When Adeline Cameron asked for a summer to remember, she didn't exactly mean a summer of horror to remember.

But she was also given a summer full of memories, a summer full of friendship in the making.

After all, she wanted to get out of the bubble wrap with her sister. They asked for this.

However, Addie wasn't a typical kook you would expect to meet.

Adeline Cameron was born into wealth, raised in luxury, and always dressed to impress. With a last name that carries weight among the island's elite, she spends her summers sailing on her family's yacht and attending exclusive beach parties. But beneath her perfectly curated life lies a girl who secretly envies the carefree, reckless freedom of the Pogues. Though she'd never admit it, Adeline sometimes wonders if there's more to life than privilege and expectations. For now, though, she plays her part flawlessly—smiling for the cameras and making sure the world only sees the version of her they expect.

Adeline Cameron was the quiet one in her family. A stark contrast to her loud, polished, and socially dominant relatives.

While her parents and older siblings thrive in the world of high society, charity galas, and country club politics, Adeline prefers to exist on the fringes, observing rather than performing, watching from the sidelines.

She's the kind of girl who sneaks out to the beach at night just to sit in the sand with her headphones on, listening to The Neighbourhood or Gracie Abrams while the waves crash in the distance.

Her bedroom is a curated mess of Polaroid pictures, fairy lights, and half-filled notebooks of poetry and sketches she'll never show anyone. Her room is the only place in the world that she feels seen in, the room filled with practically her whole life.

She romanticizes late-night drives with the windows down, city lights blurred through rainy car windows, and the idea of love that feels like a movie scene.

She's effortlessly stylish in an "I-don't-care-but-I-do" way, layering oversized sweaters with delicate jewelry, ripped jeans, and Converse that have seen better days, even though she could get any clothes she wanted from her family's wealth.

Addie finds beauty in the little things: the way the ocean looks under a stormy sky, the sound of rain tapping against her window, the glow of neon signs reflecting off wet pavement. She loves poetry, the kind that aches in your chest, and she fills her notebooks with half-written verses and sketches of things she can't quite put into words. She daydreams about running away to a city where no one knows her name, where she can reinvent herself as the girl she's always wanted to be wild, free, untethered from the weight of being a Cameron. But as she falls back into the reality of her world, she knows she'd never actually do it, right..?

Adeline has the soul of a dreamer trapped in a world of rigid expectations, and while she plays her role as a Cameron well enough, she's always searching for something deeper—something real.

Though she keeps up the illusion of being just another Kook, there's something different about Adeline, something deeper. She's never fully fit into the world of yacht parties and country club brunches, but she plays along because it's easier than fighting against it. Still, late at night, when she sneaks out to the docks with nothing but her journal and a pair of headphones, she wonders if there's something more waiting for her beyond the Outer Banks. Maybe one day, she'll find it.

Addie had always been the odd one out in her family, not just quieter, but lonelier. Unlike her siblings, who seem to thrive in the Outer Banks, she drifts through life with no real friends, only acquaintances who know her last name but not much else.
