Callie grabbed a glass of water from the kitchen on the way out to the porch with John B. She had a slight headache from all of the drinking, but this wasn't that surprising.
What did surprise her, was when she heard JJ say, "Well, hello, princess."
Considering that she knew he wouldn't call her that, she knew Sarah Cameron was somewhere. She saw that Pope and JJ were out throwing a basketball to each other, while Kie and Florence were sitting on one of the porch couches. Turning around, she saw the girl walking up onto the porch looking quite irritated.
"Shouldn't you be on Figure Eight with your little group of polo players?" John B asked with a smug look on his face as he dropped down onto the couch. "Or did you break up with Topper?"
Callie went and sat beside the boy with her glass of water, giving him a sharp elbow to the ribs. He might not have liked how things had ended but that didn't mean Sarah deserved his attitude.
Pope and JJ had made their way to the porch by then, everyone curious as to why Sarah Cameron would be showing up at the Chateau after what had happened. Callie remained focused on the girl but she could see JJ glancing at her out the corner of her eye.
The girl gave a tight smile as she looked down at him, correcting what he'd said. "We're just friends."
"He's just a friend," John B repeated. "You have a lot of friends, Sarah Cameron."
"Yeah, and it seems like you've got some of your own, too."
Knowing that she had him, John B sighed. "All right, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here for Pope," she stated, turning to look at said boy. "I think I found the island room."
Every single one of them immediately straightened up in their seats, completely caught off guard by her claim. Breaking the silence, Callie put her cup down and stood up.
"We're not losing again. Let's go."⋙⋘
"Guys, listen to this. The diary says the cross holds the most holy relic in all of Christendom, the Garment of the Saviour," Pope read aloud from the backseat of the Twinkie.
Kiara leaned past Florence to look at him, "So wait, he's saying there's a holy garment inside the cross?"
"Yeah. It says the garment is capable of healing the sick from any malady."
"Mmm, yeah. 'If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well,'" JJ quoted. They all looked at him with confused looks, realising that he had just quoted scripture.
"What? I went to Sunday School."
