I stood in the pool dumbfounded. What just happened?
"Everyone who votes that Louis talks to Zayn, say I." Liam announced.
"I." Harry said.
"I." Niall said.
"I." Liam said.
"Me." I said.
I climbed out of the pool, and I grabbed a towel. I dried off as I walked into the house. The cool air hit me, causing me to shiver.
"Zayn?" I called out. I walked into the room, and Zayn was sitting on his bed.
"Go away." Zayn said stubbernly.
"Hey, you wanna talk?" I asked.
"No." Zayn said rudly.
"If you tell me your problum, I'll tell you what I was going to say to Harry." I said, trying to be persuesive.
"Really?" Zayn asked.
"Really." I said.
"Okay, so, the truth is, I always wanted to learn how to swim, but I can't." Zayn explained glumly.
"I can teach you." I offered.
"Yeah, but I'll be embarressed if I learned in front of the rest of the boys." Zayn said. He sighed, and shook his head.
"We can have privet lessons at night." I suggested.
''Yeah, but it won't work." Zayn said.
"We can try." I offered.
"Will you promise to keep doing them until I quit?" Zayn asked.
"Promise." I smiled.
"Okay, so, what were you going to tell Harry?" Zayn asked.
"Right, um, I was going to ask him if he wanted to be like Gracie." I explained. That was easy.
"Who's Gracie?" Zayn pressed.
Dang it! "She's an old girlfriend, who kinda fell off a cliff." I explained slowly.
Zayn started laughing. "You're joking, right?"
I shook my head.
"Oh, sorry." Zayn said.
"Promise to keep it secret?" I asked.
"Promise. My lips are sealed." Zayn smiled.
I sighed. "So, lesson's will start tommorow." I said.
"What time?" Zayn asked.
"The time is TBD." I said, and I walked out of the house.
"Wait! What does TBD mean?" Zayn called after me. I chuckled, and walked back to the pool.
***********************************************************************************
I was back in the pool. Zayn agreed to hold the Banana Off. So far, everyone was struggling to beat my record of 9 seconds!
"Harry, it's your turn!" Zayn announced. Harry nodded, and grabbed the banana. "Go!" Zayn screamed.
Harry jumped. He wrestled the banana into balance. He was at seven seconds, when the banana flipped.
"Ohhhh!" We all chorused. Harry came up, spitting out mouthfulls of water.
"Niall, go face that banana!" Zayn cried. Niall got positioned on the banana. "Go!" Zayn screamed.
Niall jumped into the water on the banana, but flipped immediatly.
"Boo!" We all chorused. Niall came up, gasping for air, and flaring his arms.
