"No no no, you need to use your left hand first" Pippa rolled her eyes. "I dont know my lefts and rights JJ"
"What? You learn that in like second grade" pippa just shrugged. "You got a pen?" Pippa shook her head. "I have eyeliner?" JJ nodded. "That'll do"
The blonde boy got a pen and wrote an 'L' on her left hand and an 'R' on her right. "Now, use your left hand to high five my right one" JJ said as he was teaching her how to do 'a sailor went to sea'. They both cheered as they finally got it without missing up.
The other pogues cheered and clapped. Kiara looked at her who was being picked up slightly by JJ, she smiled at her not really seeing her this comfortable around anyone else. She was proud.
"You guys see that?" JJ whistled as he put the youngest girl down. "Thats fancy, what is it?" Pippa asked leaving over the boat slightly.
"That's the Malibu 24-MXZ, the worlds finest wakesetter. Number one in luxury,quality, and performance. 200k, easy."
"We picked the wrong parents." Pope
sighed as he looked at the boat.
"I hate to break it to you guys, but
that's Topper and his girlfriend." Kie
said as the boats passed and the two
looked at the Pogues condescendingly.
"You don't have to pretend like you don't see us, bitch." Pippa looked at her friend. "Maybe she isnt pretending, she might not be able to see us." Without warning, the young girl waved and and shouted their name. "Hey Sarah!" She called. Kiara jumped forward to pull her arm down. "No no pip" Sarah turned at her name and saw the smiling waving girl and waved back. They had met before a few times. Sarah considered her to be one of her only true friends. She was genuine unlike other kooks.
JJ helped pull her down from the edge.
"Listen, kooks don't like pogues. And pogues dont like kooks. So we don't interact with them, kay?" Pippa nodded slowly at John B.
"She didn't mean anything by it, she's just to sweet for her own good" kiara argued back.
"Like honey" John B just nodded at his best friend and walked towards the newest member and patted her on the head. "No harm done."
"Sweet lord the internet!" Pope spoke
as the teens snuck into the hotel JJ
worked at.
"I got the map," John B said as he
placed the map on the table next to
Pope
"Coordinates please?"
"349 57 30" north. 750 55' 42" west."
"Boom, continental shelf right there."
"Well, if it's off the deep end, it's not gonna he much of a treasure hunt, is
it?" JJ looked at pippa who was just wondering around not knowing what she was meant to do. She gave her a confused look.
"Shit that's on the high side, that's only 900 feet."
"That's not too deep.'
"Is that doable or something?"
"Yeah, totally doable."
"Okay, will we be taking your personal submarine?"
"How do you know this, Mr. Divemaster?"
"The salvage yard. They got a drone
that can drop 1,000. It has a 360
camera and everything. It's for like
deep dives and stuff, it's exactly what
we need."
"Can your dad get his grimy little hands on it?"
"Well, my dads grimy little hands
got his ass fired. I guess the salvage
captain frowns on showing up
shitfaced, turns out. But the drones
there. It's in the impound yard out
back."
"Shall we go to the beach after this" pippa asked hopefully while she leaned on popes chair and bouncing on her tip toes.
"Sure pip" Pope looked at her over his shoulder. She smiled at him.
"How much did you say was on the
Royal Merchant again?"
"400 million,"
"400 mil,"
Pope got out of his seat and ran to
block the door. "No, absolutely not
Absolutely not."
"Pope move,'
"Come on!"
"Can't we do anything legal for
money?" He asked, glancing at pippa
as the group walked past him out the
door.
She shrugged as she was dragged out by kiara.
"So how's it going with Kiara?" JJ
asked John B as they hid behind some
lumber along with Pope while Kie and
Pippa began to distract the security
guard.
"Oh ya know, it's not awkward or
anything."
'Honestly I did not think you were
actually gonna listen to me." JJ laughed
"I was 100% sure that she was into you. Pope would agree."
"Ehhh. honestly, I thought she was into you.' Pope replied, distantly. An
unknown emotion crossed JJ'a face as
his head turned to Pope.
"S-So, Kie, she definitely gave you the
Heisman?"
"Oh, no question. Yep."
"Gotcha. What about pippa?"
"What do you mean?" John B asked.
"I mean shes hot but shes also very ditsy." J spoke, staring at her
back as she and Kie led the security
guard to the flat tire.
"Thats just her personality JJ, she just needs someone to look out for her" John B deadpanned.
"I thought you didn't like her," Pope
turned to John B who shrugged.
"I didn't, but I think she's really sweet and genuine. Plus I think shell be a big help in finding this gold"
kinda nice."
"She's definitely not into you, though."
JJ analyzed. John B and Pope rolled there eyes.
"What?, of course she's not. Why are we even talking about this"
Pope chuckled softly.
"Okay, go, go, go, go"
"Mom? Dad? Where are you? You'll never guess what i did today" Pippa called out as she walked into her house. Maria came into the room and gave her a hug. "Hey sweetie, I was wondering where you were. What did you do?" Pippa put her bag down on the floor and pulled her mum into the living room and sat her down.
Pippa rambled about her whole day to her mum. Making sure to list every sing little detail. "And then we went to kies dads for dinner and JJ gave me a piggy back all the way home"
Her mum laughed at her. "Sounds like you had an adventure today. But im not pleased with you stealing a drone pippa" She looked down. "Sorry" her mum just looked at her and lifted her head up with her hand. "But I'm glad you had a good day and have found some lovely friends" her daughter stood up and hugged her mum.
"Now, go tell your dad about your day" pippa jumped up and ran into his office.
