I can’t help but stare at Nic while he talks about art and what it means to him. I usually ask others questions to avoid answering any myself, but with Nic, I genuinely want to know more. I’m glad I agreed to go out with him today. 

He looks at me and smiles. I quickly look away from him, embarrassed to be caught staring. His question makes me pause. [color=#DB7093]”Oh, that might be a factor. That may be why it feels more real to me.”[/color]

I woke up a couple of hours later to an empty room. I don’t mind, though, and stretch out before I toss the blankets back. I get dressed in something simple for now, knowing I’ll have to dress and go into town today, but not right now.

I grab my notes from last night and go through what I wrote down while I walk downstairs. I glance up to see Nero wandering around with a mountain of towels. I look at them sideways, blinking a few times before voices catch my attention. I turn to see Kimiko getting out of the pool in a huff.

I snort when Kiki calls Avery a wet dog. She storms into the house, and I grab her shoulders gently. [color=#006400]”Kiki,”[/color] I greet. [color=#006400]”Not having fun?”[/color]

I frown as Kimiko goes off, quickly losing her patience. I don’t know why she thinks I should automatically be friendly to her or nice to everyone. People, including our own kind, aren't very nice. Did she just completely forget that from last night? I roll my eyes when she storms off. I wave her off, not caring at this point and return to my swim.
