6:30 p. m.

      Me and Dinger headed to the pool downstairs to get away from all the couple stuff around Bobby and Lainie. I mean after all they are fucking as I speak. We arrive at the pool aside from the water park and I take off my tee. I reveal myself in a black bikini, which I hate showing my body in front of hardly anyone.

                   "Woah" I turn around and see Dinger gooning at me like, well like a goon. "O shut up." I roll my eyes because after all Dinger is a huge man whore. I don't know why but he just seems to attracts girls like bees to honey.

          "Sorry." He mutters as he takes off his shirt. I was about to pull my hair up by the pool and all I hear is a loud "look out!" Dinger tackles me and I slammed right into the water.
                "O my you asshole!" I yell, coming out the water, because I didn't want my hair to get wet. "Your gonna get it Holfield!" as I grab his red hair and dunk him underwater.
              "O your the one who's gonna get it!" He gasps as he comes up from the water and tackles me. We wrestled for a good five minutes until our laughter died down and he just stopped and stared at me with his blue eyes. It just got awkward so we let go of eachother. "Hmm well I'm gonna go to the snack bar, you want anything?" I ask as I hop out the pool and cover up with a towel.

             "Sure get me a coke." He smirks and dives into the water. I shake my head and walk over towards the snack bar. Not even 10 minutes goes by and I'm walking back to the pool and instantly regret leaving. Three girls were now in the pool talking Dinger up. "Your a doll!" He says to me and grabs the coke out of my hands as I get back in the pool.

             "Um Dinger!" I say tryna get his attention as he's talking to this blonde bimbo. "O ya ladies this is my dear friend, M." He smirks and takes a swig if coke. The girls just glare at me and giving me a stare of death. He continued his conversation and told my arms and sip my coke. After ten minutes of being ignored while these girls eat up Dinger's compliments and his bluffing I get back out of the pool. "I'll see you in the hotel!" I spat and grab my things and storm off. I don't know but seeing him with other girls makes me mad for some reason. We were having a good time I thought. ME AND HIM were suppose to be hanging out, not US WITH WHORES. O well if he wants to hang with sluts and not his friends, fine by me.

                                              -

        An hour or so goes by and since Bobby and Lainie are still in their bedroom I decided to go to the balcony and let off some steam in the hot tub. I just needed to calm down from this emotion that over came me, seeing all those girls and Dinger.
              I was staring off in the distance smoking on my second cigarette when I heard the sliding doors open. "M?" I look over and see Dinger with his shirt back on and he had a worried look on his face. I look away and take another drag. "Hey I'm sorry it's just I didn't think you would mind those chicks I mean they came over while you were getting me a coke." He said as his voice kinda cracked.
                 "It's fine." I spat and continue to drag my cigarette. "He takes off his shirt and climbs in the hot tub. "Nah it's not." He shrug his head and grabbed a cigarette from the pack laying on the side of the hot tub. "Your my friend and we were suppose to spend time together, not with more stupid chicks that I'll never see again." He sighs and looks down into the bubbling water.

           "Your good, it's just I see you with girls all the time and uh" I pause thinking of the right thing to say. "Yea I guess I kinda just wanted to hang with you that's all." I shrug and put my cigarette in the ash tray. "Come here." He says and brings me over to him. I lay my head in the crook of his neck as he takes a puff of his cancer stick. I seem to calm down as I just close my eyes and just listen to everything around me. All you can hear was the bubbling of the water, as the snow was falling outside the balcony, and our breathing was at pace with each others. Me and Dinger never gotten along when we first met but we're ok now, and I consider him one of my best friends. That night Lainie and Bobby never came out of their bedroom. Dinger and I just stayed up and watched MTV and ate chips, falling asleep in the room next to them.
