Nicky was sitting on one of the beach chairs near the pool wrapped up in her beach towel. It wasn’t necessarily cold, but the temperature seemed to be dropping as it got darker. She reached her hand into the bag of chex mix she had swiped from the snack stockpile on the bus and watched as some of her friends horsed around in the pool and others drank in the area near it. “If everyone makes it out of this party unharmed, physically and emotionally, I may actually die of shock,” she commented absent-mindedly to the person sitting near her. 

Pulling himself up and out of the pool, Jesse twisted to sit on the edge a moment, his feet dangling in the water. Given where he now lived pool parties were nothing irregular for him, however he couldn’t remember the last time he’d been to one of these guys birthdays. It left him wondering once more what everyone had done with their lives after graduation, where they’d been. But he didn’t want anyone to mistake his curious questions for genuine care, so he kept his mouth shut. Grabbing a beer from the poolside cooler, Jesse leaned back until he was flat on his back, feet still kicking in the water. “Unless this is some game that requires all participation, i’m looking to make as little waves as possible tonight.” Jesse commented as he felt someone approach, who was he kidding, he loved a little trouble.
