The next morning I woke up and felt quite shitty. I was so nervous to tell my dad that I had gotten fired because we were already stripped for cash and everything I made we used to support ourselves. I decided not to say anything and go out to the dock to see if I could find Pope. As I was walking there I saw Sarah walking in my direction and I rolled my eyes. "Hey John B." she said cheerfully as I walked by. I kept walking faster and she said "I'm sorry, theres no hey how are you doing, or kiss my ass? Thats it?" I turned around and walked closer to her and said "So much for keeping things quiet?" "What do you mean," she replied. "I just got fired because of you, and I know you can't imagine that but some of us need jobs so that we can eat." I flung the bag of popcorn out of her hand and she shouted "What the fuck?" "You're exactly who I thought you were Sarah Cameron." I stormed off and saw Pope and he gave me some fish for dinner. When I got back to my house Kie was there and she said "I don't know what I'm gonna do, I have a stupid country club dinner with my family in three days and they're gonna notice when I'm not wearing my bracelet, and I can't lie to my family John B." "It will be okay, i'll get it fixed Kie I promise." I replied. "No John B," she said now crying, "You just got fired I can't put that on you." I touched her shoulder and said "Look Kie, I promise, Its partially my fault its broken." She smiled and said "You're so nice." I smiled and leaned in for a kiss and kissed her right on the lips. She pulled back right away and said "Oh, uh, no, no John B." "I'm uh, I'm so sorry." I replied, super embarrassed. I touched the back of my head and walked away and said "I don't know what came over me." "Hey look, its fine, I don't even mind. It's just, you know the rules, no pogue on pogue macking." She said. "Yeah, look Kie," I said grabbing the bracelet from her hand, "I'll fix this, okay." Kie quickly walked towards the door and said "Alright." I waved as she left and I sat down on my couch and contemplated how in the world I was gonna get her bracelet fixed. It was a gold chain bracelet but the clasp had been snapped off, and I knew it wasn't gonna be cheap to be fixed. I sighed and thought about how much of a shit show everything was turning into, and then I heard a knock at the door. I walked around and saw Sarah standing out on my porch. "What the hell are you doing here?" I said. "I wanted to say that I didn't tell my dad. I don't know how he found out but it wasn't my fault." she replied. "Great." I replied. She threw a bag of popcorn at me and said "I knew it was your favorite." I smiled and she walked towards her car and said "Goodbye." "Adios." I replied.
