~Violet's POV~

The next morning was a pain in the ass. Luke kept bothering me while I was trying to get ready, and tried to push me into traffic as we walked to school. Then, we got to school and Ashton came rushing up to us with a penis drawn on his forehead in sharpie. He pulled out a sharpie and, out of nowhere, started marking up my face and body with sharpie.

I screamed and tried to shove him away, not wanting to walk around all day with sharpie on my face, but Luke wrapped his arms around me, keeping me in place while Ashton marked on my face with sharpie.

Eventually, my foot shot out, kicking Ashton in the shin. "Why did you do that?!" I exclaimed, trying to rub it off, and he whined in pained as he rubbed his shin. "Well, Calum did it to me first! I didn't want to be alone!" He cried. I glared at him, struggling in Luke's hold. "Ugh! Get off me!" I hissed, smacking him on the arm.

People were staring over at us, confused when they looked at me and then beginning to snicker when they spotted the penis drawn on Ashton's face. Luke stepped away from me as I glared at Ashton, "Bitch." I huffed at Luke, stalking away. Instantly, he yelled, "Jerk!" I couldn't help it. I smiled.

The day passed quickly and before I knew it, I was in eighth period, the bell ringing so we could go home. Luke and I walked to the mechanic shop not far from our school, and when they told him he could take it, he paid them and started driving me back to my house. I brought Luke's groceries from yesterday out of my house when we got there and put them in his car. He drove away as I headed back inside, locking my front door.

*Friday*

Michael was finally feeling better, so Ashton and Calum suggested we go out and do something together, which I agreed to. Calum wanted to go watch a movie, which Ashton shut down quickly, and Michael wanted to go ice skating, which I shut down on account of how bad I am at it.

Somehow, we ended up at my house, and I heard someone gasp loudly from the kitchen. "Violet!" Ashton exclaimed, and I raised a brow. "What?" I called, looking towards the kitchen. "You didn't tell me you have a pool!" He yelled back, running into the room. "Can we swim?!" He asked. The other three boys looked at me, waiting for my answer.

"It's probably a little cold, but yeah, if you wanna." I shrugged. "Yes!" Ashton cheered, fist pumping the air excitedly. I jerked away, not wanting to get punched.

Ashton began taking off his shirt right there in my living room, causing my eyes to widen. "Whoa! Whoa, whoa!" I exclaimed. "What are you doing?" I asked, to which he rolled his eyes. "Oh, calm down." He laughed, tossing his shirt to the floor. When he began taking off his jeans, I stood up. "Well, I'm going to go change, then!" I said awkwardly, heat creeping into my face as the other boys began casually removing their clothes.

I ran upstairs and looked for my swimsuit, which I found buried in my dresser. It looked like it'd be a little tight maybe, but it'd fit. I shrugged and stripped after closing the door and locking it, pulling on the swimsuit.

I had a bit of a belly, so I liked to use only one-piece swimsuits, always in black. When I was dressed, I tried to be sure that not too much of my butt was showing before I left my room and ran outside, even though it was completely dark. I turned on the lights we had outside, so we could see better, along with the one in the end of the pool.

I turned around and nearly slipped on some water, yelping in surprise as I steadied myself. "Good lord." I muttered, looking into the pool. Ashton, Calum, and Michael were the only ones in the pool, causing me to frown in confusion as they grinned up at me. "Hey," I started, "Where's Lu-" A scream shot out of my throat when I was shoved into the pool from behind, but not before I reached back and grabbed at whatever I could.
