Pretty When You Cry ୨୧ Rafe Cameron

three

A couple days had passed. Isla was spending the day surfing. It was a sunny Friday, and the sun was starting to come up. Her and her friends had been on a sort of high for the last couple days, which gave her the energy to get up so early to surf, which she adored. John B found something that could lead them to the gold that Big John, Isla's dad, had been looking for. That gold would set them for life.

John B wouldn't clarify exactly where he found this lead, but Isla trusted him. The group was supposed to meet up later to talk about it.

When she came back from her surf, it was later than she expected. The group was already met up in the porch. She stumbled in with her bikini and jean shorts on, looking a bit out of place. Someone else looked much more out of place, and that was Sarah Cameron.

'What's she doing here?' Isla asked, looking around at the others. She was angry to see Sarah, the Kook Princess, on her doorstep unexpectedly.

'Ask your brother lover boy over there,' JJ snarked.

'JJ shut up, she's the only reason I got the map. She's the only reason we've got a chance at finding this gold,' John B growled.

'Isla, basically your brother just dragged this snake into this because he's got a little crush,' Kiara explained.

'Says the shit talking bitch!' Sarah snapped back.

'Ok, everyone slow the fuck down. John B, what's going on? I wanna hear from you.'

'Sarah helped me out. All I'm saying is that it's fair to involve her since we wouldn't stand a chance without her.'

'Ok, but she doesn't need any more money John B. Like why involve her if you got what you needed? Just say thank you.'

'Well she already knows everything.'

'Fuck, John B, you know she's gonna snitch,' Isla sighed. She looked down at Sarah, 'Sorry but it's true. You're not a very good friend.'

'I'm not gonna snitch to anyone. I just wanna help,' Sarah pleaded.

'No, it's me or her John B. If she's in I'm out. Your choice,' Kiara said.

'I think if Kie is out we all are,' Isla said. The boys nodded.

'You guys can't just make me choose between my friends and my-' John B said, stopping himself. 'Sarah.'

'I can't believe that you've got something going on with that Kook,' Isla groaned.

'It just happened,' John B exclaimed.

'Choose, John B.'

'I've got a deal to propose,' Isla said, since after a half hour when John B still hadn't made a decision.

'What?'

'If she's in, she's getting her brother and his friends have to leave us alone,' Isla started, 'and I want a raise.'

'How the fuck am I supposed to control my brother? We barely even talk! Or what my dad pays you?' Sarah objected.

'That's your problem.' JJ stepped in.

'We got a deal?' Isla asked.

'Fine, I'll pay you myself if I have to. 15% raise. But I can't make promises about my brother.' Sarah gave in.
