everybody thought isla and blaine were dating. both of them were extremely protective over eachother, and were a lot closer than just ‘friends’. always touching eachother in some way, always talking to and about eachother, it’s like they were dating. but no. isla was straight, so that couldnt happen.

isla was at a gathering with numerous people from her grade, all of them being pretty close with eachother. it was a pool party. parents werent home, drinks were being passed around, music being played, and everyone was talking.

isla and michaela, her best friend, had just canonballed into the pool. after a few minutes of swimming, they got out, wrapping their bodies in towels.

blaine hadnt swam yet. she was in black basketball shorts and a black nike bra, sitting up by the edge of the lounge seat with a soft drink in her hand. she was talking to aliyah, a stud who was very similar to blaine. though aliyah was out, and blaine wasnt.
