Oh and you see that girl over there that's currently giving me the middle finger? Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Miss Eleanor Lily Routledge, or Ellie as we Iike to call her.
Number one pain in my ass for seventeen years in the running. I'm just kidding. But don't tell her I said that.
She's actually one of the biggest sweethearts on the island, believe it or not. Although, the temper of Ellie Routledge is not one you want to come across. Trust me, I would know.
Of course, Ellie is a Pouge through and through, over the years she's even earned the nickname 'Pogue princess'.
She's Kie's self proclaimed ride or die, Pope's study buddy since sixth grade, and JJ's surfing partner, who side note...
Has had a thing for my sister for over two years now. He thinks he can hide it from me, but I see the way he looks at her; like she's the sun, the moon and the stars all rolled into one.
I mean, don't get me wrong, it would be amazing if he finally worked up the nerve to actually ask her out. But with the way I see JJ go through girls... I don't know. I just don't want him to go breaking my sister's heart. This is the kind of time when I'm thankful for the no Pouge-on-Pouge making rule.
After our dad went missing, I guess you could say that Ellie and I became even closer, if that was even possible. She's the only family I have left.
And I'll do anything to protect her, and I know she'll do the same for me.
