No effing way!" Kie shouted. You brought her here? So what? She's in on this now?" Kie kept questioning John B as she walked over to Skyler to join her at the rail. John B brought Sarah back to the Cheatua where all the Pogues were waiting for John B and the plan to get the gold.
John B looked towards the boys who were sitting on a couch opposite of him for help. "I dunno." Pope shrugged. "Look, all I care about is her cut comes out of your share." JJ said.
"You know, I don't remember talking a vote." Kie said towards the two in front of her."This is our thing."
"A Pogue thing." Sky emphasize with saying Pogue as she looked Sarah right in the eye.
"I gotta say, I am just a tad uncomfortable with all of this." Pope said. "Thank you!" Kie said to the boy who was on her side. "When are you not uncomfortable?" John B questioned the boy.
"I dunno. I rode here on the back of JJ's bike pretty comfortably."
"That's true. Most relaxed I've ever seen him." JJ added."That's cute guys." John B mumbles, clearly annoyed that his friends weren't helping him out.
"You know we were extremely comfortable until you brought her."
"Stop talking about me like I'm not here!" Sarah finally spoke up to Kie.
"Then leave." Sky said to the girl with strong hate in her voice.
Sarah scoffed. "I told you."
"Told him what, exactly? That you're a backstabbing bitch of a liar?"
"No, that you're a shit-talking bitch Skyler.""Oh, shit." Pope said.
"My money's on Sky." JJ says as he pulls the cash out.""When have I ever lied to you?"
"You get somebody close to you for like a month."
"I didn't lie about shit."
All three of the girls started arguing."Everybody shut up!" John B yelled. "Sky, you are my best friend, right?" Which she nodded to. "And Sarah, you're...your my.." John B hesitated. "Say it." Sarah encouraged. "You're my girlfriend." He finally said.
"Ooh that's new." Pope says as him and JJ both make disagreeing sounds about what John B just said.
"She's your girlfriend now?" Kie asked.
"What was all that talk about you were just using her for information?" Skyler said looking fake confused towards Kie. "Get a map, cut her loose.""You said you were using me?" Sarah asked John B softly. "No." He responded.
"Yeah, you did." Pope and Kie said at the same time.
"Look, love just walked in, okay?" John B replied aggressively. "Oh vomit." Kie commented turning to look away from the boy. "I didn't expect it. It just- it kind of happened. And I'm not gonna deny it. Right?" John B finished."Oh! That's corny." Pope whispers out loud while JJ fake retches.
"Look, cut the bullshit, John B. If she's in, we're out." Kiara says while pointing at her and Sky.
"Kie, I'm not doing this." John B says softly.
"You are gonna decide"
"I can't!"
"I'm very interested, actually. Me or her?" Sky asked the boy this time. She knew John B could lie to Kie but couldn't to her.
"Both." He responded almost immediately."Went for the Hail Mary." JJ whistled.
Sky looked at her boy best friend one more time before she nodded her head and walked out of the screen door and off the front porch of the chateau with Kiara following behind.
"It'll be cool, right?" Sarah said to John B using his words from earlier after the two girls left. "I'm gonna leave. Gonna let yall chat. Let me know." She walked off heading towards the back of the chetua.
"I'd just like to say, you handled that beautifully." JJ says after Sarah leaves.
