THE NEXT DAY Annabelle wanted to be away from everything. Once she had woken up, she changed into a bikini and a shirt, took what she needed from her room, and went downstairs. Her parents were already at work, despite it being summer, they had to be out most days.
The keys to her family's boat were hanging in their usual place.
Annabelle had been driving the boat ever since she was young; she knew what she was doing. She didn't mind being alone.
After throwing everything she needed into the boat, including some food she pulled out onto the open water. Sarah and Topper passed her, they waved at each other. They were heading to some beach cleanup, they did it all the time. Sometimes Annabelle would join them, but today was not the day for that.
Sarah and Topper were the definition of perfect, Sarah's father practically owned half the island, and Topper's parents were doctors. They were the most talked-about couple at the kook academy. They were probably going to be together forever, If Annabelle was honest she thought it was stupid, despite them being close friends, she always thought that at their age no one knows what they really want.
She drove the boat up and down the marsh for a while, despite knowing it was closed, something about a sunken boat from the storm. Annabelle grew tired of sailing around aimlessly, she set out a towel on the lower deck of the boat and lay there, in tranquility.

"Woah, is that Annabelle?" John b spoke from the wheel of the HMS pogue, as they neared Annabelle's boat he slowed the engine down. "Kook royalty, in it's natural habitat, a big yacht." JJ mocked.
"You know she's not that bad, I think you're being way harsh JJ. She's not Sarah Cameron," Kiara shrugged.
"Once a kook always a kook," Pope added on, to which Kiara just rolled her eyes. "I'm a kook?"
"Come on Kie, you're nothing like them and you know it." John b argued.
Annabelle was far away from reality, looking up at the sky, watching the clouds, she didn't even realize that the pogue's boat was nearing her.
"I got an idea..." JJ smirked as he picked up a small bucket from the floor of their boat.
"No, JJ, come on." Kiara shook her head at the blonde boy, Pope scoffed, knowing full well that no one could stop JJ once he had an idea set in his mind.
He reached over the side of the boat and collected water in the bucket, then while laughing to himself, he threw the bucket of water onto the half-asleep, girl on her boat.
"What the fuck!" Annabelle cursed, as shot up, looking around her, then she noticed the boat passing her.
"Wakey wakey princess, you're in enemy waters now," JJ shouted. Annabelle stood up and flipped them off. Which was met with the boys on the boat laughing. "Can't we just stop this whole kook vs pogue thing!" she shouted to them, hoping they were still close enough to hear her.
