Zach's Pov

We finish up in the water park then decide to go change into our normal clothes.

We all head to the locker rooms.

On our way over there the guys start to hound me again.

"Did you ask her?" Jack blurts

"Oh c'mon you can't just ask him that. But did you?" Corbyn asks

"Sorta."

"Sorta? You did or you didn't." Jack shoots

"I think I did but we're both still trying to figure it all out. It's complicated. I don't really wanna label anything until I can make more sense of it."

"Look at you growing up bro!" Jonah exclaims

"We're really about to have 2 couples in the group. Swell." Daniel beams

"We'll see."

We reach the men's locker room so we all change back into our normal clothes.

Once we're all dressed we find a bench to wait on.

Keel's Pov

Ivy and I make our way to the girl's locker room.

She keeps giving me the look.

The look when she know's something is up.

"What?"

She gives me the look again.

"What do you want Ivy?"

"Oh c'mon Ke, spill!"

We reach the changing room.

It's not as busy in here as I thought it'd be.

"Keeeellll" she whines

She grabs my wrist and pulls us both into the family stall.

"Did you really just?"

"Yes. Now spill."

"There really isn't anything to spill."

"Bull. What did you two talk about?"

I suck in a breath then let it out in a sigh.

"We agreed to not hate each other anymore. And he asked if I wanted to maybe go grab dinner or something this weekend."

"I KNEW IT!"

My hand flies to cover her mouth to quite her.

"Shh! Quiet you psycho!"

She tries to speak and it's muffled.

"Promise to be quiet?"

She nods and I move my hand away.

"Did you tell him that you like him?"

"Didn't come up."

"So like are you two gonna go out? Like what's gonna happen?"

"I don't know. I mean I'm just gonna go with it. We both agreed to see where it goes. So we don't really have a label as of now. And I'm honestly okay with that."

"Awe Ke. I'm so happy for you! That's precious!"

"There's still a chance it doesn't work out Ivy. That's why we're just going with it. We don't wanna push anything. That goes for all of you 5 too. Don't force anything."
