Ocean Eyes-Outer Banks

chapter 16

caroline woke up to the sound of her alarm going off. she groaned and reached her hand over and slapped her phone.
"why is your alarm going off during summer?" jj said groggily.
"because," she said wiping her eyes. "we need to talk." jj immediately sat up, concerned about what she was going to say.
"what's wrong?"
"so, there is a ball happening in two weeks and i have to attend. my dad is making me and um i kinda already told my dad that you would be my escort."
jj was stunned. so stunned he started laughing.
"it's not funny jj."
"wait you're serious?" the smile fading from his face.
"yes jj. and you are coming with me. as my escort. i've already picked out my dress and everything." she whined.
"caro, i don't have the clothes to go to a ball." the blonde headed boy sounded disgusted.
"that's why we are going shopping today." she said with a bright smile.
"oh my god. i can't believe this is happening" jj said sounding not so amused.
"ok let's go. we can't go shopping dressed like this." she said.
"what? why? who says you can't go shopping in dirty clothes?"
"the staff members at the doors keeping all the dirty teenagers out of the stores."
"oh" jj said as they walked out towards her jeep. jj got into the drivers seat and caroline got in the passengers seat.
"drive to your house first and go put on some nicer clothes." caroline directed.
"princess," jj sighed. "my dads gonna kill me. i haven't been home in forever."
"then i'll grab your stuff."
"are you crazy?" jj questioned. the two had already gotten to jj's house since he only lived about 2 minutes away from john bs.
"nope." she said opening the door of her car and running towards jj's bedroom window.
jj chased after her.

they reached the window and jj opened it. as caroline was climbing in she turned back to jj and said "this brings back old memories of sneaking into your room when we were younger."
"oh yeah. and had our make out sessions." he smirked.
"only in your dreams maybank."
"oh trust me, after you would leave, i did have some crazy dreams."
"oh yea? what kinda dreams?"
"you don't wanna know." he said as he climbed into his bedroom and slapped her butt.
"ok, you need something nice." caroline said in a whisper.
"well let me show you over to my designer clothes selection." jj said sarcastically.
caroline just rolled her eyes.
"show me whatcha got." she said.

after arguing for about 8 minutes straight jj finally agreed on an outfit.

when he came out of the bathroom, he looked disgusted.
"i look like a tool."
"no you don't! i think you look hot." caroline smiled. she will admit, jj did look very hot in that outfit.
"sure."
"ok let's go." they jumped out of the window and ran back to the car to drive to caroline's house.

"how bout you just stay here? so then we don't get stuck talking to my dad."
"oh, ok" jj was a little hurt that caroline didn't invite him in but he didn't take it to heart.

caroline ran upstairs and into her room. she did her normal routine and then went over to her closet to pick out an outfit.
