𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐘 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐀𝐓 𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐖 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 boat, wearing a pair of shorts that she had stole from jj. they were a little baggy considering the fact that jj was taller and bigger than her, but she didn't care. it was either wear john b and pope's pants - the both of them being taller than jj, or wear jj's pants. basically its either wear super baggy pants, or wear slightly baggy pants. the maybank boy was used to coby taking his bottoms when she ran out of her own. he knew she'd rather prefer loose and baggy bottoms than tight ones. for a top, coby was wearing a muscle tee, showing off her toned arms.
the sawyer girl perked up when she saw heyward's boat enter her line of sight, seeing sarah and kie sitting on the edge of the boat. a loving smile pulled at her lips when she took in sarah's features. the girl's blonde hair was blowing in the morning breeze, along with a button up shirt that she had somehow taken from coby. her heart fluttered as sarah met her eyes, a smile pulling at her own lips when she saw her girlfriend.
"uh-oh!" pope yelled as he slowed the pogue down, pulling up besides his father's boat. coby stood up from her spot next to jj, going over to put her hands on john b's shoulders.
"you forget your keys or something?!" she quickly called out, her eyebrows raised with a grin on his lips. that made sarah smile even more, rolling her eyes at her girlfriend. the cameron girl could tell that coby was proud of the little plan she had came up with.
"you guys need a tow?!" john b added, looking up at coby before he looked back over to heyward's boat.
pope pulled the pogue up next to the bigger boat, sarah and kie looking at him and the three other pogues with bored looks as they stood up from their seats.
"you gotta admit. . . it was funny." coby mumbled, bringing one of her hands up to comb her hair out of her face.
"jake." kie started, keeping her face as straight as possible. coby could see the satisfaction and closer behind the girl's eyes, knowing that her plan had actually worked.
"what's that?" coby questioned, tilting her head slightly.
"mastermind, huh?" kie asked.
"i'm always planning some shit."
"yeah. some patriarchal bullshit."
coby tilted her head slightly as jj handed her the rope to tie the boat off. she looked over to pope, "does that apply to me since i'm a girl?"
"yes and no." pope shrugged, watching the shorter girl hand kie the rope so she could tie it to the bigger boat.
"is it yes because i have a dick?" coby then asked. she pulled the shorts that belonged to jj up on her waist, her eyebrows furrowed as she looked at pope.
"no, cobe." pope mumbled, rolling his eyes at the girl.
"you still love us though, right?" jj asked, looking at the girls with raised eyebrows. he had a smile on his face as he stood up, wrapping his arm around her shoulders before he pulled her closer to him. she immediately wrapped her own arm around his waist, feeling the taller boy ruffle her brown locks.
"yeah, whatever." sarah muttered.
"you still hate me, cupcake?" coby questioned, looking at the blonde with a spark in her eyes. everyone smiled at that when they saw it, glad that the girl was happy and that she had found someone.
"a little. we're both gonna get you back when you least expect it." sarah answered, biting back a smile as she looked at coby. she crossed her arms before she turned to look over at kie.
"watch your back, jake. boys." kie added, sarah humming in agreement.
"well, i welcome that challenge." pope shrugged.
"me too." jj nodded.
"me three." coby smirked. she looked at sarah with a challenging look, her eyebrows raised. the cameron girl simply rolled her eyes, her bottom lip slipping between her teeth.
"so, did you guys, you know. . ." pope started, gesturing to the two girls.
"reconcile our differences?" kie finished. sarah pushed her bottom lip our at she shook her head, no. she made a noise of disagreement. "not even close."
"but we're. . . willing to work together." sarah admitted, looking at kie with raised eyebrows.
"well, that sounds like a win to me." coby smiled, looking at the boys.
"yep." jj nodded.
"woogity, woogity, woogity." pope said, holding his hand out so him and the boys could wiggle their fingers. he then pushed his hand over to coby, the sawyer girl holding up her own hand to wiggle her fingers.
"you know why, guys?" jj asked, looking around at his friends. "hydroponic."
"don't say that." pope quickly shut down, shaking his head. that made the blonde boy shrug his shoulders, nudging coby slightly.
"all right, shut up." john b muttered before he turned to look at the girls. "you guys ready to jack some loot?"
"yeah, whatever." kie smiled, jumping onto the pogue.
"yep." sarah nodded. coby smiled at that, holding her hand out for sarah to take. the blonde girl grabbed coby's hand, jumping onto the pogue before she pulled the slightly taller girl into a hug.
"you missed me, huh?" coby mumbled into sarah's neck, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend.
"shut up." sarah muttered, placing a gentle kiss onto coby's shoulder.
coby's smile widened at that, sitting down at the stern of the boat before she pulled sarah onto her lap. "don't worry. i missed you too, cupcake."
"if you two keep flirting with each other, i'm gonna throw myself overboard." jj announced, looking at the couple with a small look of disgust.
"i can help with that, if you want me to, j." coby joked, looking over to her best friend with suggestive eyebrows. "i could just get up and push you off, you know? easy peasy, lemon fucking squeezy."
"i'd like to see you try, c." jj challenged, sending a smirk to the sawyer girl.
coby smiled back, swiftly wrapping her arms under sarah's legs before she picked the girl up and placed her on the stern. the cameron girl blushed at that, feeling her body warm up at the sudden action. coby quickly got up from her seat and walked over to jj, the maybank boy not having time to react before he felt coby's hands pushing him back. he went flying off the boat and into the water, a big splash following. coby started laughing, clapping her hands together as she watched jj break the surface. he was gasping for air as he pushed his hair out of his face.
"you were saying?" coby asked between laughs, watching as jj swam to the ladder of the boat. she sat back down, slapping the boy's ass as he walked past everyone to go the bow. he playfully glared at coby, the girl sending him a kiss.
"better sleep with one eye open, cobe." jj warned, taking his shirt off before twisted it up to wring it out. "imma get you back. pour a bucket of water over your head or some shit."
"okay." coby shrugged, wrapping her arms under sarah's legs once again before she pulled her onto her lap. she smiled when she saw sarah's flushed cheeks, planting a soft kiss onto the girl's shoulder. "let's go find the treasure!"
"you're a dork." sarah mumbled, smiling down at coby.
"yeah, but i'm your dork." coby shot back. sarah nodded at that, melting into coby. she felt content when the girl wrapped her arm around her waist, pulling her closer. she only felt like this with coby.

𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐈𝐄, on their way to the crain house. the sun had started to set on their journey to the old house. all of them were dressed in black since they would be sneaking into an old woman's house and taking gold. coby was sat in the back seat, kie sat next to her. sarah was sitting on coby's lap, the sawyer girl having her arms wrapped around sarah tightly as a seatbelt. coby's head was on sarah's shoulder since the cameron girl was leaning into coby. jj was sat in the makeshift seat behind john b's chair, the routledge boy driving. pope was in the passenger seat, his and john b checking over their items to make sure they have everything.
"you got rope?" john b questioned.
"got it." pope nodded.
grappling hook?"
"no grappling hook. we're not batman."
"pulley?"
"check." kie said, fixing the black beanie that was on her head.
"dark clothes."
"they're already on our bodies, john b." coby reminded as they pulled up outside the stone wall. sarah smiled at the way that coby said it, looking over her shoulder at the girl.
"flashlight?"
"check." jj said as he turned on his flashlight. everyone else did the same, checking to see if they were working properly.
"good. we're ready." john b announced, turning the van off.
"let's go." kie told her friends as john b climbed out and walked around the van.
"let's go get rich, guys." jj added.
"fuck yeah." coby nodded, letting go of sarah so that the blonde girl could climb out the twinkie. john b opened the side door opened.
"let's go, boys." sarah said, still sitting on coby's lap even though the girl had let go.
"and girls." kie quickly added, making coby nod at her.
"wait, wait, wait." john b quickly said, stopping his friends from exiting the van. coby peaked over sarah's shoulder with raised eyebrows, waiting for the long haired boy to continue talking. "i wanna say thank you, guys. seriously. it means a lot to me that you're here tonight."
"always." kie smiled, making the routledge boy chuckle.
"of course, man." pope mumbled before him and john b did the pogue handshake.
"well, you're not the only one i'm here for, so. . ." coby teased, placing her head on sarah's shoulder. "i'm also here taylor. and something named 'gold', i believe. yeah, that's it."
"way to ruin a moment, cobe." john b joked, earning a cheeky grin from the girl. "but yeah. let's do this for my dad and taylor." he finished. coby nodded at him, sending a wink.
"all right, we done with this circle jerk? can we go do this?" jj quizzed, looking around at the group.
"yeah." coby and kie nodded, the two girls looking at each other.
"let's go get that wheat in the water." pope said as john b moved out of the way. coby pulled back from sarah, letting the blonde girl get up from her lap.
"weed? i'm up for weed." jj joked, earning a laugh from coby. the maybank boy sent her a wink with a smirk.
"wheat. i said wheat." pope corrected.
"after you. ladies first." kie told sarah as they walked up to the stone wall. the curly haired girl then gestured for coby to go after sarah, which earned her a small glare. kie laughed at that before she climbed over the wall.
coby followed, jumping over the wall with ease. sarah looked at the sawyer girl with her mouth hung open slightly, heart in her eyes as she stared at her. kie stifled a laugh as she watched the way sarah reacted. coby turned around to look at the two girls, her eyebrows furrowing when she saw sarah staring at her. the blonde girl's cheeks were dusted with pink, confusing coby even more. sarah didn't know why, but watching coby do what she just did made her body warm up. only coby could do that to her because none of the boys that she had ever been with made her body react like that.
"what did i do?" coby questioned, looking between the two girls.
"n - nothing." sarah stuttered, shaking her head slightly. she nudged kie in the stomach when she heard the girl silently laughing behind her.
"a - are you sure?" coby asked, picking up on kie's laughter.
"yep." sarah nodded, holding her hand out for coby to take. coby smiled at that, interlocking her fingers with sarah's.
the three girls waited for the boys to jump over the wall. when they were over, all of them walked through the overgrown yard and towards the crain house. they stared up at the old house, small smiles on their faces as they went over what they were about to do. but that all went down the drain when a bright light quickly turned on. the group of six let out a string of profanities, all of them moving so that they could hide themselves. coby reacted the fastest, dropping down to the ground and pulling sarah down with her. the next thing that the group did was click their flashlights off.
"okay, so she has motion sensor lights." pope stated, making coby give him a pointed look.
"we could, uh, move really slowly, maybe." jj suggested. coby dropped her head onto sarah's shoulder, shaking it slightly.
"what?" the cameron girl asked, wanting to make sure the blonde boy had said what he just said.
"moving slowly is still motion, j." coby reminded, lifting her head from sarah's shoulder. jj shrugged his shoulders at the girl, not having anything else to say.
"oh, shit. let's throw a rock at it." john b then recommended, making his friends look at him like he was crazy.
"that's a really good idea. let the axe murderer know that we're here." kie complimented sarcastically.
"throw a rock at it?" pope repeated, looking at john b with knitted eyebrows.
"okay, do you have a better idea?" john b challenged, looking around at the pogues with raised eyebrows.
"literally anything but that." coby answered, kie pointing to her in agreement.
"what about the breaker?" sarah asked. "in the circuit box on the porch. we used to play hide-and-seek here as kids. and if we were brave enough, we'd go all the way up to the porch. i've seen it." she explained.
"no." coby quickly said when she processed what sarah was suggesting. "absolutely not. you're not going into a psycho's house alone."
"watch me." sarah shot back in a challenging manner. coby felt her stomach flutter at those words, looking at blonde girl with raised eyebrows. sarah stared back, her eyebrows raised as well.
"crain chops people into pieces." jj reminded.
"if you believed that, but she's like what, 85?" sarah questioned.
"yeah, something like that." jj nodded.
"she's probably barely still kicking." sarah finished.
"cupcake." coby silently called, making sarah looking at her. "you're not going. at least not by yourself."
"so how about we go with her, cobe?" kie suggested, leaning forward so that she could look at the girl.
coby thought about it, looking between kie and sarah. she knew that sarah and kie was gonna go without her if she said no. and it would make her feel better if she went with them, just to make sure that they were safe. plus, she didn't want to me the only one amongst the boys. "okay."
"we'll wait for your signal." pope told the three girls got up from the ground.
"okay." kie nodded. her, sarah, and coby all walked to the crain house in crouched positions. coby was in the front, her and sarah holding hands as the sawyer girl led the way.
"she must have a generator plugged into the main power supply." kie said as they approached the porch.
coby quickly shushed her, not wanting to take any chances of mrs.crain hearing them. this earned her an eyeball from the carrera girl, sarah giggling quietly. the trio walked up the porch stairs, sarah moving to the front so that she could go to the circuit box. kie pushed past coby, making the girl roll her eyes. coby opened the circuit box, only to see a bunch of wires and unfamiliar stuff tangled around in it. but there were no breakers.
"what the fuck is this?" she whispered, her eyebrows furrowed.
"where are the breakers?" sarah questioned in a hushed voices.
"shit. it go inside." kie hissed, her eyes trailing along the big wired that scaled up the wall and into the house. sarah and coby did the same, realizing what the three of them had to do. kie was the first to move, opening the old door.
"let's hope mrs.crain is in hibernation." coby mumbled as the three girls stepped inside. "i really fucking hope she is."
