Caroline Becker has lived in the Outer Banks her entire life, she doesn't know anything different. She has long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. her friends always says they look like the ocean. Her parents weren't rich, she wasn't considered a kook, but she wasn't pour either. her parents had some money, they had a nice house, a nice boat, and she had a lot of clothes. but her House wasn't $4 million and her boat wasn't a 10 million Dollar yacht, and she didn't have designer clothes. Caroline has been best friends with The Pogues her entire life. She met JJ in second grade, he then introduced her to John B., Who introduced her to Pope, then they all met Kiara in 5th grade. she's been best friends with everyone but she's always been closer with JJ, they have a relationship that no one else has. They can flirt and mess around and play fight and nobody would think anything of it. if you were to see them walking in the street, you would think that they were dating, but they're not. Although, Caroline would like that. And what Caroline does not know is that JJ would like that as well.

yes, Caroline's friends with the Pogues. but she's also friends with the kooks. because her family has some money she gets invited to many things that all the kooks would attend, like midsummers. she's also friends with sarah cameron and topper and kelce. but if there is someone she hates it has to be Rafe. he is always hitting on her and trying to get in her pants. she always does her best not to interact with him. anyways now that you know some background on Caroline, let's get on with the story.

caroline woke up on a tuesday morning at 9:45. she rubbed her eyes not wanting to get up but also excited to see what the day had in mind. she brought her long tan legs to the side of her warm white sheets and got out of bed. she walked over to her mirror and look at herself for what seemed like hours on end but it was actually just 2 minutes. she was definitely pretty, that's for sure. her face was a little sunburnt on her cheeks from surfing basically the whole day yesterday but other than the little burnt part of her face, she was tan. she was wearing a huge white tee shirt she had no idea where she got. it was probably JJ's. he slept over a lot. and she was wearing nike pros. she went on her phone to check social media.

the list went on. she definitely wasn't the type to be addicted to her phone but she was definitely active on it. her daily screen time was about 1 hour and 30 minutes at the most. after she got done with that she ran down stairs and made herself some breakfast. she had a hard boiled egg and some fresh strawberries with toast. when she finished eating she went back up stairs and got into the shower. after she got out she brushed her teeth. put on little makeup and blew dry her hair. same everyday routine. then she got dressed in light wash ripped shorts and a raspberry colored tube top. underneath was a white bathing suit top with hot pink bottoms. just in case. you never know, especially during summer with the pogues. she already had her necklaces on from the night before. she rarely takes them off.

the second to last one is JJ's but he lets her wear it. she looked in the mirror and headed out the door. she was stopped at the bottom of the stairs by her step mom. caroline HATED her stepmom. and well Jennifer hated caroline. her parents split up when caroline was 2 and she rarely sees her mom. maybe once every 4 years. but her dad, he is like her hero.
"hey! where are you going" Jennifer asked.
"why does it matter?" caroline said giving off a lot of attitude.
"because i don't want you to get hurt, and if you get hurt your dad will kill me."
"relax jennifer, i'll be fine. ok?"
"no. not ok."
"dude chill out. i'm going out with friends."
"which friends?" jennifer HATED the pogues. she thought they were a bad influence on caroline.
"JJ and all them."
"ugh why can't you hang out with sarah cameron more. then at least Rose would invite me over for drinks more often."
"i'll hang out with sarah later." caroline said, squeezing past jennifer to the front door.
"be home by 6!"
"yea sure whatever. tell my dad that i'll be home by 10!"
"hey! i said 6!" she yelled.
"and i don't remember asking!" caroline said running down the driveway with her penny board in her arms. she throws it the ground and starts off towards john b. house.
