"He brought me a bottle of water. Nothing else. Jesus." I lie quickly, looking around at everyone.

They all seem to physically relax apart from Will who just stares at me, still red in the face. I don't think telling them the truth right now is a good idea.

"I didn't hear anyone opening the door last night." Naomi states, pretending to be innocent, full well knowing that she's not helping.

I flash her a look telling her to shut up and she smiles sweetly before I look back at Will. "Well he did and now I'm fine. So let's move on." I say and go back to eating my breakfast.

I don't bother looking over at Leo, I don't want to make it more awkward than it is now.

Will takes a moment to stare at me before he speaks, "Don't say things like that. It makes you sound like a slag." His voice is calm, he doesn't take his eyes of me.

I'm sorry, what?

Eli coughs caught off guard and the rest of the table goes quite, choosing not to interfere with our argument.

From the corner of my eye I notice Leo death staring Will, his fist tightly grasped around his glass, the vines on his arm visible underneath his tan skin.

I have no idea why he's mad, I'm the one who should be pissed off.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I say sternly, keeping my eyes on him as I take a deep breath trying to calm my heart beat.

"What I'm just saying, don't get pissy." He defends himself shrugging, completely oblivious to the fact he just called me a slag.

He picks up his phone from the table and starts scrolling, leaning over the Jax to show him something on the screen.

My head is swarming with anger and embarrassment, I feel my face go a shade of red and have to bite my tongue to stop myself from crying.

Just as I'm about to get up to storm off, I get an idea. If he thinks I'm a slag, then that's exactly what I'm going to be.

A big smile stretches across my face, as I slowly start to stand up. I put my hands on the table and lean my arms straight out in front of me, lowering my body so that my chest is on Will's eye level.

The way I'm standing makes it so that my low-cut top is hanging just in the right place, allowing Will a front row view of my lacy bra that I'm wearing.

I lower my face to meet his and clear my throat, making him look up at me, his eyes go wide and his face flushes a bright red.

He is speechless, his eyes flicking between my face and my chest. I lean in over to his ear, my hot breath making him shiver beneath me.

"Don't ever," my voice is seductive as I move to his neck, my lips hovering over his skin before moving back to his ear, "speak to me like that again." I say in a firm tone, he breathes in sharply and gulps.

I stand up abruptly and smile playfully, pleased with how that shut him up.

He looks stunned as his eyes flicker from me to the rest of the group asking for some help, they all just laugh and shrug at him. I think I'm done here.

With full intention of making a show of it, I flick my hair over my shoulder and I start to walk away from the table.

I hear the rest of the group start laughing and taunting Will. I just catch Jax shouting "Dude you should have seen your face!" as I walk towards the door.

I don't turn around, there's no way I'm going to sit back down at the table after that. I walk out of the breakfast hall and bounce down the stairs.

I stride down to the lake, knowing that it will be quite down there, a good place to clear my head. I've never done anything like that before. It was fun.

Normally when Will says something to hurt my feeling, I shout at him and then he shouts back. It goes on like that for about an hour, Naomi and Alison timed our last argument to prove a point.

And then we make up after some time apart. It sounds really bad and unhealthy, but we both have very feisty personalities, so we need to argue every now and then.

So changing it up was fun.

Water activities don't run this early, so there won't be anyone on the lake. I take a seat at the end of the dock, my legs over the edge hovering above the water.

I lean back so I'm lying flat on the wood, face up at the sky, my arms by my sides.

I close my eyes and enjoy the sun on my face, my hair sprawled out on the ground around me.

I don't want to ever get up from lying here.
