You have lived in the Outer Banks your whole life, and you are John B's little sister. Y/N Routledge. You grew up surrounded by the Pogues - Kie, Pope, JJ, and of course, John B. You've all had your fair share of adventures and trouble, but it was always the Kooks against the Pogues. Then there was Rafe Cameron, the golden boy of the Kooks- reckless, arrogant, and the last person you ever wanted to be around. But every time he showed up, the tension between you two just kept growing. One thing you knew - the line between love and hate can be pretty thin when it comes to boys.

You've lived in the Outer Banks your entire life. As a Cameron, you were raised to fit perfectly into the Kook lifestyle and were known as the "Kook Princess. You always got along with your siblings, Rafe and Sarah, even if you questioned some of the things they did. And then there's JJ Maybank, the reckless Pogue, and from the moment you two met, you couldn't stand each other. But lately you've started to realize that maybe the Pogues weren't so bad after all, especially after how much Sarah gossips to you about her boyfriend, John B... maybe the relationship between love and hate wasn't so strong after all.

Y/N Routledge. Sixteen. John B's little sister. He's been the overprotective type ever since your dad disappeared months ago-setting rules you never agreed to, and watching your every move like you'd vanish too. It's been just the two of you for a while now... well, and JJ Maybank. Seventeen, reckless, full of trouble and charm. He's always around-more than you'd like to admit. And sure, you both get along, but it's always been just friendship. Mostly. Probably. You're a Pogue through and through. Scraped knuckles, stolen boats, and not following the rules is your normal. Sarah Cameron is tolerable now that she's dating your brother, and surprisingly, she's proven herself more than once. But Kooks like Rafe and Topper? Let's just say if looks could kill, they'd be buried six feet under the Chateau. This summer feels... different. Maybe it's the pressure. Maybe it's the secrets. Or maybe it's the fake relationship you never expected to agree to. Rules were made. Lines were drawn. He's not supposed to fall. You swore you wouldn't either. But sometimes hearts don't follow rules-especially in the Outer Banks. **This story can also be found on my TikTok account as well with many others!!** TikTok: @obxstoriess_p4l

You moved from Chicago to the OBX with your parents to start a new life! Your parents are Kooks and just bought a nice new house to live in. Y/N goes on a crazy adventure in her first few weeks in the OBX, meets many new people, and falls in love with everyonen's favorite.. JJ Maybank.

Here's the thing about the Outer Banks: there's two sides to this place. The Cut, and Figure Eight. Pogues versus Kooks. And trust me, the line between the two? It's about as deep as the ocean. Me? I'm Y/N Routledge. 17. John B's little sister. Which automatically makes me a Pogue. We don't have money, we don't have fancy boats or vacation houses, but we've got each other. And that's enough. Then there's Jackson Genrette. Jackson. A Kook. He's got the parents, the money, the privilege, everything handed to him since the start. Best friends with Rafe Cameron, which should tell you everything you need to know. Arrogant. Reckless. Infuriating. And if there's one person I swore I'd never get tangled up with, it's him. But the thing about the Outer Banks? Nothing ever goes the way you think it will. But that summer, the lines began to blur. And sometimes, the person you swear you hate most is the one you can't stay away from. **This story can also be found on my TikTok account as well with many others!!!!** TikTok: @obxstoriess_p4l

Sophomore year at The Kook Academy is supposed to be easy. But it isn't-for you. You're Y/N Carrera. Kiara's younger sister. But completely opposite of her. She's confident, smart, fearless in a way you're not. No matter how hard you try, you always feel like you're a step behind her-at school, at home, everywhere. At least you have your boyfriend Rafe Cameron. He's a senior now. Protective. Possessive. But over the summer, something shifted between you two-his jealousy sharper, his rules stricter. "Don't talk to Pogues. Don't even look at them" Not ever. John B is the only exception, and only because of Sarah. So you stay where you're told. You play the part. The good Kook who tries. The perfect girlfriend. Until one night, you don't. One rebellious decision pulls you into a world you were never meant to touch-and right into the path of JJ Maybank. And once you cross that line, your Kook Year starts to unravel. **This story can also be found on my TikTok account as well with many others!!!** TikTok: @obxstoriess_p4l

Jealousy isn't loud. It doesn't always announce itself. Sometimes, it slips in quietly and is disguised as a harmless crush, a lingering glance, a smile, a hope that refuses to go away. It starts small. A look that lasts a second too long. The kind of attention that feels like everything, even when it's barely anything at all. Your name is Y/N Routledge. The Pogue Princess. You're supposed to know better. But knowing better doesn't stop you from wanting the wrong person. It doesn't stop you from crushing on someone like Rafe Cameron (like all the girls on Kildare), even when deep down, you know he was never really yours to begin with. And it definitely doesn't stop the slow, aching realization that while you were busy looking in one direction... someone else never stopped looking at you. JJ Maybank, your best friend and partner in crime since third grade, has always been there for you. Something constant. Something real. Even if he hides it, even if he knows you're "off limits", even if it drives him crazy watching you chase something that he knows was never real. Because jealousy has a way of blurring everything. Turning friendship into something more, trust into something fragile, and desire into something dangerous. It makes it harder to tell the difference between who you want, and who actually wants you back. This isn't a story about love at first sight. It's about wanting the wrong person for far too long. And by the time you finally see what was right in front of you the whole time, it might already be too late.
