After the initial shock of finding me wet, the girls and Andrew went into an even bigger shock to see Ash laughing like that.

Oh, I was not amused in the slightest way. He was laughing like this on purpose.

"You really love water don't you?" he choked out still laughing.

I ignored him. Everyone was still looking at Ash with slightly open mouths.
Violet took hold of my shoulders, making sure I don't bitch slap Ash next and lead me inside the house. If I had known I will find the whole swim team here I would have done a 180 and gone back to my house to change first.

Courtesy of the paint incident I did not have an article of spare clothing and Vi had suggested that we should go to my home first and get me changed first but had I listened? NO

uh uh, I had thought that I could dry out here in Diya's garden or borrow something from her.

Little did I know that I would receive a nasty surprise when I reach her home.

***

I was in Diya's room worst of water was dry but it was still damp so Diya threatened her brother and got me one of his white button-down and black sweatpants.

Ughh I wish Diya was more close to my size, she was nowhere even near.

Her brother's clothes were super baggy. Like it felt as if anytime the sweatpants would leave my waist and fall down. Well, at least the shirt was long enough to provide cover if that happened.

Anyway, later Diya put on a slim black belt around my waist right over the shirt and waistband of sweatpants that it would not fall off anymore at least.
The only downside was that this outfit looked like a bad case of DIY.

Okay so here is what happened. Violet took me to the gas station and got out to get gas, told me to get some Nachos and dips and coke for a party that I thought would be just for Diya, Vi and me.

I went to the store and bought what I needed but unfortunately I was encountered with Zoe who let's just say was not thrilled that I 'stole' her position and one of the besties (the mean girl cronies I referred to earlier). Apparently she had only lost one of them cause the other one-handed her this big ass bottle of water. And before I could understand her motive both of them started pouring water on me till I was drenched.

I don't know what came over me but I slapped her so badly that her eyes watered up and she had a really red handprint on her face and two scratches where my nails had connected her cheek.

She ran away crying and Violet who had just witnessed me slapping Zoe suddenly grabbed me before I could get hold of the other girl who was standing there stupidly with her mouth hanging open.

"Are you really that much of an idiot?" Violet had said.

And she still stood there gaping.

"LEAVE!!" Violet growled still clutching on to me.

That somehow got through her thick skull and she ran away.
Violet dragged me to my car and I stopped my struggle to kill those bitches.

She bought me here without complaining after I told her to drive straight to Diya's place and she just looked nervous all the time.

Now I know why. Cause they had prepared a fucking party for me becoming the caption.

'Your friends meant well and now shut the fuck up and enjoy this damn party' my subconscious supplied very kindly.

***

I am going to kill Ash.

Okay so maybe my thoughts had stayed murderous even after my subconscious tried to ease me up.

Oh yeah, I have not introduced my subconscious till now, have I?

'Shut up Rose. I can introduce myself.'

No, you shut up. So this is my subconscious Dunkers. He pipes up usually when I don't want him to.

'Aww, you hurt me.'

I said shut up.

Anyways the moment I stepped out in the garden and went near the pool where everyone was gathered talking, I found out that Diya owned a dog the hard way.

This dog came up running to me and put his front paws on my thighs and when Diya told him to back off. He backed off alright but my sweatpants went below my belt (no hoops, you know) and well these sweatpants decided to leave my waist as dreaded. Oh yeah, that's exactly what happened.

And as a cherry on top, I staggered cause let's face it you can't actually take a step back when your pants are down and I fell directly into the pool which was just behind me.

Why God why. Why the hell does these water drenching, soul damaging, heartbreaking, liquid induced accidents happen to me.

As soon as I fell in everyone started laughing. Diya and Andrew were sitting on the ground or more like rolling on the grass laughing, Vi stood at the pool edge face-palming herself, and Ash was grinning as if he just had the best idea in that head of his. Okay, change that 'idea' with a super evil mischievous plan.

I am saying this because his eyes lit up, his lips formed a smirk and his eyes connected with mine and he threw back his head and laughed the evil laugh.

And before I knew it, he was running towards the pool, his hands tugged his yellow shirt right from his head instead of opening the buttons and threw it away in a way that it landed on the garden swing and then he jumped.

Yoohoo good people, we have crossed 250 views *Ash's evil smirk*. Ohh I love you all. I love it that so many people are reading this book, I mean it feels just like it was yesterday that I was at 3 views and begging my bestie to read this book and vote on it. Hahaha, I forced her to download wattpad *snickering*.

Anyways so do you think this was a worthy cliffhanger, oh and mind you I am accelerating the things just a bit between Rose and Ash in the next chapter.

Oh also the idea of inserting Dunkers came from this movie I was watching today 'Tall Girl' it's an awesome movie. I watched it and thought that everyone should have a Dunkers in their lives but since Rose already has Ash I decided to give her a subconscious like Dunkers hehe.

Okay I will stop now

So I hope you like the chapter.
