Our Souls Will Be Stronger Than Stone (SIUA BOOK 2)

Chapter 11. The pooooooooool

Peeking over the edge of the balcony, Shelby, Cory, and Adam found a black-haired boy beating up a younger girl, a elementary school person, from what Shelby could guess. The girl had light blue hair, and was wearing mostly guy clothing. Jess clenched her fists, ran back, and grabbed a bucket of water from the bathroom. Cory then took the bucket, and sprayed it all over the black-haired guy. The girl took an opportunity, and punched him in the manly spot, forcing him to fall to the ground while the girl got away. Closing the balcony door, Jess laughed.

"Serves Jin right! He deserved that."

Jess said. Adam frowned, as he and Jin went to the same school, however Barney wrapped his arm around Adam, and the two hugged it out. A knocking could be heard on the door of the room, so Shelby got up, and answered it.

"Excuse me, but I'd like to come in and see all of you."

The woman at the door said. She was a hotel worker, so Shelby beckoned her to come inside.

"Excuse me for intruding, but your principal ask I give you all this. Also please note you are aloud to walk around the hotel at your leisure now. Enjoy your trip!"

The woman said happily, giving Shelby a small pamphlet while she left the room. Shelby peeked inside.

"Just a bunch of ads. Nothing much."

Shelby said. Adam took the pamphlet.

"It just says some nearby places and stuff. Don't worry. Besides! We can go swimming now!"

Adam said, pulling his swimsuit out of his suitcase. Cory laughed.

"I'll pass. But you all can go. I'd personally like to visit the weight room..."

Cory said. Red laughed.

"Oh that's just cause you don't wanna take your mask off! Come here!"

Red said, chasing Cory around the room in a panicked frenzy, making everyone laugh. Jess grabbed her suit.

"I'll go swimming, however it's still pretty early, and the pools probably really cold... Anyone down for the arcade?"

She asked. Shelby nodded.

"Sounds fun!"

She said, happily.

Tem skip to 5:00 PM

"POOL TIME!"

Jess shouted, jumping in the pool happily, Adam right behind her. Shelby entered using the stairs, while everyone else, besides Cory, jumped right in. Cory was acting as a chaperone to the immature high-schoolers, while sitting in a beach chair reading a book.

"Whatcha reading Cory?"

Shelby asked, not exactly fully in the pool yet. Cory looked up.

"Just a weird book I got at the same time as the journal. It's called The Secretive."

Cory said. Shelby frowned. Ross got a weird book too, however, she didn't waste time on it.

"Hey Cory! Catch the water!"

Shelby said, cheerfully. Cory put the book down as he was then splashed with water.

"Stop it! Stop please!"

Cory pleaded. Shelby stopped.

"Aww..."

Shelby said, swimming into the pool, and jumping on top of Jess.

"Oh no! It's a Shelby!"

Jess mockingly said, as she threw Shelby into the pool by leaning backwards. Shelby laughed.

"Aww... No fair!"

Shelby said, splashing Jess. Adam grinned, and splashed Barney, who grunted, and splashed Red. The circle went around until everyone was splashed with a bucket Cory filled up. Cory then booked it as everyone was chasing after him with a squirt gun.

Another Tem skip, brought to you by tem. It is now 9 PM.

Shelby was looking outside on the balcony, her hair not yet dry.  Everyone was asleep but her. She couldn't fall asleep. In the distance, Mt. Ebbot loomed, and Shelby had started to enjoy looking at it. She sat down on one of the chairs provided, and read the next section in the journal.

4/28

Cory wanted to show me a great view from the top of Mt. Ebbot. He was right, it was beautiful! However, Jin followed us, and shoved me into the hole. Cory tried to help me... but he was shoved in too. During the fall, I blacked out.
