Shattered Fragments

Chapter 5

I plunged head first into the icy water and swam through the depths of the pool. I dove deeper and deeper into the crystal water. Running out of oxygen, I pushed up to the surface. I got out and walked back round to the diving board. Closing my eyes, I jumped straight in, my nerves tingling from the sudden shock. Gentle hands grabbed me, and spun me round. Mark -again. I swam away but he was a much better swimmer than me, "What do you want?" I asked, coming to the surface. I didn't know why I was so mad; I'd liked him -so why was I being so mean?
"To apologize. I'm really sorry about Daniel. He's so mean sometimes. I don't think you're crazy."
"Then you think wrong because I'm crazier than my grandma and she eats chalk and cheese in sandwiches!"
He laughed, "Okay, but crazy isn't a bad thing."
"It is in my family," I heard someone calling his name, "You better go, see you around," I swam off, turning back to see his disappointed face.

Back at our sun beds, I saw the worst thing in the history of crazy people : Gabriella and Daniel Smith kissing. She was giggling and running her hand through his hair. Quinn was gagging nearby and the boys had shielded each other's eyes. The adults we're nowhere to be seen. Kaleb, weirdly, ran over and hugged me, "Make them stop, Willow! Make them stop!"
"How the hell am I supposed to make them stop?!"
"Slap 'em!" advised Sass.
"Push them in the pool!" added Mel, who had been there all day. Carefully, I sneaked up behind the sun bed, and with the help of Quinn we pushed them into the water. They both screamed and shrieked curse words even I didn't know, "YOU ARE SO F****** DEAD, YOU FREAKS! YOUR GONNA WISH YOU STAYED IN PRISON!"
"I'M GONNA MAKE YOUR LIKE HELL , YOU ASSHOLES! YOU GONNA REGRET EVEN BEING BORN!" I lunged forward and slapped them both so hard the were temporarily submerged underwater. The noise echoed across the the water.
"Prison was better than living with you, b****!" shouted Quinn.

They clambered out of the pool and started chasing us. Quinn and I ran to the changing room, got dressed faster than the speed of light and ran for it. We didn't stop, mainly because they were on bikes now and were gonna catch up any minute. We just had to get back to the cabin, to the parents, to safety. Doing it gave me such a rush, but now I was going to die. No way we're these guys going to let me get away with this. And to make things worse we were lost. I found a bike rack and we managed to 'borrow' two bikes thanks to Quinn's amazing lock picking skills.

The sun was hidden by the tall pine trees, casting a foreboding darkness over us. The track was scarce of life and not even the leaves moved. The only birds were crows that cawed in warning. But then, Daniel was in front of us, completely cutting us off. I tried to go the other way but Gabriella was there, her expression making her look like the crazy one.

I had a feeling that this was payback time.
