Chapter 11: The Sun's So Hot I Forgot To Go Home

"Hey," Tyler said seeing Janet walk into the party, "Have you seen Kelly?"

"She's probably with my boyfriend," Janet said. "What exactly is it about that girl?" Tyler looked.

"I find it interesting that you had sex with Scooter Vanderbilt after one night," Tyler said. Janet crossed her arms, "What is it about that guy?" An idea dawned on her and she smiled.

"You want to have sex with me?" She asked. Kelly wanted to steal her boyfriends, she would simply steal them right back. Tyler looked at her. "Scooter and I sort of broke up you know." She kissed him.

"I'm still with Kelly though," He whispered, if only as a formality. She shrugged pulling close. Tyler was sort of dull, but he was cute and she'd be getting back at Kelly. Tyler moved down her neck. "I'm not breaking up with her."

"I don't want you too," She shook her head and laughing pulled him in to one of the bedrooms.

"Cassie," Rick said finding her dancing on one of the tables, "Can we talk?"

"What?" She laughed, jumping down, "What's to talk about? I was just kidding before. Dance with me Ricky."

"Are you OK?" He looked at her. "You seem,"

"I just got a little boost," She giggled, putting her arms around his neck, "Do you want some?" She reached into her pocket and pulled out the baggie.

"When did you start doing coke?" He asked.

"When did you get so boring?" She rolled her eyes and stomped away. He sighed sat down.

"I'm worried about her too," Allie leaned over and plopped on his lap. He looked at the little blonde. "You know she's fucking her dealer too."

"Really?" He said. Allie nodded. "That's kinda gross."

"That's what I said," She giggled. "What did you do to her today?"

"We went skinny dipping," He said. Allie frowned. That skank! Cassie knew she wanted Rick! Just friends her ass!

"Oh," Allie said standing up. "I should really go check on her." She ran off.

"Smooth Riley," Rick sighed picking up a half empty drinking, "Chase away the two hottest girls in your class. Way to go."

Janet groaned kissing Tyler over and over on a bed. Now that she wasn't a virgin anymore just sleeping with someone didn't seem like such a big deal. She liked Tyler, they were hot for one another, that was the important part. She pulled him down, falling onto her back and giggled as he kissed her neck.

"Maybe we should wait a little bit," Tyler whispered. She looked up at him.

"What?" She laughed, "Why?"

"Kelly said she was coming back," He shrugged, "Maybe the three of us," Janet sat up and shook her head.

"I'm not having a threesome with you and Kelly Riley," She snorted, "And I know she'd never do it. I mean, does she even let you touch her boobs?" Tyler looked down. "Enjoy you Ice Princess, don't get frost bite." She stood up and walked out. The problem was now she was horny. She walked up to a senior who'd hit on her repeatedly. "Hey," She smiled.

"Well hello," He smiled, "How are you?"

"Not good," She sighed, and pouted, "But I think you could help." He nodded.

"How so?" He asked. She smiled and moved closer and walked her fingers up his chest while sliding her other hand down. "Mm, yes, I think I could help with that." She laughed. "You're Janet right? You're a sophomore."

"Mm hm," She nodded and kissed him. "Come on," She pulled him back into a different empty room.

Kelly walked easily along the beach her feet brushing in the water. Scooter looked at her sad little face. He didn't know what to do for her. The Rileys had been good for him since he moved out to Minnesota, so he felt some sort of obligation to Kelly. She was so sweet and caring and innocent he couldn't help wanting to be around her.

"So what happened with Janet?" Kelly spoke first. He sighed and looked down. "You don't have to, I mean, if you don't want to."

"No," He said, "I do want to talk about it." He stopped, "She wanted it to be something it wasn't."

"And that would be?" Kelly looked at him.

"Serious," He said. She looked at him.

"But you slept with her," She said.

"I sleep with lots of girls Kelly," He looked at her. She nodded. "You knew that?"

"Yeah, a lot of it happens under my bedroom window." She laughed and they kept walking. "Then why did you say,"

"Kelly," He said, "I'm always sure I want to. And my first time, it was really special." She nodded. "So, I showed my hand. Time for you to be vulnerable and embarrassing."

"Rick, Jimmy and I slept together on Christmas Eve," She said. He looked at her. "None of could sleep in our own beds, because we missed her so much." She closed her eyes, "I miss her so much, Scooter, that sometimes, I think I'm going to be really happy ever again."

"But I've seen you," He said. She looked at him. "Be happy. Right before you went to the gala, and anytime you're with Jimmy." She smiled and nodded. "I bet she misses you too."

"It's going to be hard to go home," She sighed, breathing in the warm air. "To snow and ice, and wind for four more months at least."

"Maybe I'll take you away," He teased. She looked at him. "In the winter, my brothers keep our boat in the Florida Keys." She smiled.

"I'd like to see your boat someday," She said. "You always talk about it."

"About her," Scooter corrected.

"About her," Kelly nodded. She sighed and looked out over the water. He looked at her, thinking about what she said earlier, about the thought of them together. He'd fantasized about Kelly, but he'd fantasized about every pretty girl he'd ever met. Besides, Kelly was untouchable, pure, perfect. This was partially because of her extreme beauty and delicateness, but also because of her relationship to him. You didn't touch your best friends little sister, because she might as well be your little sister.

"Kelly," He said softly, she looked at him. "Do you want to go swimming?"

"Now?" She laughed.

"Sure," He shrugged, "The sun's about to come up, it'll be fun." She smiled and nodded pulling her tank top off and revealing a blue tankini, the dropped her simple jean skirt next and pulled his shirt off. They ran out and dove under the placid gulf waters. She giggled and started to swim back to shore, "Get back here." He pulled her close. "Kelly."

"Scooter," She whispered their faces close. He enjoyed the way her body was trembling. He kissed her. "Scooter." This time her voice was more echoey and further away. He shook his head and snapped back to reality. Kelly looked at him. "Where'd you go?"

"No where," He said, "We should probably get back."

"Sure," She nodded. In her mind she was already rolling around in the waves, him pressing her down to the sand with deep hard kisses. It was a strange vision but one that she found oddly comforting. They didn't say anything on the walk back. "Thanks for listening," She hugged him as they reached the hotel.

"Sure," He smiled. "Go find Tyler, don't waste your whole night huh?"

"Scooter, um," She swallowed, "Boys tend to not be there. Even just when they're friends, even when they're brothers, and,"

"I'll always be here Kelly," He assured her. "Whenever you need me." She smiled and went inside. He shook his head and sat on the beach, thinking of the swimming fantasy again.

"Hey baby," Tyler said as Kelly got back into the party. "Where you disappear to?"

"Just went for a walk on the beach," She shrugged, "Cleared my head."

"I missed you," He smiled. She kissed him.

"I love you Ty," She said softly.

"I love you too, Kel," He whispered. "If you want to wait, we can." She smiled.

"Thank you," She smiled and they kissed. He smiled, he'd pushed Janet to Scooter Vanderbilt because he pushed to hard. He wasn't going to make the same mistake with Kelly.

"Mm," Cassie grunted as Allie thrust open the curtains, the next morning, "Al, could you not? I partied really hard last night."

"Yeah, I sort of noticed," Allie said coldly.

"Did I do something to you?" Cassie looked at her.

"You went skinny dipping with Rick," Allie said. Cassie sighed and leaned back. "You know I like him Cassie!"

"Allie, I was high!" Cassie said, "We were just fooling around, like I always do with Rick and Cole!"

"Like you always are lately," Allie retorted. Cassie looked at her. "Look, you know I'm always up for a good party, but with you lately," She sighed. "And you're sleeping with Ron."

"Slept with," Cassie said, "One time. Who cares?"

"I guess no one cares if you're going to be a coke whore." Allie stood up and stomped out. Cassie sighed and lay back pulling her cover over her head as Allie slammed the door.

"Ow," Cassie groaned. She hadn't been high when she'd kissed Rick. When she was high was the only time she didn't think about kissing Rick.

"Where were you last night?" Rick asked Scooter.

"Just hanging out," Scooter shrugged, "Broke up with Janet, she hooked up with a senior baseball player."

"That was quick," Rick laughed. Scooter nodded. "You OK?"

"Yeah, whatever," Scooter said. "How you doing man? Kelly said Christmas was tough."

"I'm OK," Rick said, "Cassie got me through it, but she's been weird." Rick sighed. "I don't know man. I'll glad to get back to school, to the game."

"The game makes everything easier," Scooter nodded.

"Yeah," Rick said. "Plus it's way too hot down here."
