《second best // dnf》9. The Pool

"I'm so sorry Dream! I -I um I did mean to fall asleep on you. Sorry i-if I like made you feel uncomfortable..."
"Jeez George!" Sapnap chuckled, "Calm down, it wasn't that big of a deal."
I agreed with Sapnap and George calmed down after we all laughed it off. Not long after that, we all went to bed, exhausted. I drifted to sleep as soon as my head touched the pillow. It had been quite a day.
_______________________________
The crisp, white pillow cradled my head and I nuzzled my face into the duvet. The room was silent apart from the sound of running water which was Sapnap in his en-suite next door. I was still overwhelmed with tiredness after the long plane journey from England to Florida with no sleep. I hadn't even bothered to open my eyes when I heard a soft knock on the bedroom door.
"Come in," I mumbled tiredly, rubbing me eyes.
"Morning!" exclaimed a particularly cheery voice, "Pack your trunks! We're going swimming!" Dream had a huge grin upon his freckled face; he must be excited.
I slumped out of bed as he left the room. Grabbing my swimming trunks from my suitcase which was squished into the corner of the bedroom, I threw them in a bag-for-life and headed out the door.
_______________________________
"SAPNAP" I yelled, "YOU HAVE TO PACK THE TOWELS OKAY? PLEASE DON'T FORGET!"
"OKAY!" he yelled back.
I picked up some ready-made sandwiches and stuffed them in a big bag. George came trailing down the stairs and placed his swimming trunks in the bag. Sapnap came floundering down from upstairs.
Hoisting the heavy bag off of the floor, we all piled out of the house and into my car. I slipped into the driver's seat while Sapnap and George chilled out in the back. Music blasted from the speaker which lay on the seat next to mine.
George started complaining as Sapnap rested his legs on his chest.
"Sapnap stop! I can barely breathe!"
"SaPnAp sTaWp! I cAn BaRelY bReaThE!" he mocked in a British accent and George huffed with irritation. I just laughed listening to them both squabbling like petty children.

"We're here!" I announced and they both cheered.
Once we were inside the swimming centre, the three of us squeezed into an exceptionally small changing room and swapped our shorts to swimming trunks. Mine were a neon, green, George's were blue and Sapnap's were orange. I pointed out that my trunks were the exact same colour as my minecraft skin. George frowned and shook his head and we ended up having a long conversation about him being colourblind.
______________________________
We were all still arguing about the coloor as we entered the pool room.
Dream peeled off his white t-shirt and I jokingly complimented his 'abs' and it was funny because he didn't have any;
Next, George pulled off his shirt to reveal his chest. He didn't have proper muscles but you could see that the outline of them were slightly toned. All of a sudden, I felt my cheeks burning up and I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly as I stared at him.
It was weird. I've never ever felt awkward around George but now for some reason, I did. I tore my gaze away from his chest and removed my own t-shirt, throwing it into a crumpled pile on the bench. Trying to avoid eye contact with George, I walked over to Dream who was stood at the edge of the pool, and pushed him in. He cursed as he fell into the cool, clear water.
I shrieked and jumped in after him. George, who was still not in the pool, came over to us and slowly eased himself into the cold water, wincing at the temperature of it.
"God it's freezing!" he complained.
"Shut up and stop complaining Gogy," I demanded and grabbed his forearm and dragged him into the water in my direction. He came close to me and he looked up; his soft, hazel eyes staring up into mine. I didn't breathe for a moment or two.
I blushed ferociously again. Usually, when these things would happen, I would think nothing of them, I'd just curse or make fun of George. Not ever, would I lock eyes with him and then feel embarrassed...

______________________________
Sapnap grabbed George's forearm and dragged him closer to him in the water. They locked eyes. It was weird. I frowned with jealousy and got out of the pool. Digging through the bag, I found three water guns that I packed and flinged them into the water at Sapnap and George. They both seized them and immediately began filling them up.
I progressed back into the pool and the two boys were already spraying water at each other. George's screams became muffled gurgles as Sapnap sprayed water into his mouth. Lowering myself into the water, George flung himself at me and started begging Sapnap for mercy.
"Please! Sapnap stop!"
"C'mon George," I frowned, "Don't give up that easily!" and with that, I picked him up out from the water and lifted him onto my shoulders. His legs dangled either side of my neck and his hands gripped my shoulders.
"DREAM!" he shrieked.
I laughed, "What?!"
"I'M GONNA FALL!"
"No you're not, you're fine, I got you!"
"Dream! Please don't let me fall!"
"I WON'T-"
I grabbed George's waist and pushed him back into the water so he would stop freaking out about falling.
_______________________________
I glared at Dream suspiciously as he lowered George from his shoulders and put him into the water. It was as if he constantly needed George's atteniton; like everything he did related back to him. George reappeared at the surface of the water and I swam over to join him, but before I even reached him, Dream was at his side making sure he was okay. I huffed angrily and went back to retrieve my water gun, I refilled it and swam in Dream's direction with a grin on my face.
"WATER FIGHT!" I roared and knocked Dream under the surface with my water gun spraying at him. George started laughing watching as he dropped backwards into the pool and I grinned at the sound of his joyous voice. Dream suggested that we go on teams. Obviously, he wanted George on his team, so it was a two vs one. Dream and George vs me.
_______________________________
"Okay start in Three, Two, One, GO!"
Sapnap came in my direction as George started filling up his water balloons. He had a sinister grin upon his face as he approached me.
"Ready to die Dream?"
"Shut up Sapnap."
Suddenly, George appeared behind Sapnap and launched at least a dozen multi-colored water balloons at his back, snickereing and cheering as he did so. More visitors were seeping into the pool now and we were receiving disappointed glares from families with young children. To be fair, we were three grown men having a water fight. George gasped as he realised that he had ran out of water balloons, however Sapnap had a fully filled water gun in his arms. Before Sapnap had a chance to shoot at him, I grabbed George by his waist and pulled him through the water towards me and let him rest on my lap. His legs sat either side of my thighs as I sat on a step in the shallow end. Now, he had wrapped his legs around my waist.
I lowered my head and whispered into his ear, "Okay, here's the plan..."
I could feel George's breath hot on my neck, goose pumps appeared all over my arms. He was so close to me, his head inches away from mine.
"What's the plan?" he whispered back.
I never got to tell him my plan as Sapnap seized George's waist and dragged him off of my lap. Sapnap lifted him up and propeled him into the air, and George plunged into the other end of the pool; the deep end.
Still slightly irritated, I glared at Sapnap: he had ruined the amazing moment. I shook that irritation away though; I knew Sapnap didn't have a crush on him and that he was just playing in a friendly type of way.
Right?
I came back to my senses to realise something: I never saw George come up out of the water.
