—NOVA POV—
"You're sure, this is the right place?" Tom pulled into the huge mansion.
"Uhm, I think so." I stepped out of the car, going into the back. I got the things we brought, just backup clothes, amongst pool toys.
"Nate!" I shouted, walking up to the front door. Within a couple of seconds, it got swung open by Tyler. "He's in the backyard, already." He points to the sliding doors, letting Tom and me, inside.
I smiled at him, walking down the marble tiling. I felt Tom colliding into me, every two seconds. "Why are you walking crooked?!" I pushed him.
"Maybe you're the one bumping into me, ever thought about that? HMM?!" He got all up on me. I placed my hand on his face, trying to get him as far as I could.
"Why do you only ever act like this, when we are with people?" I rolled my eyes at him, sliding open the glass door. The music got more intense, as I stepped on the cement.
"What girls did you invite?" Tom asked me.
"Starr, Kendall, Emerson, and Jules."
He nodded, starting to waltz off exploring. I noticed Nate, flipping between playlists on his phone. "Whatchu doin'?" I crept up on him.
"Jesus." He turned around immediately, placing a hand on his heart. "What happened to, hello? How are you?" I crossed my arms, looking Nate up and down. "Hello, sorry. You scared me, how are you?" He pulled me into a hug, I smiled in content. Hugging back.
"I'm good, you?" I gave him, one last squeeze.
"I'll answer, that question after you answer mine. Can I kiss you?"
"Oh, so now you're bold?" I kept my stance, he copied it. Staring at me. "But yes, I suppose you can." I sighed, giving in.
He lets go of that stare, his lips curving into a smile. I felt his hand interlacing with mine, pulling me in closer. I tilt my head up, allowing two pecks! That's it folks.
"Okay, yeah. Safe to say I'm good." He didn't let go of my hand, beginning to show me around to where all the food and drinks were. "You better, not pull me that 'I'm tanning' shit." He mentions. "Nope, I came to swim." I reassured.
—
All the girls were here now.
And now, I was fighting for my life.
"Do not throw me!" I warned Nate, dangling off his shoulders. "Said you came to swim, didn't you?" He lightly chuckled, before I could even respond. My whole body was getting launched.
"Bitch!" I resurfaced, pushing the hair out of my face. He suddenly cannonballed in, splashing me again. Everyone was paired off into groups.
Carson and Starr, were talking while sitting on some lounge chairs. Tyler and Jules were squared off into the hot tub, Johnny and Kendall apparently had a thing sophomore year.
They were somewhere around the house, I did not want to know where.
And of course, Tom already had his tongue down Emerson's throat by the food and drinks. So! Everything seemed normal.
"Aye! Face sucker!" Nate calls out for Tom, I snorted at the nickname.
Tom squints his eyes, at us. "Let's prevent teen pregnancy, and have you guys come to play chicken fight with us!" Nate shouts, for them.
"Come here, now." I demanded, squirting him with my boobie gun.
"You're immature." Tom remarks, pulling on the fingertips of Emerson's hand, and slowly submerging into the pool. "I know you are, but what am I?" I taunted.
That's when I suddenly realized.
We've known Emerson since like, first grade- Oh my God!?! She's the girl, isn't she?!
I'll have to ask him about it later, and if she was. I had no problem with that, not that I ever got a say in Tom's love life. But, she's sweet. Aww, if she is the girl. That would be cute.
"Fair game, no cheating. No nothing." I said, getting on Nate's shoulders. "Fair game." Tom and Emerson say, in unison as she works her way up to his shoulders.
Nate gave us the countdown, all of us getting into position. Once he yelled, "Go!" It started with some light, pushing and shoving. A lot of laughter followed along with it.
"You suck." Emerson, poked at me. "That's all you!" I gasped, pulling her in deeper. Everyone looked at me confused, as the boys bumped chests. I smiled to myself, laughing evilly.
I unexpectedly pushed her back out, her body falling into the water.
Call me crazy, but I think I've just won.
"WOO!" I screamed, joyful. Nate lets me off his shoulders, holding my waist. He balances me to, stand beside him. "I'm bored, now." I tell him.
"You've just won, and you're bored?" Tom sighed.
"Yeah, everyone's squared up. Doing their own thing, I mean come on it's the last day of summer. Shouldn't it be more fun?" I twisted at the ends of my hair, squeezing the water out.
"We were doing just fine, until you made us get in the pool." Tom complains, stepping out again.
"I thought this would be more fun." Nate nudges my shoulder. "Me too." I frowned, at everyone not wanting to interact. Suddenly, I got an idea.
"Why don't you come have dinner, at my house? It's still only 6PM, we could have fun." I suggest.
"Appropriate, fun." I clarified, waving a finger in Nate's face. "Appropriate fun." He nodded.
"I'm serious, you could watch me dominate on Fortnite." I poked, at his sides.
"Actually no, whenever I play that game it ends really badly. Two years ago, I gave Tom a concussion. We can figure out something to do though. And then ill see you again tomorrow, in school." Nate and, I sat on the edge of the pool.
"And leave, all these people here at my house? My dad's gonna be back in two days." He looked around, at all the unattended couples.
"Eh, they'll leave when they get bored." I shrugged it off. "Okay, let me shower first. Then we can leave." Nate stood up, I followed along.
