"McKenzie! Come on!" I cheer out in pure joy as we head for the public swimming pool. I had on a super cute pink swimsuit and a bright pink cover up, Mckenzie on the other hand wore all red, bathing suit and all. We kindly ask for two tickets in. As soon as we walk through the doors we smell the chlorine. "Ooh! Smells like summer!" I say smiling. I was definitely the shorter one out of the two. "Because it is," She smirks. "Whatever." I shoot back with a playful glare. "Ashton is that you?" A males voice is heard from behind. To my surprise I see my cousin Blake, and of all people Trenton, the boy I like. Blake was a little taller then me, with his wavy brown hair topping his head. He too wore wide frame glasses like me. Trenton was much taller then me, of course he had to be, considering he was quite the basketball star, which I in fact find very adorable. His hair was bleach blonde, swooping down over his forehead, and to match the entire look he has amazing blue eyes. My face goes beet red as I flash back to reality. McKenzie looks at me funny. "Thats Trenton." I say quickly in a soft whisper. She had already known Blake from when I had lived with him one summer while my parents had split up. "Oooh!" She mouths. I bit my lip. "So uuh... What are you guys doing here?" I ask quietly. "We came to play some basketball." Blake says glancing over to McKenzie. I poke her side gently while I let out an unexpected giggle. "We came to swim." I say looking at my cousin, trying not to stare at Trenton. Blake smiles widely. He knew darn well that I liked Trenton. "You guys want to go swimming at the lake? My mom can drive us there." He says, carefully eyeing my reaction. I perk up. "Aunt Becky?! I havent seen her in forever!" I state smiling. "You good with that?" Blake asks Trenton. "Wait you guys are cousins?" Trenton asks. Blake and I nod. "Cool, I guess it's a small world." He says with a soft chuckle as he looks down. I quickly hide my blush. He is soooo darn cute. McKenzie looks over at me with a blush on her face as well. My eyes widen. She likes Blake! I totally forgot. We all get into my aunts car. "Hey Ashton!" She says smiling. "Hi!" I reply with a huge grin. I quickly shut my mouth as a realized that Trenton was in the car as well. "Well Blake? We are we all leaving so early?" She asks her son. "We all want to go to the Lake." He responds . "Oh Okay." She says restarting the car.

"Thanks mom." Blake says waving. Once we get near the water, Mckenzie and I lay out our towels. We glance over to the boys as they take off their shirts.


Revealing his abbs to McKenzie who turns away quickly. I smirk. What does she see in him? Ew nasty. But, If they were to get married.. we would be related. I glance over at Trenton who was doing the same. I saw my self doing the same as McKenzie did. Turning away quickly. Maybe its because we feel like we are staring... which we kinda are... McKenzie looks at me. We quickly slide off our cover ups. We run into the water before our crushes can notice us. I dont.... swim in lakes. I wade. I sit in a shallow part... also a part we my whole body was covered in the lakes water. McKenzie sits next to me. "Why are you guys sitting in one spot?" Blake asks laughing. "I dont swim in lakes... I wade," I say smirking. "You very well know that." I finish. A huge grin sweeps across his face. He grabs both of my legs and pulls me further in the water quickly. "BLAKE MY GLASSES!" I screech as I see that he had taken his off before he got into the water. He stops and takes them off my face. "Yo take them to shore." He says handing them to Trenton. I shut my eyes and lean my head back. Oh gosh. "HA! I win." He says smiling. McKenzie swims over to us. She stops with a disguested look on her face. "Oh my gosh!" She screams. "What?" I ask. "I stepped on something squishy!" She says. I go over to her and I feel the same thing. I reach down and pick it up. "Its clay!" I say. She smirks. "And only you would know that." I smile. "Mrs. Shaw always said that there was still fresh clay on the beaches. And it looks like we just found some!" I say. I take the water out of it and mold it into the shape of a bear. Trenton whispers something into Blakes ear as they swim away for a moment. Hmpf. "Wonder what they are talking about." McKenzie states smirking. I shrug. "Im going to the sand and tan." I say. "Ill go with you." She says... probably feeling weird if she stayed. I nod. Laying out my pink beach towl. I look through my dark shaded sunglasses up at the clouds above. "McKenzie!" Blake calls her up. We both sit up confused. Her face goes red as she looks at me. "Ill go with you." I mouth. She smiles weakly... I was thinking the samething she was.... What does he want?
