The calming sound of water splashing fills mikayla's ears as she sits on a towel concealing mini pebbles next to nick. with the clear, blue sky and the sun shining brightly, a warm glow is casted over everything it touches.
mikayla removes the claw clip from her hair, letting it fall down to her shoulders while the nature surrounding her seems to come alive. the air is fresh and invigorating, seeming to make everyone fall more energized as the rest of the friends play in the lake.
"stop it matt!" maria loudly squeals, squinting her eyes as he splashes her in the face. she falls back slightly into the shallow water, her hair sticking to her body as it absorbed the liquid.
the water may be slightly dirty, most likely filled with all sorts of bacteria, but it's cooling everybody down while also making them feel cheerful. it's friday, and they're all glad that they're here and not sitting in the school that forces them to be moody.
mason runs his hands through his ginger curls, his freckles illuminated by the rays of sunshine reflecting on his skin. he stands in the water with lucille and nathan, the three of them conversing beneath a willow tree hanging over the lake.
miks props her body up using her elbows, frustrated because of the weather and also chris. he's in the water, slightly isolated from the rest of his friends. she notices this, as well as the fact that he hasn't spoken to her all day but she doesn't care.
of course it hurts mikayla that she fell for him, but she can't help but feel that she can't even be mad since they were never dating in the first place.
the sunshine reflects against chris' chain as he slowly turns around, now facing mikayla. even with the distance between them, she feels that intense connection with him and she hates herself for it. it seems like whenever they stare at each other, all she thinks about is they way he would—
"—mikayla," nick utters and her attention fortunately shifts away from chris, turning her head to face the triplet next to her. "i was saying how chris has been acting weird," he clearly acknowledges his brother's attitude and mikayla agreeingly nods her head.
"something's up with him," mikayla quietly states, her eyes glued to chris as he travels through the lake to his other brother. "he's been acting weird," she chews on her bottom lip, playing with the rings on her finger.
