FROM 3RD POV.

RUNNING off the dock, Ivory plunged into the shallows of the black lake, squealing as soon as her feet were dunked into the bitter cold water.

Jack, who was swimming back to one of the docks had noticed Ivory. "What the hell are you doing here?" He questioned with a slight laugh.

"The real question is how the hell you're handling this damned cold water!" Ivory shuddered, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Alright, come on out, Pansy has towels for you guys!" Mattheo shouted, his hands on either side of his mouth as he spoke, palms facing outward.

"No way I'm getting out naked." Ivory commented, shaking her head in disapproval.

"Well, like hell I'm staying any longer in this water." Jack scoffed and hurriedly stepped out onto the dock, covering himself.

Ivory let out another shudder, her teeth chittering as the cold devoured her. As she dunked back underwater, she stayed under there for a moment, enjoying the silence.

But then the other night's events came back to her, and she panicked, swam back up to the surface. Gasping for air, she noticed Theo crouching over her on the dock, with a towel in hand.

Startled, Ivory gasped yet again. "You bloody asshole!" She exclaimed, Theo laughing in amusement and handing her the towel, which she took as made sure not to get it wet.

"Alright, now go on. I need to get out without being seen in such a vulnerable state. This is stupid." She grumbled.

"Yeah, right." Theo wiped the smile right off his face and stood up, turning to walk off.

Waiting for his hand to be turned to her, she rushed out to knee deep in the water and wrapped the towel around her, tying it to make sure it fall loose.

Then, she had an idea to mess with Theo. Pretending to be in pain, as if her foot was stuck on something under water, she called Theo back over.

Letting out an exasperated huff, Theo came walking back. "What is it?" He questioned.

"My foot's stuck on something. Can you see it from there?" Ivory asked in a convincingly painful tone.

Theo's brows furrowed as he tried to look. "Nothing other than your hideous foot. Need help getting out or something?" He scoffed and crossed his arms.

"Fuck you. And yes, I do." Ivory rolled her eyes, his insult only feeding the fire of the need to just push him in the water already.

Grabbing her hand firmly to help her out, Ivory took on a tight grip on his wrist and threw him behind her into the water, quickly running away onto the dock, laughing.

Theo was quick to get back out of that water, hair drenched and all. "Lockhart, you're truly going to be the death of me." He grumbled and stepped out of the water.
