My Love (Westlife)

Chapter 4 - My Love

Chapter 4

I went back to the camp only to be sabotaged by some girls who needed attention. Not really sabotaged, but yeah, a little closed to it. "It's a little unrealistic to see the girl who embarrassed Westlife in front of so many people then have the guts to hang out with them,"

I then gave these girls a glare, "What?"

I found out that her name was Kelly. It was written on her nameplate. All of us were required to wear our nameplates. I just hadn't worn mine. She also got some company. There were four of them in total. Great, first day of the seminar and I already managed to get myself some enemies.

"You're so full of yourself," Kelly said, "Embarrassing them then fli—"

"—flirting with them?" I finished her sentence, "The hell would I flirt with them? I'm not a bitch like you," even though I didn't know who she was exactly, I kind of got the feeling that I was telling her exactly what she was.

"How dare you! No one dares to call me like that!" she shouted, loud enough for all the people inside the building to hear.

"Well, I did," I smirked then walked away.

That, was something I didn't do very often.

It was not really that fun to spend your second day in the MSTG alone. I guessed I couldn't complain. I had no friends after all. I woke up early, changed my clothes, and then strolled to the cafeteria to eat my lunch. I took my seat at the back corner of the cafeteria. I was pretty sure that it was a place where no one would notice you.

I felt a presence in front of my table as I started reading the newspaper. "Hey! Mind if we join you?" I looked up then saw Bryan grinning widely at me with the rest of the Westlife members. As I scanned the cafeteria, all eyes shifted on us. I mentally sighed. Westlife really had this influence on other people.

"Not really," I told them and they sat comfortably beside and in front of me.

"How come you're always alone?" asked Kian.

"I don't know. I just feel like it," I then asked an unbelievable question, "Why are you eating with me?"

Mark mocked my remark, "Because we feel like it,"

"Guess what our activity is today?" asked Nicky.

"What?"

"Swimming," said Shane. I felt my body froze. Swimming? One thing that I feared the most was swimming. I couldn't swim and I was afraid of large water bodies. When I was younger, I was close to dying. I was just about three years old back then. We went to this beach and I managed to let myself drown. I forgot what happened after that. I guessed I had to pass on this one... or I could go there and pretend that I was taking a swim, right? It was really embarrassing for a girl of my age to not be able to swim.

"Is there something wrong?" Nicky approached me.

"It's nothing," I stood up after telling them that I needed to prepare for the activity later. How was I going to prepare? Well, I didn't know. I thought that I just needed to go with the flow.

"Hey Rain!" called Bryan when I was a few steps away from them. "Wear something nice, okay?" I gave him a nod and a smile which he returned gratefully.

I just wore my sports' shorts from Nike and plain white t-shirt for the activity. All I needed to do was pretend that I was joining the activity or else, people would laugh because I couldn't swim. Every activity started at 12:30 according to the rules of the MSTG. So, I only got ten minutes to go to the pool.

When I got there, I was shocked to see that the pool was a lot bigger than I expected. A thousand people might fit in it. Many people were already gathered around the pool wearing their trunks and bikinis. A few wearing normal clothes that I was wearing but outnumbered by the girls who were wearing such daring bikinis. I guessed it was a new way to seduce Westlife. I spotted Kelly with her friends who were wearing such minimal bikinis that only covered half of their 'you-obviously-know-what-I'm-talking-about'.

Westlife arrived lastly wearing their swimming trunks which exposed their well-sculpted bodies. As you could see, the girls surrounded them and drooled right in front of them. It was a good thing that the band didn't spot me because it was just going to lead with Kelly being hotheaded again. They went towards the pool whilst I went behind the bushes so no one could see me. I leaned my back against a tree and took a nap.

The sun finally went down and I could see that the swimming activity had already ended. I tried to count the hours of sleep I consumed and summed up with four hours. Well, sleeping here was indeed very comfortable. I stood up and went to the pool. It was empty. I went to the back side corner of it then soaked my feet in the water.

I stayed there for half an hour until I felt someone's hand on my back and pushed me to the pool. I didn't scream because of my pride. I really didn't know why I didn't. All I knew was that I was drowning without any idea of how to swim.
