When Wrong becomes Right

Chapter 1

"That's a 3 story fall to the deck, I give you a 1 in 3 chance of survival," Pope yells up to our friend balancing on the roof.

He licked his finger, holding it up to the wind. "Should I do it?" He asks us.

"Yeah you should jump, I'll shoot you on the way down," Pope says, holding a drill up to John B.

"Yeah, that's a great fuckin idea," I yell up to him.

"Your gonna shoot me?" He asks Pope, holding up a finger gun to him.

"They're gonna have Japanese toilets with towel warmers," Kie says, walking out of the house. "Of course, they will, why wouldn't they?" The blonde boy asks from next to me. "This use to be a turtle habitat, but who cares about the turtles I guess," Kie added.

"I can't have cold towels!" JJ protests, before taking another sip of his beer. I grabbed the hat off his head, and put it on mine, adjusting the size. 

"Could you please, not kill yourself?" Kie asks John B, who is still barely balancing on the roof. "Don't spill that beer, I'm not giving you another one," JJ adds, more concerned about our beer supply than his friend's safety. I was about to say something, as I watched John B drop his beer. "Of course you did, like right when I told you not to," JJ said. 

I laughed, before realizing my beer was empty. I grabbed the one out of JJ's hand and took a sip. "Hey!" He playfully said, snatching it back, before taking a sip himself. 

"Hey uh securities here, let's wrap this up," Pope exclaimed. "Is that you Geary?" JJ asked, before jumping down from our spot. I was about to jump down, as he grabbed my waist and lowered me down. "JJ you do know I could do that myself?" I asked. "Yeah, but that's no fun." He said, knowing good and well I could've. 

He grabbed my hand as we ran through the dark house. He ran into security, turning us both around. We ran in the opposite direction, one of the guys grabbing JJ. "Not much of a hugger man." He said, escaping his arms. I laughed, running through the dark house.

This is what us Pogues live for. Running from the law, and causing as much ruckus as possible amongst the town.  

We ran, and jumped over the fence, landing on our feet, well not so lucky for Pope. JJ said something to him I didn't quite catch, as John B honked the horn. "The bus is leaving!" He said. I jumped in next to Kie, catching my breath and laughing. JJ and Pope hopped in, and John B stepped on the gas. "Look at Geary, gunnin for a raise!" Pope said, pointing to the guard desperately trying to catch up to the car.

"John B slow down!" Blondie exclaimed, hanging out of the side of the car, waving a beer in Geary's face. "Guys stop your gonna give him a heart attack!" Kie said, as I also hung out of the van watching.

 In that way, me and JJ are very similar.

 He threw the beer out saying "They don't pay you enough bro." Before we both climbed back into the van, laughing. "Stop," Kie said, hitting him in the shoulder. "Oh come on that sort of initiative is just begging to be punished," JJ said, laughing before grabbing his hat off my head.

We drove through figure 8, looking at all the rich houses, and statues. We drove by a golf range, seeing two men hit a ball. "What do kooks find so fun about golfing like what's the fuckin point," I said, pointing to them. "It's floor baseball," I added, getting a laugh from the group. "Who knows," JJ said, putting his arm across my shoulders.

We turned into the cut, looking at our natural habitat. Grass that hasn't been cut in years, broken down boats and cars in lawns of old beat-up houses.

Kie and I sat next to each other listening to her music, while Pope read a book, JJ hit his vape, and John B pulled up a haul. "Nice one dude," JJ said. "Thank god they're back." I added, "But it would be nicer if you kept them off me." I added as Kie inched away from them, adding an "ew" "It's been all bait for like 3 weeks." JJ said before John B threw a fish on him. 

*John B's introduction." 

That's Layne. JJ introduced me to her in 3rd grade. She's this super cool chick, who isn't afraid of anything. Except for krickets. Don't get one of those near her or all hell breaks loose. No one in the group has ever seen her cry over anything, she's not really one for feels. Don't get me wrong, she's always there when any of us need her, and she's a great therapist if you need it, but she never talks about her feelings. She's been raised off of fishing, and surfing. We also all sorta have a thing for her too, I mean it's hard not to.

My introduction of everyone.

John B. He's sorta the unofficial ring leader of the group. He's a really good surfer and can be smart when he needs to. His dad went missing 9 months ago at sea, none of us really know what happened. His house, the Chateau is our group hangout place. He's an adrenaline junkie for sure, but that's what makes him special I guess. His favorite things to do, are fishing, surfing, and skipping class.

Kiara, or Kie as we all call her. She's crazy about the environment. She's also a kook, hanging out with us. None of us understand why, but we're not mad about it. If I were a guy, I'd totally hit that, I mean all of the guys in our group have a small thing for her, I mean she's pretty and rich so I'm not surprised. Loves saving turtles, surfing, and doing anything with us. She's also into that like beachy vibe music. Side note, we have a bad tendency of making out when we get drunk... nothing is going on with us though.

Good old Pope. He's most definitely the smartest in the whole group. The only one of us who never skips school. He has this cool scholarship thing going on, and he's been obsessed with it practically all year. We love him nonetheless, he's one of the pogues. His dad Heyward is this legendary guy, who owns a seafood place. Not sure he knows what to make of his son, but still loves him. Popes either studying, hanging with us, or yelling at us for doing shit that could get us arrested and take away his scholarship.

JJ. I've known him for as long as I can remember. My left hand man. We're similar in a lot of ways, being the troublemakers of the group. He's been surfing since he could walk, and fishing too. Probably the best surfer of all of us. He's got this totally flirtatious personality, and we all just laugh at him and roll with it, thinking nothing of it. He's also the best liar of us all, me coming into second place next to him. His dad? Total asshole. Mom? Never been around. His brains a little empty at times but, I love this dude, no matter how many dumbass decisions he makes.
