at the pool

After wiping tears and getting ready to go, we walked down to the pool to be greeted by Adam and Luis. Luis gave Connie a small hug, so adorable. Even though she did cheat on Guy to be with Luis, she wanted the best for Guy still. She even wanted me to be with him. She was the sweetest. When it was around 8 o'clock the weather was still blazing. I chose to wear a white top with a yellow bottom. I loved the way it looked.

"Y'all look great!" A voice yelped up from the back. Dwayne, Dean, and Fulton showed up. I nodded at him in a confused form of thank you.

"I thought it was going to be just us?" I discreetly whispered to Julie and Connie. We all looked at each other confusingly.

"It was just supposed to be the 5 of us." Connie whispered back. Soon the rest of the team arrived. Except for Averman, Jesse and Guy. I kinda wanted Guy to be here. Maybe tell him how I had a small crush on him. But that I didn't want anything to change. I know he wouldn't feel the same. But my feelings have grown stronger for him since he opened up about his dad. He trusted me to tell the truth about it. He trusted me.

We all splashed around for a good half hour when we all got out and dried off and got drinks of water. I couldn't believe how nice California was. Sun is hot, cool water. A whole new team that is amazing. Never in a millions years would I have imagined this. I checked my phone to see some texts from Sierra.

hey sorry we're at the pool rn!

but we won 9-2 and i blocked a lot of shots, hockey is really fun. i'll text you more when i get back to my dorm, shouldn't be to long:)

When I glanced up from my phone a saw Julie on top of Fulton's shoulder and Connie on Luis's it was hilarious watching them. Soon enough they both pushed each other into the water and splashed everyone. We all laughed at them and jumped back in. The team unanimously decided it would be best to act like 4 year olds and have handstand competitions and underwater tea parties. Deans idea for the tea party. We eventually all got tired and saw that it was 10:30 and we had a game against Italy tomorrow. I was excited and super happy.

We said our good nights and watched Connie and Luis, the new couple, hug and give kisses on the cheek. It was adorable. But it reminded me that Guy wasn't there. Did no one tell him? He was the only one that wasn't there.

"You okay?" Charlie asked me. Adam walked up to us as he finished his question.

"Yeah, but did no one tell Guy we were here?" I responded.

Charlie and Adam looked at each other and smile. They were up to something. "We told him he could come if he wanted. He said he was going to bed early. He did play hard today." Adam said to me.

"I guess you're right but I feel like he's feeling left out." I sighed.

We all walked to the elevator. The the three of us squeezed in. Alongside Julie, Connie, and Kenny.
