I find myself sitting by my neighbors' vividly turquoise pool, surrounded by Jessica, Alessandra and Cameron. Time really has gone by since the last time I saw Stefan. It's been what, a couple of weeks? We've talked, but every time we talk, our conversations become shorter and shorter, like sand slowly drifting through my fingers, ready to vanish soon.

We're all just sitting by the pool, silently. While I am strumming away quietly on Cameron's guitar, Jessica scoots closer to me and lays her head on my shoulder. Alessandra's eating a hotdog, 2 slices of pizza, a pack of nutter butters, Fanta, and an ice cream sandwich. Man, she's a stick, but she eats WAYYY too much. How she stays like a stick with no exercise whatsoever is beyond me. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Cameron take out his phone. I sense what's coming, so I start blowing my hair with my mouth so it will cover my face partly. As I shake my head violently to get my hair to cover my face, I hear, "Behold the ever-beautiful, majestic, and wild AMBERLIONNNNNN!" Followed by that, he adds a laugh, and while I swat his thigh. "Ow, that hurt Ambie." "You get hurt too easily, Cams." I hear the video replaying, and I know that means one thing - Snapchat. No, no, no, this can not be happening. "CAAAAAAAMIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!" "Yes, Miss... um, what should I call you? Oh, yes. Yes, Miss hAMBERgerlion? How may I help you?" He responded oh-so calmly. "Oh my gosh, Cameron! You shouldn't call Lamby that!" Alessandra mentioned. "Thanks Al." I said with a laugh. "You should call her hotDoggerLion! Get it? Cause she likes hot dogs!" Alessandra stated."Al, dude, the hot dog name doesn't even have my name in it, so how would it be a nickname for me? And okay, I don't love hotdogs, but the occasional one is nice." We were all standing up now; Al's on Cami's back, Jess and I are standing with our arms hooked. A fake laugh exited me, but soon turned into an evil maniacal laugh with Jessica joining me. We looked at each other, and we knew what to do. "Cami, help me! Ow! I think a nerve just pinched inside of my leg!! Ow, ow, ow, Cami, it hurts!!" "Here, B, let me help you." He picked me up bridal style, with Al still piggy back riding on him. "Dang, Cami! You're super strong! How can you carry me and Al at the same time? Oh, yeah, I forgot, Al's a stick." I mentioned. "That's cause I work out, obviously.. Oh, and some beneficial results of working out immensely are muscles! I have abs, pecs, and just muscles in general! Want to see them?" Cameron said. "Um, no thank you, Cami. Just help meeeee!" Cameron mumbled something like, "You will see them someday, I promise." "What was that, Cam?" "Nothing, Amber." Jessica motioned for Al to get off Cameron. Just before Jess pushed us in, Al jumped off. She ran off saying, "Oy, guys! We should do something later since it's Lamby's last day here! Text me! Laytaaaaa!"

I didn't care if I got wet, I just wanted to get Cami wet. He HATES it when his glorified "flawless" hair gets wet. The only time he makes exceptions is when he actually wants to swim, so he preps his hair for "swim time", as he calls it, and when he has photoshoots with Bryant at the beach. We fell into the water, he didn't move, until he popped out suddenly, gasped for air, and then with me still bridal-style in his arms, said, "Ambie! You can't swim! I almost forgot! It's super good that I was here with you, you could have drowned!" He said, before planting a caring kiss on my cheek. He looks really worried for some reason. I responded with, "Oh, Cami. There's alot of things you don't know about me." There, I swung my legs off of his arm, pushed off the bottom of the pool, and swam away. "Ta-ta!" I spurted out in a sing-song voice.

When I got out of the pool, Jess and I went to my house to shower.

When I was drying off, I replayed the pool scene in my mind.

Cami kissed me.

But, then again, he always does.
