Geoff stood on the edge of the pool. He grinned, watching another kid stumble out from his party, cheering drunkenly. Then a girl stepped into view. Geoff's jaw dropped.

She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, without a doubt. She had long, glossy gold hair pulled into a ponytail. As she turned to face him, he saw her eyes. They were a bright emerald green; no word could do them credit.

She turned to him and said, in a voice that rivaled an angel's. "Hi."

He couldn't breathe. He muttered "Hey," then immediately blushed. She must think he was an idiot!

"What's your name?" she asked, her voice chiming sweetly.

That was too much for poor Geoff. He fainted, and fell backwards into the pool.

Bridgette frowned, a bit confused. "Was it something I said?"
