Her house was only a few streets down. It was actually one of the least busy streets I had seen so far and the house looked almost like my old house. Two floors, long and red. In the back was a huge inground pool and a big trampoline. Most people would be exited to see such a nice big pool, but not me. Actually I didn't even know how to swim. I know it's sad for a 16 year old to not know how to swim, but I never had a pool. We only had a little brook ankle deep.
I walk up to the door and ring the doorbell. I hear footsteps walking down the stairs and soon followed by Lindsey opening the door.
"Hey!" she says pulling me inside. "the bathroom is right down the hall. Go change and meet us in the backyard."
I change quickly and walk into the backyard with my towel in my hand. I'm wearing a hot pink bikini with my long strait brown hair falling just above my elbows. Everybody is in the pool. Some of them look at me for a minute and wave then go back to swimming. Most of them are familiar faces exept for a taller boy in the back. He's with a bunch of other older boys in the back. He has short blonde hair and big brown eyes.
"Hey" says a voice from behind me breaking my stare from the boys in the corner. "Mel, is it?"
"Yeah, hi." I say smiling. It was Tristan. I look at him awkwardly. I couldn't help but notice he was staring at me. "Uhm, so have you gone swimming yet?" I ask him and he brings his eyes back up to my face
"No, not yet." he says taking a step towards me "wanna go for a swim?"
My cheeks turn red. "I uhm can't I sprained my ankle." I say pointing down to the splint around my ankle. It wasn't a lie, bit technically I didn't really need the splint anymore.
"Well you seem to be walking fine." he says smirking. He takes another step towards me and grabs me by the waist throwing me over his shoulder.
"Hey! Put me down!" I say slapping him on the back, but he doesn't listen. He jumps in the water with me on his back. He lets go of me when we hit the water and the last thing I remember is hitting the bottom.
