Chapter Four (4)

“Is someone embarrassed?” I asked and continued with my story, “Well, I agreed. Three months later he was hooking up with some ho at a party, I found out. The rest is history.”

“Well this is awkward,” Olivia commented.

“How?” I asked.

“We're roommates, you and Keith are exes, and Keith and I are currently dating,” she explained. My mouth dropped open wide, but then I closed it.

“It's okay, I'm over this loser. I've got other guys to occupy my time,” I said, dismissing the subject.

“Well, we were going to the beach before you decided to pass out. It's still early and we can still go, I'll go see who can still go,” Olivia smiled.

“Sorry...” I said meekly. Keith remained quiet.

“Keith, can you get them?” she asked. He nodded and walked away. When he was gone she turned to me and smiled warily.

“I don't have to worry about you guys getting back together, do I?” she asked.

I shook my head quickly. “He's dead to me. Don't worry,” I assured her.

“Well, you and I should get our swimwear out,” she said, running to the closet and disappeared in there. I went to my unpacked suitcases and tried to remember which one had my swim stuff. I sat there staring at my bags for a minute as if I had X-ray vision. Then I finally decided to look around, luckily for me the first suitcase I looked at had my bright red tankini. I couldn't reveal too much.

Olivia came out an ivory bikini, putting her hands up and twirling around. “Brava,” I applauded.

“Merci. Here,” she tossed me a white sundress, while she kept the white one. “What're these for?” I asked, eying my curiously.

“You honestly want to go outside with your tankini displaying everything?” she asked, slipping her dress over her head.

“Good point,” I grinned, finally putting on the dress. Keith knocked on the door then entered after that.

“Everyone's ready to go,” he said.

Olivia smiled at me, grabbed my hand and ran out with me just like last time. “Okay, I didn't have time to introduce you last time.” she said. Then she pointed at a girl with dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. “This is Catherine.” she told me. Catherine gave me a grin and two thumbs up. “That's Daniel,” Olivia motioned over to a tanned, muscled, blonde hair blue-eyed god looking boy. He gave me a head nod. I'd have to make it a personal goal to speak to him later.

“This is Gina.” she said, looking at a brown haired, brown eyed girl in the corner. “Last one is Liam. Stay clear of him, he's a jerk.” Olivia said loudly making sure Liam heard her. Liam looked like he was here to revive his life or something. He looked like a young Taylor Launter.

“Is that all?” I asked, tired of the introductions.

“Yep. You already know me and Keith,” she nodded.

“To the beach!” Catherine yelled, running to the car hurriedly.

Everyone ran after her expect for me and Daniel. He walked alongside to me and I thanked the man upstairs.

“So, what's your name again?” he asked me. His voice was like music to my ears.

“Alexandra. Call me Alex,” I told him, smiling softly.

“Nice name. So why are you here?” he asked. He didn't say it rudely or anything, just like he was genuinely curious.

“Oh, just stuff. Don't like talking about it,” I said. Keith turned around from in front of us and glanced at me and Daniel back and forth, I couldn't help but smirk back at him. He turned back to face front and something inside me clicked. Obviously God was giving me a chance for something I've wanted for a year, why he brought me to this specific school. He was giving me a chance for vengeance.
