Clay POV.

Wilbur and Nick seemed shocked when they saw 'my' house. It's obvious they thought that it was another one of those rumours spread around by all the girls crushing on me at school. I invited the pair inside and showed them up to my room before sitting down at my desk. Wilbur sat down on the couch and looked around with an expression of mixed emotions, both awe and surprise, Nick, on the other hand had a face of disbelief, guess he still didn't buy it.

"So have either of you two thought of any ideas for the project?" They didn't need to give me an answer, we all already knew they hadn't. I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh in frustration, quiet enough for neither of them to hear me.

After 5 minutes of me trying to type a list of ideas as coming up short I turned around to see both Wilbur and Nick on their phones. My eyes trailed back as my chair swiveled around to look back out the window, and then I saw a flash of movement.
I narrowed my eyes as I saw Zak and Darryl talking on the grass, George was out of sight but he was probably somewhere nearby.

"What the hell are you looking at out there Clay?"
Behind me, Nick was following my gaze out of the window, but it seems he didn't see Zak or Darryl because if he did I'm sure he'd storm out to confront and possibly kill the ravenette.
"Just thought my dog was running across the lawn, must have been a bird," I gave a simple shrug and spun the chair around to look up at him, "I thought you were busy on your phone, why are you over here?"

"Will and I are bored as fuck. We are going to go check out your house, just wanted to see how much you'd done first." His eyes trailed over to my computer screen but I pushed the lid shut before he could actually read anything. "I've done enough, maybe I could give you a tour. Wouldn't want you two to get lost." I glanced back out the window and let out an internal sigh of relief when my three friends weren't there.

George POV.

Darryl and Zak were laying on the grass holding hands, and by God I wish that was me and Clay. Why the hell did he have to end up with Nick and Wilbur instead of literally anyone else.

I was inside grabbing drinks for all three of us when I glanced up in the direction of Clay's bedroom window. He was sitting at his desk, Nick and Wilbur probably someone behind him and the blond was looking out the window. Maybe I could send him a text, tell him to try and get Nick and Wilbur out of the house so he could come hang out with us.

I pulled out my phone and sent him a text, asking him how long he thought they'd be there. As I typed I called Darryl and Zak inside, telling them to come get their drinks. They stood and walked inside, their arms still intertwined and we sipped on the cold drinks quietly.

Once we'd finished I looked at my watch, 3:45. Those two assholes still could be here for another hour. I needed a way to distract myself, luckily there were two people here with me that could probably be a useful distraction.
"Is there anything you guys want to do... besides make out with eachother?" I asked them both.
"George!" Darryl looked angry but blushed at my words, Zak smirked and rolled his eyes (although he clearly wasn't against the idea).

"Why don't we just go to the indoor pool" the ravenette spoke up, Darryl and I turned to look at him before nodding. We all started walking to the pool.
We got to the pool and each changed into some swimming clothes.

When we'd all gotten changed Darryl and I waded into the warm water and watched as Zak walked to the opposite end of the pool before diving in. He swam over to us and somehow us just swimming around in the water turn into a water fight, then that turned into a water wresting match between Darryl and Zak, and that's bound to end up in the two of them making out.

I sighed out and wondered how Clay was doing.

Clay POV.

Wilbur and Nick walked around the house, peaking into almost every room, looking for flaws or something to sabotage me. I followed behind the pair, not enjoying the fact that they were poking around George's house while he was here. The brunette, the ravenette and the green-eyed boy could be in one of the rooms they snooped around in and then it would be game over.

Eventually they made their way down the long hallways and stopped in front of the indoor pool. I was feeling extremely anxious, so far I hadn't seen any sign of George, Zak or Darryl, so with each room Nick and Wilbur looked in they would have more of a chance of seeing my friends than in a previous room.

The pair opened the doors to the indoor pool and looked around for a moment, they seemed like they were about to move on again when the Brit noticed something, "why the hell are the lights on in here if it's empty?"
My eyes widened, the other's were probably in here, "oh-um. My sister must have left the lights on after she went swimming. She leaves light's on all the time."

Wilbur raised an eyebrow in suprise, "I never knew you had a sister."
"Well you never asked. Figured you wouldn't care either way" I replied with a shrug of my shoulders.

Then we heard a small splashing noise coming from inside the room. I could see both Nick and Wilbur's eyes narrowed in suspicion, when the hell did they become ace detectives?  They stepped into the room.

George POV.

I laid on my back floating in the water on my own, Zak and Darryl both apparently had to go to the bathroom at the same time and would probably both be gone for awhile. How coincidental.

One point a few minutes before the pair left to go to the bathroom we'd found a bunch of floaties which I never knew we had. Right now I was drifting beside a giant duck inflatable.

Then I heard the sound of the door opening and my eyes widened. Fearing it was Nick and Wilbur I dove underwater and sat under the floaties, which would come to be a stupid decision.

I expected the people to leave and I forced my eyes open under the water to watch for any movement but none came. The three blurry figures just stood there, staring into the room. It seems they were talking, and they didn't seem to be in a rush to go anywhere.

The 3 men were clearly Nick, Wilbur and Clay and my eyes grew redder due to the chlorine as I watched underwater for them to leave.

I'd been waiting, without being able to take a breath for almost 40 seconds and was running out of air. For the moment I didn't care what was going to happen and forced my head above the water, taking large desperate breaths as though they might be the last I ever take. I didn't bother returning underwater, there was no point. The sounds of Nick and Wilbur's voices could be heard easily, they knew I was here.

"What the... Why the fuck is George here?"
"Yeah. Did you invite him to your house to fuck after we left Clay?"
The two men asked, sounding confused but more so angry.

By the time I had made my way to the edge of the pool Clay was there. He helped me out of the water, not caring that he was drenching his clothes in the process, before wrapping a towel over my shoulders. We both then turned to face the other two, mentally preparing ourselves for whatever questions or insults they threw at us.
