chapter one: paradise on earthe

:::

BLAKE WOODS HAS A TALENT, SHE KNOWS THAT. It's something intangible, you had to be born with it and she was lucky enough to have it.

Everyone loves her and that's something really special, she knows she's the people's princess and she really uses it to her advantage always.

Every town has an it girl and Kildare had her, you couldn't be cooler than Blake Woods.

It was effortless for her, she is the daughter of retired model and former NYC it girl, Jean Woods and English businessman, Henry Woods.

Her mother made her who she was and gave her the most powerful thing you could have, confidence.

Blake was never alone, you could say that it her biggest fear, but it wasn't a problem because she was blessed with an extremely protective older brother that was always attached at her hip.

Together, they were unstoppable.

They were Kooks, but not the typical you could find in Figure Eight, the Woods family was different and everyone knew that.

Blake didn't care about what people would think that someone like her was always hanging out with people like her friends, pogues. She didn't get the whole war, it was just stupid, they were not enemies, they lived on the same island, if anything they should be uniting forces against tourists.

"Hurricane Agatha is getting closer and closer to the outer banks of North Carolina." Some reporter on the TV announced.

"Great timing" Blake said opening the door to The Chateau "This is going to be a hell of a hurricane" she commented when the door flew shut from the wind

"Hey! No traitors in this house" John B said

John B. Routledge, the leader of the group. Blake met him when she was six and she got stung by a jellyfish, John B thought she was going to die and the only way to save her was peeing on her wound. That was false and gross but they ended up being inseparable ever since.

"Yeah I heard you almost gave Gary a heart attack" she replied knowing he was referring to her rejecting their hang out that morning.

They tried to convince her to come with them but she had already arranged to go shopping with Sarah Cameron, her other best friend.

"You should consider raising his salary" Pope joked

Pope Heyward, brains of the operation. He is the smart kid every friend group needs to not get in serious trouble. Blake also loved she could talk about all their nerdy things together and enthusiast about college.

"And you should consider not breaking into new developments" She replied

"Japanese toilets and towel warmers Blake, really?" Kiara put a hand on her hip looking at her.

Kiara Carrera, your local planet activist. She met Blake at school and have been best friends since then, almost like sisters, they argue in the same way also.

"Towel warmers are like the best invention in the world" Blake pointed out

"That's turtle habitat" Kie told her again rolling her eyes

"That was for sale, if you have any complaints go to my dad, not me" Blake shrugged

"Hey! I've been looking for that shirt" JJ appeared and saw her outfit consisting of a bikini some denim shorts and his Nivana shirt.
