instead of putting the girl down and going over to steven, jeremiah kept the girl and walked over to him, laurel, and susannah.

"you two do this every single year," susannah giggled.

"he's my favorite," lizzy spoke from jeremiah's shoulder where her head rested. "she's my favorite," the boy blushed once he realized his hand placement. his hands gripped the bottom of her thighs, quite close to her butt, however she didn't seem to notice.

she did. burying her face into his neck to hide her red cheeks because she did indeed, notice. "have you been working out?" "mhm."

when lizzy looked up, she saw belly and conrad's reunion.

"i liked you better with glasses," the boy smiled awkwardly. "too bad, i like me better without them," belly added to the tension.

"booooring," lizzy whispered to jeremiah.

"oh you leave them alone. not everyone can be like us, liz," the boy grinned, turning his head from conrad and belly to lizzy's face, which due to the fact that he was holding her, was dangerously close.

"hey, hey, hey! guys, guys," steven interrupted. jeremiah slowly let the girl out of his hold, seeing her cross her arms slightly, he gave her a peck on her temple. lizzy let out a small gasp as she looked to the boy who was grinning from ear to ear as he refused to look at her.

"i- i don't know about you guys, but i think- i think it's time for a-"

"belly flop!!!" jeremiah, steven, and lizzy all exclaimed in unison. belly tried to run but ran directly into steven's arms. wriggling out of his and right into lizzy's. conrad joined the three, quickly wrapping his arms around her torso, allowing the others to grab her feet.

"belly flop!"

"belly flop!"

"belly flop!"

"one!" swing one. "two!" swing two. "three!" release and splash.

"how's the water?"

"guys! i hurt my ankle!" belly cried, a smirk planted on her face as conrad stepped over to pull her out. once their hands interlocked, belly pulled the older boy into the water.

"idiot!" lizzy laughed. steven glanced at jeremiah, them nonverbally planning to throw her in. lizzy saw their faces and turned around, wrapping her arms tightly around jeremiah. "i go in, you go in."

"legs up!" jeremiah shrugged, the girl wrapping her legs around the boy yet again. without a care in the world, jeremiah ran into the water, lizzy latched on tight.

"belly!" conrad yelled, splashing the girl before grabbing her and pulling her underwater around the same time jeremiah and lizzy came up. belly and conrad came up from the water, heading inside right after steven, leaving the two outside.

"am i really your favorite?" lizzy asked.

"you know you are lizbear."

"jere, i-"

"yo, hold that thought," jeremiah interrupted, pushing himself out of the pool and running inside. she knew jeremiah was messing around so she followed not far behind.

"-look at you!" susannah smiled, grabbing belly's hands.

"lizzy you're dripping wet too! where are your girls' manners?" laurel chastised, leaving to grab towels.
