the first day of school approached for the Pogues and they were not excited at all. Belle stared out the window with JJ sat beside her as Kiara drove and Pope was sat in the passenger seat. seeing everyone walking towards the building with smiles on their faces, people laughing, she knew she was gonna hate it this year without John B. once the car was parked Belle sat up reaching for her bag.

the four got out of the car as JJ took a sip of his flask before handing it to Belle who also took a sip when Kiara turned to them catching them, Belle closed it up handing it back to JJ who hid it in her car.

"hey, chill out." Kiara warned the couple as Belle got out of car.

"if i black out, just don't remind me." JJ said reaching for Belle's hand as she shut the door.

"that's not funny."

the second the four Pogues walked further into the school the more looks they got by everyone, Belle looked around clutching onto JJ's hand hearing the whispers of everyone.

"hey, it's them."

"there they are."

"i wasn't sure they'd show up."

"i heard they got arrested."

"that wouldn't surprise me."

approaching the small memorial the four had made for John B ignoring what everyone was saying about them. Belle let go of JJ's hand kneeling down wiping off some dirt from the broken half surfboard and fixed a few flowers that were resting on the ground. she lightly smiled at a few pictures that were on the board before she stood up dusting dirt off her hands.

"i feel like people are staring at us." Kiara turned her head seeing a few classmates watching them, JJ turned around quickly agreeing with her, "oh yeah."

"if you guys wanna stare don't make it obvious." Belle turned around seeing three classmates looking right at them who quickly looked away.

"guys, i can't be late." Pope said immediately walking off followed by Belle who didn't want to be near anyone.

"hey. hey, we gotta stick together." Kiara stopped them holding her hand out for Pope, he turned to her taking her hand as Belle stepped away keeping her eyes on the ground not wanting to look at anyone.

if she looked at someone she'd probably tell them off and get in trouble. she really didn't want to sit in the principals office all morning because she was upset about her best friend but how could she not be upset?

"stick together. yeah." JJ said throwing his arm around Belle's shoulder walking ahead when Kiara wrapped her arm around Belle's linking their arms together sending her a gentle smile.
