FIVE POGUES, five different backgrounds. people would say their friendship was a coincidence, others would say it was an utter nightmare. the one thing the people of kildare island knew, they were all meant to be pogues.

five friends congregating at a house that was under renovation, part of the cameron's plan to rule the whole island. john b stood, not so carefully, at the edge of the roof, his right leg swaying freely in the wind and a can of beer hanging onto his fingertips.

"that's what, a three-story fall to the deck?",, pope stated, glaring up at the brunette boy from the deck, a nail gun in hand, "i'll give you a one in three chance of survival", john b sarcastically shrugs and looks out to the sea, licking his finger and hold it up to the air, checking the wind. "should i do it?",, john asks, glaring down at the boy below him.

jj sits on a ledge of the second story, half way between the two other boys, his legs dangling off the edge, his iconic red cap turned backwards on his head, one arm over the railing keeping him steady, also holding a beer, the other arm protectively placed behind marie. the girl's hair swayed in the wind as she lay in the sun, one arm holding her up, the other arm holding the beer that she would sip from time to time to distract her from the anxiety of seeing her best friend minutes away from potential death.

"yeah you should jump",, pope continues, "i'll shoot you on the way down", pointing the nail gun directly at john b, playfully pretending to shoot him, the other boy playing along with it, got his finger guns out and started 'shooting' pope. marie glares at jj over her shoulder "10 bucks john b doesn't survive this summer",,she says and rolls her eyes, "from the looks of it, i'm going to be down 10 bucks",,jj laughs in response.

another girl struts out of the house, her hands flailing in the air with annoyance. 'they're going to have japanese toilets with towel warmers",,the gorgeous, curly haired girl said, of course they are, why wouldn't they",, jj scoffed, "typical kooks",, marie grumbled under her breath, getting a side-eyed glare from the blonde beside her. "this used to be a turtle habitat but, who cares about the turtles i guess",, kie shrugged with a sigh, "i can't have cold towels",, jj laughed out, causing marie to slap him weakly on the back of his neck.

"can you please not kill yourself",, kie shouted, squinting to see john b stupidly close to the edge of the roof. "don't waste the beer!",, marie shouts up, "yeah, i'm not giving you another one",, jj states. as soon as those words leave the boy's lips, john b's foot slips slightly as he loses balance, causing him to drop the half-empty can of beer. "BOOKER,, marie screeched from her seat on the ledge, her arms still holding herself up, "of course he did, right when i said it",, jj rolled his eyes, looking at maire, both their eyes locking. the two being too scared to breathe because of the tension, "the beer",, marie pouted in a childlike manner, breaking the tension and sending both the teens into fits of laughter.

"smooth",, kie nodded up to the brunette, ignoring the two that were practically dry humping right in front of them, she's kind of gotten used to their sappy love/hate 'relationship'. john b mourns the dead beer can below him as he stretches his arms out and groans. "a-plus",, pope gave a sarcastic thumbs up to the teen that was fake crying over beer, "dumbass",, kie laughed out.

the slam of a car door was heard by pope, he leaned over the rail to get a better look and saw a blue and white car with a large figure struggling to climb out of it, a deep "hey!" was yelled out. "hey, uh, securities here, let's wrap it up",, pope swiftly turned on his heel and signaled to the rest of the group that they have unwelcome company.

"oh, the boys are early today",, john b pasted on a surprised face and started to move down the levels. "alrighty",, jj huffed while playfully slapping marie's thigh and pulling himself up, "let's get moving princess",, he held his hands in front of the girl, pulling her up with ease. "you're such a gentleman, maybank",, marie winked as jj pushed her back. the girl notices a gentle, dusty pink colour painted on the boy's cheek and it made her wonder, did he really like her? she thought that it was all for fun, i mean, it was jj maybank, he wasn't one for relationships, everyone knew that, and then there was the unspoken rules that came out of nowhere; no pogue on pogue making but, then again, jj wasn't an avid follower of rules.

"lets go boys",, kie shouted to john b and pope, knocking marie out of her thoughts, "come on love birds",, she also teased at the two that were still stood looking at each other, earning a middle finger from marie. "gary, is that you?",, jj leaned over the bar, messing with the guard like a child, "maybank, come on",, marie dragged out the 'on' and pulled his arm back, "yeah, you're asking for it",, kie responded, both girls laughing, making a run for it.

all five teens dodged each pillar and pole in order to safely get back to the twinkie in one piece, all of them uncontrollably laughing as they did so, like giddy toddlers.

they all flew down both flights of stairs, splitting up as they got to the bottom, kie following jb and pope following the old married couple. marie slipped on the last step but was smoothly saved by jj's arm stopping her from hitting the floor, "woah, easy there princess",, jj laughed, the pet name making the hair on maries neck stand straight and waking up the butterflies in her stomach. the boy continued to run, eventually turning a corner too quickly and slipping himself. yells were heard from each security guard as they tried to round up the pogues like sheep. garry grabbed hold of jj as he shot past him, jj spun around and wriggled from his grip, "not much of a hugger man",, jj retorted as he bolted the other way, grabbing hold of marie's hand as she swept past him, her feet barely touching the floor as she was being dragged along by jj, the contact was short lived as they got to a fence.

"maybank",, marie screeched, carrying out the 'a' as she was flung over the fence by the boy. "go pope!',, the blonde yelled as they launched themselves over the fence, the dark-skinned boy catching his foot on the fence and face planting the fresh-cut grass below. "get up pope, fatsos coming",, jj laughed, patting popes back as he reattached his hand to maries, none of them being able to catch their breath through laughing so hard.

john b honked the horn while the three are still running to escape the not so active guards, "come on guys, whoo!",, kie howls as she dragged the door open, clutching onto the other girl's free hand to pull her into the van. the pogues got themselves situated inside the van, "check out gary gunnin' for a raise!",, pope exclaims, all the teens crying laughing at the poor sight. "come on gary!",, marie encourages, sticking her head out of the open door to tease the middle aged man, "hey, slow down",, jj says to john b so he can have more fun with the man outside. "you're going to give him a heart attack",, kie sarcastically laughs from beside marie.

jj grabs another beer from the cooler and leans out of the door, marie cautiously holds onto his arm, kie and pope notice the cute gesture and glare at each other, smirking. "You're so close",, jj exclaimed, waving the beer in front of the cop like a dog, "come on gary, you can do it!",, marie motivated, wanting to join in on jj's fun. jj eventually threw the beer at gary, letting him have it for all the hard work, "ohh, they don't pay you enough bro",, he groans, mocking a sad tone, "jj, stop, stop",, kie said in a disciplinary tone, dragging him back inside the van and closing the door.

marie decided to get comfortable and rummage through the cooler until she realised it was empty. "did you seriously just give gary my last beer?",, marie shouts, her joyous mood completely ruined by the lack of alcohol, she huffs while plopping herself next to jj, the blonde quickly getting comfortable and lying his head on the girl's shoulder.

the girl looked around at all of her friends laughing and conversing while john b drove all around the island, marie closed her eyes and a small grin crawled onto her lips. this summer was going to be like no other.
