"Never have I ever fell for one of my Art history classmates," Julie called out. Everyone except Julie had to drink. Simon had never been good at holding his alcohol, the party earlier in the semester had been a good example of that, which was why after having to drink so many times he was flat out drunk.

Three hours before

Simon, George, Beatriz, and Julie went to Julie's house so they could work on their project. As Simon looked around the fancy and luxurious house he was hardly surprised. Julie liked reminding people that she was an heiress of a company whenever she could, so it was obvious her family was loaded. Julie had security guards around the grounds of her house, butlers, maids, and even a few chefs. Simon wondered what it was like to live such a laid back life.

Simon continued to look around the house until he heard Julie call out to him. Everyone else was on their way to the living room while Simon was still near the entrance of the house. When Simon walked into the living room he took another look around and saw that the living room was probably the size of his entire apartment. There were three plus sized couches and a few chairs scattered across the room all pointing towards the seventy-inch flat screen TV.

Simon opted to sit on the same couch as George while Beatriz and Julie both brought chairs over to sit across from them. Julie also moved one of the coffee tables in between them so that they could set their books and other school supplies down.

"So," Simon started. "What artist should we make the presentation about?"

"How about One Direction?" Julie suggested.

"I want to do the presentation about Michael Jackson, the dude had some moves," George stated.

"I can't really think of an artist right now," Beatriz said.

Simon sighed loudly, this was just what he was afraid of happening, "Okay those are not the type of artists that I was talking about. For example artists we could write about would be painters. How about we use Picasso or Da Vinci?"

"I've never heard of them, they must not have any popular songs," Julie remarked.

"They don't sing songs, they were famous painters!" Simon exclaimed. "Drop this whole music idea, that is the wrong idea entirely."

"You know I'm not really feeling this, why don't we go swimming in my pool?" Julie queried. George and Beatriz both nodded their heads in agreement. "Great, I had some swimsuits picked out for you guys already hopefully the sizes are correct." Simon wished he had been in a two person group with Clary. If he and Clary were paired together they would surely earn an A, but the way it was looking his group was in trouble. Simon figured there was no point struggling against Julie, he would never be allowed to have his way anyway.

Simon went into the bathroom and changed into the swimsuit Julie had picked out for him. The pair that Julie picked was navy blue, which was Simon's favorite color. Julie's had a strong sense of fashion, which is why it was not surprising that he liked the swim trunks.

Simon walked out the back door and saw that the pool was in ground. He had never been in an in ground pool before, because they cost too much money to maintain so not too many people had one. Simon then looked over to where the others were: George was wearing similar trunks except they were red, Julie was wearing a revealing pink bikini, and Beatriz was wearing a white bikini. Simon had to take a breath as he saw Beatriz, while Julie on one hand had the figure of a barbie doll Beatriz on the other hand was fairly well endowed. Simon quickly looked away from Beatriz and looked back at the pool.

"Wow Simon I thought you would have some stomach flab, but your stomach is actually toned," Julie pointed out.

Simon was confused as to how to reply so he simply answered, "Uh, thanks I think?"

"Okay group picture time," Julie declared. Begrudgingly Simon smiled for the camera as Julie took a selfie with her selfie stick. Of course, she was one of those girls who would have one of those.

Jace looked up as he heard his phone go off and reached for it. It was another photo from Julie on Instagram nothing special, he was starting to lock his phone when he saw someone familiar. Was that Simon? There was no way he was hanging out with Julie and her friends. They were all in swimsuits too?

Jace realized that Izzy had Julie on Instagram too, so she would see this. He hurried to her room and opened the door and saw that her back was turned to him and her phone was in her hand. Izzy turned towards Jace and he saw the tears streaming down her face. This was the first time that Jace was speechless, he had no idea what to say to cheer her up.

George and Julie both laid down on lawn chairs and tried to tan, due to this Simon and Beatriz were alone. 'Do you want to swim then?" Simon asked.

"Sure, but I am not a very strong swimmer," Beatriz clarified.

"That's fine everyone is bad at something," Simon comforted. Simon then walked down the steps into the pool and Beatriz followed him. "How about we swim back and forth across the pool, that's easy enough right?" Beatriz nodded her head in agreement. "Alright then ready, set, go!" Simon was off to the races swimming as fast as he could, he touched the other end of the pool and then made his way back to the side of the pool he started on and touched the wall. Simon looked up after he finished and saw that Beatriz had yet to reach the first end of the pool, let alone turn around and make it back. Simon swam back to where she was and by the time he got there she reached the wall.

"See, I told you I was bad, you swam down and back and then down again in the time that I swam down," Beatriz pouted.

"It's fine, why don't you swim back? I'll keep the same pace as you." Simon insisted. Beatriz started to swim and Simon matched her pace, things were going pretty well until they made it halfway across the pool. All of a sudden Beatriz stopped swimming. "What's wrong?"

"Foot cramp!" Beatriz yelled. Before Simon could process what she meant, Beatriz sank underwater. Simon's body reacted on it's own as he dove in after her and pulled her up. Beatriz clung to him tightly with her hands interlocked behind his neck. Simon also felt something pressing soft pressing into his chest, when he looked down he saw what it was and immediately looked back up at her face. This was definitely the first time that Simon had made it to second base but he was trying very hard not to think about that, at the moment he had to swim well enough to keep both him and Beatriz above water. He looked over to where Julie was and called out for help. Julie rushed over and just when Simon thought she was going to help them, she took another picture.

"What are you doing? Help us!" Simon shouted. The two of them were about to drown and Julie was too busy taking pictures to help them survive. Simon was about to give up hope when he heard a splash, apparently George had realized what was happening because he had jumped in the water to help them.

A few minutes later after a lot of work Simon, George, and Beatriz were all sitting comfortably on solid ground. Simon was almost tempted to kiss the ground, which he had seen people do on TV before when they thought they were going to die but somehow survived.

Jace phone buzzed again and he picked it up immediately. He figured it would be another post from Julie and sure enough it was, this time it was a picture of Simon and Beatriz holding each other while swimming and the caption said, "Love in the water." Jace was about to check if Izzy had received that message as well, when he heard a large crash come from her room. It was official, she had already seen the photo. Instead of trying to comfort Izzy he decided to call Clary to find out what was happening.

After a few rings she picked up, "Hello? Jace? Did you need something?"

"Actually I did, I was wondering what was going on with Simon," Jace replied.

"What do you mean?" Clary inquired.

"Do you know what he is doing right now?" Jace questioned.

"He is studying with his group," Clary answered. "Why do you ask?"

"Are you sure about that? It doesn't look that way to me," Jace commented.

"Are you going to tell me what you mean or am I going to keep answering the same question? Simon left to work with his group," Clary reiterated.

"Take a look at Julie's Instagram and tell me what you think then," Jace proposed. Jace could hear Clary shuffling around as she tried to find Julie's Instagram.

"What is this? This doesn't look like studying to me," Clary said. "I'll find out what's happening and get back to you later." With that Clary hung up. So, even Clary had no idea that Simon was having a pool party with two of the most popular girls in school? Just what is Simon up to anyway?

Beatriz was finally starting to get closer to Simon. While it wasn't planned, what happened at the pool had definitely a start. Beatriz was humming happily whenever she heard a phone ringing as she rummaged around she saw that it was Simon's phone and he had a call from Clary. Beatriz quickly turned his phone off and put it back before Simon came inside, the last thing she wanted was Simon leaving early.

Simon had dried off and changed into his day clothes and was about to suggest they start working when Julie cut in, "Why don't we play a game of never have I ever? My parents have beer set aside for me to use with my friends, so don't worry about getting in trouble."

(Back to the beginning of the chapter)

Simon knew who he had fallen for, but who in that class had George and Beatriz fallen for? Maybe George liked Izzy or Julie or Beatriz? Beatriz on the other hand might like George or Jace? He tried not to think too hard about.

"Alright never have I ever slept with someone," Beatriz chimed in. This round only Julie and Simon drank. Everyone's heads turned when they saw that Simon drank however.

"Wait Simon you're not a virgin?" Julie asked in disbelief.

Simon realized he had misunderstood the phrasing of the sentence, he was already very drunk so he reasoning was pretty shoddy at the moment. "Oh you meant sleep with in that way. Then no, I have fallen asleep with a few girls before, but not in that way."

"A few girls? Since when were you a ladies man?" Julie questioned.

"Well I slept together with Clary many times since we have been friends forever, it happened with the other girl the last time I was drunk but nothing happened." Simon clarified. It was Simon's turn to come up with something. "Never have I ever dated anyone." This time only Julie drank. Simon looked to George who looked rather embarrassed, then Simon looked over at Beatriz and saw that she looked just as embarrassed if not more. How had these two popular people never dated before? Simon had no idea what to think, he thought all popular people had dated at least once before.

"I guess it's my turn then, never have I ever kissed someone," George stated. Again Simon and Julie drank. Simon was at a loss for words. They hadn't even kissed anyone? They were college students already!

While Simon and Julie were hammered, Beatriz and George had only had to drink on a few occasions. The world started spinning and then everything went black.

This was the perfect chance for Beatriz George was in the bathroom and both Simon and Julie were passed out. Just one kiss, that was all she wanted. She pushed her hair to the side and slowly leaned in to kiss Simon, but she stopped when she heard George say, "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

"George," Beatriz started. "When did you get back?"

"Look I can tell that you like him, but kissing a sleeping person isn't cool. He can't give consent or tell you no if he's asleep. If you don't have the courage to kiss him when he is awake then you shouldn't be trying to kiss him in his sleep." George lectured.

"Yeah, you are right. I should have thought before acting, I wouldn't like it if someone kissed me in my sleep," Beatriz agreed.

"Exactly, anyway Simon's a nice guy I would hate for someone to take advantage of him." George replied. Beatriz took George's words to heart as she fell asleep.
