Babe.

28.

Blanca. 

Tennis had to be moved to three because I had contracted one of the worst hangovers of my life, Ty had woken up at one so I could get ready to play tennis but instead I ended up vomiting my guts up in the pool house toilet. "What the hell did you have to drink last night?" Ty asked snickering as he stood behind me holding my hair back. 

"What didn't I have?" I groaned resting my forehead on the toilet bowl, "I'm never playing Bingo Shots ever again when you brother is around. I am going to wring Benny's neck out."  

My sentence was cut off as I threw up again, what a lovely start to the day, I frowned when I felt Ty pat me on the head. "What are you doing?" I asked turning to look at him. 

"I'm comforting you." He told me as if it were obvious.

"Oh." I muttered amused, he had an interesting idea of comforting but I would take it as a win. 

"The words your looking for are thank you Ty you absolute angel for being the best friend in the world." He teased me. "Do you want some more water?" 

I nodded, "yeah but we can do that in the kitchen, I'm done vomiting now." 

"Thank god." He grabbed the airfreshener off the sink and flipped the lid off before spraying it around the whole room. 

Coughing violently I ducked past him and into the fresh air, "go easy with that buddy," I told him tiredly, "those fumes are poison, and flammable and we both know how you are with fire." 

He nodded capping the bottle, "fair point." Ty pulled a packet of gum out of his pocket, "have some, in fact have all of it your breath smells disgusting." 

I couldn't argue with that, "thanks." I sniffed my pyjama T-shirt wrinkling my nose, "eugh I smell like a brewery. I really need to take a shower." 

Luckily for them Kya, Emmanuel and Benny didn't have tennis which meant they could sleep, I grabbed a pair of sunglasses and a cap off the counter before following him out of the poolhouse and through the garden back to the house. 

"Morning sleeping beauty." Tilly called amused as I walked into the kitchen. 

"Uhuh." I replied rubbing my fingers against my temple, I felt like death. I had to pull myself together before my parents saw me, deciding against breakfast for fear of throwing it all up I went upstairs, brushed my teeth, showered and then got dressed in my tennis clothes before going downstairs and taking a seat next to my friends. Thankfully Nika was also nursing a killer hangover so I wasn't all alone in my suffering. 

"Scale of one to I'm never drinking again how bad is it?" My friend murmmured from where she was sleeping on the breakfast table. 

"It's past that Nik, I'm never even looking at another bottle of alcohol." I told her knowing full well it was a blatent lie and that we'd probably be going out again in the next couple days. 

"Jesus, I'm glad I left when I did." She told me, "what about the other three of you?" 

"The lucky rats are still sleeping, I'm only up because of tennis." I explained as Ty brought me my glass of water. "Gracias." 

"De nada." He said slumping down in the chair next to me. "You do know that tennis is going to be a completel shit show?" 

I nodded, "yep, well aware." 

By the time I had to be on the court I was feeling a hit better but not much, and when my coach brought out that ball firing machine I knew I was done for because there was just no way. I managed to hit enough for him not to yell at me but we both knew I wasn't playing at my best level right now. 

Thankfully after that I didn't have to do shit so once I was finished dying all over the court I changed into my red and white striped bikini and went to go find my friends who were lounging by the pool. Kya surprisingly had crawled out of bed and was lying next to them and Benny and Emmanuel were walking towards me evidently having just woken up, they were talking quietly to each other but I wasn't sure if that we because they lost their voices or because they didn't want us to here. 

As Benny passed me he flashed me a grin as he teased me, "oh save me Benny, ave me from the lake sharks. I'm too young to die." 

I mocked his expression, "oh ha ha, very funny. We could have died." 

"Sure." Emmanuel snorted shaking his head. 

"May I remind you that you were screaming right along with me, it touched me it touched me!" I snapped evil eyeing him, what a little traitor.

"Whatever." Emmanuel muttered rolling his eyes as he grabbed Benny and dragged him towards the kitchen before we could argue anymore. 

"What was that about?" Tilly asked her eyes sparkling as I flopped down in the sun chair next to her. 

"Blanca put the moves on Benny last night." Kya told them snickering. 

"What?" Tilly and Nika asked sitting up in their seats. 

"I did not put the moves on Benny." I told them, "that is a lie." 

"Nuhuh, you so did." Kya continued gleefully, "maybe not with that last screaming bit, before you so were, I saw you. Other than Emannuel I have never seen a boy get undressed that fast."

"Undressed?" Tilly squeaked shocked. 

I rolled my eyes, "we went swimming which Kya convieniently left out, and it wasn't fully undressed either just into under stuff. And let's not pretend that you didn't put the moves all over Emmanuel too, Kya offered to flash him if they won chicken." 

"Traitor!" she gasped poking her finger in the air towards me. 

"Says you! Let's not forget that you gave himself the smile when he said he wouldn't go swimming. You weren't wrong when you said Emmanuel undressed faster than Benny, I mean he almost fell over because he was trying to take them off so quickly." I shot back. 

"What's the smile?" Tilly asked curiously. 

"A figment of Blanca's imagination." Kya grumbled. 

"Oh it's real." I countered, "everytime Emmanuel says no to Kya all she has to do is flash shoot him her butter wouldn't melt smile and he cracks. It works every single time." 

"You two are evil." Tilly laughed to herself, "toying with those boys like that." 

"It's too fun not to." Kya answered shrugging as we all lie down to face the sun so we could tan better. 

She wasn't wrong there, as embarassing as the last quarter of the evenig was I had had loads of fun making Benny run around yesterday. Especially since I'd wasn't used to having what I said affect him and not just the other way around, how boring would I be if I didn't return the favour a little bit?
