LUNA POV

We were still standing in the hallway and Martin told us that it was a free day. I think I saw a swimming pool outside when we got here yesterday.

“Who wants to go swimming?” I asked hoping to take everybody's mind off of what happened.

“I will. It sounds fun,” Alya commented.

“Maybe we all should. It would be a great bonding activity for us,” Eugene suggested. He’s right, we could all use this time to get to know each other better.

“Now that’s a pretty damn good idea,” I said. “We all don’t know each other that well. Maybe we should take the time to learn about one another. We are going to be stuck here together for a long time.”

“I guess.” Marissa said, no doubt daydreaming about Ethan.

“Let’s all get ready and meet downstairs in ten minutes,” Tom said.

We all headed to our rooms and got ready. I wore a mango colored tropical bikini top and matching high waisted bottoms with palm trees on them. Neveah wore a red flounce top with matching bottoms.

“I love your swimsuit,” I complimented Neveah.

“Thanks. I love yours too.”

“Thanks.”

We went downstairs and saw Alya who wore her swimsuit under an oversized shirt, Blair who was wearing a tiny gold bikini top and some black spandex shorts over her bottoms, Marissa who wore one of those one pieces that showed more skin than a bikini, Grays however bore dark blue and white striped swim trunks, Ethan who had a red pair, Tom had on a marvel trunks with a tight fitting gray top, and Eugene who wore some plain gray swimwear, were already waiting.

A couple minutes later the rest walked down the stairs. Asuka wore a green ombre one piece swimsuit, Catalina wore a mustard yellow bikini, and Delilah wore a slightly revealing orange tankini. As for the guys they mainly just wore trunks. James wore black trunks, Shawn wore a pair of American flag trunks with a plain white tank top, Cameron wore navy blue trunks with anchors, and Charlie wore neon green trunks and a white tank top.

“Everyone’s here. Let’s hit the pool.” Marissa said, a bit impatiently.

“Okay. No need to be pushy,” Tom told her.

We all walked out to the pool. I’ve never seen a pool so big. It was as big as one you would see at a waterpark. It even had a waterslide. There was a volleyball net set up over the pool. I went over and grabbed a volleyball that was sitting on one of the chairs.

“Let’s play volleyball. Girls against guys?” I suggested.

“You’re on.” Ethan challenged.

“But, I want to be on Ethan’s team,” Marissa complained.

“That’s too bad. You don’t always get what you want in life,” Asuka said. She hated Marissa. Who didn’t? She’s extremely spoiled and racist.

“Whatever,” she said and got in the pool.

We all got to our sides and started the game.

CHARLIE POV

We were all playing volleyball in the pool. The guys weren’t doing that bad. The game was close, the girls were only ahead by five points.

“That’s targeting!” Marissa yelled at Eugene, who was currently serving. She’s been saying that every time it went to her.

“For the last f*cking time. No it isn’t,” Eugene said. He had enough of her.

“You need to treat me with respect.”

“I don’t need to do sh*t.” he said and served the ball. This time it went to Asuka. She bumped it in the air and Blair set it up, then Luna went and spiked it onto our side. The ball went right for Tom, luckily he bumped it over to the girls side.
“Good save, man,” I said.

Cat went for the ball, hit it and sent it flying… out of bounds.

“Dammit!” She yelled.

“It’s okay. We’re still ahead by a few points.” Delilah told her.

Cat ignored her comment and went after the ball. She threw it over to our side. It was my turn to serve. I hit it over the net and Delilah hit it back over. It kept going for what seemed like fifteen minutes. I hit it and it ricocheted off the net and hit me in the face.

“I’m fine.” I let everyone know.

“We won! 25 to 21, b*tches!” Alya yelled after she scored the final point, causing the girls to cheer.

We all got out of the pool and went back into the house. I looked at the clock which read 12:30.

“I say we get something for lunch,” I recommended.

“What would we eat? We can’t even leave the house,” Blair questioned.

“We need to make it ourselves. I think I found some sandwich stuff in the fridge and some sub buns in the pantry. We can make subs or something.” I suggested.

Nobody argued with that idea so we all got to work and made lunch.

*3 hours later*

There wasn’t a lot to do so some of us sat in our rooms while others walked around the house. There was a group of four who were wandering around. That group consisted of me, Luna, Ethan, and Delilah. Ethan and Luna were walking ahead of us, only a few inches apart. They looked kinda cute together, but then I remembered about Luna's boyfriend.

Delilah and I kept bumping into each other like a couple of flirty teens.

It was kind of nice.

We discovered a stairway leading to a fourth floor so we went to see what was up there. As soon as we got to the top our jaws dropped. The whole floor had a ton of different activities to do. There was an arcade, bowling alley, movie theater, fully stocked “bar”, and a hot tub room. We quickly ran down the stairs and started pounding on everyone’s doors causing them to get angry and walk out, yelling at us.

“This better be good. I was taking a nap.” James said with an angry tone.

“There is a whole floor with a sh*t ton of activities to do. Come on, let’s check it out.” Luna said very excitedly.

We all went upstairs and checked it out together.

“Well damn, I guess you’re right,” Neveah said.

We all decided to spend the rest of the day up here, having a lot more fun than we would have just sitting in our rooms.

I don’t want this to ever end.
