Hey everyone! Here's the second chapter in my series of one-shots! My goal is to get to 100, or the very least 50. Any ideas are welcome, because I only have 2 or 3 left. This takes place in the Summoning. Its where on the swimming fieldtrip everyone went (even Derek!) and the crawlspace scene happened another time.

Chloe POV
Today I would be going on my first fieldtrip since arriving here. Everyone would be going, whether we liked it or not. And apparently Derek didn't. "Do I need to go?' Derek asked Ms. Talbot. She sighed," Derek, I'm sorry but you have to go. Besides, don't you want to be able to get out and get some proper exercise?" Derek just glowered, and then walked away. "OK kids, you have ten minutes then we need to be out the door." Everyone scraped away from the breakfast table then went to go gather their things.
Ten minutes later, we were piling into two vans. I was in here with Simon, Derek, and Tori. It was silent the whole car ride. We arrived at the pool 10 minutes later. We all went into our respective change rooms. I pulled on my red frilled bikini, then frowned. My aunt bought this for me, and I didn't like how I looked in it. The actual swimsuit was gorgeous, just not on me. All it did was show how little chest I had, and my next-to-none curves. I sighed, then grabbed my stuff and shoved it into a cubbyhole.
Tori walked out of her change room, turned around, then started to laugh. I frowned, "What's so funny?" She gasped for breath," You're a flat chested toothpick!" I turned around and walked out of the change room into the pool. I bumped right into Simon. He started to smile, then saw my tear filled eyes. "What's wrong?" he asked, voice filled with concern. I wiped my eyes, "Tori just made a mean comment. I'm fine now." I tried for a smile. I looked over his shoulder, and noticed someone was missing. "Where's Derek?" Simon smiled. "Stalling coming out to the pool." He chuckled. All of a sudden Derek came out, causing me to jump. "You're too skittish." Derek grumbled. Rae joined us, and we walked to the pool. Suddenly a lifeguard called out, "No shirts in the pool!" We all pointedly looked at Derek. Grumbling, he walked to his cubbyhole, and pulled off his shirt. Tori gasped, Rae was bug eyed, and I gaped, while Simon just sighed and jumped in the pool. Derek looked uncomfortable. I snapped my jaw shut, and jumped in the pool to cover my embarrassment.
After that fiasco, we all sort of just hung out, swimming and talking. Tori went off on her own, then came back to flirt with Simon. Tori turned to me, "Chloe, did you get that swimsuit from the children's section, because no adult bikini has a top for anyone as flat chested as you." My cheeks flamed as I tried not to cry in front of her." Get a life Tori." Her cheeks flamed. Rae suddenly brightened. "Who wants to see who can do the coolest diving board trick?" We nodded, Derek shrugged. "Which diving board?" She pointed to the tallest one, about 15 feet from the surface of the pool. We decided who would go. First Simon, Rae, me, Tori, then Derek. Simon went, pulling off a flip. "amateur!" Rae shouted. She did a triple flip. My turn. I decided on a backflip. I took a deep breath, then jumped. I flipped, then felt an explosion of pain just above my eyebrow, then everything went black.
My head felt like knifes were being repeatedly stabbed into my forehead. I opened my eyes, and saw Simons worried face. He smiled, noticing I was awake. He hugged me. "W-What happened?" I asked. "You tried to do a backflip, but hit your head on the diving board. Lucky for you Derek reacted fast and pulled you out." I looked at Derek, looking slightly uncomfortable. "Thank you Derek." He let a small smile creep onto his face, then wiped it away." After that we got ice for my forehead and we got changed. The nurses were upset, but happy I only had a slight bump.
