LIE

Chapter 41

When we got back to the pool Evie was sitting down with a towel on.

"Hey girl." I waved at her.

She smiled back, "hey. You boys enjoy your lunch?"

"Yeah." We answered.

I sat down in front of her while Indra sat beside her.

Evie continued to dry herself off as we talked.

"That little girl really likes the water." She said.

We looked over to Alexandria. She had a floatie around her waist and was splashing the water with glee.

We looked back to each other.

"And I thought you both liked swimming?" Evie asked.

"I do but I don't care for it anymore." Indra said.

"Ditto." I said.

"Mmhmm." Evie said skeptically.

"You scared." She teased.

"Pfft." I stood up. "Watch me closely bitches!" I ran and jumped into the nine feet end with everything on. Did I have my phone on me?

I swam up to the surface and clung to the cement ledge, shivering. That water was cold as hell.

I wiped water from my eye and spit out water.

"There see? Not afraid." I said. "Hey, I just swam for the first time in forever!" I cheered.

Now I remember why I liked to swim; being surround by something that can kill you, but not letting it.

"Your turn Indra!" I called.

He sighed and stood up. Kicked off his flip flops and put his phone on the chair.

He ran and jumped over me and splashed me upon landing.

He swam up. "Happy?"

"Very." I grinned.

How is it possible for someone to look sexier when wet?

Evie came over and stooped down in front of me.

"Move or I'll pull you in." I said.

"No you won't." She said.

She moved to the side and climbed in.

"Hooray," I said sarcastically. "We're all swimming."

"I'm getting out." I said as I began to swim to the stairs.

"Why?" Evie called as she swam beside me.

"It's too deep." I replied.

Evie blew air.

I sat on the steps. Evie joined me, followed by Indra soon after.

"I can't believe in one more month you and Jason will be graduating." I said. "You'll be leaving us!" I sobbed dramatically.

"Maybe. Maybe not." Indra said.

"You can't leave us," Evie hugged onto him. "You'll get sucked up into life and forget all about us!"

"I won't get sucked up in life." Indra said dryly.

Evie looked comfortable on Indra's arm, so I grabbed on to his other arm and leaned against him. I closed my eye and dozed off.

"You guys look bored to death." I heard Brian's voice after a while. I sat up and let go of Indra.

"Luc come on, we're leaving." Jeanette said.
