"May I present. The Belly Special?" Belly says as she walks over toward where Nicole and Conrad were sitting and setting down the drink in between them "Ooh, very nice," Nicole says while smiling

After Belly and I decided it was safe to go back inside she went in and finished the drinks and even made a little more, while I went down to the beach with the rest of the people, Dylan and I were lying in an inflatable Flamingo with my head in his lap, Shayla and Steven were next to us sitting in a pink tube while the rest of us were sitting in chairs

"Uh, we saved you the inflatable unicorn," Gigi says while pointing to the half-deflated unicorn sitting next to her "Well, thank you," Belly says while walking over to sit down

"Hey, guys. Hey, check out who I found. It's Cam Cameron," Jeremiah says while walking closer to us with Cam trailing behind him. "Cam!," Everyone said in a cheery voice

Cam walks over toward Belly while Conrad tries to hand him a drink "Oh, I'm good, man. Thank you, I don't drink," Cam says nicely and then sits down next to Belly "Yes, that's right. More for me, that's fine," Conrad said while bringing the cup to his lips "It's not a race, Con." Nicole said causing me to cringe at the fact she called him 'Con' he hated when people called him that

"Here," Nicole says while handing me two cups and I mutter a thank you while taking them and handing one to Dylan and I lay back down on him "You know, I can't see so I really think you should give me your sunglasses," I say while looking up at him and smiling

"Hmm, no," He says while laughing and I go to grab them and he grabs my wrist and pulls my hand away "Noo, I'll give them back in a few minutes," I say while laughing and going to reach for them again "More like a few hours," He says while laughing and I snatch the glasses off of him causing him to look down at me with a fake shocked face

"How dare you," He says while his mouth is still hanging open "That wasn't nice," He says grabbing my drink out of my hand and setting it down, and then tickling me causing me to laugh and squirm around "Fine, fine, I surrender," I say in-between laughs "You can have them back," I say laughing as he still tickles me

"No, keep them, you look cuter in them anyways," He says smiling at me and handing me my drink "Let's play a game," Belly suggests

Everyone agrees and we decided to play a game where you have to throw a coin in a cup and if you make it the person of your choice has to take a drink "Ooh, Drink," Jeremiah said while laughing and pointing at me, I throw the coin and miss

"Haha, drink," Belly says while pointing at Shayla "Fuck," Shayla says before taking a sip. It had gone like for a good hour, us just talking and laughing pretending nothing was wrong in the world, it was nice to just spend time with everyone, although, Nicole kept rolling her eyes at me for a reason I don't know, she knows I have Dylan now, and I don't think Conrad told her anything.

After many drinks and games later we all decided to head back up to the house, and the boys all went to play football while we girls decided to go down to the dock and chat. "I don't get Conrad. It's like, one minute he's all over me and he stays over, but then, we don't even fuck, Right?" Nicole says annoyed "And then this morning, he's like, super into me, he's all over me, and now he's like, "Oh, football,"

"Maybe he got bored of talking about things he has no clue of," I said while shrugging my shoulders and taking another sip out of my drink "Yeah, no, he's really hard to read sometimes," Belly says trying to cover up the rudeness in my voice

"Do you really think he likes me?" Nicole says ignoring what I said and looking at Belly "Yeah. Yeah, totally. I mean, he talks about you a lot," Belly says while taking a quick glance at me "Yeah, we talk about you all the time," I say faking a smile

"Really?" Nicole asks "Yeah, mm-hmm," I say while shaking my head and bringing the drink to my lips

"Hi. you guys may want to hydrate. Water," Cam says while handing Belly and me water "Cam Cameron, You are so sweet," I say while looking up to him and smiling, Belly got herself a good one "Do you guys want to go for a walk?" He asks as Dylan walks up behind him

"Tate, by the way, I love that dress," Shayla says while smiling "Really? Thanks, I... Taylor got it for me, actually," I say looking down at it and smiling

"Mm, Taylor has great taste," Shayla says "Yeah, I know right. She totally does, Oh, my God." I say putting a hand over my mouth in shock and Shayla looks at me confused

"You know what, you and Taylor are like, twins because you're both mega-fashiony. And you both like the same summer boys, which is...," I say while trailing my words off "We do?" Shayla asks confused "Come on, let's go for that walk," Dylan says while grabbing my hands, and Cam nods in agreement "No, no, no, Dylan," I say pulling my arm out of his grip

"Look, Shayla, like, don't worry, because Steven is an idiot and it didn't mean anything. It didn't mean anything, Taylor just let her feelings get in the way, and trust me she regrets it," I say before finishing the last sip of my drink "Let's go for that walk," Dylan and Cam say while they try and pull me away, I felt one of their hands let go of me but I didn't turn to see who

"Wait, what didn't mean anything?" Shayla asks with a look of hurt on her face "Uh, them-them kissing," I say while I feel a set of hands grab my waist "Hey..." The voice says in a warning tone "It was like, he-he loves you... And Tay she thinks you're great,"

"Tate, stop," Conrad says from behind me "No, no." I say while rolling my eyes "You are drunk, you don't know what you're saying," He says annoyed

"Let go," I say while trying to remove his hands from my waist, "Why don't you just go for a walk?" He says pulling me away "No way, Jose," I say before getting picked up and placed over someone's shoulders

"Woah, why would you do that?" I say confused and dizzy "Tate, how much have you had to drink?" Conrad asks as we walk away "Ooh, I don't know... 10-15 somewhere in those numbers," I say laughing as we walk up the steps to the house

"You need to sit here and sober up," He says as he sets me down on the couch "But, I don't want to," I say standing up but she lightly pushes my shoulders back and I fall back onto the couch "Well, if you're gonna make me stay here... Go get Dylan, I don't want to be bored and alone," I say crossing my arms and looking away from him

"Fine," He says a bit annoyed, and walking out of the house, I lay back on the couch and grab the blanket that was draped over the side and cover myself up. "Hey," Dylan says causing me to open my eyes "Hello," I say while smiling and he sits down at the end of my feet and put them on his lap

"Grab that," I say pointing to the remote. He grabs it and hands it to me, "We are gonna walk a movie," I say and he just smiles and nods
