The outerbanks; paradise island as everyone called it. Well maybe not everyone. For Bondi Layne, circumstances were a bit different. See, the Outer Banks would be considered paradise, if you happened to live in kook territory. That side of town consisted of beautiful mansions littering the east coast, along with high maintenance neighbors who have expensive taste.
However, that wasn't the case in Bondi's situation. She had been brought up on the South side. Somewhere you don't strive to be. But it wasn't all bad in Bondi's eyes because past the poor, swamped side of town, she had her friends. As JJ always told her the "pogue life chose her." So, ever since then she took her life and rolled with it.
Her friends John B, Kiara, Pope, and JJ were her only family and would always be. Especially the chaotic trio. Bondi, John B, and JJ's friendship began in third grade, when Bondi decided to punch the kid who had stolen the two boys lunches. They had been inseparable ever since. Furthermore, she wouldn't have it any other way.
But above all was the connection JJ and Bondi shared. The girl even lived under the same roof as her closest friend. Once her only parent got arrested, he immediately took her in. Not letting there be any other option. He even went as far as documenting foster agreements that included his fathers name so CPS wouldn't suspect a thing.
Yet, the close bond between the five friends didn't end there. The pogue crew were always on a forever mission of adventure and fun. All believing in a taste of freedom. That's what Bondi loved most. Almost as much as she loved cold beer, which she was currently drinking on this hot summer day.
Bondi sat comfortably close next to JJ as they all relished on the unsupervised deck. Well all but John B, who was on top of a small building deciding whether or not he would land the fall.
"Should I do it?" John B asked in a contemplating tone, teetering his foot off the ledge. Bondi laughed at his ridiculous thought. Before she could make a snide remark, Pope joined in.
"Yeah you should jump. I will shoot you on your way down," he muttered threatening with a drill.
Scoffing at the comment Bondi slapped JJ's shoulder. Turning to her side, he playfully glared. She grabbed his arm pulling him close, brushing against his blonde wavy hair, "twenty bucks he drops the beer," Bondi whispered. JJ's face reddened at the sudden contact but quickly recovered he heard a bet was involved.
"You're on Bondi," he says smirking. They both did their signature spit trade mark and shook hands. Still grinning as Kiara once again reprimanded John B, "can you please not kill yourself?"
"Don't spill that beer! I am not going to give you another one," JJ rushed out making sure he won the bet. However, once the warning was said, the air took the can making the beer spill all over the ground.
"Aw shit!" John B announced disappointed.
"Of course you did. Like right when I told you," JJ says shaking his head as Kiara called him a "dumb ass," underneath her breath.
"Pay your dues my friend," Bondi exclaimed towards his direction, dancing in her seat.
"Yeah, Yeah, your lucky I like you," he muttered slipping her the money. She quickly kissed him on the cheek before getting up hearing a car door. Glancing where the sound came from, Pope voiced, "hey, uh security is here. Lets wrap it up."
Knowing for sure what was about to go down Bondi gave the group her signature sly smile, "the fun has arrived."
Throwing herself beside her friend, JJ yelled in exitment. Bondi skipped by Kiara poking her cheek. Kiara just laughed at Bondi's weird antics and uttered, "lets go boys."
With the boys hurdling off the deck. The group of friends rushed to the exit, all while JJ made fun of the bigger police officer, Gary.
Bondi erupted into a fit of laughter as her dirty blonde hair flew into her face once they all sprinted down the stairs. With the exception of JJ throwing himself down the last couple of steps.
"Watch yourself JJ, don't want Gary catching up," she yelled, mocking his slip up.
"He doesn't have a chance against me. Im the flash," he says jolting up grabbing Bondi's hand in the process. She squealed as he pulled her all around, avoiding Gary. Who was hot on their tails.
He spun her around, dancing as the rest of the group rushed to the van. But the dance session quickly ended when Gary came up from behind and grabbed JJ. Pushing him away he laughed, "not much of a hugger man!"
"Don't worry Gary. I'll give you a hug," pretending to do so, Bondi dashed around yelling, "sike! April fools!"
With that JJ and Bondi charge towards the fence all while doing a high five, proud of the stunt they pulled back there.
"Oh shit! I am way to short to get over that fence," she yelled over to JJ.
"That's what I am here for," he says giving her a boost. Gently tossing her small frame over.
Still on the ground she muttered, "oh that was awesome."
JJ laughed, "yes it was. Now let's go." Yanking her up they both dart to the van as Gary screamed, "come here you little pricks!"
Gunning to the van, Kiara yelled in excitement once the two got inside. Not before JJ yanked the door open teasing Gary, "you got it! Almost there," he chanted as the poor man looked as if he is going to pass out any moment.
Afraid to miss the chance to make fun of her favorite cop, Bondi joined in, "Gary come on just a little faster. I am rooting for you!" She says sticking her tounge out in a childish manner as JJ kept taunting, even throwing a can at the officer.
But the moment was over when Kiara says, "stop you are going to give the poor man a heart attack."
Feeling bad at her actions Bondi put herself back into the van. Though JJ felt the exact opposite, "that initiative is begging to be punished."
At that everyone laughed in the busted up van. Enjoying the high from the run. Bondi smiled, still breathing a bit heavily from the running as John B drove down to the cut. However, as she glanced out the window she met JJ's gaze. His blue eyes widened knowing he got caught. Quickly covering it up by raising his brows in a flirtatious manner.
Rolling her eyes, Bondi's smile widened. This was for sure going to be a summer that would be written down in the books. Little did they know that it would be for the best and for the worst.
A\N~ thanks for reading. Sorry if it sucks but I never wrote a fan fic before. But I couldn't resist writing one about JJ. So here it is :)
