Science of Owls

leeches...

Chapter 27 

I hadn't had any of those dreams again, not since the first one. My sore throat was killing me though! I couldn't stop it, it just ...happens.

The term seemed to be quite relaxed for the first few weeks, until they announced the swimming carnival. I hated this day for numerous reasons. For one thing my body wasn't up to scratch with every other girls. I had hips and boobs like everyone else... just more of them. That also meant I was a little insecure about the rest of myself.

Unlike my friends Connie and Eve , I wasn't pretty and skinny, short or adorable looking. I was the ugly duckling of the group. But somehow I was talked into wearing a one piece by Eve. She was very persuasive ... I regret even listening to what she said.

It was a Friday so the day just seemed to drag on anyway. Not to mention I could see what Noodle and Amelia were doing from their spot on the grass.

She was sitting in his lap , holding his hands and in the smallest bikini I had seen in a while. It was a light blue , it stood out on her tanned skin. She did look quite nice... I mean for the enemy that is.

Noodle seemed to be glowing... his white skin and dark hair looked so soft and picture perfect. His skin gleamed with water droplets, he was sparkly.

I was sitting on a towel , Connie and Eve had gone to get changed in the humongous line to the bathroom. I might have been staring at them , or I could have been looking at the tree... hopefully they would think about the tree. They were laughing and leaning onto one another.

Then he stood up, and she took his hand and they came walking over.

Amelia looked like she could have killed me, she was latched onto his arm like a leech!
