All Alone (Book 1)(All 14 Ghost Bird)

Chapter 10

        Marc and I made our way behind Nathan into his house dripping water all over his floor. 

       "Sorry Nathan." I apologize  as Nathan shook his head.

     "It's okay Sang, it's not your fault." He shot a look over at Marc who ignored Nathans stare and began walking away from us into the kitchen. "There's a bathroom over there, I'll be back with the shorts." He eyed me up and down.  "Would you like another shirt?" I look at my soaked shirt blushed and slowly nodded. I made my way to the bathroom trying to not to slip. 

      I lock the door behind me. Letting out a breath I slowly took off my clothes. As I slipped off my shirt I get a good luck at myself and the mirror and cringe. I look awful. My skin is pale with dark circles around my eyes.  It wasn't long after I heard a quick knock on the door. 

    "Hey Sang here's the shorts." I unlock the door an inch and slip my hand outside. He gently placed the clothes over my palm. "The shirts gonna be a little big on you. Hope that's ok." I nod even though he wouldn't be able to see me. 

    "Thank you Nathan." I brought the clothes inside.

    "Sang mind handing me your wet clothes? I can throw them into the dryer." I smile at that and grab my wet clothes and give them to him. I close the door slowly and threw on his shirt. Immediately the fragrance of leather and cypress  hits my nose. I look at myself and the mirror and smile as I quickly slipped on the shorts. I can't believe I met more friends! I shivered at the thought of my parents finding out that I was alone swimming with two random boys.

     I step out of the bathroom and began to make my way back to the pool where I saw their frames sitting next to the pool talking. I straighten my back, walking towards them before slipping in a puddle of water I didn't see. 

    I let out a small yip as I crashed into my right side, hitting my funny bone in the process, sticking my landing my with a loud crash. 

    I scrambled to get up hoping the guys didn't hear, but they were there in seconds. 

   "Sang Oh my gosh are you okay?" Marc helped steady me.

   "What happened?" Nathan was right next to me when he saw the bruises on my left hip. "Jesus, how hard did you fall?"  Looking down at my exposed bruise I quickly covered it up.

    "That was from a few days ago, I fell." Marc stifled a laugh. 

     "How did you get gravity so mad at ya?" I shake my head laughing at Marc's comment.

      "I don't know!" I quickly regain my balance. "I'm fine guys, really." Nathan didn't seem convinced. "Please!" I smile at him. 

      "Yeah come on Sang!" Marc grabbed my hand and ran out of the house into the pool with me right behind him. "Jump!" He said as we ran straight into the pool. We broke the surface and I still felt his hand wrapped strongly around mine. I couldn't help but blush. Was this normal for friends? Nathan came out seconds later diving into the pool. 

      "Hey sang who do you think could win in a race me or Nathan?" Marc asked as he floated on his back. I shrug. 

     "Hmm. I'm not sure." I smiled at them. "Are you gonna race!?" I asked wanting to see them swim. 

    "Oh bring it? on old man!" Nathan swam to the edge of the pool as I made my way to the end of the pool. "First one to high five Sang wins." 

     "Bet." Marc smirked and turned to me and mouthed 'Just watch'. I tilt my head confused but kept watching.

    "Get ready," I said slowly. "Get set...GO!" I yelled and Nathan took off before Marc grabbed his feet and yanked him back as he used the wall to launch himself forward. He swam as quickly as he could to me high five as Nathan swam to Marc before splashing water at him.
