Gabby's POV*

     As I got changed, I couldn't help thinking of how great this summer would be. I pulled my hair into a French braid, then walked out onto my balcony. The ocean was so blue. I walked downstairs to where the pool was and started putting on sun block.

     "Want some help?" Will asked. I nodded as he rubbed it in on my back.

     "Thanks," I said. As I put my book down on one of the chairs, I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist before picking me up. I screamed until I realized it was Gabe.

     "Did I scare you, red?" he asked.

     "Yes, now could you put me down?" I asked him, smiling.

     "Okay but hold your breath!" Gabe said, throwing me in the pool.

     When I emerged, the rest of the guys were there, and Dalton was waiting on the diving board. I moved out of his way, and he did one of those back flip things. The others jumped in, too, then they chose to play volleyball. Cole, Dana, and Dalton crushed us 39-12. We spent the rest of the day hanging in or near the pool.

     "What time is the Harry Potter thing on Friday?" Will asked me.

     I checked my phone to find out, then held up 5 fingers.

     "What Harry Potter thing?" Cole asked.

     "Some kind of marathon, I think," Gabe answered.

     "Okay cool, how long is it?" Dana inquired.

     "It lasts till Sunday," I said.

     "Hey do you guys wanna go get some ice cream?" Cole said.

     "Um, YES!" Will said, with a huge grin. I laughed at how excited he got. We took Cole's car and went to the ice cream place.

     "Whoa," I said. The guy working behind the counter was beautiful.

     "What's 'whoa?'" Will asked.

     I was still staring at him when I said, "Oh, uh, nothing."  He followed me gaze then gave me a knowing look.

     "What's going on here?" Dalton asked.

     "Someone's in looove," Will said, wiggling his eyebrows.

     "N-no I'm not," I protested.

     "Can I help you, miss?" Pretty boy asked.

     "C-could I, um, uh, have a, uh, pistachio?" I stammered.

     He smiled at me, "Cup or cone?"

     "C-c-cup, please?"

     "One scoop or two?"

     "Uh, t-two."

     "Okay that'll be $3.50," he said. When we all had our ice cream, we went to go sit outside.

     "Why did you get pistachio? You don’t like pistachio," Will said, laughing hysterically.

     "I don't know! I panicked," I said.

     "Then you DID like that guy!" Dalton said.

     "Well, uh, yea," I said, blushing. "He was perfect."

Dalton's POV*

     So, Gabby was in love with the ice cream boy. It was all I could do to hide my jealousy. The others were talking about who knows what, so I kinda just zoned out, thinking about Gabby.

     "Dalton!" Cole said, shaking me out of my trance. "We said your name like 30 times, are you feeling alright?"

     "Fine," I said.

     "Well, we were gonna go to the movies, would you care to join us?" Dana said.

     "Yea, sure, what movie?" I asked.

     "Batman?" Gabe suggested hopefully.

     "No," Cole said.

     "Let's see TFIOS!" Will said.

     "That's a chick flick," Dana said, questioning Will's choice.

     "So? Come on, let's see it!" he protested.

     "You know what? Fine," Cole said.
