Froy Gutierrez as Chad.

Looking into chad's gleaming blue eyes warmed my heart more than words could explain. We were both in close proximity to each other laughing. As the laughs faded away, our smile drifted off as well. The moment was over and taking into account our surroundings I looked for Katie. There she was, Katie had isolated her self in the corner of the deep end. Katie had been staring at Chad and I. I quickly smiled and waved, but I soon realized it wouldn't be returned as Katie paddled herself back to the group of people socializing in the deep end. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion, I then climbed out of the pool to dry myself on the deck, which then seemingly became an invitation for Chad and I to talk more.

I sat myself down and wrapped my self in my fluffy white towel. Chad with his beautiful smile sat next to me and soon said "That towel looks comfortable." I laughed and mentioned how comfortable it was, my giddiness was very quick to go because as soon as Chad had the opportunity he ripped my towel away from me and soon cocooned himself. "Give it back! Come on Chad!" Chad got up and began a sprint I chased for several minutes, but I soon became frustrated. I sat down with a very obvious frown which was quick to be realized by Chad. As soon as Chad had gone, he had returned to put a smile on my face.

Chad's blonde hair engulfed my face as he picked me up, I giggle and squirmed a bit. Chad then wrapped us both in the same big fluffy towel and I looked up at him and giggled. It seemed as if it were only the two of us in the world, but that changed quickly when someone yelled "Get a room!" Chad and I laughed together and walked ourselves inside I sat down on his counter and I then heard my favorite five words in the entire universe. "Would you like hot chocolate?" Chad said as he watched me with those gorgeous blue eyes. "Yes please!" I smiled like a child on christmas and thought to myself how could someone be so perfect.

As I waited on my hot chocolate Katie walked inside and I immediately squealed of happiness and wrapped my arms around her. The hug was not reciprocated so I let go and rested my hands on her shoulder in confusion. I softly smiled and asked "Wanna go outside?" She shook her head in agreement. "I'll be back." I told Chad as I wore the largest smile on my face. I walked out with Katie and our bare feet were soon standing on the rough bricks that were laid out on the driveway.

Katie looked up at me and in an instant she told me she wasn't mad, just sad and then gave me an enormous hug. Allowing our embrace to end I questioned her on what upset her. "Chad." My head tilted in question. "What about Chad?" I asked. Katie began to cry before she could tell me anything else. Yet I soon knew what she meant. "You like him, don't you." In our second embrace her head shook up and down on my shoulder. I began to cry as well, "You knew I liked him why didn't you tell me?" She never responded, instead Katie walked away. As I was left to myself, a chilly wind swept upon me. I couldn't help but became selfish. I thought to myself on how Jason and I are going to work together and i'd do whatever it takes to have Chad. Even if that means working my hardest to make Katie fall for Jason.

Authors Note: Would Jason's character be better pictures as Manu Rios?
