Tiffany's POV:

8:00 pm...

"You sure you don't want to get in the water, Tiff?" Stormy asks, looking over her shoulder at me. I nod, "Yeah! I'm sure."

"Suit yourself!!" Stormy says before running off the dock and into the water, splashing. Christian jumps back before the water can land on him, "AGH! This is why I decided to stay in the cabin the first time!!"

I laugh as Travis looks over at him, frowning, "It's just lake water. You act like it's going to kill you..."

"It might!" Christian protests, sitting cross-legged on the grass next to me, "There are all types of bacteria in that water."

"Right..." Travis nods slowly, clearly not buying into that, "If you say so, germaphobe."

I'm at the spot with Travis and the others and almost everyone has jumped into the water except for me, Travis, and Christian. It's around maybe 8 p.m. and we're just out here chillin'.

Everyone sat around the bonfire and talked about anything. May and Stormy were stuck to my sides like glue the whole time, we made plans to hang out sometime, just the girls. After a little bit, Travis and Josh were wrestling one another because Josh thought he could beat Travis in a wrestling match.

That did not end well, lol.

Needless to say, Travis won and Josh now owes him 100$.

Anyway, May was first to hop into the lake along with Jamie, and now they're off doing their own little thing. As for Stormy and Joshua, they're competing to see who can make the biggest splash.

So far, Joshua is winning.

"HA! That splash was weak!!" Joshua teases, as Stormy surfaces. She rubs her hair from her face and glares at him, "NUH-UH!! THAT WAS HUGE!! EVEN TIFFANY CAN AGREE WITH ME!!"

She whips around to look at me, hopes in her eyes, "TIFFANY! TELL JOSHY THAT THAT SPLASH WAS HUGE!!!"

"It was pretty big," I agree, shrugging. "But bigger than Josh's? Nope." Travis says flatly, eating the last of his s'more, "SORRY STORM!"

"No, you're not!!!" She pouts, swimming away, Joshua following close behind, laughing. I giggle, and Travis shrugs raising his hands defensively, "You asked for my opinion!"

Stormy whips around to face him, angry, "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON MY SIDE?!"

"I can't tell a lie!!!"

"And that's a lie..." Christian says, sipping his Sprite. Travis shoots him a look, leaning back in his chair, frowning, "I didn't ask you, now did I, Christian???"

"Hey! Freedom of speech!" Christian states, raising his hands defensively, "I have the right to say what's on my mind."

Travis narrows his eyes at him for a long moment before asking, "Shouldn't you be at football practice or something???"

"I decided not to show up today...and yesterday." Christian explains, grunting as he stands up, "Missing two days wouldn't hurt nothing, plus Coach Burnham likes me, so." He then stretches before digging into his pocket and pulling out a blunt.

He also pulls out a lighter as he places the blunt between his lips. Lighting it, Christian takes a deep breath, and Travis jumps up too.

"Ooh!! Let me get a hit!!" He says, walking over and standing next to Christian. Pulling the blunt from his lips, Christian chuckles, blowing smoke from his lips as he looks up at Travis, "Sir, this is not for sharing."
