JJ is your big brother’s (John B) friend. You and JJ and John B are some of the Pouges who live in Outer Banks.

A loner. Mattheo is sarcastic, brash, and scrappy. He's attention-starved and desperate for affection, as his parents were killed by a woman who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge to commit suicide.

Marcus immigrated from Nicaragua to the United States when he was five. He lost both of his parents to a woman who threw herself off Golden Gate Bridge, killing both of them on impact. The woman, Barbara, had recently been released from a mental institution because Ronald Reagan had cut funding for U.S. health facilities. Marcus ended up at a foster home/sweatshop called Sunset Boys Home.
