Strip it Down- Liam Payne

     I look down at my half naked body shaking my head. I can't believe I agreed to this. Why would I agree to this? Especially knowing Wesley will be here. Not that I care... I don't care if he's here or not. I look up to Gina in her peach bikini before looking back down to my white one. I hate this. I look to Sloan seeing her in a light blue bikini and then I see Blair in a black one. So ironic. Me in a white one and her in a black one.

     "I'm not tan enough for this bikini." I mutter and Gina rolls her eyes.

     "Yes, you are." Gina says.

     "I'm not skinny enough for this bikini."

     "You're perfect. Shh."

     "I'm not good enough for this bikini."

     "Yes, you are now shut it." She snaps and I smile.

     "You have a crush." I sing watching her expression go to shock.

     "What are you talking about?" She asks looking to me.

     "You like like someone." I smile widely as she shakes her head.

     "I don't like like anyone." She grumbles and then gets ready to exit again. I gasp causing her to lose her game face and look at me confused.

     "He's here isn't he?" I ask and her eyes widen.

     "What? No. I don't know what you're talking about." She says and then gets back in her pose.

     "What's his name?" Gina shakes her head making her red shinny, beautiful, long hair fly around her face. The music starts and she doesn't waste a second as she marches out and the smile doesn't leave my face as I follow after her. She stands in the front of the stage and I stand next to her getting in my pose as she does the same. She gives me a worried glance as if she knew I wouldn't drop it. She knows me so well.

     "Does he go to our school?" I ask and she tilts her head up not answering.

     "Shh." Gina shushes.

     "Hmm, let's see."

     "Sel, be quiet." She says.

     "Who would Gina like?" I ask myself as I let my eyes roam the crowd. My eyes skip over Wesley and Max before I look back to Gina again. She was looking to the crowd. Or maybe she was looking at someone in the crowd. I follow her eyes until I spot him. No. I do my best to follow her eyes at least a dozen more times before I break my pose and shake my head. "You can't. You wouldn't." Gina squeezes her eyes closed as if knowing it was wrong. It was way beyond wrong.

     "Jaxon?" I ask her. "Of all people you could have a crush on, you choose Jaxon." She opens her eyes again and looks up toward the spotlights above. I look down as I slowly get back into my pose and the music begins. But I didn't feel like dancing this time. I didn't feel like anything. I wasn't happy anymore. The move I began to do, it wasn't fun, it was like I was forcing myself to do it other than just letting the music take me. Why should I let it go and let the music take me?

     I suddenly have a lot to think about. Hands lock with mine and someone begins dancing with me, pulling me from my trance. James. He had a look in his eyes and suddenly I wanted nothing more than to get away from him, but I couldn't ask Gina for help, nor could I ask Blair. That left Sloan and she was too far away for me to get to her. "Don't even think about it. You're not escaping me this time." James says letting me go and spinning me before pulling me back to him.

     "What ever. Let's just get this over with." I mutter. We dance together but my mind wasn't with the music. It was thinking about Gina and Jaxon. After everything, how could she?
