It was the beginning of my freshman year. New school, New friends, New everything. I had just moved to Virginia with my mom, my little brother and my German Shepard, Sutton.
We were getting everything out of the U-Haul and into the house. It was almost 90 degrees outside so by the time we were done unloading everything into the apartment complex I had a couple drops of sweat dripping down my face ruining my makeup that had taken me an hour to get perfect.
It was 12:30 in the afternoon and I pulled my thick light brown hair back into a messy ponytail. "Are we done for today Mum?" I asked hoping I could go out and swim in the pool enclosed by a metal fence out back.
"For now," My mother replied with a sigh at the end while she sat down into one of the camping chairs we had in the living room. My mother always had her hair up so it wasn't surprising when she pulled the hair tie out and put it back in this time a little higher so her hair wasn't on her neck. "I'm gonna go take a nap though, so you need to watch Dylan." she continued.
"Ugh!" I slouched back into my camping chair in the empty living room. "Can I bring him out to the pool? Or not?"
"If he has his swimmers on." My mother said with some doubt that I was even going to watch him. She was right I was gonna just have him go into the pool and check up on him every like 15 minutes to make sure he was ok.
With that I was getting my black bikini top on that has a bunch of golden gems on the rims of it, with the matching bottoms that tied on the sides. I pulled my hair down and brushed it into my side part after I took my makeup off.
By the time I was ready to go down Dylan already had his green and blue swimmers on and a towel around his neck. I grabbed a towel and iPod and we were out the door, we headed down the flight of stairs that lead to the back lobby which connected to the deck to the in-ground swimming pool.
The water shimmered where the scorching sun was hitting in. Dylan jumped right in while I laid my towel out on the deck so I could tan. As I went to lay down on my towel, belly up I turned my music on and put my headphones in.
About 15 minutes had passed and as I was turning onto my stomach so I could tan my back. I paused my music and I looked around for Dylan, he was still swimming in the pool, but he was playing with a couple of younger kids now. "Dylan! You better be playing nice!" I yelled loud enough for him to hear me and at around the same time I turned my head to the right and there he was...
