I awkwardly shimmied my way to the locker room, trying my best to make a grand and pathetic entrance.

"Arielle!" Trevor's voice bursted out, catching other's attention around the room.

Everyone's eyes landed onto me, except for Levi's. Instead, he just prepared to exit the locker room to the pool area.

Oh my God, I felt like my heart just broke to tiny little Levi pieces. It genuinely hurts to just see him not even bother to look at me or even say anything about my return.

My eyes just decided to follow Levi as he walked himself away from all the commotion that I caused. Even though we weren't official, it still hurts to see him act this way towards me.

Trevor's tight hug snapped me back to reality, causing me to return his hug back.

"I've missed you so much, you have no idea." Trevor cheered, pretending to swipe off tears off his eyes.

"I've missed you t-" before I could've finished my sentence, Logan had already approached me with Max, Braxton, Caleb, and Diego by his side.

"Damn, you actually switched back." Logan smiled gleefully. "How'd my brother react?"

"Like a little child that just dropped his ice cream on the floor." I replied, causing the other boys to break out in laughter.

"How was the Shitrays?" Max queried.

"It definitely lived up to it's name." I beamed, looking around the room for more familiar faces.

"I'm surprised Levi didn't go up to you." Caleb pursed his lips at me in curiosity.

"I really don't know to be honest." I lied, hiding the truth than to just spill it out and cause more drama.

"Well you know what that means." Braxton's familiarly alluring green eyes gleamed at me. "I still have a chance." He cooed.

"Not in a million years!" I teased, furrowing my eyebrows at him. 

"Dude, shut up! You're so fucking thirsty I swear!" Diego laughed, causing the others to laugh too.

Not gonna lie, The Stingrays are so boring compared to The TigerSharks. Half of the boys in that team I didn't even talk to! Plus, it just didn't feel the same considering the fact that The TigerSharks have kinda just grown on me like a family.

I happily walked myself back to my locker which surprisingly still had my beautifully decorated name tag on it.

Patiently stuffing my clothes into my locker, a hand out of nowhere suddenly reaches in to shut it close, causing me to flinch back in surprise.

"Relax, it's just me." Levi groaned softly behind my ear, causing shivers to run down my spine.

His arms wrapped behind me as his lips softly nibbled on my neck. I let out a quiet moan as I tried to take in what was happening.

"Fuck, how bad I want you." His deep voice continued to whisper into my ear, suddenly flipping me towards him to break the gap between our faces with a demanding kiss.

"You okay? Coach Alex wants to see you already so hurry up!" Trevor commanded with one eyebrow raised at me.

This is so frustrating, I'm literally gonna go cry in a corner.

"S-sorry." I replied half-smiling at him, turning back around to stuff the rest of my clothes in my locker in a much quicker pace.

"Ah there you are! Arielle! How was it!" Coach Alex queried happily.

"It was fine. It was pretty hard to find any of their cheating ways because they probably knew I was originally from here." I anxiously replied, glancing back at him.

"It's alright, we're still gonna kick their butts next week. We're glad to have you back." He answered positively, gesturing me to sit down with the other shirtless guys.

"As you all may already know, our first swim meet is next week, and I want you all to put your head in the game and not worry about the Winter Formal in that coming weekend okay? We really need this win to show The Stingrays that even if they decide to cheat, it will only make us better. Alright, come on you guys, get in that pool." Coach Alex ended his announcement, blowing his whistle for us to get in the pool.

By the time practice ended, I was already in the shower quietly singing to myself as the warm water relaxed every part of my tensed muscles. I thought about what I was gonna do and how I was gonna fix my problem with Levi.

Since I rather clear things out with Vanessa first, I might as well just walk to her house. And maybe after, I can send Levi a long text paragraph about how he's getting mad for no apparent reason.

I lightly knocked the front door to Vanessa's house to announce my presence, which shockingly resulted to no sign of response. Normally her mom would open it and greet me. Maybe her mom and dad are at work.

The second time, I decided to knock a little bit harder, hoping this time I would get an answer.

Out of nowhere the door suddenly creaked open as if it was already open.

"Vanessa?" I whispered loudly as I entered the living room, she was not there. I glided into the kitchen to also see that she wasn't there. I walked into the garage since you can never be to sure and saw that she also wasn't there. From the emptiness of the house, she's probably in her room upstairs.

I silently tip toed my way through the hallway across her room, quietly hearing what sounded like commotion occurring inside.

Considering over the fact that she's my bestfriend and that her door is unlocked, I might as well just invite myself in.

"Hey girl he-"

Wow, nice.

The feeling of time completely stopping because of how shocked you are about something you didn't want to see is the worst feeling in the world.

Vanessa rapidly latched her arms off his neck, causing him to break off their kiss that seemed so passionate and real.

My face stayed blank as I felt my eyes starting to tear up.

"A-Arielle I can explain!" Vanessa mumbled apologetically.

Anger and hatred quickly radiated around me as I tried my best to keep myself from physically harming anyone.

"Levi how could you?" I quavered despondently.

OOOHH GURL! THERE IS SOME MAJOR DRAMA GOING ON! IF I WAS ARIELLE I WOULD SIMPLY JUST LIGHT UP A MATCH AND BURN VANESSA'S HOUSE DOWN LMAO! REMEMBER TO COMMENT AND VOTE!
