We watched as Nicole 'gracefully' bellyflop into the clear blue water. We all laughed and clapped as Nicole hoisted herself out of the pool. Her stomach was bright red. She was laughing, but she held onto her stomach. After the rest of the game we all decided to finally go swimming. I put on my galaxy bikini (above). And went outside to join everyone.
The pool was lit by bright lights and the blue seemed transparent. I saw Laurance splashing Travis in the water and seemed to get lost in his eyes. I felt Dante put his hand on my shoulder. I glanced over at him and watched him take another swig of his beer. Surprisingly no one was drunk. YET. I looked towards the diving board and watched Katelyn do a cannon ball, splashing half the people in the pool. I walked towards the pool and dipped my feet into the pool.
I felt two hands push me forwards. Leaving me flying into the pool. I lifted my head above the water. I was laughing as I looked up to an amused Laurance. I saw Garroth peer over Laurance's shoulder and make a shushing motion with his index finger. I nodded and moved out of the way. Laurance wouldn't be laughing for long. Garroth rammed himself into Laurance and they both fell into the warm water. Everyone started joining in. Starting a whole game of who can stay out of the water longest. Surprisingly Donna won. We all decided to play sharks and minnows. Lucinda and I were chosen to be sharks. Dante's pool was HUGE, the size of a public pool. So it actually gonna be kind of hard to tag everyone.
By now it was 3:00 A.M. but no one was tired. "GOOOOO!!!" Lucinda yelled as everyone left the wall. I tagged Logan, and Lucinda tagged Kenmur and Emmalyn. Kenmur, Logan, and Emmalyn, sat on the side of the pool until we were done. Soon people start joining them until it's only Travis and Laurance left. "GO!" I yelled and they rushed of the wall. Well, apparently they made a plan with the people that were sitting out. Because all the girls pushed all the boys in the pool making so many bubbles underwater you wouldn't know who was who or what was what.
Laurance and Travis got out on the other end. Everyone else in the pool and on the sides were laughing their BUTTS OFF. They were high-fiving and me and Lucinda were looking around very confused. I felt someone muscular come up behind me and put their hands on my shoulders. "Oh, hey Aaron!" I said and turned around. "Hey." He said. Suddenly EVERYONE, not exaggerating, literally everyone was surrounding me and Aaron.
"What game next do you wanna play next, Aphmau." They were asking me like I was running this party. "Maybe ask Dante." I replied, I didn't want to seem rude but this wasn't my party.
Then.
The lights went out.
My eyes widened as somebody's lips brushed against mine making me as red as a tomato.
Everyone screamed and swam around in a panic. But I just sank slowly underwater. I don't know who kissed me, or why they made me feel so bubbly inside. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING. What if that was Laurance! Then I would know he and I would be soul mates.
But what if it wasn't Laurance..... I already have Dante and Laurance on my back. But I don't really mind Laurance. I don't need someone else to fall in love with. That'd be bad.
??? P.O.V.
Yes I did it! I finally kissed her! I thought it was gonna be hard because Aaron was next to her. First the texts, now this. This is going exactly as planned. I see Aphmau come up from underwater to take a breath. She's so beautiful. I can't wait to make her mine.
Wait.
Is that a bruise on her shoulder??
It's small but significant. Maybe she just fell while playing outside. No sane person would ever hit such a pretty human being.
Aphmau's P.O.V.
I felt someone watching me and I looked around to see everyone's heads turned away from me. I looked at Aaron but he was off flexing his muscles with some other girl. I sighed, why isn't my life just NORMALLLLL.
I got up out of the pool and went to go talk to Katelyn. "Hi!" I greeted her. "Whatever Aph, maybe you should stop talking to commoners like me and go back to being the princess of love." She hiccuped while she talked, I could tell she was drunk. "Katelyn?" I looked at her confused. I know the real Katelyn wouldn't say that, but I feel like this is how the real Katelyn could feel. "What do you mean?" I asked her. "You wouldn't care anyways, you have a million people just begging to even think about you. Can't you see that you steal everyone's thunder! It's always 'Aphmau this' and 'Aphmau that'! And I'm sick of it!" She gritted her teeth and I could tell she wasn't messing around. I started to back away slowly. She walked towards me. I backed up again. She moved her arm forward and shoved me back, making me fall on the concrete, my elbow started to bleed. By now everyone was watching the fight that was about to go down, between a sober person and a drunk. Everyone knew who was gonna win, the drunk. They would do anything to win. Katelyn took a swing at me and I put my arm in defense. Her arm hit mine and you could hear bones pop. She cried out in pain, and I held my tears and kept going. "Why are you doing this!??" I went over to her and helped her up. "Because it's not fair!" She got up and kneed me in the stomach. I held my stomach and fell onto the concrete. Last thing I remember, before getting knocked out. Was Katelyn picking up a vase.
