"Its all about the follow through" derek explains tossing a ping pong ball into the red water filled solo cup in front of me. he decided he'd start me off with water since i was just learning. "you probably play all the time so this is easy for you" i sigh from the other end of the table. "I believe in you kelsey!" sahar says enthusiastically next to johnson even though they have been laughing their asses off at me for the past ten minutes.
i glare at sahar making her laugh as i grab the ball from the cup derek had just made it in wiping it off some. "woah do we an oncoming have a beer pong champ???" jack says laughing, raising his eyebrows at me. "goodmorning princess" i say sarcastically as i look at his bed head that he didn't even attempt to fix. at least he changed...progress. i look away from him and toss the the small ball across the table only for it to miss completely. derek lets out a stifled laugh as i groan. "you really suck at teaching" i say and he laughs. "you were just too cocky for your own good and jinxed yourself" he retorts cocking his head at me. i admit i was a little too cocky while he was explaining how to play, i should have knocked on wood or something... if that even works.
"if you wanted to learn you could have just asked me, i would have taught you" jack shrugs. "i never thought of it until derek brought it up last night so i just went along with his offer" i say, and the fact that i had to be good enough to be jacks beer pong partner.
nate went on last night telling me how good they were at beer pong together making me feel upset and thrown off for the rest of our game of quarters, which was actually more fun than i would have imagined. i watch as derek tosses it back over, making it of course. he's made the last four in a row.
i fish it out of the cup and jack sighs coming up from behind me to put his hands on mine. chills started to show on my skin as he tried to show me how to do it. he pulled my hand back a few times explaining how to do it and were to let go but after a minute i just zoned out and watched him. He still looked tired and you could tell he was hungover from last night. You could smell his usual minty scent which made me fill with butterflies.
"just like that" jack says making eye contact with me causing me to pull myself out of my thoughts. "you'll get the hang of it eventually" he adds not knowing i was zoned out and thinking about him the whole time he was trying to teach me how to do it. i just nod simply and attempt to remember how he had just explained it. nothing came to mind so i just winged it. it bounced off the table and actually touched a cup this time but didn't go in.
"Damn you're making me start to worry that i'm actually going to lose" derek says sarcastically as he wipes fake sweat off of his forehead causing me to laugh. "shut up, i will definitely have you worried tonight" i point at him and he raises his eyebrows. "unless you're my partner like we had talked about last night" he slightly shrugs making me remember that we had talked about that. "well have everyone worried, even you jack" i say looking over at him. "right" he laughs shaking his head. "i'm going to go eat" he informs me as i nod and turn back to watch derek throw his turn.
"Miss!!" i laugh hoping he would, which he does. "yeah? fuck you"

"fuck yeah!" i shout high giving derek as we had just won our second game in a row like we had told everyone we would. "jack come play against us" i beg looking in his direction. "i'm good" he says making me furrow my eyebrows at his sudden attitude change. "okay" i say lowly. "we got you" sammy and nate say standing up from their chairs. "this will be an easy win" derek smirks looking down at me.
halfway through the game i look over and see jack laughing with kiara and madeline as they sat in the hot tub. i couldn't help but feel just a hint of jealousy. I guess this proves i actually have become attached like i was scared i was. i have no right to feel jealous though, we arent even dating. we're just friends... who occasionally kiss...and flirt..
"you good?" derek asks furrowing his eyebrows at me as he looks down to me. "of course, lets finish them" i smile and he nods as we watch sammy throw the ball in and miss. "fuck." he groans. "seriously dude i'm carrying our fucking team" nate laughs shaking his head at sams miss.

the whole day derek and kelsey have been hanging out. laughing. talking. sitting by eachother. him trying to teach her how to play beer pong. Making her some food. i'd lie if i said i wasn't jealous. i am. i'm fucking jealous. Things were actually going good between us then she gets introduced to him. i shouldn't be mad though. we aren't even dating, but i like her.
i should have just come clean about it at the halloween party like i had planned to do. Now a month later i regret pussying out of it because derek won't leave her alone.
"your boobs look fine madeline" kiara groans. Madeline wouldn't shut up about how she felt like her boobs were too small. she was probably just fishing for a compliment from me on her boobs. i stayed silent the whole time, not even daring to look at them. i had no interest in looking at them. "really?" madeline asks full of hope making me want to roll my eyes at how dumb they sounded. why does it matter what size your boobs are.
i continue to watch derek and kelsey getting along perfectly fine like they had all day. i couldn't help but clench my jaw as i see him check her out when she wasn't looking.
"watch sam throw, he's so drunk" kiara says making me take my eyes off of them and watch sam throw for his turn. she was right. he was drunk. we all laughed at how he loses his balance and the face nate gives him before he says something. we were too far away to hear him though, it made kelsey laugh so it had to have been insulting. she always laughs when someone insults sam, which i understand why. It's always funny and his reaction makes it even better.
"do you go to school with sam?" kiara asks me making me look away from to beer pong game and at her. "yeah" i say nodding. "i think i actually saw you at a game one time" madeline speaks up. "two weeks ago!" she says brightly and i laugh some. "probably" i say shrugging. "you're a really good basketball player" she smiles scooting closer to me. i scoot to my left to keep my personal space but end up hitting my shoulder against kiaras. "i think i'm gonna go shower, i'm tired" i lie getting out of the hot tub to dry off and go upstairs to mine and kelseys room.
i yawn as i wrap my wet hair in a towel. before walking out of the bathroom and jack laying down on the bed from down the hall. "well i think i'm getting good a beer pong" i say proud of myself since i literally never get the hang of this type of stuff. i guess these past two days i've been on my game.
i lay down next to jack but he doesn't pull me in like he normally does when we are about to go to sleep. i furrow my eyebrows and look at him quickly to see if he's asleep, which he was so of course he wouldn't pull me into him.
