Pool Party (2)
Pool party 2
ANN’S POV
We all arrived home early before the pool party was about to start.
“Ann!!” I heard Raynes’ voice calling from behind.
I turned around and stopped in my tracks waiting for her to reach me.
“Hey girl what’s wrong?” Rayne asked calmly as she got to me.
“I’m fine.” I replied to her trying to be bold and outspoken. cause lately I’ve been hiding behind the shadows.
“I didn’t see you last night at dinner, neither did I see you this morning.” Rayne said.
“I went jogging with Samatha.” I replied.
“Oh you girls are now getting along, tell me about it.” She said with a light giggle.
How do I tell her that I’m in love with a girl who’s not even in love with me.
“No Rayne, we all went jogging this morning.” I said trying to push the topic of Samantha aside.
“I’ll see you by the pool then, but till then whatever you feel like sharing with me, I’m always here.” Rayne said.
“Thank you Rayne.” I said as I hugged her tightly.
All I needed was a shoulder to rely on right now and Rayne was always here.
Sometimes I wish I could just tell her what transpired between Bianca and Eric but sometimes I felt what’s in the past is meant to be in the past.
Rayne is more than just a friend, she’s more like a big sister and a comfort zone for me.
“See ya later, I wanna go get ready for some pool party.” she said excitedly and walked off.
I laughed silently at her dramatic behavior.
I got to my room to get ready for the pool party, I got into the shower and had a quick shower.
I got out and found Samatha sitting on the bed so indulged with her phone.
I wanted to say something to her but I decided to act as though I didn’t see her.
I walked into the closet and got dressed in a swimsuit and tied a towel round my waist while walking out.
“I thought you weren’t interested in the pool party thing.” Samatha said.
“I changed my mind.” I replied to her.
I was about walking out then all of a sudden I changed my mind and braced up to ask the question I’ve been meaning to ask her since last night.
“Samatha, why did you kiss me?” I asked calmly.
She looked at me for a second before focusing her attention on her phone once more.
“It was my gift for beating your ass on ice skating!” she simply replied without looking at me.
Just like I had guessed there wasn’t anything she felt for me whatsoever.
I sighed and walked out of the room.
I walked over to the pool where the others were.
“Ann you’re here.” Elaiana said as I walked up to her.
“I never thought you would come.” she added.
“I changed my mind.” I replied to her.
“Where’s Rayne?” I asked, looking around and not finding her amongst us.
“She should be up in her room, she would be down any moment from now.” Eliana replied.
“Heyy girls!” I heard Rayne’s voice ahead of us as she walked towards us.
“Speak of the devil.” I murdered under my breath.
“What took you so long?” Elaiana asked Rayne.
“I was trying to pick one outstanding swimsuit.” Ryane replied.
“Mmm Erick isn’t here.” I said mockingly.
“Girl you didn’t just say that.” Ryane said dramatically and we all laughed.
“Cough cough, attention ladies.” Bianca said as she was trying to get the attention of everyone. but it seemed that everyone was too distracted to give her the attention she needed as the noise was still much.
“Attention everyone I need your attention.” she screamed out.
But still yet it felt like no one was talking as everyone was busy doing one thing or the other.
“Everyone, your attention is needed.” Rayne said out loud and just like magic the noise died down slowly.
“I never asked for your help, you know.” Bianca said with a pretense smile.
“You didn’t need to.” Rayne simply replied.
“I just wanted to inform y’all that you shouldn’t get so close to the pool when you get drunk, to avoid any drowning cases.” Bianca said out loud with her eyes stripping Ryane dead.
If eyes could kill, I bet Rayne would be dead by now.
She got down and walked up to us.
“I see y’all having a good time.” Bianca said, her pretense smile not washing off a bit.
“What do you want Bianca?” Rayne asked as she turned to face Bianca.
“You know sometimes your boldness surprises me.” Bianca said gently.
“Hey, has anyone seen Sarah?” Samatha said as she walked in on us.
Everyone kept quiet while Bianca and Rayne kept staring at each other.
“I just asked a question.” Samatha said out loud.
“I haven’t seen her.” I replied to her.
“you never get to see anything coming or going.” Samatha replied.
I wonder why she kept avoiding and treating me this bad.
I sighed silently.
“Have any of you seen Sarah?” Samatha asked again.
“Go look for her yourself and stop creating a scene.” Elaina said out loud.
Samatha was about to say something when Bianca drew her closer and whispered something to her and then Samatha left without another word.
“Where were we?” Bianca asked as she walked close to Rayne who was standing so close to the pool.
“When will you stop being troublesome and be more mature?” Rayne asked as she took a few steps away from the pool towards Bianca.
“The day you leave my man alone.” Bianca blurted out.
Oh no she didn’t, Rayne seriously has nothing to do with what happened to her and Eric.
“Bianca don’t!!” I half yelled hoping she would listen.
“Can’t you see Rayne, I and Eric were so much Inlove till you came to the picture and spoiled everything. A one night stand started turning into a lifetime for you.. you bloody slut!!” Bianca said out loud and everyone gasped.
“So she sneaked her way into the lawns family.”
“She’s more than a slut indeed.”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Why is Bianca being such a bitch.”
“I think Rayne is speechless.”
I could hear everyone talking about Rayne.
“Shit this was not good at all.” I murmured under my breath.
“That’s not true.” Rayne managed to say.
Bianca walked out without another word leaving Rayne to face the criticism of the others.
“Let’s go.” I said to Rayne while holding her hands and leading her out of the gathering.
