Nadine waved eagerly for me to get out of the pool, but my feet were stuck to the bottom as if encased in cement. “Yeah man, Aly said she’d be over here,” Jake explained. “Hey it’s cool,” Chris said, awkwardly looking around. “Your girl was teasing me so I had to let her have it.” I wished I were a mind reader. Jake glanced over at me, giving a nod and lop-sided smile. Chris continued with his nonsense and I wanted to punch him. Jake stood there glancing between everyone. “So, you and Aly, huh?” he asked, snooping – like it was all a lie or something. I wanted to sink to the bottom of the pool. I pictured myself hurling one of the nearby plastic dog toys at his head.
