"what's good?" roy shook my hand, and i awkwardly smiled.

ashtray hasn't arrived yet, so i made sure to sit on the couch, closest to the door.

"uh, we're waiting on ashtray.. and then we can do whatever." victoria told him, the two sitting together.

"ashtray? that one drug dealer?" roy asked, and i turned to him, squinting my eyes. "he's not a drug dealer." i lied.

"i bought from him before." roy said, laughing lowly.

"oh. well, yeah." i nodded, and victoria smiled a little.

"y'all dating?" roy asked, and i quickly shook my head no. "oh, well, he seems like a chill guy." he said, and then finally stopped talking.

i let out a breathe or relief when i heard a knock on the door, and i quickly stood up, walking over to it. "hi." i greeted ashtray, and he gave me a small nod, before stepping into the house.

i watched his eyebrows furrow when he saw roy sitting on the couch, while roy on the other hand, stopped up and walked over to him. "what's good, man? i haven't seen you in awhile." they dabbed each other up.

"yeah." was all ashtray said, and i quietly chuckled to myself, ashtrays short reply's were kinda funny to me.

he turned to me, like he was waiting for me to tell him what we were doing or where to go, so i gently grabbed his wrist and lead him over to the couch, where victoria and roy were already sitting, having a full conversation.

i hated the awkward silence between ashtray and i, and luckily, just as i was about to turn to him and make some sort of conversation, he leaned down to my ear. "are they dating?"

i turned to the two, seeing victoria with a wide smile on her face, and roy's same, cocky attitude. "not yet." i answered, turning back to him.

he nodded, and slowly put his arm behind me, it was on the couch, but it was sort of around me too, and it made me nervous, and to try and ease my nerves, i talked. "do you want to swim?"

since my head was turned to the side, i saw him furrow his eyebrows, and look at me like i was stupid. "it's December?.."

i shrugged, "it could be fun." i mocked victoria, but his expression still stayed. "is that why you told me to bring extra clothes?" and i replied with a nod.

just as he opened his mouth to speak again, probably what i assume to be a 'no' i turned to victoria, who was already looking at me. "wanna swim?" i spoke out loud, and roy turned to me, before shrugging. "i'm down."

i turned back to ashtray with a smile, and he groaned. "i'm going to beat your ass if i get sick." he said, as i was already pulling him up from the couch and to victoria's back door. "yeah, yeah."

my face turned to shock at roy quickly took of his shirt and jumped in the pool, before letting out a loud 'woo!' and laughing, and then telling victoria to jump in.

she gave me a look, before sighing, and jumping in. i watch the two laugh together, and victoria get closer to him, probably to try and get warmer. my bold act dropped, and i turned to ashtray with a nervous look. "well... uh, are you gonna go?" i asked.

he laughed, "are you?" crossing his arms.

"yeah.. just, you should go first." i nodded, but he shook his head, "nope."

i rolled my eyes, "at the same time?..." but again, he shook his head. i knew he would probably back out the second i was in the pool, which is why i was scared to go.

"alright.." i inched closer to the pool, hearing ashtrays laugh behind me.

"come on!"
"pussy!"
victoria and roy yelled at me, making me groan, and pause. "is it cold?"

"obviously." vic responded in a 'duh' tone, and i shook my head. "alright! i'm going." i huffed, and turned to ashtray who sarcastically gave me a thumbs up, and i just went for it.

the second i came back, above water, i heard roy and victoria's laugh, and saw ashtray still standing in the same spot, a small smile on his face.

"it's your turn." i told him, going to lean on the wall.

"nah, im good." he chuckled, walking closer to me.

i knew it.

"please!" i said, and he again, shook his head.

since he had already took his shoes of before coming outside, i thought to myself, before looking back up at him with an idea. "okay, come here." i told him, and he took a step closer.

i stuck my arm out, "help me." i said, and his hand quickly dropped. "i'm not fucking stupid, val."

i laughed a little, "no, i'm serious! i'm not going to pull you in." i told him, and he gave me an unsure look, before grabbing my hand.

i struggled, putting my other hand on his arm to quickly pull him in, and laughed before backing up.

"oh!" roy yelled, followed by a laugh.

"valerie." ashtray said, wiping the water off of his face the second he came back up.

i laughed, and stepped closer again. "you'll be fine, tough guy."

he rolled his eyes, and then wrapped his arms around my waist in a swift movement, it caught me off guard, but i eased in his arms quickly.

"it's cold." i said, talking out of nervousness.

"yeah, no shit." he said, speaking kind of low since he was right behind me.

"so, are you sick?" i asked ash, the four of us all changed and now sitting on victoria's couch watching a random movie on netflix.

"not yet." he said, making me chuckle.

i looked over at victoria and roy, the two cuddling. "have the fucked yet?" ashtray asked, making me whip my head back around to him. "ashtray! she's fourteen."

"okay?... they seem like they've fucked." he shrugged, and i turned back to the two. "they do, don't they?"
