MiaWe got to the lake in no time. The dock was pretty quiet without all the others here. The summer was different. The lake had been overcrowded with teens. The nonstop music and rowdy teens filled my memories. It was pretty awesome, but, if I had to choose, I rather have today. Nate and Jordan wasted no time. They take off their shirts and kick off their shoes, running toward the water lit by the full moon. They take their pants off, and dive right into the water, making Kenzie and I chuckle. "Woooohhhh....Come on, let's go join them!" Kenzie says, grabbing my arm. "What? No... I- I don't have any clothes." I say, stopping in my tracks. "Oh, come on, Mia! Live a little. Who cares, none of us have extra clothes. Come on, it'll be fun." she says, looking at me with a smile. She is probably right. I may have a sassy mouth, and I'm very blunt to talk back, but somehow... I felt a bit timid when it came to opening up to this kind of thing. "Come on in girls. The water is still warm."

MiaI was ready to fall asleep after taking a nice shower. For being the beginning of fall already, the weather was still incredibly hot. I turned on the fan, drying my hair with my bath towel as I made my way to the bed. Bailey was not home. I figured she was with that no-good Liam. God, I have a bad feeling about this guy. I can't help it, I can't shake off the feeling he's going to hurt her. I looked at my phone and saw Nate had answered my good night text. He texted good night and that he loved me too. Tonight, I was close to giving in when we kissed in that water. My god, he knows how to turn me on. I smiled reading his text and then flopped on the bed, ready to text him again when I hear a small tap in the window. "What the hell!" I whispered, getting off the bed. I was startled, but soon a huge smile came to my face as I see Nate lifting the window ever so slowly and climbing inside. "Nate! What are you doing here?" I whispered, hoping no one would notice him. "I had to see

NateI followed Jordan to his car, pulling him by his arm right before he pressed the button on his remote to unlock it. "Jordan, wait. Come on man. What's going on with you? You've been ignoring everyone's phone calls since the day we had dinner with our families. What's going on?" I ask, making him turn irritated. "Nate, I mean it. Just drop it okay?" he says, holding his hand out."You really don't want to talk about it, fine. I'm not going to pressure you, man. But- we have a big game coming up, and you know it. You miss a single practice and the coach will not let you play. You know that." I say, trying my best to keep him from leaving."I don't care! Alright?" he says, holding his hands out, making me worried."See? There you go! Something is wrong... something big, and you don't want to tell me. I thought we were best friends man. I guess I was wrong!" I say, sounding a bit hurt. Truth is, I was just concerned. He's not the kind to bottle things up. Jordan is like an open boo

MiaI cleared my throat, feeling completely baffled by Asher's words. "He's such a weirdo. A hot weirdo, but a weirdo, nonetheless. Isn't he?" Kaitlyn says, making me jump in place as she stands behind me."What the heck, Kate! You scared the hibbies-jibbies out of me." I said, placing my hand over my heart and making her laugh."Hibbie-jibbies? What are we five?" she says, laughing. "Hey, guys!" Kenzie adds as she joins us, sitting next to me on the bench. "What are we talking about, huh?" She asks, placing her book bag down and smiling. "Asher Slate. Bay's new Prince charming." Kate says, making me roll my eyes."Oh... Asher. He's hot, so much better than Liam if you ask me." Kenzie adds, making me chuckle. "Yeah, he really is," I admitted, sighing. He and I haven't really exchanged many words, but he seems like the nicest guy ever. But if he can make Bailey forget about dumb Liam, I am all for it. Whatever he meant by 'rejecting me' I'm sure he said it for a reason, I won't dig

MiaThe bell to the next class would soon ring but Nate was adamant to hold me as he buried his head in the curve of my neck, making me chuckle. "You know you're going to be late for the next class. Coach Mitchell is not going to be happy if you're late," he grunts, making me chuckle. Their practice started after school years ago, but in recent years, they changed it by making all the sports start practice during their last class of the day. This way, they didn't go home so late. I think it was best this way, since soon it was going to start getting darker soon, and Kate sometimes stayed later at the library. This town is really safe, everyone knows each other, but you never know with so many tourists coming into town now and then."Hey, would you mind going with me after school to the library?" I asked Nate, as I ran my fingers through his hair, making him sigh."Of course. What for, if you don't mind me asking?" he asks smiling, showing me his dimples as he slowly pulls away. "I w
