And You Thought
It Couldn't Get Worse

I frowned into the mirror, "I don't want to go to school today. Maybe I'll get suddenly ill and not have to go today." I walk over to shower and turn on the hot water; nothing comes out. "I hate this town." I turned around and yelled through the open doorway, "Aaaangeeeeeeel! Did you use all the water?!!"
My annoying twin brother grinned at me through the doorway. "Maybe. I'll go fix it." He ran outside.
I sighed. "Oh welllooks like it'll be another wonderful Monday." I stared in shock as the water came out of the faucet. "We have water!!"
"That was the point, Anjel dear."
Dang, he's back. "Gee thanks brother." I managed to sound cheerful. "Now go away!!"
"I'm going, I'm going." He shut the door behind him carefully. "Don't take a year long shower this timeI don't want to be late to school." He yelled back.
"Oh you're one to talk. If you'd get up on time for once" I mumbled. Throwing off the towel, I quickly jumped under the warm stream of water. After getting clean, I turned off the now cold water. I closed my eyes, and wrung out my hair. Reaching for the towel, I realized I was surrounded by very cold water. I opened my eyes quickly. "Oh dear. I'm some how in the middle of a lake, this can't be good. It's probably Angel's fault."

"I'm going to the lake guys!! Anyone else want to join me?" Cye yelled over his shoulder.
"No! We have lives!!" Ryo yelled back.
"Wouldn't it be better if you just stayed here and cooked?" Kento asked.
Cye sighed. "Call me if you need me." He grabbed his blanket and a towel, and ran down to the lake. Humming to himself, he spread the blanket out. "Ah, alone at last. Relaxation, maybe then I can deal with Kento when I get back." He threw his towel on the blanket and walked towards the lake, then blinked. "Is that that wasn't there beforewhen did she appear? What's she muttering anyway?" While he studied the girl, she fainted. "Dang! So much for a relaxing day at the lake. Why do I get the feeling I'm going to have to save this girl as much as we have to save Yuli?" He sighed, then dove into the lake.
He grabbed onto the blonde curls, trying to get a grip on her. He finally found her arm, and pulled her toward shore. He picked up the unconscious form and gently put her on his blanket. He carefully wrapped the sleeping blonde in the soft folds of his quilt, and carried her back to the house.
"I'm going to go swimming with you next time, if this is what you find!" Kento exclaimed.
"Where do you want me to put her?" Cye asked ignoring the looks of the guys.
"With the other one I suppose" Mia answered.
"The other one?!!" Cye was shocked.
