**Sang**

I'm walking through the field of roses with Victor, I no longer see the nine. He tries to tell me something but his voice gets lost to the wind. He lets go of my hand and starts to walk backwards, "Victor?" I ask. He says something else that I can't hear, the wind raging on around us, ripping the flowers from their place. "Victor!" I scream. "Come to me Princess." He says. I try to move but find I am unable; he's still moving backwards. "Come to me." "Victor!" I cry, "Victor don't leave!" "Princess..." "Please! Victor!" Victor is blown away by the wind and I'm left alone, crying and sobbing his name in the middle of the windstorm. "Victor..."

I awake in my room, tangled in my blankets. At least I didn't wake Kayli this time. The dream leaves me with an uneasy feeling, I don't want Victor to leave me, he said he'd be my friend. He kissed me he wouldn't leave...would he? I try and shake off the dream as I notice the time. Nathan should be here soon to take me swimming, I can't let him see how shaken I am. I get up and gather my things for a quick shower, I don't bother washing my hair since it'll get chlorine in it later. Just as I'm finished getting ready there's a knock on the door that wakes Kayli.

"Where are you going?" She asks me.

"Nathan's taking me swimming."

"There's a pool here? I'll have to ask Corey to take me sometime."

"You can come with us." I suggest.

"No, that's ok. You go have fun on your date."

"It's not a date." I tell her while opening the door.

"Sure it's not. Keep her safe Nathan!"

"Always." Nathan says, "Ready to go?" he asks me.

"Ready." I tell him with a smile.

**Nathan**

When I pick Sang up from her room she was wearing a deep red cover up. I may not have told her my favorite color yet, but I'm still gonna think she wore it just for me. Hey for all I know she could have super-secret favorite color knowing powers or something. I figured it be easier for me to just ask her and find out.

"Hey Sang, did you know my favorite color is red?" This really adorable blush crosses her cheeks when she replied.

"I could kinda tell." Then she giggled, oh that giggle. It's like the sweetest kind of music.

"How's that?" I asked her.

She raised her perfect little eyebrow and tilted her head to look at me, then said "Oh, just a hunch." and blessed me with another giggle.

I took a moment to look down at myself and saw my red and black sneakers with my red and black swim trunks and my red t-shirt. Then I remembered when I met her yesterday and realized I was wearing pretty much the same thing then too.

"Haha ok I see your point. Come on, let's get to the pool."

When we arrived, the place was deserted. I loved times like this, an empty pool with a beautiful girl; life was looking good. Sang kicked off her sandals while I took off my sneakers and socks. Just as I was standing back up, I caught Sang grabbing the bottom of her cover up (which she did wear for me) to pull it over her head and reveal the sexiest little bikini I have ever seen. It was black with pink polka dots on the top, the bottom, a normal black bikini with a pink skirt attached to it. She looked amazing but I knew I had to stop looking before my thoughts turned from innocent and playful to guilty and lustful.

To reign in what would clearly become a problem, I walked over to Sang, picked her up, and jumped in the pool with her, shirt and all. She was a good sport about it, immediately laughing once we resurfaced, and splashed me mercilessly.

Sang and I were having a great time, I haven't had this much fun since I stopped swimming in my own pool back home. They guys would come over and we'd always have a good time, but somehow the excitement of it all just died. With Sang, I felt like I got some of that excitement back again. We were currently on our fifth race; we were racing for favors and I currently held all four. There was no way I wasn't gonna cash in the chance to spend more time with her, that's probably all I'd use them for anyway. I decided four favors was plenty and let her win this round, although by the look on her face I'm pretty sure she knows I let her win.

"Nathan! You let me win didn't you?" she asks me, her voice getting all squeaky when she raised it too high.

"What makes you say that?" I ask innocently.

"You just won the last four!" she says in a huff, crossing her arms, making those gorgeous breast stick out just a bit more.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no perv, but when you have perfection like that in front of you, you'd have to be daft not to take a quick look. Her tits looked like just the perfect size, not small, but not overly large either. They fit her body shape, all nice and snug in her black and pink bikini top. I could stare at her for hours, but then that really would make me a perv.

"Which obviously made me too tired to win this one." I tell her, still feigning innocence while trying to get my mind off of her body; which is pretty difficult to do considering we're the only ones in the pool. Maybe this would be easier if she were wearing a one piece.

She's giggling at my expense just when the door to the pool opens and in walks Victor.

"Hey Princess," he greets her, "I've got your phone." he tells her while holding up a white plastic bag.

"Hi Victor, thank you so much." she tells him while swimming over closer to his side of the pool and using the ladder to climb out.

How she can make getting out of the pool from behind look that sexy I have no idea, but that's exactly what she does. I stop swimming just to watch her, she puts her feet on the middle rungs of the ladder and brings herself in close while holding on to the handles. Then she lets her head fall back a little while pulling herself up and stepping out. The movement completely fluid, and over in the blink of an eye. I can tell Victor's thoughts are similar to mine by the blush rising on his cheeks. Sang then goes over to the stack of towels and wraps one around her body.

Once she's covered up and I'm no longer sporting a major hard on, I swim the rest of the way to where she took her exit, but instead of using the ladder, I push myself up off the lip of the pool next to it. That was a really bad idea, there must have been a piece of metal sticking out or something because one minute I'm in the pool and decent; next thing I know I'm pulling my feet out of the water and don't see my shorts. It's a good thing I didn't fully stand yet or this could get really embarrassing. Luckily Sang is drying her hair off with another towel and hanging her head upside down so she hasn't seen me yet. The same can't be said for Victor, as soon as he catches sight of my bare legs, he looks into the pool and starts laughing so loud, you'd think his life depended on it. This caught Sang's attention and she quickly looks up just as I dive back in the pool. I turn back around to look at her and notice she's looking past me with that adorable blush again, but this time her hands are covering her mouth like she trying to keep something in. I turn around to see what she's looking at and see my swim trunks floating in the middle of the pool all on their own. Victor's still laughing and Sang has been struck speechless, so I do the only thing I can do in this situation; I swim over to my trunks, put them back on, and carefully get out of the pool like nothing even happened.

**Sang**

I hear Victor start to laugh and quickly look up to see what's going on. As I look towards the pool I get a flash of Nathans bare butt while he's diving back in. I look to the center of the pool where his trunks now float all on their own, and am struck speechless. I quickly cover my mouth with my hands to stop the giggles that I know are going to be coming any second. How on earth his shorts ended up there I'll never know.

Nathan quickly recovers and swims over to his trunks to put them on like the whole thing never happened.

"So Vic, what brings you here?" he asks Victor. By now Victor has composed himself long enough to answer.

"Just came to bring Princess her new phone, thought we could hang out after you guys finish swimming. You're more than welcome to join us."

Just then my stomach lets out an unearthly grumble.

"Sounds like lunch is on you Vic." Nathan says while laughing.

"Victor you don't have to- "

"Please Princess, I want to. Why don't we all head back to the dorm so you guys can get changed and then we'll head to the café. I can show you how to work your phone when we get there Princess."

"Ok." I agree reluctantly, "Thank you Victor." By now Nathan has joined us on our side of the pool and quickly dries himself off and tossed the towel in a large hamper.

"Yea, thanks Vic." He says while slapping Victors back.

"Your welcome Princess." Victor tells me as I pull back on my cover-up and toss the towels into the hamper.

Back at the dorms we decide to meet back at my room in 30 minutes. I quickly go in my room to grab my things to take a shower and prey there's an empty stall. Once I get to the bathroom I get lucky and see that one has just opened up. Quickly showering and rinsing the chlorine out of my hair I decide to save washing it for tomorrow.

When I get back to the room Kayli is still gone. She left a note on her desk saying that she was in Corey and Marc's room and to text her if I need anything. Below is her new phone number. I quickly get dressed in a pair of blue jean shorts and a pink tank top, then throw my hair in a clip. I'm just picking up Kayli's note to put in my pocket when there's a knock on the door.

Opening it I smile seeing Nathan, Kota, and Victor. Kota and Victor are wearing light blue jeans and t-shirts, Kota's is a hunter green and Victor's is white. Nathan is wearing light blue jean shorts with a white and red t-shirt.

"Hey Princess, ready to go?" Victor asks me.

"Yes, all ready." I close the door and lock it behind me and follow the boys to the café.

We spend a few hours just talking and eating, getting to know each other better. I learn that Kota's favorite color is green, and that he used to live with his mom and little sister, Erica, and Jessica; that he has a dog name Max, and that he is a majoring in Biology with a minor in Political Science. Nathan is a Kinesiology major with a minor in Health Promotion, he loves physical activities, and he is a black belt in Jujitsu. I learned that Victor was a child piano prodigy but never really enjoyed playing for people who weren't really listening, that he doesn't mind spending his money on his friends (which now includes me), and that his favorite color is silver; he also majors in Instrumental Music Education and minors in Musical Therapy. He says that he doesn't mind playing for those with a passion for music and I made him promise to let me hear him play sometime.

I tell them a little about what my life was like back in Illinois, about my sister and parents, skipping over all the bad parts. I tell them that I speak Russian and Greek as well as knowing sign language, they don't judge me being a lonely child. Victor shows me how to work my new phone, unbelievably he got me the new IPhone, and they all input their numbers, then I put Kayli's number in my phone, sending her a text to let her know it's me. Victor tells me that Kayli has the newest Samsung Galaxy.

After a while I notice the time and excuse myself to finish up some homework. They all walk me back to my room with the promises of a goodnight text. Kota asks if it would be ok to give Silas my number since he was really worried about me after Friday. I tell him it's fine and that I'll see him and Victor in class the next day. Today turned out to be a pretty good day.
