Don't Get Me Wrong (Middle of Revamping)

Chapter 12: Tradition, Part 2

 Last Saturday...

"Okay, Tweet. Did you finish up all your homework?" Arjun asks me as I check my homework for Pre-Cal.

"Yup, I'm done with everything. Finally," I declare with relief. With Arjun's help, I finished up my work for APUSH, Pre-Cal, Bio, and AP Lang.

"Perfecto. Now, we need to think of the ultimate plan," Chaitali says as she opens my room door.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm all for this, but what's the point of putting this much effort?" I ask in curiosity.

"Neil may be impulsive, but he's really smart. If something is suspicious, he will catch on and find out. You do not want that," Arjun reminds me as I nod.

"So, where do you guys wanna go?" I ask both of them as we walk down the stairs. Instinctively, they point to the backyard. 

"The pool? But you guys don't even have swimsuits," I point out, and they form a lazy smile.

"Hehe, about that. We kinda brought our swimsuits with us," she admits with a sheepish smile.

"Wow, now that's what I call commitment," I comment jokingly.

"We're serious. When we asked our parents, they even said to bring our swimsuits in case we wanted to go to the pool," Arjun insists.

"Well then, heck yeah! Chaitali, you can come with me. I have a spare bathroom in my room."

"Hey, what about me?" Arjun asks as he goes to get his swim trunks out of his bag.

"You can't come into the girl's room. There's a bathroom in Krish's room. You can go there," I instruct him, and he starts to look a little scared.

"I mean, is your brother still here? I don't want him to kill me." 

"Dude, Krish is a whole flight away and 2 hours behind. He can't even lay a finger on you. Plus, he likes you, so even if he was here, he won't care," I tell him to get him to calm down. I don't know why everyone is so scared of him. Sure, he's huge, but he's a big softie once you get to know him.

"Fine. But if he comes out of the garage with 2 nail guns and a baseball bat in hand, let's just say that you won't have the best couple of days after that. If that made any sense. I don't care either way," he promises me as he goes up the stairs.

"Ok, let's go to my room," I tell Chaitali as we follow Arjun up the stairs. After directing her to the bathroom, I went to my closet to change into my swimsuit.

 I decided to wear one of my new swimsuits, which was a white one-piece with blue-toned stripes all over it. I never had a good time to show it off, but now I can.

After putting it on, I brushed my hair and tried to put it into a braid. Man, I really need a haircut, I think to myself as I struggle to plait my hair. While I was braiding, Chaitali comes out of the bathroom.

"Dude, your swimsuit's so cute! Where did you get it from?" she asks me as she admires my suit.

"I got it from Cupshe. Their swimsuits are amazing," I describe to her as I look at her swimsuit.

"Man, I wish I could pull off a bikini like you. What a hottie," I gush and she laughs back. 

"Aww, thanks Tee. I got mine from Forever 21. And what do you mean? You're on fire in that swimsuit." She's wearing a lavender top with ruffle detailing on the neckline. She has on black shorts that covered her black/white polka dot bottoms. Her shoulder-length hair is styled in a high ponytail. Ugh, some people look good in anything they wear.
