"Kickin' It In the Summer."
Chapter one;
Today marks the day of June 21st, also known as the first day of summer. Kids throw their failed test grades into the air, clean out their lockers, and say goodbye to torture, and hello to warm paradise.
I for one, am definitely looking forward to summer.
Well, I have a feeling it's going to be great. I mean, my grades improved so I don't have to go to summer school this year, (and in my defense, I would've passed the first time. Stupid algebra)
It just.. it feels good not worrying about school or the cheerleading squad.
Anyway, my best best best friend, Jack, walked out of the boys changing room and I bit my lip. Jackson Brewer. Oh God.
As y'all can tell, I've been in love with him since like forever. We met back in 6th grade when he was new and Frank was giving me a hard time. Being the ninja he was, Jack stood up for me. I've been whipped ever since.
How can I not? His perfect brown hair (mind you that he likes to spend a lot of time on it too), his two little moles under his gorgeous brown orbs, and his abs. STOP IT KIM! Stalker much?
"Hey Kim! Ready for work?" he smiled. I nodded and grabbed my bag. Jack and I worked as lifeguards at the Seaford Pool.
It's a bit noisy, and boring, and there's always a kid eating too much ice cream. It's worth it, though. I get to spend my summer with my best friend.
"Look at them, they're like monsters out there." Rudy, our Sensei, said while whistling and looking outside the windows. He nodded his head at the kids throwing tests into the air, but hey, can't blame 'em right? He went back to watching TV with a huge bowl of popcorn in his lap.
"Uh Rudy, don't you remember it's summer? You're really going to stay inside watching.. Bobby Wasabi and his cat ninjas, volume 4?" I said. Jack chuckled.
Rudy grabbed a handful of popcorn and started chewing. He yelled while having bits of popcorn spit out of his mouth, "I'm old! You guys enjoy the day!" but it sounded like "I'm shold! You guys hmspd spsh day!"
We rolled our eyes and waved goodbye at Rudy before leaving.
Jack and I got at the pool right when Grace's shift ended.
"Thank God." Grace yelled, climbing down the tall lifeguard ladder. I rolled my eyes at her. Grace hates working. I didn't get why she signed up for working in general, her family is loaded. I guess it was to see Jerry every day.
Jack pulled off his shirt, revealing his 6 pack. I couldn't stop starring. Lord give me strength. Grace winked at me, and Jack smirked.
"Like what you see, Kimmy?" he smirk became bigger and I glared at him. "I wasn't starring." I looked away from him, because he can always tell when I'm lying or not.
I pulled off my own shirt to reveal my red one piece bathing suit. It's not the greatest swimwear in the world, but we weren't aloud to wear any two pieces.
Jack looked at me up and down, and when I caught his gaze, he looked at a different direction, shaking his shaggy hair. I blushed red, matching the color of my bathing suit.
I climbed up the lifeguard ladder, and saw Jack on the same identical one, just on the other side of the pool. He winked at me and I rolled my eyes.
"Why don't you ask him out already?" Grace asked. I shook my head. Jack would say no. I could see the scenario. I would ask, he'll say no, we become awkward and boom, my best friend is out of the picture. I wouldn't take the chance. I would rather have Jack my best friend, than nothing at all.
"He likes you, I just know it." Grace said, after me telling her what I just thought in my head. I rolled my eyes at her. Grace can be such a hard-head sometimes.
My walkietalkie beeped and I responded, "Crawford."
"Kimmmmmmmmmmmy, I'm bored."
Sigh. I look at Jack from across the pool with a "seriously?" look. He smiled at me. Ugh, that smile. I just melt when I see it.
"Jack, we're at work. You can't be bored."
He smirked at me and talked back, "You're no fun, Kimmy. But, I can't wait till we go night swimming." Another wink.
I started to blush. After the pool closes, the gang and I all sneak in and go night swimming. There's always a little twist. We play a game and who ever loses has to jump off the diving board naked. I'm always conscience about my body, and everyone teasing me doesn't help either. I haven't been picked before, but I get nervous out of my mind during the game, worried I'll get chosen.
"Me either. It's going to be fun." I smiled at Jack.
The pool wasn't that packed, but it wasn't empty either. I suddenly heard the entrance gate open, and Grace sighed.
"Great. Who invited the sluts?" she whispered to me and I turned to look. There they were. Donna Tobin and her followers.
Donna was in the middle, clad in a golden two piece bathing suit. It barley covered anything, and it looked like undergarments than a bathing suit.
Kelsey was wearing a one piece with a hole in the middle, and Ashley wore something similar to Donna, only a bit less slutty. Donna fixed her top to make sure her boobs were falling out, before walking to Jack. Great.
"Hey Jack." Donna smiled. Jack looked at her for a second before turning back his attention to the pool. "Hey."
"Whatcha doing?" she asked, twirling her hair with her 'perfect manicured nails'. Could this girl get anymore retarded?
Grace and I laughed. We know she can.
"Working." Jack answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. I know he heard us laughing, because he looked at Grace and I with a smirk and started to chuckle. Donna quickly looked (more like glared) at me, then at Jack, then at me, and then back again at Jack.
"Oh, right!" Donna said, giving Jack a huge fake smile. I rolled my eyes.
Jack smiled at me before looking at Donna and saying, "Hate to ruin this nice conversation between us, but I must get back to work."
Donna batted her eyelashes again. God, I just hate when she does that! "It's okay Jackie! I know how much of a hard worker you are!"
Bleh. I feel my food coming up my throat.
Donna and her crew started walking our direction. This will be interesting.
"Kim, Grace." Donna whispered with disgust. "Donna." Grace and I whispered in unison with the same tone she had.
Kelsey and Ashley were looking at us up and down before laughing. I never let them get to me, but Grace is always insecure. Grace kind of hid behind me, looking down on the ground. I decided that I'm not going to let my best friend get hurt by this slut and her minions.
"Hey Donna, I thought you are supposed to wear a real bathing suit." I said smirking, making Grace burst out of laughter. Donna glared at Grace and started to lay on a pool chair.
"Just get me a lemonade." Donna demanded. Ashley rolled her eyes and went to get it. I went back to work. Grace looked at Donna, and then she started to choke herself. I laughed. Grace is always there to make you smile. I loved her for that.
Donna wouldn't stop starring at Jack. Can't she take a hint that he doesn't like her? Because he doesn't like her.. right? I shouldn't be so doubtful, I'm positive he doesn't like her back. Then again, I'm not in charge of who Jack likes. But, let's face it. Who would ever want to go out with that?
Kelsey smirked and whispered to Donna. Donna smiled evilly and set her drink down. She walked over to the pool and pretended to "fall in"
Are you fucking serious?
"Help me! Help!" she yelled, looking at Jack. I rolled my eyes. You can actually cut the amount of fake in herself with a knife. Jack was about to jump in but I yelled, "I got this Jack."
I dived in and managed to get Donna out of the 7 feet side of the pool, where she pretended to be drowning. Fake bitch.
I caught my breath as she sat down on the pool chair again, angry at the fact that I ruined her little plan to seem like she was a damsel in distress..well, she looked like more like a slut who needs better dress.
Hey, that rhymed! Kinda... - Kim 1 Donna 0
"Are you okay?" Jack asked when he ran to us.
"I'm fine Jackie!" she dramatically yelled. "But maybe we should do some CPR, you know, just in case. Like mouth to mouth or whatever." Donna said. I laughed.
Jack looked weirded out, and he awkwardly chuckled. "I think you'll live. Just don't fall in again, okay?" He said with a small smile while he gave her one of our pool towels.
"Okay Jackie, just for you." She batted her eyelashes. I tried my best not to sock her in the face. Jack grabbed my arm and led me away from everyone.
"You okay?" he said, gazing to my now soaking wet body. I blushed at his gaze, but replied to him anyway.
"I'm fine, Jack." I replied with full honesty. "That's what lifeguards do. We save people in the water."
He smiled and nodded. "That was really brave, you know, what you did out there. Saving Donna and stuff." He gave me a hug and I started to blush again.
"It was no big deal, but thanks." I grinned and we stared at each other for a while, but it felt like forever. He smiled at me, and his big brown eyes stared into my plain brown ones. The moment seemed peaceful, and so perfect.
But a few minutes later the perfect moment started to turn into an awkward one.
"We should get back to work." he said awkwardly.
"Y-yeah." I stuttered and climbed up my pool ladder.
He smiled at me and went to his ladder. Grace gave me another wink and Donna wouldn't stop glaring at me. I didn't care one bit, I was still lost in Jack's beautiful eyes.
What if I'm getting all worked up? What if he's just trying to be my friend and he doesn't like me? It's obvious he doesn't. I mean.. we're just friends.
Later that day..
Our shift is finally over. Jack went to make sure the entrance to the pool was locked up. I stayed back with Grace, and we waited for Milton, Jerry, and Eddie to arrive.
"I wonder who is going to be the one who has to dive naked." Grace said. I swallowed. I haven't been chosen yet, and I'm scared shitless.
Grace smirked at me when I didn't respond to her. "Is widdle Kimmy scared?"
I glared at her. "No, but someone is going to get a widdle broken arm if she doesn't shut up." She rolled her eyes and looked around for the rest of the gang. I started to hear ruckus, and I looked at that direction. Jack was walking our way with Milton, Eddie, and Jerry following.
"Boys and Girls," Milton started. Here we go.. "Today marks June 21st, known as the summer solstice. On this day, the sun is at the highest and not very close to the zenith but at an angle of 78 degrees-"
"MILTON." we all yelled. He rolled his eyes. "When you guys get skin cancer from tanning, you will be sorry!"
We ignored him and stripped off our clothes to show off our bathing suits. I changed the one I had earlier. I am now wearing a tie dye two piece which kind of made my boobs look bigger (according to Grace) and I noticed that Jack hasn't stop staring at my chest. I felt flattered but creeped out at the same time, mostly flattered though. I blushed.
"Jack, up here." I pointed to my face and he blushed red. The guys laughed their asses off and Jack tried to play it cool.
"Sorry, Kimmy."
I glared at the nickname but accepted his apology, even if he didn't need to. I wasn't offended or anything, but I wasn't going to tell him that. "S'okay," I eventually said.
"Okay, let's chill at the pool a bit and we can play the game later." Grace said, retrieving from our awkwardness. I mentally thanked her. The boys took turns diving in and Eddie even landed on his belly.
Grace and I just sat down by the edge and talked as our feet were in the water. I noticed that Jack and Jerry weren't around. I was about to go look for them when Grace and I were picked up bridal style.
"WHAT THE F- JACK!" I yelled. Jack chuckled and he ran towards the pool. I had no time to freak out about his muscles being wrapped around me, because he was about to throw me into the pool.
"JACK I SWEAR TO GOD-" I couldn't even finish the sentence. I was thrown into freezing 6 feet deep water. I rose to the surface and glared at Jack. If looks could kill, he'd be in the morgue right now.
I noticed Jerry thrown Grace as well, and when she hit him, he started to yell his Columbian war chant. I got out of the water to chase the demon.
"Jackson Brewer you better run!" I said to him. I ran slowly, considering if I fall I'll probably break all of my teeth. Jack finally surrendered. "I'm sorry Kim. You seemed like you needed a dip."
I glared at him and crossed my arms. I started to walk away. I wasn't mad, but I wanted him to think I was. Serves him right. Jerk. I started to smirk.
"Kim! Come on, I'm sorry!" He ran after me and turned me around. I started to giggle at him. He looked confused for a second and turned around to make sure I wasn't laughing at something behind him.
"You were just mad a second ago." he said, feeling like Jerry in Geometry class. I smirked at him. He finally caught on.
"You're some piece of work Crawford." He says, feeling like an idiot. I giggled a bit. I grabbed a watergun and sprayed him directly in the face.
Jack seemed confused, before he grabbed the other watergun. "Oh, it's on Crawford."
And there we were, back to chasing each other. The gang looked at us in amusement. Suddenly, I didn't see the water hose in front of me. My foot got caught on it and I closed my eyes, bracing myself for impact.
Hm. No impact came.
I opened my eyes to see Jack's biceps wrapped around me. I heard a click but quickly dismissed it. I unraveled from him and he asked if I was okay, with a look of concern.
Oh Jack, always trying to be the hero.
"I'm fine. Thanks for saving me." I smiled and he smiled back. Grace yelled, "Hey, we want to play our game now."
The guys laughed as Jack and I looked at each other awkwardly. I glared at Grace as Jack and I made it into the pool, where everyone else was.
"Time to play and see who's gonna get to dive naked!" Grace yelled evily. I swallowed.
This cannot be good.
So that's chapter one! Hope y'all enjoyed.
COMMENT WHO DO YOU THINK IS GONNA END UP DIVING NAKED. MUHAHAHAHAHA
