Infinity

Chapter 3

I looked at Alex's body. He didn't have his shirt on and the water made his skin almost sparkle. He really does have a nice six pack and biceps. I looked away and Val replied for me, or us.

"No, we can't we have to go. Plus, we didn't bring our swimming suits." she said smoothly.

By now, his friends had stopped horseing around in the pool and had joined Alex's side. They were looking at us with a tint of excitment in their eyes. Val looked at them and gave them a smile. All the boys smiled back and one of them winked at her. I walked around the group and over to my mom. I shoke her lightly and she woke up.

"Carra? What's going on?" she wondered.

"Nothing, you just fell asleep that's all." I said as I sat next to her. 

"Oh, well, I'm going up to my room to lay down for a bit. Don't stay out to late." she said as she gathered her stuff up. She stood up and left the pool area and Val gave me a weary look. She excused herself from the boys and came over to me.

"We should go. I don't think it would be a good idea to hang out with these guys." I whispered to her as she sat on the lounge chair next to me. 

"I think we should at least so what they are like before judging them. Just an hour or two, please Carra?" she begged me with puppy dog eyes. I can't resist those eyes.

"Ug, fine, but what so we swim in? We didn't bring our suits." I said. She smiled at me before standing up. She grabbed my hand and we walked back over to the boys who had sat on the edge of the pool.

"We're in." she said. The boys cheered and jumped in. Water splashed out and got both of us wet. Val looked at me before proceeding to strip off her shirt. She took off her shorts and jumped in. Her black undergarments looked like a swimming suit when they got wet but I don't know how she could just strip with boys in front of her.

"Come on Carra. Don't be a chicken." she said, standing by the edge. All the boys except Ales, who was staring at me, were staring at Val but when she said that, they looked up at me. I groaned and pulled my shirt off to reveal my plane pink bra underneath. Some of the boys whistled while I took off my pants to show my matching underwear and jumped in. The water felt nice against my skin.

When I came up from under water, everyone was looking at me. 

"What?" I asked. The boy looked away and went back to splashing around but Alex kept looking at me. "Seriously, what?" I asked. I wanted to jump out of the pool and put my clothes back on because I felt like all Alex wanted to do was finish stripping me. 

"Nothing, it's just that..." he started before trailing off.

" 'It's just that...' what?" I wondered.

"You could've picked a different color to wear. Pink is so girly." he said before turning and joining his friends. I wadded over to them and Val splashed me. I splashed back and soon, there was a full on splash war going on.

"Carrassa Johnson!" I heard from the doorway. I froze where I was, not wanting to turn around and face distaster. "What are you doing?" 

I slowly turned around and saw that my mom was standing in the doorway, face red and mad.

"Swimming?" I suggested.

"Get out of that pool and put some clothes on right now young lady." she commanded. I did as told, not wanting to get into deeper trouble. Val tried to shrink behind the curly haired guy who we found out was named Jack. "Don't think you are getting out of this either missy, you too, get out and get your clothes on."
