Public swimming pool..

[Soumya]

Lici looked around to see who was there. She saw Layton sitting on a chair a few spots away from her. she saw a girl dive into the pool.

[Soumya]

Lici saw Layton looking at her.

[Just Plain Ray, Oh yes I know that something bad is gonna change.]

Rayana saw a girl looking at Layton, looking at her. ((akward silence...))

[Allie]

Dillon laughed, shaking his hair from his eyes. "Excellent." He said with a grin. She blushed and grinned back at her friend. Her friend. She really, truly had a friend.
Charlotte waved. "Hi Nathan." she said with a smile, glancing quickly at Bella Rose. Her smile broadened and she ducked under water for a moment to hide it.

[[deleted user]]

Layton looked away,embarassed
Lotus waved at Lici and waved her over mouthing "Come on!" she smiled kindly.
Layton gave his twin an angry look which she ignored.

[Felicity/Rosestar]

Just then, Bella burst out from the water, splashing anyone ho was too close.

[Soumya]

Lici saw a girl wave to her to come over. She walked over to them. " Hi," She said.

[Just Plain Ray, Oh yes I know that something bad is gonna change.]

"I guess I better be going. See you around Lotus!" and she nodded in agknowledgment to Layton and headed to leave. Maybe she would pay Jess a visit.

[Allie]

Dillon's eyes slid away to Sarah, and they lit up. Sarah turned and saw Cassie entering the pool. Dillon waved wildly. "Hi Cassie!" he called, and she hid a smile, swimming over to say hi to Charlotte.

[Allie]

"Eek!" Charlotte laughed, splashing Bella Rose back. Sarah, coming to close was also soaked, but just blinked in surprise.

[C'est Moi ♪]

"Hey Charlotte," Nathan grinned, his hair shining golden in the sun. He looked at her smile, quizzical. "What? Are you smirking?"

[[deleted user]]

"Bye Rayana." The twins said, at the same time.
Lotus turned back to Lici "Hey!" she said brightly, motioning Lici to sit down.Lotus exmained Lici closely, like she always did with new people.
Layton shrunk down in his chair and blushed deeply.

[Just Plain Ray, Oh yes I know that something bad is gonna change.]

Rayana laughed on her way out. They really were twins!((do u mind if zack comes?))

[Felicity/Rosestar]

Bella Rose laughed and lay her back for less than a second to relax. She flipped back to her normal state and treaded water.

[Allie]

"Maybe." Charlotte said mysteriously. "Oh! Hi Sarah! I didn't see you here! I love your bathing suit!"
Sarah blushed. "Hi Lottie. Thanks. I like yours too." She looked at Charlotte's bright yellow bikini and wondered how much it had cost.

[Soumya]

Lici sat down hestitantly. She blushed when Lotus examined her carefully.

[Felicity/Rosestar]

"Now I feel out of place," Bella laughed, looking down at her light blue tankini.

[C'est Moi ♪]

Nathan rolled his eyes at Charlotte, treading in the water and shaking his head.

[Allie]

Dillon grinned at Cassie. "What's up?" he asked.

[Felicity/Rosestar]

"Hey your sis here?" Bella Rose asked Nathan, "Or are you alone?"

[Just Plain Ray, Oh yes I know that something bad is gonna change.]

Zack rode past the public pool. He saw Lotus, Layton, and Lici. Lotus was staring at Lici. Maybe he would say hi.

[Allie]

Charlotte stuck her tongue at at Nathan and blinked at Bella Rose. "Why?" she asked in confusion.

[Felicity/Rosestar]

"You all have bikinis that are ten times hotter than my boring tankini," she answered, still in a happy mood.

[Soumya]

" This is a little embarressing," Lici muttered to herself.

[C'est Moi ♪]

"My sis is at the beach, actually," Nathan said, blinking water from his eyes. "She's...I have no idea what the heck she'd be doing right now. Natalie is pretty unpredictable sometimes." He sighed, staying afloat in the water easily.

[[deleted user]]

"Im Lotus and you dont have to be embarassed." Lotus said, reading her mind slightly (could you say what shes thinking?)
Layton stood up "Im going to get a drink, want anything?" he asked the girls.
Lotus smiled "Um yeh,i'd like a cola please, Lay." she said to her brother."We can get to know each other!" she whispered to Lici.
Layton waited for Lici to say if she wanted anything.

[Just Plain Ray, Oh yes I know that something bad is gonna change.]

Zack walked into the public pool after parking his motorcycle. He felt strangely out of place, but nonetheless. He went to sit next Lici.
"Hey. Mind if I sit here?"he asked

[Allie]

"You look hot in anything." Charlotte said. "Sarah is wearing a tankini too." she pointed, and Sarah blushed immediately at the attention Charlotte unknowingly brought to her.

[Soumya]

(sure.) " No thanks," Lici said. She wondered why Lotus was examining her so closely and carefully.

[Just Plain Ray, Oh yes I know that something bad is gonna change.]

((do u mind that zack is here? or should i kick him out? btw, is abby on?))

[Allie]

"Meh." he said. "Nuthin. I just came here cuz Johnny wasn't answering his phone. Now I'm glad I did." he said with a quick smile, the corners of his eyes crinkling.

[Felicity/Rosestar]

"Thanks Charlotte," Bella Rose gave her friend a hug. Then she turned to Nathan, "That good actually. I never see you alone." she blushed a little.

[Soumya]

Lici saw Zack, " No. You can sit there. Hi"

[Soumya]

((i don't mind.))

[Just Plain Ray, Oh yes I know that something bad is gonna change.]

"Hey Lotus. Where'd your brother go? I just saw him here a second ago" he said taking his gaze from Lici to Lotus who was still examining Lici.

[C'est Moi ♪]

"Yeah, I know huh?" Nathan grinned crookedly. "It's pretty rare, but it happens."

[Felicity/Rosestar]

"I kind of like it," Bella answered, "Nice smile by the way."

[Soumya]

" he went to get drinks. Anyway, why is she examining me?" She asked him in a wisper.

[[deleted user]]

Layton gave Zack a mean look and then walked off to the cold drinks bar.
Lotus didnt feel like she should be nice to Zack, so she ignored him and smiled at Lici "Im examining you because I want to see why my brother likes you so much." she said truthfully, like always."Dont be freaked." she added.

[Allie]

Dillon raised his brows in delight. "Really? Wow, I can't remember the last time he went on a date without his mom." he laughed, joking.

[Allie]

Charlotte grabbed Sarah's dark hand in her pale one and pulled her away. "Come on, I'll buy you a soda." she announced, leaving Bella with Nathan.

[Soumya]

" He likes me?" Lici said in a questioning way.

[Just Plain Ray, Oh yes I know that something bad is gonna change.]

((omg! why is lotus so mean! *sobs* oh well, i'll have to deal with it. I also thought layton and zack were best friends, but that could happen after they fight or whatev...ohhh know i realize why lotus is ignorin zack, cuz rayana ran away from him!))

[Felicity/Rosestar]

Bella barely noticed her friends leave the area.

[C'est Moi ♪]

"Thanks," Nathan said, a bit surprised but slightly smiling again at the compliment. He paused to think. "Which reminds me. You have to bake those cookies again for us sometime."

[[deleted user]]

Lotus's hand flew to her mouth but she covered it up with an innocent smile."Yes he'd hasnt got that much friends here but he'd like to have a friend and he instantly trusted you." she replied, lying for the 3rd time in her life.

[Allie]

Dillon burst into laughter. "It's okay." he laughed. "That was freaking hiliarious."

[Soumya]

" Why don't you stay?" Lici asked.

[[deleted user]]

(Shes not mean!! she just trusts her instincts and is calm and kind!)

[Felicity/Rosestar]

"Welcome," Bella Rose answered. She couldn't think of anything else to say.
