you’re a pogue, and you always will be.

and that’s why you’re so close to the others, especially to kie, sarah, and jj.

because you understand how it feels to be one, and the impossible hardships you have to endure to be one.

it’s one of the reasons in which rafe has a soft spot for you — and his sister too, but he’ll never admit that.

never mind that, it was a sort of ‘will they, won’t they’ type of thing, but at the end of the day, you’re a pogue and he’s a kook.

it wouldn’t work out.

but, there always was that undeniable connection between you both.

and when ruthie almost runs over kie and actually kills a baby turtle, you don’t hesitate to go with kie to give the kooks a piece of your minds for their messed up behavior, which meant having to see rafe, who surprisingly doesn’t want anything to do with the kooks antagonizing the pogues, i.e., you and your friends.

you just knew that it was either you or jj that would have to have kie’s back, and it’s better that it’s you than jj, since he’s easy to trigger.

and when kie confronts ruthie and topper? not only does ruthie have no remorse, but you and rafe are forced to look at each other.

and when ruthie instigates a fight between herself and kie, it only gets worse as kie’s forced to go back to the pogues — if a pogue was caught fighting a kook, it wouldn’t end well.

this only makes you mad. because it sucks how the kooks can do whatever they want, while the pogues, including yourself, have to go through so much trouble because it.

even as kie calls after you to follow, you stay rooted in front of the kooks for another second, refusing to leave without doing something.

ruthie can tell as she raises an eyebrow at you, as if saying: your move, pogue princess.

pogue princess, which has been the name that rafe gave you, and it just stuck — he almost wishes he could take it back now because of the negative way it’s used now as an insult towards you.

but, what are you going to do? be impulsive? or be the better person and leave?
