"How's it feeling?" Pope questioned from where he was standing near the barrel that had Ferris elevated.
The teenager was inspecting the pully before looking over at Pope with a smile. "Feels good, Pope,"
"Okay," Pope laughed as the boy began moving the barrel around like a swing, "I'm taking you down before you break it or hurt yourself."
Ferris blew a raspberry in his direction, teasing him about never letting him have any fun. Popi grinned at the two from where she was relaxing in the lukewarm water of JJ's hot tube.
JJ was watching her float around while sipping on his beer, "John B pullin' a Houdini,"
"Yeah," Kiara muttered, sitting on the other side of the hot tube. "Where is he?"
"I got my scholarship interview tomorrow," Pope reminded the group as he helped lower Ferris to the ground. "We gotta get this done!"
"It'll be fine, boo," Ferris smiled over in the direction of the nervous teen. He was ecstatic to have the same smile, a little bit more hesitant, returned back to him.
"Speak of the devil," JJ announced, seeing John B storm through his backyard. His announcement alerted Popi, who popped out of the water to look at their friend. He looked miserable and not in the mood to talk, but that wasn't going to stop JJ. "Hey, man,"
"Dude, I set up the entire winch to pull up the gold and everything," JJ boasted, getting out of the tub.
"No, he didn't," Ferris called out.
"I did it," Pope joined in, wanting to receive the credit.
"Don't listen to him," JJ poked his tongue out in the direction of the two boys.
"Hey," Popi tried to grab the attention of the boy. She wasn't the only one as the rest of the group ran over to watch him ignore them all and storm inside.
"Okay? That's it?" JJ demanded, looking around the group in disbelief.
"Oh, what's that all about?" Kiara questioned the group. None of them had any idea what was going on with their friend, not having seen him since the day before.
"I was going to ask you the same question," JJ wrapped a towel around Popi and pulled her closer to his side when they got out.
By the time the group decided to join the teen in his house, he was making a mess. It looked like he was trying to find something. Trinkets and other miscellaneous objects were being thrown all over the floor as the boy desperately searched.
