AN: To everyone reading this chapter… I'm SOOOOOOO sorry it's been so long! I got really lazy, and… I really have no excuse.
Kyoya: No, you don't.
Evelyn: Yeah, you left me stranded here!
Me: I'm sorry! TT_TT Anyways, I got so many reviews, I think I might take even longer to write this if I try to respond to them. But everyone that reviewed, YOU'RE AMAZING!Without you people I'd probably just let this story slip away. Anyways, if anyone even still reads this, ON WITH THE STORY!
Evelyn POV
That little devil hit me with a squirt gun! He opened and closed his mouth like a gaping fish, though no sound came out. I was pretty pissed, why the heck did he do that? I took a step back, preparing to get leverage to rush at him, take his squirt gun and shoot him back. When I realized that there was no ground under my foot. I was stepping backwards off the deep end of the pool! A scream ripped out of my mouth as I plunged backwards into the cool water. Of course this would be fine if oh, I don't know, I could actually swim! I lashed out in the water, trying to reach the surface. Bubbles streamed by me as I screamed underwater in my panic, managing to swallow water as well. I didn't want to die by drowning!
Suddenly, there was a splash above me, and a pair of lean arms encircled me. I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping that this wasn't a hallucination. My head broke the surface of the water and I gasped, gagging and choking on the water I'd previously swallowed. I was so preoccupied breathing that I didn't realize my savior was carrying me out of the water. I turned my head to catch a glimpse of raven hair. Ah, Mori must've saved me. He was so kind to everyone. Kaoru's concerned face appeared in front of me.
"Evelyn, I'm so sorry! I really didn't mean to squirt you, I was aiming for Tamaki!" Tamaki started shouting at him, but he was ignored as Kaoru continued his worried rambling. "… And I really didn't think you'd fall in the pool like that! Good thing Kyoya was sitting so close he could save you—"
"What?" I cried, jumping out of 'Mori's' arms. Or at least I thought it was Mori. It couldn't be Kyoya! I whipped around to see a dripping wet Kyoya in only his swim trunks, without glasses. "Why'd you save me?" I cried. He blinked once, giving me an odd look.
"Why wouldn't I?" He replied, puzzled. "Did you expect someone else?"
Kyoya POV
Evelyn paused, and then shook her head in confusion.
"You hate me, don't you? Why would someone that hates me jump into a pool after me?" If I was drinking water, I would've spit it out. She thought I hated her? Why would she think that?
"Who said I hated you?" I asked, still in shock. She shrugged.
"Well, you're always giving me these odd looks, like you're plotting ways to destroy me or something!" Tamaki laughed, coming over to me.
"That's how he looks to everyone, Evelyn!" She shrugged. Perhaps she thought I was a psychopath. Perhaps I was. Hikaru and Kaoru approached her with a squirt gun, offering to invite her into their game. Evelyn shook her head.
"I would, but I don't want to get the cover up wet, and…" She looked down at herself, apparently noticing for the first time that both her shirt and shorts had come off in her struggle not to drown. "Where's my cover-up?" Evelyn screeched. As much as it made me feel like a pervert to admit, she really did look good in the swimsuit the twins chose for her.
"It must've fallen off in the water!" Hikaru grinned. "So you can play in the water fight with us!" Kaoru finished. I felt that odd feeling that I refused to admit was jealousy boil up in me again. They shouldn't be looking at herb like that! Evelyn sighed, accepting the squirt gun.
"But we need teams, you guys can be on a team but I need one other team member. Hey, wanna play Tamaki?" Evelyn called. He agreed once the twins started harassing Haruhi. I walked over to the tree I was leaning against and glared at the twins from behind my black book. Especially Kaoru. I was feeling 'jealous,' and it was his entire fault! I picked up my pencil, flipped to the page about Evelyn, and added, next to her name, 'can't swim.'
Tamaki POV
Those sneaky twins, they were making passes at Haruhi again! Of course that will get me to join in on their strange water-fights. Although, it seems that Kaoru isn't being as sneaky as Hikaru lately… He seems more interested in Evelyn these days. And the whole Kyoya thing was weird, too! He would never bother to rescue someone that fell in a pool before, so why now with Evelyn…? A blast of water hit my side.
"Darn you Hikaru!" I cried, pumping my squirt gun and sending a blast of water back at him. Somehow it missed! But he must pay for interrupting my important thoughts! I smiled in satisfaction as Kaoru whined about getting a blast in the face from Evelyn. She certainly was good at water-gun fights! Which was strange, with how she avoided the water earlier… Could she not swim? I'd have to ask Kyoya, he knew everything. But when I looked back at Kyoya my blood ran cold. He was glaring the worst glare possible from behind his stalker book, glaring straight at Kaoru. He had been doing that quite a lot lately… Maybe they shared an interest in Evelyn? But if so, obviously only one of them could win her heart… But who?
AN: I know this was pathetically short, but at least it's an update! Once again, I'm so sorry it took so long! And I really couldn't have done it without my amazing awesome wonderful reviewers! I'll be changing the title to 'Day and Night,' so if anyone has any complaints you might want to state them before I update again! I hope to have a steady schedule of updating once a week, every Sunday maybe? But I'll probably update sooner if I get inspiration. But next Sunday is the bare minimum for my next update. I promise. So, even though I don't deserve this, RATE&REVIEW! Even though it sucked, I hope you liked it! Bye!
