'I sat there crying at the end of my drive
You called to tell me I was gonna be fine
Well, baby, ain't it ironic all the years I have left
Keep getting drowned out by the voice in my head'

Half My Life - Violet Skies

☆☆☆☆

We weren't exactly stealing the drone, we were simply looking after it for a while and then giving it back when we'd found 400 million dollars worth of gold and were too rich to care anymore. but the minor flaw in our plan was would we actually be able to steal it. 

'Human are the only animal, that cant tell fantasy from reality' Pope spoke as we rode in the van. John b in the drivers seat with kie riding shotgun while JJ sat meticulously ruling a blunt, concentration covering his face. 

'did you come up with that?' John B questioned 

'Albert Bernstein came up with it, but it applies to this whole treasure-hunting thing' pope defended

'pope stop you're making my brain hurt' I said holding my head in my heads. 

'so, which is it?' the curious boy questioned 'fantasy or reality?' 

'why are you so weird, Pope?' JJ asked still fiddling with his blunt between his finger

'it's fantasy, but possible reality' kie said. 

'we can make it a reality' I agreed, recieiving a smile from John B 

'virtual reality' JJ muttered going to light this blunt before Pope swiped it out of his mouth

'keep the signal clear' the pure disgusts on the blondes face as he clicked his lighter shut in annoyance. 

the van rolling to a stop outside the salvage yard, Kie jumping out, to distract the workers while we snuck past to retrieve the drone. 

'you know what your problem is' JJ mocked. 

'You?' 

'no! it's that you need to relax, man, you're always so tense!' changing his attention to me as he said 'at least you're less uptigt'

'wow you really know how to compliment a girl J' I teased moving to sit next to John b as Kie came to window 

'Hey, don't worry, you got this!' John B said 

'it's not me that i'm worried about' Kie spoke walking back toward her car with the pogue on the trailer behind it. once kie was out of sight, I opened the door following behind the boys as they ran behind a wooden fence to watch 

'how's it going with Kiara?' JJ spoke 

'it's not awkward, weird or anything' John B sarcastically said, making both JJ and me chuckle slightly 

'honestly, I did not think you were gonna actually listern to me' JJ replied

'why did you decide to take advice from lover boy?' I teased, an expersson of pure confusion covering John b's face. 

'I was 100 percent sure she was into you' JJ contuined 'Pope and Summer would agree' pope shaking his head as I said 'I was 100 percent sure she wasn't' 

'How would you know?' John B questioned me

'girls talk dipshit!' I scoffed

'did she definitely give you the Heisman?' the blonde questioned further

'oh, no question, yup' 

'I wonder why' I sarcastically muttered

'maybe she's just into somebody else' Pope spoke, making all of us turn our heads in confusion at this remark.
