I hurried through the blue opened door as the school bell rang repeatedly, finally school is over and all I could see through this pristine school and great silver gates are the holidays, then well, senior year starts I guess. I'm just looking forward to the sun, the beach, parties and of course hanging out with my best friend Clare. "Madison hold up!" I hear calling from behind, the deep husky voice that I could never not recognise, "Dylan hi, hey, I mean ah what's up?" I could feel my face flush and I already know my cheeks are cherry red, I hear his response lower than usual "I was just going to ask if you're coming to the party tonight" wait what? No, no no, I'm in need of Clair right now, Dylan interrupted my thoughts "so?" "Um yeah sure, I mean yeah maybe, I might pop by, I'm sleeping over Clair's tonight so it just depends if she wants to go too" I see Clair heading towards me, thank god, only she could save me here, not that I need to be saved it's just that I'm not quite the talker I guess especially with history. "What are you two chatting about" Clair says as she ties back her long dark brown hair, "the party tonight" Dylan says as he looks her up and down, " oh yeah the party, sorry mads and I won't be able to make it, so sorry maybe next time" she responds so quick, grabs my arm and begins to walk off, with out leaving time for a response, "Madison, you should still try come, or just maybe call me sometime!" I hear him call out as we walk to the car, I look back and just smile
"What was that?" Clair asks as she drives off, "what was what?" I responds with worried eyes, Clair looks at me with her big eyes as she opens her wide mouth "you know that Dylan thing?, the party? Why would you even want to go?" She allows her self to think for s few seconds before she continues speaking and slaps me in the face with the hard truth "ok listen, I am your best friend, and what makes you happy makes me happy, but Dylan, he's you're ex boyfriend, I know you and I know that you don't want to go down that road again, don't you remember the pain he put you through? I could never see you go through that again, and you just recently got over it and got back to the normal you" I let out a sigh as I begin to spill out my words "I guess you're right, but what else are we going to do tonight then", Clair doesn't respond and just sings along to the radio.
We arrive at Clair's great white mansion, I pull my bag out from her boot and carry it into her front door. "Mum! Mads and I are home from school" Clair calls but there was no response "she's probably still at work, let's go up to my room". Mrs Rose is a lawyer and her husband Ben is a doctor, he's Clair's step dad, we've been best friends since we were 4, With our families being close, Clair and I are closer than sisters, which I am glad. "What's the plan for tonight?" I ask again hoping for a response, "I'm not sure, how about we go for a swim and see what to do after that?" A swim would be a perfect start to summer so I agree and we both rush to change into our swimmers and allow ourselves to travel down through her elevator to the first level which is the indoor pool, gym, cinema room and allows access through stairs into the outdoor pool. The doors slide open, I could already smell the strong chlorine, we both step out and place our clothing and hair products into the change room and shower. We head back out to the pool as we both scream and jump into the water, i could feel my long hair floating around in the water as I floated my way back up, we both joked around, spoke and even had our own deep and meaningful conversation in the water until we heard echoing voices as the elevator doors open. "Sam you can't just have sex with her all the time with all feelings set aside, that shit never works" I hear as my head pops out of the water, I rub my eyes to see Clair's older brother and his friends who had just graduated. "Hey girls" Clair's brother Andrew says enthusiastically. "Andrew! You said you won't be home tonight, this was meant to be a girl time sleepover, you just ruined it" Clair snaps back at him, they always have their arguments but at the end of the day they both love each other, plus I don't really mind if his friends are here, they are so hot "sorry change of plans, it's a girl and boy time sleep over, mum called she won't be back tonight, she had a trial in court which is a couple of hours away, Ben is with her too, so the house is ours" Clair ignores him. The boys all decide to take of their tops, and jump into the pool and join us, I stare and lust over the topless hotties as they swim and through each other around.
