EPILOGUE

--Zigzag--

"You ready?" I asked Jackie as I lowered my body down closer to hers. As my skin came into contact with hers, she took a deep breath and nodded.

"Yeah," she breathed, "I'm ready." I nodded and with a low grunt pushed forward. Jackie shrieked and threw her hands up in the air as we went zipping down the slide. We hit the water with a giant 'splash' and when we surfaced Jackie spit a mouthful of water in my face.

"See that wasn't so bad," I said, teasing her about her previous fear of using the water slide for the Yelnats' new pool. She rolled her eyes at me, her hair floating around her in ripples.

"Hey, God never meant for us to travel at such break neck speeds into water," she said defensively. I rolled my eyes as we neared the steps and splashed her in the face. For a second the look of surprise on her face was priceless. Then her eyes narrowed and she smirked.

"You are so dead," she threatened. I laughed, jumping out of the pool, with her hot on my heals. We skidded around the water's edge Jackie always right behind me.

"Guy's no running near the pool," Squid yelled from his floating bed in the middle of the pool. He had sunglasses on his face and a drink in his hand.

"Yeah, you're splashin me," Magnet complained as we passed him. Jackie laughed as she tripped and fell into my back. I reached out and wrapped my arms around her exposed middle. Hoisting her over my shoulder I tickled her sides before tossing her into the pool. Thoroughly soaking Squid. Jackie screamed the entire time.

"Come on everybody," Mrs. Yelnats yelled, making us all turn to her. I crouched down by the pool to pull Jackie out just as the woman came to stand by me. "The commercials about to start! Hurry, hurry!"

I grabbed Jackie and hauled her up out of the pool. The rest of the guys were already starting to hurry inside, grabbing towels as they went. Jackie and I slipped around the edge of the pool o the way to the back door.

"I need a towel," Jackie said turning. I grabbed her around the waist and kept shuffling to Caveman's new house.

"No time," I laughed as she slipped through my hold. We slid into the Yelnats' living room and started scouting for a spot. The couch was totally occupied and all chairs were filled. The commercial started and Jackie huffed, pulling me down to the floor near the foot of the couch. She moved onto my lap and we both fell silent to watch the commercial.

A year ago I never would've thought any of this was possibly. Twelve months ago I was getting busted for setting my school on fire and now I was sitting in one of the biggest houses I'd ever seen, surrounded by my friends and Clyde Livingston, and with my hot girlfriend sitting on my lap in a tiny bikini. This was like a crazy dream I never wanted to end.

The commercial ended and everyone cheered, but me. I was lost in my own thoughts. Jackie leaned against me and I bent my head over her shoulder to kiss her neck.

"What're you thinking about?" she breathed into my ear making me shiver. I shook my head, making water droplets fall onto her flat belly.

"Nothing," I sighed happily. Jackie chuckled and leaned away from me slightly so she could look me in the eyes. She smiled knowingly and raised an eyebrow at me.

"Some summer, huh?" she said lowly, as everyone started moving back out to the pool.

I smiled, shaking my head again. "You have no idea." I leaned and kissed her softly on the mouth. Jacqueline Rivers had single handedly made this the best summer of my life, and if given the chance I'd live it all over again. Right from the beginning.
