to pope.
"You're hiding something." She told him.
"I don't know what your talking about. Now go help JJ he's been whining all morning." Pope teased. Amelia looked at pope and he wiggled his eyebrows at her. That fucker already told pope. Amelia got onto the broken boat and heard JJ explaining to kie what was wrong.
"Did you check the plugs?" Amelia asked walking into the small room. JJs face lit up once he saw her and he stood to greet her. Kie kneeled down to go look at whatever was wrong and john B walked out.
"Hey come over here for a second." JJ said and pulled Amelia to the front of the boat, out of view from everyone.
"What are y-" She started before he shut her up with a kiss.
"I need you to stay here while i go and grab something okay?" He said, her eyebrows knit together but she didn't ask any questions. He placed a final peck on her lips and then ran off. She stayed for a couple seconds until she heard him yell,
"Sayonara!" Followed by two splashes in the water. Amelia rushed back to the end of the boat and saw JJ and John B swimming back to the boat pope was on. Kie rushed out and in perfect cue Sarah's voice sounded and was calling out for John B.
"Oh you have to be kidding me" Amelia groaned, finally putting the pieces together. Kie pulled the lid off and out came Sarah.
"What? Wait." She said and quickly climbed out.
"What the hell?"
"Guys!" Kie yelled out. Amelia just stared at the three, planing her revenge in her head.
"Are you serious?" Sarah yelled
"Are you joking?" Kie followed, "Get your asses back here!"
"We can't.. not till you two figure it out." John B shouted back getting onto the boat.
"Why the hell am I here?" Amelia shouted throwing her arms up.
"Mel you need to mediate!" John B replied.
"I will kill every single one of you!"
"Y-you can't just leave!"
"There's food in the cabin and JJ rolled a blunt!" Pope shouted. Amelia scoffed and walked away from the edge, not wasting her energy calling out for them anymore.
"Hydroponic!"
"Mel is going to kill us" pope said to the other two.
"Yes, yes she is" John B said, watching her go and sit down already.
"I'm gonna be in the dog house for days." JJ said lowly to pope.
"Yeah. I would have a gift waiting if i were you." He said clapping JJ on the shoulder.
"Noted"
Amelia watched the two girls bicker and start to strip into their bathing suits. She went through the box of food and pulled out a thing of gummy worms and watched sarah jump in the water.
"That was stupid." She said to herself, watching sarah swim towards nothing. She heard sarah squeal, but honestly couldn't care less. She continued eating her gummy worms and sat bat taking in the sun. Sarah got back onto the boat and had a gnarly sting on her side.
"That looks like it hurts" She commented.
"You swam right into a man-o-war. Don't know what you thought was gonna happen." Kie said also unbothered.
"Thanks for your help guys."
"Your welcome." Amelia smiled and popped another gummy worm in her mouth. Sarah kept complaining and eventually sat down.
"Does it hurt?" Kiara said entertained.
"Hey Kiara. You know what they say... about curing jellyfish stings?"
"No. Mm-mm"
"You have to pee on me"
"I have a better idea" Amelia reached back into the bag and grabbed out the pre-rolled blunt, knowing exactly where her head was at. Now if JJ really loved them he would have left them a few because one was not going to cut it. They sat in a circle and kie lit the blunt taking the first inhale. She passed it to Amelia who took two and then went to pass it to Sarah. Kie snatched it out of Amelia's hands and took another drag.
"Really?" Sarah said and grabbed it out of her hands. She took a long hit
"Go easy. It's JJs cousin's cripple" amelia said watching her inhale. She immediately started coughing up her lungs and Amelia just took the blunt back taking a few hits herself. Kie finished it off, leaving a few more hits for sarah.
"This is gonna be a long night" Amelia said, wishing the affect would kick in quicker.
-
Eventually the sunset and Amelia was feeling good. Her body had a hazy feeling and the nature sounds around her really amplified the affect. Sarah was a giggly mess, but Amelia didn't care, kie however was beyond fed up.
"Hey guess what" Sarah said, looking up at the stars.
"What?" Amelia played along.
"Would you rather.. have- i was imagining you like this just now. It was pretty funny. Would you ima- would you rather have nipples for eyes or eyes for nipples? Imagine you get really old and your nipples. Your boobs get saggy and your nipples, if they were your eyes, you could see if your shoes were untied" Amelia who was sat between the two girls looked at Sarah who was giggling to herself and then over to kie who looked ready to commit murder.
"Is this like your first time smoking or something?" Kie asked judgmentally.
"No" Sarah said. Amelia remembered she was supposed to be mediating so she tried to think of something to say.
"My first time smoking was pretty funny. It was with JJ and John B and they finally let me join in their smoke session. I ended up hysterically crying over a dead bug and they hold it over my head to this day." Amelia said which earned a smile from Sarah. They all fell into an awkward silence while amelia tried to think of something else to say to ease the tension.
"Hey Kiara.." Sarah said quietly
"Oh my god. Enough of the 'hey Kiara!' Bullshit! Why'd you do it?" Kie said, leaving Amelia feeling very out of place. Especially since she was in the middle of them. She didn't know weather to leave or to stay, but honestly she's been waiting to hear this since she met kie.
"Why did i do what?"
"We were best friends. We-we stole beers from your dads fridge. We watched movies together, we cried about boys and the next thing I know i;m watching your birthday party from instagram." Kie said, and so the story unfolds.
"It was one party"
"You invited everybody except me and then you told everybody I was the reason the party got busted." Amelia continued to stare forwards.
"Well who else would have called the cops?"
"You never asked, you just let the rumor go that I was a rat. You were my best friend and then you ghosted me and I don't even know why! I mean really what did i do?" Kie said starting to get worked up.
'You liked me." Sarah said. Amelia accidentally let out a huh.
"What?"
"When people get.. close to me i feel trapped. And.. I bail. And then I blame them for it" Amelia was holding back so many comments. Mainly surrounding the problem that is sarah cameron.
"I'm really sorry... and I miss you" Amelia looked at Kie to try and read her, but she just gazed sadly at the floor.
"Do you think there's a chance we could be okay again?" Sarah asked
"Honestly... i don't know." Kie said, Amelia couldn't bare her awkward presence anymore and stood up deciding to get another snack.
"That- that was good." Amelia said looking at the somber girls still sitting down. Neither of them said anything so amelia just nodded to herself.
"Ok well I'm gonna go to bed." She said laying out her blanket and pillow. The other girls followed in her lead, and once again sandwiched her in the middle. She silently cursed them, sick of feeling so out of place.
"Hey Sarah" Kie said, ruining the nice silence they had going on.
"Hey kiara"
"Hey Amelia" Amelia followed, wanting to feel included for once tonight. Sarah laughed next to her.
"Promise me that you wont bail on John B. He's not just.. some other guy. And he really, really likes you" Kie said.
"I wont" Sarah replied.
"You better not. Or else ill have to wage war against you again." Amelia says trying to lighten the mood.
"Are our kingdoms finally uniting?" Sarah joked at the lifelong hatred for one another.
"Oh god no. A peace offering." Amelia said looking at her. Sarah nodded her head and sent Amelia a sweet smile.
"Also I'm sorry that I called the cops" Kie admitted. Amelia started to laugh and so did Sarah.
"I knew it. I knew it you bitch!
"You should've invited me"
"So you called the cops?" Amelia asked still laughing
"Yes!
-
The next morning the girls were up when the sun rose and waited for the guys to come back. They saw the boat approaching in the distance
"Uh Oh!" Pope called put, still a pretty good distance away.
"You forget your keys or something?"
"You need a tow?" John B played along. Amelia stared at the boys approaching the boat, planning in her head how she was going to get each of them back,
"Don't give them the satisfaction of thinking this worked." Kie said, mainly to Sarah. They were both sat on the ledge and Amelia stood next to them.
"Absolutely not" Sarah agreed.
"You gotta admit it was funny." John B said, now their boat was next to them.
"John B"
"Uh, what's that?"
"Mastermind huh?"
"I'm always planning" He said.
"In that case I hope you already planned your funeral" Amelia said glaring at the boy.
"Amelia i hope you can find it in your heart to forgive us" pope said
"Never"
"Some patriarchal bullshit" kie said
"Yeah that sucked" Sarah added.
"You still love us though, right?" JJ asked with his stupidly charming smile.
"No" Amelia said, sending him a fake smile. He nodded and then threw her the rope to 
"Yeah whatever"
"Hey, you still hate me?" John B asked looking at Sarah.
"A little. We're gonna get you back when you least expect it."
"Watch your back, boys"
"I for one welcome that challenge" Pope said.
"Me too" JJ agreed, looking at Amelia.
"Oh, I wouldn't" Amelia sassily replied to Pope.
"So, did you guys, you know.." Pope started his question and Amelia looked at with furrowed brows. Why did he have to phrase it like that?
"Reconcile our differences?" Kie said.
"mm-mm" Sarah hummed, shaking her head no.
"Not even close." Kie confirmed.
"It was painful" Amelia said to the boys that left her.
"But we're... willing to work together" Sarah said looking over to Amelia and kie.
"You know what? That's a victory" John B exclaimed.
"Yep."
"Wigged-wigged-wigged!" The three boys said at the same time, wiggling their fingers together.
"You know why guys? Hydroponic." JJ said pointing towards Amelia who was now making her way off the boat.
"Don't say that." Pope cringed. JJ came over and tried to offer a hand to Amelia, but she slapped his hands away.
"I will cut your fingers off."
"All right, shut up. You guys ready to jack some loot?" John B says looking at the girls still on the boat and then to Amelia.
They all get onto the boat and john B drives them all back to their houses and that chateau to prepare for tonight.
