While Kris changed in the bathroom, I took a sandwich bag and a rubber band. That was how I was gonna win the bet. Put the sandwich bag over my hand and place the rubber band over it. I wore my swimming suit under my clothes.

"You ready?"
"Huh, yeah."
"So hurry up," Kris said gesturing me to the door.
"I'm coming!"

I closed the door and started to walk. Kris stopped and waited for me, when I was near Kris, he put his arm around my shoulder.

"Get your hand off me!"
"Why?"
"Just get your hand off me."
"No."

I stopped walking and gave Kris a death stare. He quickly took his arm off me.

"You know I would be doing that when I win the bet."
"Well you're not going to win!"
"What makes you so sure?"

I smiled and started running down the stairs. Kris sighed and ran after me. When we were near the door, Kris caught me.

"Caught you," he said holding me tighter.
"Kris this feels uncomfortable, especially how your carrying me!"
"Oh sorry," Kris said as he let go of his grip.
"Whoa, Kassie?!" Monica said as she entered the door to the stairs.
"Shit, Monica!" I said worried. "What do you want?"
"I'm gonna go first," Kris said.
"Are you and Kris goin-"
"Hell no!"
"Yeah sure Kassie," Monica said with a smirk on her face.
"I'm not going out with him!"
"Not yet at least," Monica said softly.
"Shut up Monica!" I said giving Monica a light push on the shoulder.
"Did you kiss him? Did you guys hug? What did he do to you? Did he ask you out? Did you say yes? Are you going to marry him? Do you like hi-"
"MONICA, SHUT UP!"
"You like him that's the only reason why you would say shut up at the question, do you like him."
"Are you gonna swim Monica?"
"Yep you like him, you changed the subject."
"That doesn't mean anything."
"You're swimming, he's swimming. That means you would see him shirtless."
"Don't you have Kai?"
"I already saw him shirtless."
"Wait what?"
"He's already at the pool."
"Okay, good cause I thought you had s-"
"Kassie, what the hell?"
"Anyways, can we just go to the pool now? Please."
"Who are you? Kassie never says please. You're changing cause of this guy, right?"
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not."
"Kassie!"
"I want to swim already, is that okay with you?"
"You just want to swim cause Kris is shirtless."
"Monica stop, please."
"Fine, hey whats this." Monica said as she pulled the sandwich bag from me.
"That's what is gonna help me win the bet."
"What bet?"
"Walk first."
"Okay."
"So Kris said I couldn't get my hand wet, and I told him I can swim without getting my hand wet. He said if I got my hand wet, I would go on a date with him. If I win, I get carried everywhere for a day."
"I'm on his side, you guys are perfect for each other."
"Can I have the bag back?"
"Here."

We reached the pool, Monica sat me at the seat next to Kris. I took off my shirt and placed it in my towel. Before I could put the bag on, Kris carried me and threw me into the pool.

"I win," Kris said with a smile.
"No fair."
"I won, the date starts now," Kris said as he jumped in the pool.
"Isn't it weird to have a date in the pool?"
"No."
"How long is this date?"
"Well till midnight, or the date can start tomorrow and last the whole day."
"What about tomorrow cause today is almost over, and technically it won't be a date. More like spending time with you the whole day tomorrow."
"Okay tomorrow it is."
"You didn't pay attention to me after I said the first tomorrow, right?"
"What psh, I did listen to you. Okay I didn't."
"Wow."

Kris started to splash some water at me. I put my hand up to block the water and tried splashing him back. When I stopped splashing Kris was gone. I looked around to see where he was. At the same time I felt someone grab my leg.

"Boo," Kris said as he surfaced.
"I'm not scared."
"That wasn't suppose to scare you."
"I know."
"Wanna race?"
"Sure."
"Here to Monica."
I looked to see where Monica was, she was across the pool.
"Sure."
"Ready, set, go!"

We both started to swim. Kris was ahead of me and he kicked me once or twice. He was near Monica, so I pulled his leg. It slowed him down but not much. I swam a bit faster and it was a tie.

"Race you back?"
"No thanks."
"You afraid you're going to lose."
"No! I don't want to race."
"Good job, Kassie but I won."
"You didn't win it was a tie!"
"I won!"
"It was a tie!"
"Can you two just shut up!" Monica screamed.
"Sorry, Mom."
"Hey, who are you calling mom?"
"Who else would I call mom?"
"I want to kill you so bad."
"Why, it's just one word? Would you rather be called mom or Taeyeon?"
"I would rather be called Monica."
"Fine."
"You don't even like your Korean name so don't say mine, Si-"
"Don't you dare say it!"
"Siyeon."
"I hate you."
"I love you too!"
"Kassie, why do you hate your Korean name?" Kris asked.
"I don't know, but I get annoyed by that name."
"Why? Siyeon is a cute name."
"Well I don't think it's cute."
"I do."

I blushed and turned away from Monica. I knew she was going to make fun of me for blushing.

"Kassie do you want to play a game?" Monica asked.
"What game are you thinking about?"
"Chicken fight."
"No!"
"You and Kris vs me and Kai."
"Thanks but no thanks."
"Come on Kassie, let's play," Kris said.
"I don't want to play!"
"Kassie, please?"
"Fine."
"Yes, get on."

I hopped on his shoulders and Monica went on Kai's.

"Guys be careful okay," Kris said.
"No promises."
"Ready?" Kai said.
"Just hurry up," Monica and I said together.

Kris started to walk and I started splashing Monica. I didn't really splash Monica, I splashed Kai so he couldn't see. Monica did the same. I held on to Monica's arm and pulled her. Kris knew what to do then he walked away from them. I pulled Monica's arm and she fell off of Kai.

"Good game guys," Monica said.
"Do you wanna play again?"
Everyone said yes but me.
I saw Tamia behind a tree. She gave me a smile and walked back to her room.
"Kassie!" Kris, Monica and Kai said.
"Huh, what?"
"Do you want to play again?" Kris asked.
"No I think I'll pass."
"Okay. So what do you guys want to do now?"
"I want to get out of the water," I said.
"Why Kassie?" Monica said.
I looked down at my hand it started to hurt.
"Oh yeah Kassie isn't suppose to get her hand wet," Kris said.

I went out of the pool and dried myself with my towel. I put on my shirt, sat on the chair, and covered myself with my towel. Kris came out of the water and dried himself. He put his towel around me.

"Aren't you cold?" I asked.
"No."
"How?"
"I guess I'm use to the weather."

There was silence between us for a while. I saw Jenny sit next to Baekhyun. I couldn't hear much.

"Are you thirsty Si- Kassie," Kris said.
"A little," I said giving Kris a small glare.
"I'll go get water for you." He said giving me a soft kiss on the cheek.

As Kris went to go get water. I laid down on the chair staring into the sky.
"Did he just kiss me?"
"Kassie!" Monica said.
"What?"
"Did he just kiss you?"
"Yes," I said quietly and smiled. " I'm starting to l-

"INCOMING!!" Someone yelled as a bright orange water balloon dropped from the fifth floor of the hotel. The water balloon hit the ground a few feet away from Baekhyun and Jenny making Baekhyun squeal like a little girl and cling onto Jenny.

"SORRY BAEK!" Jonghyun waved, holding up a bucket of water balloons. He dumped the whole bucket.

Water, water, water.

"YAH, SUHO! HELP!" Chanyeol screeched. Suho glanced at Chanyeol boredly before flicking the drops of water in Xiumin's direction who turned them into ice crystals that shattered on the ground.

I was confused. What the hell just happened?

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you this before," Minho said softly before showing Jenny an ice crystal which melted into water and froze again. He stood up, walking away.

Onew showed Jenny a flame which flickered in his hands. It slowly turned into a burning feather.

Key lifted up a beach table and put it down as if it weighed nothing. Electricity ran up his arms.

Jonghyun teleported around the pool.

I didn't want to know what else would happen.

Jenny turned to Taemin.

"What about you?" She asked coldly. Baekhyun shivered at the harshness in her voice.

Taemin sighed, but created a small tornado with his pointer finger. He pointed at the clock near the door and it stopped. With a snap of his fingers, it was back to normal. He looked at Jenny but his gaze slowly dropped to the floor. He fled from the room.

I sat down numbly, my knees near my chest and my head in my hands. Kris walked towards me and sat beside me giving me comforting words.
"Monica was right," I said with tears running down my face.
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone can change in under less than 24 hours."
"And I was starting to like you too."

Monica stepped away from Kai.

"You... You lied. You're such a liar. You- You jerk! You're not human! You lied." Monica cried, her voice breaking into a whisper.

"Poor Monica, she was starting to really like this guy."

There was silence.

I took my key and ran into the hotel, trying to hide my tears. I went into the kitchen and took the bowl of fried rice I left there earlier. I walked up the stairs to the hotel roof. It was a bit windy. I stood there watching the sun and the ocean. I finished eating and placed the bowl near the trash can on the roof, and went back to watching the ocean.

"There you are." I heard a voice behind me.
I turned around.
"Hey Tamia."
"I've been looking for you."
"Why we are suppose to meet each other at 7?"
"That's why I was looking for you."
"Huh, what do you mean?" I asked.
"It's 7:43."
"It is?"
"Yes. Have you been up here the whole time?"
"Since 5 or 6, I think?"
"You okay?"
"I think so."
"Kassie what happened?"
"You're the same old Tamia."
"Yes I am. So what happened?"
"Nothing."
"Well then why are you up here, isn't your crush here?"
"Who told you my crush was here?"
"No one I was trying to get your attention. I also know that your crush is someone here."
"Wow."
"So who is it?"
"You're just like Monica, you know that."
"Yeah so tell me who you like!"
"It's Kris, you better not tell anyone especially Monica and Kris."
"Don't you share a room with him?"
"Wait how do you know that?"
"I didn't, but I do now."
"Stop doing that!"
"Fine."
"So why are you up here?"
"I wanted to be alone."
"Haven't you been alone for a while now?"
"Yeah."
"I'll see you on the ship tomorrow."
"You're going too?"
"Yeah."
"Okay see you tomorrow."
"Oh and um Kassie, I think you should go back to your room now. Bye."
"Bye."

I waited a while before going back down.
282, 284, 286. I put my key in the door and unlocked it. Kris wasn't in the room but I saw a note on my bed.

Hey Kassie, sorry I didn't tell you about the power thing. I was gonna tell you during our date, but you probably don't want to go on this date with me any more. I understand if you don't want to see me. Anyways if you do want to see me I'm in room 290. Oh and Kassie I'm not a monster. - Kris

I put the note back on the bed and went to room 290. I was about to knock when I heard Tamia's voice. The door wasn't closed all the way so I walked into the room.

"Kassie!" Kris said.
"Oh hey Kassie," Tamia said.
"Hi. Kris can I talk to you?"
"Sure."
"Kassie, get so-
"Shut up!"
"Why don't we talk in our room?" Kris said.
"Yeah."
We walked to our room.
"I see you're not mad at me." Kris said.
"I am a little."
"What did you want to tell me?"
"If the date can still happen."
"Yeah." Kris said pulling me into a hug.

The hug didn't last very long. There was a knock on the door. Kris opened the door. Monica walk past Kris and and sat on the bed.

"I'm gonna let you guys talk," Kris said.

He left the room and closed the door. Monica lifted her head with a smile on her face.

"What?" I said looking around.
"Did you and Kris kiss?"
"We are seriously doing this again, and no we didn't kiss. He hugged me," I said blushing.
"Aww cute. When's the wedding?"
"There is no wedding!"
"Yet."
"Oh my god, I am going to kill myself."
"Hey what's this?" Monica said picking up the note.
"That's nothing!" Taking the note away from Monica.
"If it's nothing let me read it."
"Nah I'm good."
"It's something, if you don't want me to read it."
"Cause I don't want you to read it."
"Is it from Kris?"
"Ummm no."
"Really so if I read it, it won't be signed by his name."
"Fine it's from Kris!"
"Can I read it?"
"No!"
"Did he ask you out in that note?"
"No."
"He wants to know who you like?
"No."
"Who do you like anyways?"
"I'm not telling you. You always get into my love life."
"That's not true."
"Okay let's see seventh grade, Cameron."
"That was hard work to get you with him."
"See."
"That's only one guy."
"Ninth grade, Josh."
"He liked you so I decided to make you guys go out."
"Tenth grade I-
"Okay okay I get it. I've been in your love life."
"For once can you just stop, please."
"Okay, fine. But not now."
"Thank you. Wait what!"
"It's just that when we were little you would always tell me who you liked, and you don't anymore."
"It's probably cause you never told me who you liked."
"I told yo- oh wait that wasn't you. Well sorry."
"You wanna tell me who you like in the past then?"
"There wasn't a lot."
"That's okay I wouldn't care."
"Do you remember Keith?"
"Keith? I don't know anyone named Keith. Tell me someone you liked I actually know."
"Kai."
"Kai is the only person I know out of how many?"
"Three."
"Including Kai is three."
"Yeah."
"Okay."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We never actually liked any of these guys. They were made up. Well besides one.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What do you want to talk about now?" I asked.
"Anything."
"Yeah that doesn't help cause I don't have any clue what to talk about."
"Sorry."

There was a knock on the door.
"Not it," Monica said.
"Dammit."

I opened the door to see Jenny.
"Hi Jenny!"
"Hey."
"Whats wrong?"
"Nothing."

We walked to the balcony and sat on the chairs outside.

"You ok, Jen?" Monica asked.
"Yeah."
"Or at least, you act like you are," I added quietly. Jenny glanced over at me and sighed, dropping her gaze to the floor.
"At least I act like I am," She said softly.
"You're not ok," Monica said, putting a hand on Jenny's shoulder.
"Of course not, I've never been ok."
"How do you feel now?" Monica asked.
"I'm so confused right now. I don't know what I want, I don't know the things I like, I don't know my purpose or why I'm here, I don't know who my friends and enemies are anymore, (we're your friends. I said to myself) I don't know what makes me happy or mad or sad anymore, I don't know WHY I feel like this, or WHY this is happening. I just don't know, and it's turning me into a wreck. I just feel like sleeping and never waking up, and I DON'T KNOW WHY," Jenny answered.
"I don't want to feel like this. It's not a problem to you guys, but that's because you haven't known them for over half of your life. You didn't grow up with them. I don't even know why I care so much,Why does it hurt?" She asked.
"It only hurts because it matters," I said.
"It only hurts because it matters," Jenny repeated.

We all sat there for awhile and quietly.
"I'm gonna go to sleep guys. Night," Jenny said.
"I'm gonna go to my room. You better text me back when I text you," Monica said.
"Bye."

My room was quiet. I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. There was another note.

Hello Kassie, brush well. :D-Kris

"Such a stalker."
I finished brushing. When the door opened.

"Is this a good time," Kris asked.
"Yeah. I'll be on my bed if you need me."
"Okay."

My phone starting vibrating. A text message from Monica.

"Hi Kassie."
"Hello."
"Who do you like?!"
"Again! I thought you weren't going to be in my love life."
"Just tell me, I won't bother you again."
"I like Kris. Now goodnight!"

I went outside. Monica texted me back but I didn't know she texted. Kris heard my phone go off. He looked over and saw "YOU LIKE KRIS!"
Kris smiles, puts the phone down and walks out to the balcony.
"Hello," He said as he hugged me from behind.
"Hi."
"Where do you want to go tomorrow for our date?"
"Aren't you suppose to plan this out?"
"We can plan it out as we go."
"Okay," I said.
"We will go to the bea-"
"I don't want to know. Let it be a surprise."
"Why?"
"Cause Monica always wants to know."
"It would seem like Monica would want to spy on us."
"That's why you shouldn't tell me!"
"Fine."

I turned around and gave Kris a proper hug.

"Are you tired?" Kris said.
"A little."
"Well I think you should go to sleep."
"Why?"
"I want to start the date early, so no one would be able to follow us."
"What time are we waking up?"
"Around 5."
"So early!"
"Yes but that's how we get Monica to not spy on us."
"Fine."
"Are you going to sleep?"
"Yeah."
"Good night!"
"Night."

I turned off the lights, leaving one on so Kris can see. I picked up my phone and read the message Monica sent.

"YOU LIKE KRIS!" I read.
"Yes."
A few minutes later she replied.
"I was right!"
"Yeah and good night."
"Good night! Wait so where is the date gonna be? How long is it going to last?"
"I don't know! Don't text me back I'm trying to sleep!"
"Fine. Night!"

I put my phone down and stared up on the ceiling. Eventually I fell asleep.
