*Ari'sPOV*
Can you imagine? It has been eight months since the Chanelle incident.
Every now and then, I would wake up in the middle of the night, screaming because I had a trauma with what happened.
Now, screw Chanelle. Cato, has been the best boyfriend a girl could ever ask for. He was the only person who stayed with me the whole time, and helped me go through all the sh!t that has happened.
Which reminds me, I haven't heard of Riley ever since. After the bullying of Chanelle and Cato before got worse, she turned her back on me and ever since, I never saw her. What bestfriend does that? Apparently, her.
An arm snaked around my waist, burying his head on my neck; I didn't need to know who was it, because I do know who it is. "What are you thinking about?"
I smiled, turning around as I wrapped my arms around his waist. "Just you." I said, chuckling and kissing his cheek.
"You're so adorable." He cooed, pecking my lips.
I gaped at him, "Did you just call me adorable?"
"Oh my gosh! The bad boy called me adorable. Holy crap, I need a camera!" I exclaimed, jokingly.
"Your bad boy." He said as he rolled his eyes. I was about to say something else, but I was cut off by warm lips, placing on mine.
As he pulled away, I pouted and playfully glared at him. "Can't get enough of me? Baby, I'm all yours. You'll have more than you can imagine." He said, as he winked and smiled, showing that cute dimple!
I immediately blushed as he realized what he said. I looked at him and hit the back of his head. "You perv!"
"Wow, my girlfriend can be violent. Oh, and only for you." He said, winking.
I rolled my eyes, grabbing a pack of Doritos inside the cabinet and sat down on the couch.
"Share with your boyfriend, babe. Sharing is caring." Cato said, plopping down beside me and was about to reach out to take my precious Doritos but I swatted it away.
"No! Mine." I playfully said, eating another piece.
"Now that's mean, babe. Share or I'll have to force you. Choose." Cato smirked, and amused look on his face.

"And if I don't?" I challenged, sticking my tongue out at him.
"Well, then I guess I will just bring someone else to the waterpark." He said as his smirk got bigger and he ran a hand in his hair.
Did he just say waterpark?! Holy dimples!
"Waterpark?!" I squealed, grabbing a handful of chips and shoved it all in his mouth. Nowaywas I goingtoturndownanoffer, whichincludeswaterparks!
"There's your Doritos! Now bring me to the damn waterpark!" I excitedly said. Gosh, I haven't been to the waterpark since forever.
"That was easy." He said, as he leaned down and planted a long, soft kiss on my lips.
I need to get my swimsuit! I'm so excite--
As soon as I remembered something, my excitement died down and my lips turned into a frown.
"What's wrong, princess?" He came closer to me, with worried eyes, and cupped my cheeks.
Myscars.
"I-I can't wear a swimsuit." I said, feeling disgusted with myself.
"and why the hell not?"
"My scars.." I mumbled, tears wanted to escape and flow down my face.
"Baby, listen to me. Those scars, made you unique. Made you a strong, beautiful girl. If I had a chance to change anything in your body, I would change nothing. Because I love you for who you are. but I do want to change the way I hurt you before, I was a self-centered jerk. but don't feel insecure, because you're the most gorgeous girl I've seen. It doesn't matter if you have scars, as long as you have a good heart, everyone will admire you. They may see your scars, but they don't know your story. Don't think any negative things alright?" Cato said, cupping my cheeks and looking at me straightly in the eyes. His eyes were full of honesty, care, and.. love.
Now, this just made me feel more confident. Considering the fact that he wasn't ashamed of me.
"Thank you." I said, my voice breaking. Thinking how thankful I am to have this guy as mine. Who knew? my bully, is my lover.
"Anything for you, my love." He whispered, planting his soft lips against mine. It was heartmelting, in a good way. This guy will be the death of me. That's for sure.

It took approximately about, 30 minutes and we were both done. Okay, maybe I got little wardrobe malfunction, and Cato ended up waiting for me for about 20 minutes. Girls need to look well in front of their boyfriends right? Cato insisted on taking my time, but I really felt bad for him.
I finally settled with a one strapped bra swimsuit, putting on a black cardigan and paired it with some jean shorts. We're going to the waterpark, so I decided on a pair of flip flops that had a gold metallic strap.
My hair was a bit messy, but cute. I wasted no time, grabbing my bag, ray ban sunglasses and bolted downstairs to find a really, really, hot Cato. He had on surfboard trunks, an aztec tank, black flipflops and had his sunglasses on. His hair was a bit messy, which made him look 10 times hotter than he is.
Dang, he should be banned for being too hot.
He was leaning on the door frame, playing with his phone and I swear, I was going to melt within seconds, not by the sun, but by him.
I regained my posture and stopped the droll that was about to slide down my chin..just kidding.
I cleared my throat, his eyes looked up at me and raked my body. Okay, now I felt self concious and awkward.
He took two strides as he stood in front of me, snaking his arms around my small waist. He leaned in, kissing the tip of my nose and whispered, "See? you look beautiful."
"and you look hot." I muttered, immediately clamping a hand over my mouth as I blushed so hard.
He deeply chuckled, cupping my left cheek. "You're way hotter, baby."
"Oh shush, you." I grumbled, my cheeks turning so red as ever.
"Now let's go." I excitedly said, grabbing his hand as we made our way to Cato's car.
This guy is too nice for his own good, despite the things that happened before, he has a soft side.
25 minutes later, we arrived at the water park and people started to pile up inside. Well, there goes my confidence.
Cato must have noticed the way I was fidgeting my fingers, and staring at never ending people that started to fill the waterpark.
He gently grabbed my hand, giving it a light squeeze showing that it was alright, tha everything will be alright.
"Let's go." I said, as we both went out and grabbed our stuffs in the back trunk.
I wasn't going to chicken out. Cato did all this for me, and all I can do is oblige and go with him. I'm doing this for him.
Cato payed the tickets and bought us food; We settled in a nice open cottage and put our things, then headed to the pool.
Thankfully, it wasn't too hot. Because sun burns, hurt too much!
There was all sorts of slides and all of it looked terribly scary and dangerous. (for me, I guess.)
"Scared, princess?" Cato taunted, that famous sexy smirk forming his lips.
"N-No, just deciding on which to ride f-first." I stuttered. Okay, obiviously, I was scared. Probably sh-tting my pants now.
"You're not scared? then let's go on that." He pointed to the death slide. As what I like to call it..
It was an OPEN slide; you ride on an inflated boat and then some lifeguard will push you down to at least fifteen meters high.
Oh holy fudgeballs, this is going to be my last day of living! I'm so going to die!
"Not scared now?" Cato said, his smirk going even wider.
"P-psh, no! I am not s-scared." I confidently said. He raised his eyebrow, eyes showing amusement.
"Then let's go." Cato started to walk to the waterslide place. but it seems like my legs doesn't want to move.
I was scared sh-tless, and really, I think it's dangerous.
I was having a mental battle with my brain whether I should go or not.
Oh don't be such a baby. My brain said.
Shut up, I'm not. I will go! Just taking my...time? I replied.
Okay, I was officially crazy. Talking to myself and all.
Then woman up and go ride th--
"Ari?" a very familiar, shocked voice said. It was all too familiar.. that voice..
I turned around, my blood running cold and realization hit me like a brick.
"R-Rilee?"
