The pogues let everyone know that a kegger was happening in the boneyard. Word spread fast and the boneyard started filling up quickly.

Teens from all over the island made their way there. Pogues, kooks, and tourons all mingled together. The only time everyone would get along despite their social class.

JJ and Estrella linked their arms together as they raced to chug their beer. Estrella throws her cup down as a couple of teens cheer around them.

JJ laughs as he finishes. He gives her a high five linking their fingers before letting go. He jumps up on the tree before losing his balance. Estrella laughs as he comes down.

"Estrella!" Kie calls out as she walks over. Estrella looks over and notices the scowl on her face.

"What's up, Kie?" She asks concerned

"Why is Sarah here?"

Estrella frowns before Kie nods her head toward the girl. Estrella looks over and sees Kiara's "enemy", Sarah, with her boyfriend.

"How am I supposed to know, Kie? I didn't invite her." Estrella chuckles

"She shouldn't be here." Kie rolls her eyes

"It's a kegger, Kie. We invited everybody. Just enjoy it, it's not that big of a deal." Estrella shrugs before turning back to JJ.

"JJ. Let's go again." She says

"You're on, baby." He says before they walk over to fill their cups again

______________________________________

It had been a couple of hours since the kegger started. It was dark out now and a lot of teens were definitely drunk. John B and Estrella walked together as JJ walked over to them.

"John B." JJ calls out

"What're you doing?" He says as they stop

"Yo, what's up? I got this for you. Want it?" He says holding out a beer

"For me? Yeah, I'll take a sip."

"Oh, wait. Hey, hey. Hey, Sarah!" JJ yells. Sarah stops, "Sarah, can I interest you in a tasty Milwaukee beverage?"

"No, thanks." She smiles

"Is it not fancy enough for you?"

"No. We were just leaving."

"Hey, you know what? I'll take it." Her boyfriend says, "I'll... Thank you, man. I appreciate it."

"That's nice suggestion there, Topper, but I didn't ask you." JJ says, "If you said pretty please, maybe, but you didn't."

"Oh, pretty please."

"Yeah." He nods before turning back to the girl, "Sarah."

"Pretty please?"

"You can have it." JJ says. Topper hits the cup sending the beer all over JJ and some on Estrella.

"She doesn't want it, you..." He's cut off by JJ grabbing his shirt and pushing him back.

"Okay." Sarah says holding Topper back. John B hurries to push JJ back.

"No, no, no, no."

"You're so funny, man." JJ snaps

"JJ." Estrella says as Pope and Kie walk up

"Hey." John B says

"Dirty Pogues!" Topper yells. John B turns and pushes him.

"Oh!"

"John B. We're supposed to be incognito, remember?" Pope says

"Babe, babe, babe, babe..." Sarah tries, but Topper punches John B anyway sending him to the ground.

"Oh my god." Estrella says. Pope struggles with holding JJ back.

"Guys? Guys! Chill!" Sarah yells as Topper kicks John B in his stomach

"Hey, John B, don't make me drown you like your old man, all right?" Topper says

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

John B gets up and tackles Topper into the water.

"Give it to him!"

"John B, let it go!" Pope yells

"Stop, you guys!" Kie says

"Topper! Stop!" Sarah yells

"John B." Estrella says from beside JJ

Kie holds her hands to her head as the boys keep fighting. Estrella pushing her hair back as the boys circle each other.

"Come on, John B!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"

John B punches Topper sending him stumbling back.

"That's what I'm talkin' about!" JJ yells

"Come on!" John B yells

"Yeah, you wanna go?" Topper says before punching him.

"Stop!" Kie yells, "John B!"

John B takes Topper and flips him into the water.

"Oh! Topper!" Sarah yells

"Come on, Topper! Let's go! Come on!" John B yells

Topper gets up and swings at John B. He dodges it and hits him in his ribs. Topper swings again and punches John B in his face.

"Come on, man!" Topper says. John B runs at him and Topper flips him onto his back before pushing his head under water.

"Topper! Topper, stop! No!" Sarah yells

Estrella watches as JJ becomes conflicted with himself.

"No!" Pope says

"I know." Kie says

"He's drowning him."

"Topper!" Sarah yells

Estrella watches JJ dig in his bag. Her brows furrow as he walks over to Topper. Everyone stops as he holds the gun to Topper's head. Topper immediately throws his hands up

"Yeah, you know what that is." JJ says, "Your move, broski."

Everyone around them run off as Sarah comes up to JJ.

"JJ!"

"Chill!" Pope yells

"Stop! JJ! Put the gun down."

"Did you say somethin', princess?"

"We're good. We're good. We're good." Topper says

"Put the gun down!" Sarah says holding her hand out

"All right? Come on, man!"

"JJ!" Estrella yells. JJ backs up still holding the gun out to Topper.

"Kie! Can you check your psycho friend, please?" Sarah yells

"Okay, everyone, listen up! Get the hell off our side of the island!" JJ yells as he shoots the gun up in the air twice. Estrella ducks as partygoers scream and run off.

"Are you crazy?" Kie says pushing JJ back

"You idiot! Stupid!" Pope yells, "Why would you do that?"

"It's not worth it!"

"I'm saving his life, okay?" JJ says

"Stupid! You're gonna jeopardize everything!"

Estrella looks to John B before he falls back into the water, "Shit!"
