Pete's POV

I sleep through a nightmare and wake up doomed.

If there is any logical explanation for this, it is not to my knowledge.

In fact, I don't care about any explanation.

I'm just fine being oblivious.

"P'Pete! P'Pete! Right here!"

Little Vegas beckoned to me with a big smile.

"Hello kid!"

"Hey Pete! I was going to get you in your room! We saw Vegas running along the beach this morning, but we didn't see you! Are you okay? Breakfast has already been collected, but we can check if they prepare something for you."

"I slept a little longer. I'm not hungry."

"Let's play in the hotel pool then!"

"No, no, I'm fine. You can go, Venice. I stay with Little Vegas."

"Great idea, Phi!"

"No! Look, Vegas is by the pool too. Let's have some fun!"

That jerk is by the pool surrounded by people.

For all I know, he could drown in that pool.

He pranked me in a way I would never imagine.

"Geez, why do you think P'Pete would go to the pool because of that asshole?!"

"No cursing!"

I must agree with Little Vegas. He is an asshole!

"You're right, little Vegas...why would I...?! I'm staying here with you."

"Are you mad at him, Pete? I do believe it was not his intention to hurt you. Please, forgive him."

In fact, yesterday it was his intention to hurt me in that fight. But it's not the problem. The problem is what he did to me last night ...

"Sure..."

"Come with me to the pool then! Me and Little Vegas. We can stay on the other side. Let's enjoy. It's the last day here!"

"Actually, I can't..."

"Why?"

"...Uh...'cause a b..b..b..."

"What?"

"...b...b...b..."

"Could you speak louder, Pete? I can't understand you."

"Are you deaf, P'Venice? He said a bug bit his butt. Little Vegas replied.

"A bug what...? Porsche and Khun Kinn approach us."

"A bug bit his butt." Venice pointed to me.

"Was it big? Let me see it, Pete? I have some ointment in my bag..."

Why does my butt suddenly become a hot topic for everyone?

Porsche tries to pull my shorts down to see it.

"No...no...no...no need, thanks...Just give me some water. It's hot here. Thanks"

I take a bottle of water from Porsche's hand and take two big gulps.

"What's going on?"

WTF. Vegas suddenly approaches. Droplets of water trickle down Vegas' muscular body.... 

Sunlight makes the tiny droplets sparkle like diamonds... 

WTF, Pete! What's wrong with you? What are you looking at? What are you even thinking?!
