Soaked

52. Whirlpool of Reality

My face couldn't help but smile as the familiar voices of the guys continued to surround me.

"Who took my place while I was gone?" I questioned, glancing at Levi as his hazel eyes met mine.

He smirked. "You don't know the person, but they were in your spot last time." I looked down, my mind pulling out a blank. "They were here when you went to the Fire Corals for a week."

As I kept pulling a blank, my head finally remembered. I saw that person at the café, and they were kind enough to try and help my situation with Xavier!

I remained quiet as we finished walking the hallway, my eyes brightening at a bunch of shirtless guys that always makes my cheeks flush even if I knew all of them.

"Arielle!"
"Damn bae!"
"She's back!"
"I got scared thinking she was twig at first!"
"Same."
"God answered all our prayers!"

I rolled my eyes as a bunch of screams echoed around the gymnasium. I actually miss all the loud commotions that these boys caused.

Levi walked in an opposite direction from me as he smirked. "Hey guys." I threw them a peace sign as I walked my way into the locker room.

I watched Max run towards me as he bit his lip, making me walk faster to the locker room. "Hey babe, I heard your single now." I sighed as he reached me, his body cutting all sort of boundaries the second he got close.

"Am I?" I couldn't help but smile at he looked down at me, his brown eyes playfully narrowing at me.

"Uh yea." He quickly responded. "So does that mean I get to fuck you now?" My eyes widened as I smacked him on the shoulder. "Ow!"

"You're in college! When are you gonna stop being so cringey and immature!" I laughed out of annoyance. "You promised you'd stop bothering me."

He clicked his tongue as he leaned against my locker, making me throw my head up. "Arielle please! I have the biggest crush on you! And I know I'm attractive, at least kiss my cheek." He begged, his eyes mischievously looking behind me.

I furrowed my eyebrows down as I turned around, catching a glance of Braxton who was hiding. "I see you! Just because it worked with you, doesn't mean it will happen again." A memory of Braxton kissing me coming to my head.

My head turned back towards Max, making me freeze as his face stood an inch close to me. "See." He looked down at my mouth. "I'm a gentleman. If I wanted to, I can shove my tongue down your throat right now." His voice came out as a seductive whisper as my face wrinkled.

I moved him aside as I opened my locker. "You're a cringey fuckboy Max." I laughed, making him laugh also as he walked away in defeat.

"You came back?" Logan's voice appeared beside me.

"I did." I looked at him from the side.

Logan was that dreamy guy that everyone thought I was gonna end up in a love triangle with and for some reason, after I found about him dating Kaitlyn, it kinda just went downhill from that.

"Well we missed you." Logan grabbed a towel from his locker as he smirked, his crystal clear eyes shining at me.

"Thanks." I nodded my head back as he proceeded to walk away.

"How come you didn't tell me you were coming back!" Trevor waddled towards me, his hair was damp as the rest of the water continued to flow down his biceps.

"I wanted it to be a surprise." I took my clothes off my duffel bag as he groaned.

"That's unfair!" Trevor widened his mouth at me. "Hey Steven." I smiled at Trevor as his cheeks seemed to slightly burn, making him play it off by covering his face with a towel.
