Rylie's POV

We get on each other's shoulders again, except this time Luke and Michael switched.

Luke was a scrawnier kid and I wasn't sure if I was too much for him to carry.

"Are you sure you're okay with holding me?" I ask.

"Yeah, why not?" He asks, holding onto my calves.

Neptune and I pushed each other and it was definitely unfair because Michael and her were both taller than me and Luke.

I realized that pushing them back would do nothing due to the height difference.

I grabbed her hands and pushed her to the side which was making her tip, but somehow I was still first to fall in.

The water cooled my body as I flew in and watched the bubbles fly up around me.

I reached for the floor with my feet but merely scraped my foot on the wall.

Now this was not good.

I can't swim. In all honesty. 15 years old and can't swim. Yeah I know, it's dumb.

I flail my arms and legs around and all I can see are tiny bubbles until someone is picking me up and lifting me out of the pool.

I cough a bunch and I'm sat down on the edge of the pool.

Sitting next to me is Calum, rubbing my back.

"Hey are you okay?" He asks.

"Yeah," I cough, "I'm fine. I just got a little shooken. That's it"

I look up to see Michael on Ashton's shoulders and Neptune on Luke's.

A new round of chicken fight had begun.

She mouthed an, "Are you okay?" And I nodded.

"Do you need anything?" Calum asks.

"Uh no. Do you wanna play chicken fight?" I ask.

"Sure, I don't see why not." He shrugs.

Calum had a nice body. I had to admit, it was probably better than everyone else's here but it didn't really mean much to me.

Even if I thought I was a little pudgy, I wouldn't be difficult for Calum to carry.

I hopped on his shoulders, and he grabbed my ankles and we waited for the new round to begin.

"3...2...1!" Ashton yells and we're all pushing each other again.

First off is Neptune.

Now it was me against Michael.

"Dude, just be nice let her win." Ashton said after a while of us pushing.

I shoved Michael and he went splashing into the water.

"I didn't actually mean it I was just trying to sound nice!" Ashton laughs.

Michael wipes the water from his face.

"I didn't let her win." He said.

"Yeah, I'm just a champion." I say.

Calum takes me off of his shoulders and puts me down outside of the pool.

I hear faint music playing.

I gasp.

"ICE CREAM!" I yell and rush to the street.

"RYLIE WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Calum yells.

I pull my wallet out of my shorts that were laying on the ground.

I pull out a $20 "note" as they call it.

I stop the ice cream truck and begin to examine the menu.

"Hello what would you like?" The man asks.

"Hi, sorry I need just a moment." I say.

The man nods.

I sense a presence next to me and I turn to see Ashton.

"Hey." I say and turn to examine the menu again.

"I want this one." He says pointing at a power puff girl one.

"Okay."

"Can I have a Spongebob pop, a War Heads push popsicle, a strawberry E'Claire popsicle, an ice cream sandwich and a chocolate lovers drumstick please?" I ask "Oh, and a power puff girl."

The guy goes to get the ice cream.

Ashton pulls some money out of his trunks.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Getting out my money" he says.

"You're not paying, I am." I say.

"I'm not letting you pay you're a guest." He argues.

"I don't care if I'm a guest I'm buying the fricking popsicle." I say.

"Did you just say fricking?" He asks.

The guy comes back with our ice cream and Ashton reaches out to hand him the money but I shove him and hand the guy my money and taking the ice cream.

I run to the backyard nearly dropping everything when my feet are met with a large tree root.

I set all of the ice cream down on the table and I see Ashton running over

"RYLIE TAKE MY FUCKING MONEY!" He yells and I jump into the pool, the shallow end this time.

Everyone is laughing at our banter.

I hope out and grab my ice cream. I take the chocolate lovers drumstick.

Luke takes the warheads one.

Calum gets the Spongebob one, which Michael whines about.

Michael ends up getting an ice cream sandwich.

Neptune gets the strawberry E'Claire.

Ashton takes the power puff girls one just like he said he would.

Ashton, Luke, Michael and Neptune all sit down at the patio table.

"You guys took all of the seats." Calum pouts about as we both walk over to the table.

"Only the cool people get to sit here. Go sit on the floor." Luke jokes.

We both go and sit by the pool, kicking our feet in the water.

We take the wrappers off and set them to the side.

"How did you know the spongebob one was my favorite?" Calum says.

I shrug.

"How come you got regular ice cream. You should've gotten this." he says.

"I like my own ice cream." I say.

"But the spongebob one tastes like Sprite and sherbet ice cream. And it has gum ball eyes and it's...its...ITS SPONGEBOB!" He argues.

"I know" I laugh.

He pushes his ice cream in my face.

"Try some." he says, "Pleeeeeeeeease. You'll like it."

I lick the ice cream.

"Yeah it's really good." I say, then going back to my own ice cream.

"I told you!" He yells.

We're both left a laughing mess with our legs drizzled with melted ice cream.
