"Oh, my God. That's the girl Conrad was kissing at the bonfire"
"And that's the girl Steven was with"
"Hi" Belly smiled as the three girls sat down, "Hi" they all replied at once
"Hey" Nicole, the girl Conrad was kissing spoke looking at Delilah
"Hi" she smiled
"I just wanna apologize for the other night"
"No, no, you have nothing to apologize for. I was the one being mean asking who you were, it was none of my business"
"It was rude on my part also cause im pretty sure Conrad told me about you guys, i just didnt know it was you"
"Can re restart, please? This is my first time doing this and i dont want anyone to hate me" Delilah laughed as Nicole nodded
"Of course. Im Nicole" she said putting her hand out
"Delilah" Delilah replied shaking her hand
"I just wanna say i love the yellow and pink together, it goes well" Nicole smiled
"Thank you! I love your dress, it's so perfect"
"I told my mom the only way i would do this is if i could bring my girlfriend, cause i thought it would be a deal killer, but the club has been surprisingly chill about the whole thing" Marisa spoke up leaning back in her chair
"Im honestly shocked" Dara laughed a little
"Literally, Dara, i was expecting a conversion camp to spring out of the bushes. No. Lesbians and debutantes are, like, a completely juxtaposing thing"
"Opposites" Gigi, the girl Jeremiah ditched Delilah for added
"Yeah, but Cousins likes to pretend to be woke. Trust me. My family deals with it constantly" Nicole added
"The things we do for college applications" Marisa sighed
"Dont worry, Marisa. You'll get in everywhere" Shayla smiled at her
"Wait. Where are you applying?" Belly spoke up looking at Marisa
"You know, the usual. Every Ivy minus Cornell"
"Mm-hmm"
"Ithaca is so bleak" Gigi said as they laughed
"I know. What about you three?"
"Oh, Belly and Delilah are only Sophomores. Right? I think that's what Conrad told me"
"Yeah, we'll be Junior's in the fall and Melly's a Senior in the fall"
"So, is this your first summer here in Cousins?" Dara questioned a little confused
"No, Delilah and I have been coming here our entire life" Belly laughed a little
"Yeah, they're, like, family friends with Conrad and Jeremiah" Nicole smiled
"So, Delilah, uh, are you and Jeremiah, like, a-a thing? or are you gonna take him to the ball?" Gigi asked looking at her
Delilah went to talk but was cut off by Nicole and Melly
"And if they were?"
"Oh, my God, back off, Geeg"
"It was a question"
"They're like basically related, ok? You have nothing to worry about"
"She has everything to worry about" Melly smiled drinking her water
