7I Twats

The next morning I woke up to the feeling of being lifted out of my bed and slung over someone's shoulder.

I opened my eyes groggily but was quickly snapped out of my daze when I realized that I had been slung over someone's shoulder (that someone being Liam) and I was being carried at full sprint through the house and out the back door to the pool.

My head whacked painfully against Liam's back as he skidded to a halt by the edge of the water.

My eyes widened as I realized what he was going to do. "No! It's too fucking early for this!" I yelled as I punched and slapped his back. However, it was no use.

My stepbrother easily grabbed my waist and pulled me off his shoulder into his arms before throwing me unceremoniously into the pool.

I flew through the air in pure terror before my body hit the cold water full force and I sank down to the bottom, my hair whipping my face.

I firmly squeezed shut to try and block out the water. The fact that I was still in my teen wolf tank top and shorts just caused me to be even colder and feel more desperate.

Add on the fact I couldn't open my eyes so everything was black and I was thrashing around with no clue which way was up, it wasn't exactly a fun feeling.

To make it even worse, I had swallowed a mouthful of water when I had been pushed in so I was rapidly running out of breath.

Great start to the day.

I continued to flail my arms around until finally I felt a splash next to me and someone grab me under my armpits. It wasn't that I couldn't swim. If anything I was brilliant at swimming, but the element of surprise, the temperature, the force, my clothes, the fact I couldn't see, I had swallowed water just meant I wasn't in in a very good position at that moment.

The person who had grabbed me quickly kicked up the surface with me firmly in their grip.

My head came out of the water and I took a gasp of air before I began to cough and splutter. Whoever brought me to the surface dragged me over to the side and I rested my elbows on the ground with the rest of my body below the water as I continued my coughing fit.

Finally it ended and I rubbed my eyes to try and get the water out of them.

"You twats!" I croaked out. My throat was still sore from all of my coughing so my voice sounded quite raspy.

I rose my gaze to meet my stepbrothers' guilty ones. They were all standing there, watching me as I glared at them and pulled myself up onto the edge of the pool.

I twisted around to see who had saved me and saw Mason treading water with just sweatpants on. I assumed that was what he slept in.

I smiled at him gratefully and he returned it before he also pulled himself out of the water.

There was only one way to get back at them.

Taking a deep breath, I turned back to the pool and dived in, this time actually being prepared for the water to wash over me as I swam up to the surface again.  

"Li," I called, noticing that Liam was the one closest to me, "Can you help me get out?"

He probably still felt guilty because he quickly jogged over to me and grabbed my outstretched hand. I grinned evilly at  him and I noticed his eyebrows furrow at my expression.

"I hope you can swim," I smirked before yanking his arm forwards so hard he toppled into the pool. I giggled as he surfaced, running his hand through his now soaking wet hair that was stuck to his forehead.  

To be honest, he was pretty dumb for falling for it. I mean, why the hell would I jump in and then immediately want to get out. 

"Anyone else going to join" Liam called out to the rest of his brothers who, within seconds, were pulling off their tops.

Why did the biggest dicks on earth have to have six packs?

It was rare for me to see boys shirtless, so I found myself just looking at them, probably making it extremely awkward.

I think that they must have seen me staring at them wide-eyed because Jayden asked, "What? Never seen abs before?"

"No, and I still haven't," I shot back to which he just rolled his eyes.

I pushed myself out of the way as he ran forwards and cannon balled into the water, the other boys following close behind.

I let out a laugh as the splash he created poured over me. 

I quickly swung my arms up through the water to create a wave that crashed into him. "Hey!" Jayden exclaimed with a fake expression of anger on his face.

I let out a laugh and swam to the edge of the pool so that I didn't get splashed again when his other brothers jumped in.

A smile crept onto my face as I watched them all messing around with each other and I just watched them with a grin.

Suddenly, someone grabbed me from the side and lifted me up. 

I cried out in surprise as I met the bare chest of Logan. "Come on," he chuckled. "Join in with us."

I wrapped my legs around his hips and arms around his neck as he swam over to the boys with me hanging off of him.

"Special delivery!" Logan called before grabbing my waist and dumping me into the center of the pool.

I quickly regained my composure and trod water as I looked around at my stepbrothers. Unfortunately for me, they all had evil smirks on their faces that made me shiver.

I glanced around at all of them and immediately wanted to get out of there.

"Welp," I said nervously, "I'm just going to go."

I lunged between Cole and Noah only for both to grab me and push me back to where I was previously. 

And then they all splashed me.

A force like a massive tidal wave washed over me and completely soaked my body.

I glared harshly at them but they were all too busy laughing to notice.

"Y-your face!" Noah chortled.

I huffed and folded my arms over my chest.

"Assholes," I mumbled, only to receive a small slap from Cole. 

"Language," he reprimanded. 

I just rolled my eyes and splashed him. 

We stayed in there for a good half an hour before I became too cold so I decided to get out. "Hey guys!" I called, "I'm going back inside now."

"I'll come with you, I'm quite cold," Cole said as he swam over to the side of the pool I was on. 

I smiled gratefully at him and pulled myself out of the pool.

I walked back into the house with Cole next to me, leaving a trail of water as we went.

We went into the kitchen, and I found myself a cookie from in the tin by the toaster, leaning against the counter as I took a content bite.

"Liam can be an asshole. He just wanted to have some fun. To be honest, you should be more happy than anything. It's his way of showing he accepts you and is comfortable around you. I think we're all starting to like you now, even Jayden. You might not believe me but he thinks you're alright," Noah smiled.

"Thanks," I said, smiling back. "I'm going to go get changed."

My stepbrother nodded at me and he walked into his room while I carried down the hall to my room to get changed out of my soaking wet pyjamas.

Maybe I did have a little bit of fun today.
