"Did you know that we're the only couple from our friend group who hasn't gone skinny dipping here yet? And Connor did it with his ex, well then girlfriend, now ex" he whispers in my ear

"What are you trying to say, Mason?" I raise my eyebrows, daring him to say it again

"Well, it's kind of a tradition here. Wouldn't want to break that, now would we?" he smirks as he puts me down on the ground

Now

"We'll see" I wink and his smirk turns into a mischievous smile

"I'm not saying we're going to do it. I'm just saying that maybe, sometime. Not now though"

"I can live with that"

Lauren and Jade run towards us. Lauren has a waterproof speaker in her hand with the song Hot N cold – Katy Perry on.

"You, change your mind, like a girl, changes clothes" Jade sings

"Yeah you, PMS, like a b*tch, I would know" Lauren takes over, pointing to Jake in the process, who plasters a fake-shocked and offended look on his face, while placing his hand on his heart and the other on his forehead as he dramatically walks and sighs. I chuckle at his behavior before it's my turn to sing

"And you overthink, always speak cryptically, I should know, that you're no good for me" I sing

"Cause you're hot then you're cold, you're yes then you're no." The three of us sing together

"You're in then you're out, you're up then you're down"

"You're wrong when it's right, it's black and it's white"

"We fight, we break up, we kiss, we make up"

"Cover your ears, boys!" Mason screams as he walks away from us with his hands over his ears

"You, you don't really want to stay, no, you, but you don't really want to go-o" we continue, but I can't help but laugh at Mason

"You're hot then you're cold, you're yes then you're no"

"You're in then you're out"

"You're up then you're down"

"Are our ears save?" Tyler asks pleadingly

"Aw, boohoo, party poopers"

"Let's go swim" Jade and Connor say at the same time, which results in them looking at each other in surprise and then bursting out in laughter

We all take our bags out of the car, which Jayden has moved to the grass field in front of the pools.

Jade walks to me and smiles mischievously.

"So is it true what I heard?"

"Depends on what you heard"

"You're going skinny dipping with Mason?"

"No! I said maybe some other time" I groan

"Hmm, you better keep up the tradition" she winks

"Argh"

"You don't have to, if you don't want to do it. You know, it's your own choice. No one will blame you if you don't want to do it" she smiles

"It's not that I don't want to do it, just not yet. We haven't been together for long, I recall a certain accident this morning that had written 'embarrassing' all over it. I'm just not ready for it" I smile softly
