Chapter 8

Rachel's POV

I woke up with the huge satisfaction of knowing that school was over.

I was freeeee!!!

It was so liberating as I slowly made my way to take a shower, choosing an outfit for the pool party today, which consisted of a tribal print bikini and high waisted shorts, along with a cute halter neck crop top.

I put my hair into a quick messy bun, and went downstairs to get my hands on some breakfast.

"Hey, honey, I'm guessing you slept well!?" My mum asked, laughing, because I was so bright and cheery.

"Yup, 13 hours of pure bliss!!!" I giggled as I poured some orange juice.

"So what time's the end of year party?" She asked, checking up on the details.

"Urm, no idea, I think about 4pm, but I'll probably have to go over to Mia's at like 2:30, because she'll probably still be asleep, knowing her! And then we have to go pick the twins up, and probably Ryan too!" I said incredibly quickly.

To say I was excited was an understatement. Pool party, pizza, cute guys, good music, and summerrr!! I literally couldn't have been any happier.

"Okay, honey, behave yourself! Don't let those cheeky little twins get out of control!" She joked, knowing that it would be the boys who ended up looking after Mia and I.

"Oh, and Mum- Is it okay if the twins, Skye and Sydney, and the other guys come over after? We won't be much trouble, we'll probably just watch a movie or something.." I asked.

"Sure, am I going to have to buy even more food? Because with five boys in the house, it'll be gone in seconds!!" She laughed.

"Yep, thanks Mum, love youuu!" I said, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek as I headed back upstairs to get my stuff, because I'd probably have to go over to Mia's soon.

Mia's POV

"Miiiaaaaaaaa!!" A singsongy voice interrupted my oh so peaceful sleep.

"Ugh," I groaned, rubbing my eyes. "What time is it?"

"It's 2:15pm Mia, get your lazy ass up and out of bed!!" Rachel commanded.

"Five more minutes...." I pleaded, pulling the duvet up, snugging in.

"Nope. Not a chance." She said, pulling the covers off me, and blinding me with sunlight as she opened the curtains.

"THE SUNLIGHT, IT BUURNS!!!" I squealed, over dramatically.

"Come on! Get up! I've already picked out a bikini and an outfit for you! Take a shower and change because we need to go pick the boys up!" She ushered me into the bathroom, hurriedly shoving the clothes she'd chosen in my arms.

"Jeeeez.." I mumbled.

I took a quick shower, which was really refreshing, and woke me up.

Wrapping myself up in my towel, I took a look at the clothes that Rachel had picked out for me.

To say she'd picked a skimpy outfit was an understatement.

It was a strapless, deep red bikini, which, to say the least, didn't consist of very much material..

On top of that, she'd picked out a pair of high waisted shorts that I didn't even knew I owned, and was sure I needed to get rid of, and a thin, white crop top.

"What the hell, Rachel!? I'm not wearing this. Nuh-uh. No way. Never." I shouted at her through the bathroom door.

I wasn't exactly comfortable with my body, I mean, I wasn't fat, but I wasn't the skinniest girl ever, and there was no way I'd have the confidence to pull this off.

"Jesus Christ, Mia, yes you are! You're wearing that. You have no choice and we're late so hurry up!!"

I sighed. For one, we were always, always, always late, so not much made a difference timewise, but I realised that with Rachel's nagging, I'd have to wear this.

"Fine!" I gave in, putting the clothes on. "But go get me a jacket!!" I commanded.

I changed, put on my jacket, grabbed my phone and before I knew it, Rachel was dragging me down the street, to the twins' house.

"Noooo. No. No no. Nope. No. No. No." I said, stopping as I realised where we were heading.

"I'm not going to their house dressed like this. Nope. Not in a million years."

"Well it's too late, look, they're coming now!"

Ah crap.

I refused to make any eye contact whatsoever, as the three boys approached us. (Ryan, Ethan and Grayson)

Well, I was pretty sure that I'd be avoiding Ethan today.

---------------

The party was in full swing, shirtless guys, girls in bikinis, pizza, a huge pool and some insane music.

I was actually having an awesome time.

I'd managed to avoid Ethan so far, and to be completely honest, he was nowhere to be seen, so I'd mustered the courage to take a dip with Skye and Sydney in my bathing suit.

The boys, Dylan, Jacob and Ryan all came up to us, interfering with our gossip.

"Looking goood, girls!" Jacob wolf whistled, looking directly at Skye which was too cute.

"He's not wrong.." Ryan mumbled, blushing as he looked at Sydney.

Feeling as if I was fifth wheeling, I left them all to socialise as I went to get a drink.

I hadn't seen Rachel since we'd gotten here, she must have gone off with Grayson.

I'm glad they'd managed to hang out with each other, because it was pretty cute how much they clearly liked each other.

A really cute guy came up to me, I think he was in my Geometry class..

"Mia!! You look great! How's it going?" He asked, chuckling. God damn he was cute. With those dimples blazing, I couldn't help but blush, giggling.

Grayson's POV

"Rach! Where are you taking me??" I asked as she led me by my hand.

"Be patient! We're nearly there!" She giggled.

We'd sort of ditched the whole pool party, having gotten a little bored.

"Okay! We're here!" She squealed.

We were in the mass of trees behind the public pool that had been rented for the party.

"Look!" She pointed to the trunk of one of the biggest trees.

"Is that- Oh my god!" I was shocked.

I went to take a closer look.

Engraved into the tree, it said;

'Grayson and Rachel, married forever and ever!'

"Omg this is where we got married!!" I chuckled, shocked.

When Rachel, Ethan, Mia and I were only about five or six, Rachel and I, and Ethan and Mia, had decided to get 'married'. It was really cute, we really did think it was real.

I laughed out loud, just remembering it as I traced my fingers over the wobbly writing.
