Enemies To Lovers

Chapter 5

As we were standing there, hugging, I was doing my best not to burst into tears. I was too tired for that and I didn't want the others to see it. "Can we keep this between us?" I asked. "Well.. I really think you should tell-" JJ started, but I interrupted him. "No, JJ..." "Alright, I won't tell the others..." He said and hugged me a little tighter. "Why did you-" He started, but got interrupted by John B getting back up on the boat. JJ quickly pushed me away, I almost fell over. I was a little shocked, but I just sat back down and crossed my arms, looking at Pope and Kiara having fun in the water. "Hey, what did I miss? Were you two just hugging?" John B said with a frown. "And why did you push away Daph like that?" He added. "What? Hugging? I'd never hug Rogers.. I'd rather get stabbed in the chest than even get close to her, I was just messing around..." JJ said. I almost got a little hurt by what he said. Would he really rather get stabbed in the chest than getting close to me? Wow, that was low. Really, really low. I understood that he didn't want John B to know that he was hugging me since we're supposed to be enemies or whatever, but did he really have to be that dramatic about it? I just went back to watching Pope and Kiara have fun in the water, they were really close. Was there maybe something going on between them? No, it couldn't be, right? No pogue on pogue macking, that was the rules, right?... Right?... But there really seemed to be something going on between them. As I was watching them, I heard John B talking to someone.. I recognized the other voice.. it was a kook... Topper Thornton. Topper and his girlfriend Sarah Cameron. The kook princess. Sarah, Kiara and I used to be friends, until she had her birthday party... she invited everyone, literally everyone but me and Kie. And she had changed so much... I hated the new Sarah, I really missed the old one. Sarah's dark brown eyes met my ocean blue eyes. I felt the disgust running through my body, just looking at what she was doing. This wasn't the Sarah I knew. Ever since she stared dating Topper, she changed so much. Yuck. And Topper always thought he was so much better than everyone else cause he had a fancy boat. Typical kooks. Sure, I was born a kook, but I wasn't a spoiled brat. "What are you dirty pogues doing here? And Daph, Kie, why won't you just act like normal kooks and hang our with us?" Topper asked. "First of all, we're not dirty and it's not like we're not allowed to be here. Second of all, if Daph and Kie wants to hang out with us, that's their choice." John B said. "Yeah? Hey Daph, which one is screwing you? John B? Pope? Or maybe JJ?" Topper said with a filthy smirk. I wish I could just wash that smirk off his ugly face. "Your dad!" I said sarcastically and rolled my eyes, looking away again. Topper just scoffed, muttered something to himself and drove away with his girlfriend and that fancy boat of his. Soon, Kiara and Pope also got back up on the boat, we all had a good time. Or, almost all of us. That big, bright smile and those dimples on my face, that soft laugh, was fake. I was sweating my ass off in the hoodie and I just wanted to cry. Just thinking of the fact that I'd have to go back home tonight, gave me anxiety.
