We just sit their, me in Zoe's arms, while we comfort each other. We don't move and don't plan to when we hear someone shout in the corridor.

"TTYYLLEERR"

We look at each other and burst out laughing.

"Caspar?" Zoe asks.

"Caspar." I reply, still in fits of laughter.

Reluctantly, we stand up,breaking away from each other. The muffled voices of Tyler and Caspar could be heard from the other side of the door and it sounded like Caspar was coming to get us to go swimming. What Tyler was doing on this floor I had no idea of, seeing as Zoe and Alfies room was the one here. Everyone was a floor above.

Zoe grabs her towel and swings open the door. I smile out at them, trying not to think of the events the night before. They looked shocked to see me in Zoe's room and then smiled. It wasn't a sympathetic smile but a genuine smile. It had been a while since anyone had said anything and things was becoming awkward.

"So, anyone for a swim?"

I silently praised Caspar for breaking the tension and we all agreed. Walking behind a little, I kept my head on the ground. Zoe head darts back at me and tells the others to go on. They nod and run up to knock on Joe. Zoe stops me and looks me in the eye.

"Marcus, it will be alright!"

"I know. Come on, I cant have them worrying about me again" I said, trying to sound convincing.

We both picked up the pace and rounded the corner to see everyone had gathered in the lobby. And as I turned I felt everyone's eyes on me. Joe was the first one to speak up.

"Zoe! Marcus! We were beginning to wonder what you was up to."

"They was obviously up to something intimate"

My head stood up to see Tyler smirking. Zoe and mines face blushed bright red and everyone was laughing at how ridiculous it was. Alfie looked like was going to punch something and Zoe ran over to him, immediately reassuring him. I scowled at Tyler before he came over and put his arm around me. I flinched and I think he noticed, for he put his arm down after giving me an apologetic hug. I looked up and smiled when I noticed we was both lagging behind everyone. I turned to Tyler and grinned, almost feeling totally natural. I seemed to realize that I didn't want to talk about yesterday and grabbed my hand instead. We rushed by everyone and ignoring the look Zoe was giving us, we ran, fully clothed, straight into the pool.

And although he was trying to hide it, he was worried about something. And something told me that he wasn't going to tell me...
