She chuckled. “Look, I’ll come straight to the point.”
She lowered her eyes and shook her head. didn’t know that you and Kael-
“There’s nothing between us!”
I blurted. “Absolutely nothing.”
She looked at me with surprise in her eyes. She laughed softly. “Cool. In that case, would you accept my friendship?”
She towards me.
I stared at her hand for a while. Was I still in my dreams?
She grabbed my hand and shook it. “I don’t want useless bad blood between us. Let’s just be friends, please. Kaelwentky you, I like you.”
My mouth cracked. This was a lot to take in. Should I trust her?

“I know you won’t trust me now. But I am throwing a pool party at my place on the weekend. Please come and allow me to c you?”
she said, rounding her eyes. “Pretty please?”
“But it’s winter!”
I squeaked.
She laughed again. “Ours is a temperature–controlled pool.”
“I’m not sure, but I’ll let you know,”

“Please, please, please.”
She clasped her hands in front of me, begging me. “Just let me fix this animosity between us. I feel so guilty about it.”
I nodded, still unsure.
“Get Briana and Nate as well,”
she offered.
Oh. Her offer relaxed me. “Sure. In that case, I’ll come.”
“Sweet!”
she squealed and walked to her class with a grin.
I waked to my class in a haze. Kael and his brothers were present there. When my eyes locked with his, I could sense his anger. I averted my gaze and rushed to sit with Briana, who was talking to Parker.
For the next two days, I did everything I could to avoid Kael. Afraid that he would come to me in the night, I worked furiously on the plan to teach him and sent him through email. I had to take two lessons only. Thankfully, I had convinced my math teacher to postpone our quiz, which gave me time to stay away from him. I convinced my cousins to have lunch with me outside the cafeteria and stayed with them always. Every time his eyes met mine, I sensed a mix of anger and inquisitiveness. Whenever he attempted to come close to me, I would run in the opposite direction.
Finally, and thankfully, the week ended.
“Hey, how am I looking?”
Briana asked, twirling. She was wearing a knee–length frilly skirt over her swimsuit. We were going to Tracy’s party. She had reminded me twice during the last few days. At first, Briana was surprised, but later she became convinced that this time Tracy was being truly genuine.
“You look lovely,”
I replie relaxing back on my bed. I had worn a pair of shorts with a sleeveless shirt over my red bikini.
She grinned and looked at me, had the freckles you have. You look so… gorgeous!”
I laughed. “You’re just
“Don’t be a spoilsport,”
Is Nate ready? I want to come early.”
mel lightly. “If the party is good, we can stay there longer. If not, we’ll come, okay?”
I breathed, “Okay!”
Nate was hyper excited. He drove the car to the party venue like a maniac. Groups of students milled around. Some were sitting on the sofa talking to each other, while some were exploring each other in the nooks and corners of the house. Tracy lived in a cozy cottage with an indoor swimming pool. Loud music blared from the speakers we made our way to the pool. I kept a watch on where Kael was, but he wasn’t there. I didn’t know whether or not it was a relief.
When we reached, Tracy came to us along with her group of friends. “Astridddd!”
she squealed and hugged me. “I’m so glad that you came over!”
I blushed slightly, not ready for her reaction.
She warmed to Nate and Briana as well.
“I’ve invited Parker,”
she winked at Brian
“Oh!”
Briana looked at me. I nodded, who blushed to the core, her eyes flitting around. “He’s waiting for you behind the pool.”
ently telling her to go to him, and she took off like a comet streaking across the night sky.
Tracy turned to Nate. “Molly was asking about you. She’s right over there.”
I had never seen Nate blushing, but it was the cutest sight. Tracy chuckled. “This is your chance, dude.”
Nate has been crushing on her for a while.
Nate couldn’t contain his excitement. He didn’t even bother to look at me. Smoothing his hair back, he strode towards Molly.
Tracy turned her attention to me. “The pool is right there. Go on,”
she said, pointing her thumb behind. Picking up a mojito from a server’s tray, she handed it to me. “I’ll join you in ten minutes.”
I smiled as I took the mojito. This looked so normal that I smiled. “Thanks for calling us, Tracy.”
“Hey, you’re welcome. Now go!”
Astrid POV
It was a pool party, but I didn’t know how to swim. My parents tried their best to teach me swimming, but some incident from the past always stopped me. I don’t remember clearly, but through the haze of memories, I remember someone trying to drown me. The big hands of that person were imprinted on my memory when they pushed my little belly beneath water and didn’t allow me to come up.
I smelled the mojito in my hand as I walked towards the pool. It had alcohol. That was the last thing I wanted to have. I found an empty chaise chair and sprawled on it, keeping the glass aside on the table. My eyes went to the girls and boys who were playing water polo. They were splashing a lot of water as they laughed and giggled and chatted nonstop. A smile came to my lips, watching them having fun. This looked so normal.
“You haven’t had that?”
Tracy’s voice made me jerk my head to the right. She was coming in my direction with two of her friends. They sat on a chaise lounge next to mine with Tracy in the middle. I looked at her two friends, who were both grinning and looking at the students in the pool with interest.
“I–I don’t have alcohol,”
I replied with a shrug.
“What?”
she almost snickered. “This is not alcohol,”
she said, pointing at my glass. “This is an energy drink for us teenagers.”
I giggled. “No, I’m okay.”
She huffed. “Okay, then take this,”
she said, handing me her half–finished ginger ale. “At least have something!”
She nudged her friend with her elbow. “Can you bring us some snacks?”
Her friend squealed and then got up, nodding. She went in and got a tray full of peanuts, finger fries and quesadillas. Hungry, I picked up a handful of fries and stuffed them in my mouth, moaning at the taste.
