"i've been drinking
and staying up too late reliving bad decisions
i thought eventually my ranting here would fix it
i really think sometimes there's something that i'm missing
oh, i know spiraling is miserable
i should probably go back home
why does that feel difficult, difficult?
oh, I hope i wake up invisible
i'd be someone no one knows
i guess I'm just difficult, difficult"
carmen lancaster has always felt out of place. back in los angeles, she was just the daughter of the impossibly perfect lancaster family, and now, in the outer banks, she's the new girl everyone thinks they already know. a kook by default, she's supposed to love the parties, the status, and the shallow friendships.
but carmen's never been one to follow the script. between her restless nights, trying to figure out who she really is, and days spent dodging her parents' expectations, she can't help but feel like she's spiraling. maybe she's just difficult.
and maybe there's more to life than playing the part everyone expects her to.

ꜱᴛʀᴀᴡʙᴇʀʀɪᴇꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴍ | JJ Maybank
Aurora Rowen Vallistica isn't thrilled to be spending her summer in the Outer Banks. A rich girl with a passion for ballet, she'd rather be anywhere else-preferably with her boyfriend back on the mainland. But when auditions for her dream part in Swan Lake are pushed up, with no partner in sight, desperation forces her to look for help in the most unlikely of places. Enter JJ Maybank: a hot-headed Pogue freshly fired from the Island Club, broke, restless, and absolutely not the type of guy Aurora ever imagined would be lifting her into a pirouette. The feeling is mutual-JJ can't stand the sharp-tongued, silver-spoon ballerina who thinks she can boss him around. But a job is a job, and he needs the money. Thrown into a dance neither of them asked for, their summer starts off with cold glares and clashing worlds. But under the Carolina sun, as rehearsals turn to late-night conversations and friction gives way to something softer, they begin to wonder if the line between Touron and Pogue was ever really meant to hold.

Borrowed Summer ✦ JJ Maybank
I came to the Outer Banks expecting a summer of sunburns, surf, and my cousin's ridiculous Kook parties. I wasn't expecting hurricanes, fights on the beach, or a Pogue with ocean-blue eyes and a smirk that drives me insane. Everyone keeps warning me about the divide. Kooks vs. Pogues But I'm starting to think the lines here blur easier than people admit. Especially when the same people I'm supposed to stay away from keep finding trouble... and maybe a little gold. Now there are whispers about a treasure sunk somewhere off the coast, a secret people have died for, and somehow I've ended up right in the middle of it. I told myself I wouldn't get involved. But when the tides change in the Outer Banks, you either swim with the current.... Or drown in it. ✦ [JJ Maybank x Fem!Oc] [OBX Season 1]
