Life of a high school girl

The trip 6

"People.....come fast," Drake yelled at us. We had finished playing in the playground like kids and we were all covered in sand. The playing had ended with Alex detroying the sand castle Drake and Dylan had made and then Alex running for his life.

That git.

Since we were all extremely dirty, we decided to take a dip in the shores. Our classmates had already jumped into the water and the guys were already in their shorts waiting for us. Only problem was that we girls were not ready.

"Fast.." i said as I looked up from my mobile. I was wearing a black one piece which had a net. Taylor was wearing a light blue swimsuit and Violet was in a violet swimsuit. Emma was wearing red. We were taking time as she was sorting out her hair.

"Ready," Emma said as she applied lip gloss and stepped out. I followed her and saw Emma go to Luke who was smirking at her. He bent and their lips met.

I saw Drake stiffen and Dylan look scared between me and Alex. Taylor was also shocked and I knew it was not planned. And it was not good.

Luke wrapped his arms around her and deepened the kiss. They then broke apart, grinned at each other then went and sat down together. I had no idea what was happening there.

Alex wrapped his arms around me and Taylor and even he looked surprised. He whispered to both of us, "I don't know what just happened but Drake doesn't look too good."

Dylan was holding Drake tightly and Dan was whispering to him. Christina was with Liam and Violet. Drake pushed Dan and Dylan away and walked int he opposite direction.

I felt very guilty. What was Emma playing at? I removed Alex's arm and said to them, "I'll go after him."

They nodded and I ran behind him. He was sitting on a bench with a tree shading him. He looked broken and for the first time, I saw that he was devastated. What we had done had hit him straight where it hurt. I sat next to him and he glared at me. I could see the tears in his eyes.

He turned away and I put my arm around his shoulder. I felt him stiffen and he pushed my arm away roughly. I knew that if Dylan wouldn't kill Drake if he hurt me, Drake owuld have screamed at me already.

"I don't know why she did it. She loves you only Drake. I promise," I whispered.

"Then what happened there? Are yoy telling that I am blind?" Drake shouted.

"Shut the hell up. You have no right to get angry," I bellowed, as I said my temper was not very good.

"No right.....NO RIGHT? I love her," he screamed.

"Then prove it to her instead of acting like a baby," I said.

"You don't get how hurt I am," he said. I snorted and said, "At least now you get what we felt when you and Dylan rejected us. How she felt when you mocked her that day."

He was silent and I knew he was ashamed. Our goal was accomplished, he was guilty and he liked her. I continued, "Drake.....Alex and Luke, we don't  like them that way. It was to make you and Dylan jealous....even 15 minutes before I was hearing Emma describe how cute you are. I know she likes you, love."

He looked vulnerable and he said, "Are you sure?"

I rolled my eyes and said, "I know her like the back of my hand. She was just making you jealous and you fell for her trap. I know her feelings well because I am the one who she tells everything to."

He searched my eyes but whatever he found there made him relaxed. He dragged his hand through his hair and said, "You realized we both are in swimsuits and we ran till here?"

I shrugged and said, "So what? You are my bro, it is my job to comfort you when you are hurt."

He smiled brightly and said, "I am sorry for what happened that day in the library. I was a big bastard and Dylan didn't want to go against me, that is all. I know he loves you."

I smiled and said, "I know that too."

"Then why are you...." he asked confused. I shrugged and said, "He should learn to stand up for me.....I am not going to do anything bad with Alex anyway."

Drake nodded and said, "We need to go back."

I said, "Yeah."

We got up and we both knew this was the first time we had acted civil to each other. Though we were both the most alike in our group, it was a known fact that we fought with each other. I smiled and hugged him tightly and he hugged me back. He whispered in my ears, "Now tell me how to win her back."
