Recap

I stared into the pool, on the ledge, debating whether or not to just jump in and take it with some dignity or get in through the stair thingy's while screaming, "COLD".

I heard a, "NO! Don't do it!" and I felt warm hands on my bare back. I quickly grabbed something to help pull me back up but instead the hand I gripped fell with me. I heard an extremely girly scream as I plummeted toward the icy cold water of the pool.

Then I couldn't breathe. I inhaled something that wasn't air. It was water. Someone pushed me IN!

I opened my eyes but only saw blue as my eyes burned. Where was the air?!?!?! Which way was up and down?!? My chest started to ache and black dots danced across my vision.

I started going to way I thought was up but someone grabbed me by the waist and pulled me down! In a last attempt, I swam where I thought was up again, accidentally inhaling some more death water. 

No! I started kicking when nice warm air hit. I could have sworn I was going up and not down, deeper into the water. I sucked in the air and began choking on the water that was stuck in my lungs.

Then...the world went black.

Recap Over

I was on the edge of consciousness. I felt something warm and soft on my lips and a hand pumping on my chest. It didn't hurt, but it didn't particularly feel good either.

I felt 3 pairs of hands trying to get me awake again but I couldn't. It was dark and wet and cold.

"Ashley!" I heard my name being called from James' mouth. He sounded genuinely worried. That's all I needed to help pull me back into the real world, where my lungs felt like someone set fire to them, where my chest was aching where James was pushing it, where the cold concrete ground was hard and unforgiving on my not-so-useful-right-now back.

I coughed and out came the water, I could breathe again. I coughed repeatedly and a LOT of water came out. Finally I was able to see and I sat up, shivering.

I felt a warm-but wet-body wrap around me in a tight hug. I quickly hugged back and snuggled into his chest, knowing it was James.

He was wet.

But his face was filled with worry and relief and I automatically knew he didn't push me in. I pulled back and looked around, only to find a wet Pablo with a sheepish grin on his face.

The jack-ass! I'm glad I pulled him in! Two people I have to get back at now. But James did save me, so shouldn't that even his fine up?

I stood up with James and walked over to Tristian.

"Thank you." I said kissing his lips very lightly and his cheeks turned pink like he wanted to enjoy it but couldn't. Something was different about this one. He didn't act like the other guys.

I wonder if he's...but how could James have a gay friend? He's too shallow to have a gay friend. Dog's might be man's best friend, but gay guys are a girls best friend.

Then, I walked over to Pablo. The little lint licker had a smile on his face and squared his shoulders. Good.

"Pablo...." I started out seductively without intending to finish. He turned his head to the side and closed his eyes. Perfect. I pulled back my knee and slammed it forward into Pablo's sacs.

I heard James groan in unison with Tristian, while Pablo fell to the floor clutching his balls.

"Perhaps you should leave." I said to him, who was still on the ground-tears coming out of his eyes. I turned around, grabbed my towel, and left to the door through the library. I know that was mean, but he deserved it! I almost died!

Maybe I should give him a second chance though. If he ever forgives me. Or wants to be near me.

I walked up the stairs, all the way to the top of the floor. James said there was a Jacuzzi there, right? So I'll go warm up there.

I walked through a huge black room that had neon colors splattered all against the wall with various lighting appliances and a disco ball on the ceiling with everything off. It was kind of creepy.

Great place to throw a party though, my mind piped in.

At last a break of light came and I rushed towards it. I spotted the pool and the Jacuzzi. I set it to 105 F and jumped in.

While it started warming up, I looked at the sky, most importantly, the moon. I heard the door behind me creak open and close. I turned around- my thoughts going back to all the nightmares I had when I was a kid after my dad told me some scary story.

I met those eyes. Those warm Grey eyes. What the hell is he doing here?!?

******James POV*****

"Pablo...." She said in a sexy ass voice. He angled his head so his cheek was facing her lips when she pulled back her knee and BAM! Right in the moneymakers.

I groaned. Tristian groaned. And Pablo fell on the floor clutching his balls.

"Perhaps you should leave." Ashley said when he looked up at her.

There were almost tears coming from his eyes. That must hurt. A lot.

She turned around and headed towards the doors.

I walked up to him and he looked at me and whispered, " She's a keeper." And his face fell onto the floor. Tristian helped him up and walked him to the living room, me following them.

I went into the kitchen a got a bag of ice and handed it to Pablo who was now on the couch with his head tilted back.

"I should probably take him back to his house and let him sleep in his own bed. Dang! That shit must've hurt like hell." Tristian said and dragged Pablo out of the house.

I was wet from jumping in the pool to save Ashley so I decided to go find her. I searched around the house and when I found her she was upstairs waiting for the Jacuzzi. I went back into our room and changed into light blue swimming shorts.

It brought out my abs! I looked so hot, Ashley will be drooling over me while I drool over her.

I went back upstairs and looked at the dark dance room. I opened the door(it made a creaking noise and blew my cover!) and saw Ashley turn to face me, horror written all over her face.

When she saw it was me, she relaxed and started going all "Ignore James" mode. How could she ignore me?!?!?!? I looked sexy! Why couldn't she just act like all the other girls? Why couldn't she just fall in love with me and my body? After all, I am the school jock. The sexy, player school jock. I will make her fall in love with me. But why? I couldn't like her...
