Chapter 7:The Pool Party
"Mom! Dad! Are we all ready to go yet?" yelled an anxious Ally.
"Yup, we're just waiting for Natalie to get out of the bathroom." Katie raised her voice mid-sentence, so Natalie could hear her call. A head poked out from the bathroom door.
"One second Mom, okay?" Natalie was almost ready, she just needed to add green and white ribbons to her freshly braided hair. "Okay, all set." Natalie waltzed out of the bathroom looking marvelous. She walked as if she were floating, she looked so graceful. A split-second later Natalie's moment of grace was ruined when she tripped over a pink miniature hairbrush.
"Stupid hairbrush...." Natalie muttered as she kicked the brush aside. She thought of her little incident from the 6th grade, and scowled at the brush.
"Come on! It was time to go five minutes ago! We're going to be late!" screamed an impatient Ally. The Jones family hurried out of the suite and into the blue Chevrolet suburban they had rented for the weekend. The entire drive to the pool, Natalie dreamt of Greg teaching her how to play the guitar. Greg put his hand over hers and helped her play the cords.
"Perfect. Your perfect, Natalie. I love you." said the dream Greg while he leaned in for a kiss. Right when Greg was about to kiss her, Natalie's day-dream was interrupted by her mother's excited voice.
"We're here!" exclaimed Katie. Natalie sighed.
"Right when it was getting to the good part...." she whispered to herself. Ally stepped out of the Chevy suburban right as the Mooneyham's white Nissan Maxima had pulled up. As soon as she got a glimpse of Greg smiling her way, she ran over to the white car where her crush was sitting.
"Hi Greg!" said an unusually peppy Ally. She showed her perfectly straight white teeth in a grin that any guy at Jefferson Middle School would only have dreamed of receiving.
"Hey Alex." Greg said. He didn't seem to be affected by the perfect white smile.
Natalie got out of the car and spotted Ally talking to Greg with that sickeningly flawless smile. Natalie started to run over. While Natalie was busy watching Ally flirting with Greg, she failed to see a speed-bump in her path. Natalie tripped, fell flat on her face, and started to, once again, cry.
"Are you okay?" a familiar voice said. Natalie looked up with her tear- filled eyes. It was Greg. "It looked like you took a bad spill over there."
"Yeah, I guess I just didn't see the speed-bump." Natalie said with a smile. It was right then she realized Greg was exactly who she thought she was and more. He was sweet, charming, respectful, he cared for her, and he made her smile. She knew she was in love with Greg.
Natalie stood up, and stared into Greg's deep brown eyes. She could look at him forever. Natalie's staring was disrupted when Ally strolled over to her and Greg.
"Do you want to get into the pool?" Ally suggested
"Sure, why not?" answered Greg with another one of his adorable, dimpled, grins. "Come on Natalie." said Greg as he put out his hand. Natalie turned as red as a stop sign, as she put her hand into his and walked to the pool. Ally soon saw Danielle, the girl with bright red hair.
"Hey Ally!" Danielle shouted from the shallow end of the pool. She was with a few of other girls and guys that looked about Ally's age.
"Hi." Ally walked over to the shallow end of the pool to meet the group Danielle was with. "I'm Ally."
"I'm Christy Wilson, and this is my twin brother, Bryan ." said a girl with long blonde hair and brown eyes.
"Hi, I like your bathing suit." Bryan blushed immediately when he looked at Ally.
"Thanks!" said Ally as she jumped into the pool. Where is Greg? Ally thought. She looked around and spotted Natalie talking to him. "Sorry guys I have to go, but it was nice to meet you." She immediately swam over to Greg and Natalie.
"Hey guys!" Ally said as she nudged Natalie out of her way.
"Hey, who were they?" Natalie said as she pointed to Danielle, Christy, and Bryan.
"Oh, no one special. Just a few kids I met." Ally said while she kept her eyes glued on Greg.
"They look about your age. Why don't you go hang out with them?" Natalie suggested with an edge to her voice. More than anything she wanted to be alone with Greg right now.
"No, that's perfectly alright. I'll just stay right here." Ally was not going to give up without a fight. Suddenly Bryan swam over.
"Hey Ally, I was wondering if you wanted to come play Marco Polo with us." Bryan blushed again.
"She would LOVE to." Natalie said before Ally could answer. Before Ally could say no, Bryan had grabbed her by the hand and brought her over to the other side of the pool.
"So, Greg. What do you like to do? I mean besides playing guitar and stuff like that." Natalie was still obviously nervous around him. Greg started to laugh. Oh no! He's laughing at me! Natalie's heart sank.
"I like to read, watch TV, hang out with my friends. Pretty much the same things you like to do." Greg said with a certain happiness in his voice. He liked Natalie a lot, and he wished he had the confidence to tell her. He thought the "reunion concert" that the reunited band was going to play tomorrow. It was the perfect opportunity for him to ask Natalie out, now all he had to do was have the courage to ask her out.
"I heard you play guitar too." Greg said as he thought about how beautiful Natalie really was.
"Yeah, but I'm not any good. I can only play basic songs, nothing really exciting." Natalie said modestly.
"Well, um, maybe I could give you lessons." said Greg quietly.
"That would be great. Are you busy after the party?" Natalie felt a sudden jolt of excitement. Was her fantasy coming true? Did Greg just ask her out? This was the best day of her life!
"No, I'm not. Are you staying at the Double Tree?" Greg said with a little more confidence.
"Yeah! We're in room 523. What room are you guys in?" Natalie was eager to hear his answer.
"214. Do you want to come to our room at about 5:00?" Now Greg was the excited one.
"Sure. It's a date." Natalie covered her mouth with her left hand. Had she just said 'It's a date'?? Oh God! "Oh my God. I'm sorry, I meant like the expression not......" Greg cut her off.
"That's okay. Don't worry about it. So, I'll see you at five?"
"Yeah, sounds great." Natalie heart was melting. She was going on a date/ guitar lesson with Greg Mooneyham. Could life get any better? ...................................................................................
Ally stood in the pool, dumbfounded. She had heard the entire conversation between Natalie and Greg. Ally knew one thing, and that was that Natalie wouldn't make it to that guitar lesson, but someone else would.
