It was my first day in Outer Banks when I met my best friends. My parents had just moved here for their new jobs, and I was terrified of leaving my old hometown. But then, I realized that this town and the people I grew closer to would become my new home.

The sun was shining brightly, casting a golden glow over the glistening waves. As I walked along the beach, excited for my first Outer Banks sunset, laughter and excitement filled the air, catching my eye. I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

To my left, I spotted the group of friends I had noticed earlier, Kiara, John B, Sarah & Pope huddled together near the water's edge. Their carefree spirits were evident in their smiles and playful banter. And then, my gaze fell upon who i now know as Jj Maybank - my best friend. His vibrant personality shone through even from a distance. His eyes sparkled with mischief, and his infectious energy drew me in.

As I approached the group, my heart raced with a mix of nerves and curiosity. I introduced myself, feeling an instant connection with these free-spirited individuals. I put on my usual act of confidence, and soon enough, I was welcomed into their family.

I'm so glad I had the courage to go over to them that day.

Their warmth and acceptance made me feel like I had known them forever. Jj, with his quick wit and infectious laughter, stood out among the group. There was an undeniable magnetism about him that captivated me. We exchanged playful banter and shared stories, our connection growing stronger with each passing moment.

Little did I know that this chance encounter would mark the beginning of a lifelong friendship. From that day forward, the Pogues became my chosen family, and Jj, a person who would forever hold a special place in my heart.

As the waves crashed against the shore and the sun began to set, we laughed and danced in the fading light. It was a moment I would cherish forever, a symbol of the beautiful journey we were about to embark on together.
