From Privilege To Purpose -- An OBX Fanfic

Chapter 17 -- Midsummers

Stella's P.O.V.

After driving for a bit, JJ finally told me to turn down a side road and that's when I spotted John B down by the water.

"Finally!" John B screamed. "What the hell took you two so long?" We both laughed and once we made it to him, he explained everything about where he had been the past 24 hours and how we are going to be sneaking into Midsummers.

"Guys, do we really have to go?" I asked. "I really don't feel like being surrounded by a bunch of kooks."

"Stell, just pretend like we are on a secret mission." John B said.

"A secret mission? Really?" I laughed.

"Just go with it, Stell." JJ said.

"You owe me big time, JJ Maybank." I said.

"I know, babe." he said.

"Babe?" John B asked. "Wait, are you two dating?"

"Nope!" I asked.

"Stella, stop." JJ said.

"What? I'm just speaking the truth." I said.

"Okay, whatever. Can you just give this to Sarah Cameron?" John B asked as he handed a note to JJ.

"What!" I shrieked. "Did you just say Sarah Cameron?"

"Yes." John B said.

"That's it. I'm out." I said and turned back to the boat.

"Not so fast darling." JJ said and grabbed the straps of my backpack.

"I am not having anything to do with Sarah Cameron." I said.

"Stella, shut up." John B said.

"Wanna say that again?" I asked and got into fight mode.

"Oooh can I read this?" JJ asked.

"No you can't read it." John B said.

"Who's Vlad?" JJ asked.

"Do you ever listen?" John B asked.

"Hold up." JJ said. "You're macking Sarah Cameron?"

"No, not I'm not okay. Shut up." John B said.

"I'm gonna be sick." I said and pretended to fake puke.

"Stell." JJ said.

"No way you're macking, Sarah Cameron! You know how Kie feels and especially me!" I yelled.

"No, Stella." John B said. "I actually don't know why you hate her so much. Care to elaborate?" I looked over at JJ and I knew he knew what I was thinking.

"I can't believe it." JJ said.

"Guys, just relax." John B said. "JJ your outfit is in here, and Stella there is a dress for you."

"You got me a dress?" I squealed.

"Ya, here." John B said. "There's also a flower crown that Kie made."

"Aw guys." I squealed. "I'm gonna go change over there. No peeking." I quickly ran behind some bushes and changed into the dress John B had gotten me. The dress was a lace, white, off the shoulder strap dress. Once I was changed, I made my way back to them.

"Guys, what do you think?" I asked. They quickly turned around and I swear their mouths hit the ground.

"Wow." they both said in sync. I watched as JJ grabbed the crown from the bag and placed it on my head. He then tucked some hair behind my hair and cupped my face.
