He had to admit, after that disastrous first meeting he truly did not expect to ever see Sofia again, but it seems she took her position seriously.  After hearing her explanation, Orlando took a look at his peers. Most of them accepted her words and were in the middle of changing into their swimwear, hell, the girl on the roof just took her clothes off, a swimsuit under them.  

He was no stranger to weird traditions or rites of passage. Back in his home, the first time he participated in the main event of the Carnaval, he got his whole head shaved clean and had to dance barefoot, something all dancers went through. So with that in mind, he took off his shirt and got his towel out of the backpack he brought with him. While not on the level of someone who dedicated their lives to the gym, Orlando's body was fit and lean, specially his legs, but it wasn't something obvious to the eye, having what he liked to call "work muscles", gained through a life of constant physical activity in his youth.

If this was some kind of prank, at least he wouldn't be the only victim of it, and if what Sofia said was true, he wouldn't like to appear dismissive of the school traditions, who knows what the rest of the rich kids might do if they though Orlando didn't respect their customs. The rest of the people in the dock appeared to have the same idea as him, except for one girl that seemed to be extremely against the idea. He could sympathize with her honestly, the weather in England was the total opposite of that of his home, where you could go for a swim on the beach at any time of the day knowing the water would be at the very least temperate, but he could not say the same about here. He was sure at least one of them would catch a cold. 

Victor was the first to try to convince her. He and Maive were the ones he was most familiar with here, at least by sight.  He heard some girls already wondering if he was single or not, maybe he could ask him and sell the info later, as long as he didn't trace it back to Orlando it would be ok. He felt the need to add. [color=LimeGreen]"Yeah, Victor's right, and besides if you get sick or something you could always sue Sofia, it's her idea after all, we can even be your ehh, what's the word... testemunhas, the people who saw it happen and speak about it to the police"[/color] he said with a smirk directed at Sofia. There were still traces of Orlando's acute, almost flowing-like maternal accent in his speech. He didn't really mean it, but well, it was true that the girl in question abandoned them just to appear one week later with a weird request, some playful revenge was in order. There was just one question he had to ask Sofia.
