what was in store for her. Between a new lover with pink streaks in her hair, to u...

YOUR POV
Toni stayed still for a few moments, her golden eyes fixated on me. Bodies pushed past us, but she didn't move.
"C'mon, Toni!" I cheered and extended my hand out to her.
Her eyes blinked furiously, shaking herself out of her fixation. She grabbed my hand and together we walked over to the table overflowing with alcoholic beverages. We exchanged jokes and teases, she was back to her normal, sassy self.
"So..." she began as she jumped up on brick half-wall enclosing the garden, "when is the court trial?".
My nose scrunched up at the mention of the trial. I hadn't thought about it for a while and I was enjoying not being bothered with it.
"Four days," I sighed and stared at the murky tan liquid in my cup.
"Want me to come with you? You know, moral support," she laughed, trying to make light of the situation. I joined in on the laugh.
"Thanks, Toni. If you want you should come. We're all going to need to be there for each other," I responded and tried my best to avoid her burning gaze. I just knew she was staring at me, trying to see right through me, to know how I was feeling.
"Anyways, we don't need to talk about that," She said and I internally rejoiced.
"Hey, you've been here for like half a year now, that's something to celebrate!" She cheered and held her red solo cup up for me to connect mine with hers. We giggled as our cups clattered together and a few alcohol drops splashed out and onto the concrete.
"Well, who's counting?" I joked, twirling the liquid around in my cup.
"I am," She stated, staring right at me.
Immediately I felt my cheeks flush a brighter pink than the shade of pink on Toni's bathing suit. I laughed it off, hoping she didn't see the giddiness I felt.
Toni's lips parted to say something else, but she was interrupted by two strong arms wrapping around my torso. Laughter erupted around me as I was pulled away from Toni. Who's doing this? What's going on? Toni's figure gradually got smaller the farther I was pulled back. Just when I thought my capture was done, I was hoisted up and thrown. The crisp, cool water of the pool invaded all my senses once I had been expelled from the hold I was in. I swam frantically to the surface. My (h/c) hair blocked my view, but I heard all the laughing and cheering. I pushed back the hair covering my eyes and saw a bunch of teenagers whooping, and I saw the person who had thrown me in the pool right in front of me on the concrete.
