I was alone by the lake while the others transferred to the pool area. The circle grew smaller since Romeo and Megan went inside both drunk, Tracy and Clyde left and were drunk as well while Aries was having his migraine all of a sudden so he needed to sleep it off. Penny, Nick and Alec were left there and since Nick told me to leave the circle cos Penny was being her drunk self and kept firing insults at me, he told me to rather leave.

All of a sudden a bottle of beer was handed out to me and I looked around to find Alec. He smiled at me, "Beer?"

"No thanks." I answered.

He sits right next to me and we were both now looking at the peaceful lake, he was drinking the beer instead. "Where's everyone?" I asked.

"Drunk. Asleep. Maybe drunk screwing."

"Drunk screwing?" I laughed. "How's Penny?" I wasn't concerned about her but I was obviously asking that question cos I wanted to know if Nick was with her.

"Totally wasted. Nick's walking her to her room." Alec answered.

Nick.

Nick is walking Penny to her room. She's obviously planned this. What if she's going to lock him up in her room? What if she's going to seduce him? What if Nick will fall for it? Will Nick fall for it? Oh god what if they're going to fuck?

I gaze at Alec and he was just busy looking at the lake. I wonder why they became best buds when Nick is the total opposite of Alec. His platinum blond hair is glowing and his brown eyes were focused on the moon. He has this clean cut look than Nick. He has no facial beard and he's a looker too but not as eye candy as Nick. He was a lot more friendly and talkative as well.

"How long have you known Nick?" I asked Alec as I was trying to ignore the fact that Nick is with Penny right now. Though I'm really bothered about it.

"Since his balls were still tiny."

I laughed and noticed that Alec was laughing with me.

"So that means... You're as old as him then?" I asked.

He nods.

"How old were you when you got to college?" I asked curiously.

"We were both twenty."

"Why? Why did you go to college late?"

He didn't answer quickly anymore. I watch him as he takes a drink from his beer and then another quick one. I think he was looking for the right answer or either he's thinking about telling me what he knows.

"Money." He answered but his eyes were so distant.

"I promised him we'll go to college together. We both had to save for it and there were other reasons too." He answer.

Other reasons?

"Nick isn't really a bad guy Savannah. He may be mean to you and to others. But he's not what he looks like." Alec says.

I know Alec. I thought.

"People are scared of him cos he looks badass but Nick is the opposite to that. He's always misjudged cos he doesn't smile at all. He pretty much changed and became coldhearted when we got to college." He said to me while his eyes were so distant.

"Why?" I asked.

He gazed at me.

"Why did he change?" I added.

Both of us stared at each other like it was a staring contest until Alec starts laughing softly He smiled. "Why so curious about Nick all of a sudden?"

Shit. He caught me.
