Chapter 13: Soon my friend

The three started walking towards the pool area. They arrived 5 minutes before 9, but there were less people than expected.

Serena observed that there were only less than twenty students present and all of them were girls. The girls were all pretty with well-proportioned body. They were all huddled together giggling and looking up from time to time.

When the group of girls saw them, they quickly waved and beckoned them to join.

"So there are still new members coming. I thought only 5 freshmen joined this year but I'm glad to note that there are 8 of you. Welcome to the swimming club. By the way, I am Julia, a senior." The girl who seems to be the leader of the group greeted them. She was a very pretty brunette.

"Thank you for the warm welcome Miss Julia." The girls replied as they introduced themselves.

"No need to be so formal, all of us here are sisters. It has been an unwritten rule for us to call each other as sis." Julia said as all the girls giggled and started gossiping.

"Wow sis, never thought that more beautiful girls will be joining our club. Surely, those men upstairs will go gaga this time."

"Oh my, no male joined this year. What a pity. Last year there were still 3 men who joined us, but now there is none."'

"Well, look up, this time there are so many more male members in the fencing club."

"Hmpft, they are getting more outrageous, at least last year they still have the decency to pretend that they are not looking, this time it's obviously ogling, as if their eyes might just pop out!"

"Haha! Well, what can we do? we are undeniably the most gorgeous beings they have ever laid their eyes on."

Then the girls started giggling more. Covering their mouths with their hands and looking up coyly, openly flirting with their eyes. From this, one can say that obviously, the swimming club is where the most vain but beautiful girls in campus congregate.

Serena glanced up quickly, and true to their words, she saw from the corner of her eyes that most of the boys were openly staring at them like vultures.

"Hey hey, did you just see Mr. Kylo and Mr. Charlton? did they just look my way?" the girl beside Serena exclaimed while fanning her face with her hands.

Hearing the name, Serena's back straightened. 'did he see me? Wait I must fix my posture.'

Serena consciously raised her right arm sweeping her hair to the side so that her slightly wavy golden hair were atop her right breast leaving a clear view of her collar bones and swan like neck. When she felt that her move and posture was seductive enough, she looked at where the girl was peeking.

Her effort was not in vain. Her eyes zeroed in on Charlton who was also looking at her with his brows furrowed. 'Am I too far away for him not to see properly? I should just make him notice me then.'

Serena directly looked at Charlton, she smiled at him cutely, her eyes crinkling as she waved her fingers and mouthed 'hi'.

'I can't believe I let Kylo convince me to join this club. Most of the boys here doesn't even know how to hold a sword. And although I must admit that looking through the balcony and seeing scantily clad maidens have its appeal, I'm tired of those games we used to play.' Charlton thought as he looked at the boys leaning forward at the rails as if even missing a glimpse will make their world end.'

"What's with that look? It's not like we haven't been like that once upon a time." Kylo said jokingly.

"Don't remind me. Just looking at them make me feel embarrased as a man. Anyway, there's not much to see down there. I've seen more" Charlton replied with a smirk.

"You will eat your words if you look now."

Following Kylo's eyes, Charlton first saw her golden mane. Then her form fitting attire showing too much skin. Further down he saw her long, straight and slender legs. He can't stop his face from turning red, to white, to green, then finally settling to a sour look as if he just drank a pitcher of vinegar.

'Is that Serena? What is she doing wearing that? Does Leonard know?' Although he admits that he is more than pleased with her look, he doesn't appreciate the fact that this view is being shared with all the boys there.

When Serena raised her arm and moved her hair, he can't help but swallow. His adam's apple bobbing. The whiteness of her exposed skin made him want to go down and cover her with his own body. However, when she looked up at him, smiled and waved with her dainty fingers he couldn't stop his brows from furrowing.

'Did Serena just openly flirt with me while all these people are staring? Is she in her right mind? What's going on in that head of hers?' Charlton asked himself baffled. He felt Kylo elbow him.

"Hey Charlie, should I really start calling you Lancelot?" Kylo teased him.

"Stop that Kylo, it's not funny." Charlton grimaced. Not wanting to look rude, he nodded his head at Serena as he walked away, Kylo tailing him.

"What? What happened to you? If I were in your shoes, I'll just go and give it to her." Kylo said as he laughed.

"What the hell are you saying Kylo, don't you forget that she's our cousin's fiancé and the sister of our friend."

"Just saying. What's so bad about that? Look, she fancies you, and I highly doubt that you don't find her attractive. We're young and can afford to be wild. She joined the swimming club, what does that say about her? If not you, then I don't know which lucky bastard will try to get under her skirt. Besides, at the very least she can experience more than just being directly stuck with our iceberg cousin in the future. If it were me she gives that look to, ha! I'll just go dive in and grab a taste." Kylo laughed half joking, half serious.

"Stop that. You're making too much assumption. If Leonard were ever to hear you besmirching his sister's reputation..."

"Of course, he will never hear nor know. Will you tell him? Now, I, for sure know that when, and I'm saying when and not if, you decide to have a bite of that forbidden apple, I'll cover for you. I'll even cheer you on. Then that prick of a cousin of ours can have a taste of his own medicine. Tit for tat."

"What did he do to you?" Charlton asked confused.

"Well, nothing much. It's just that I sometimes want to push him off his high horse. Such a pretentious bastard. Thankfully, I need not suffer his almighty self this year. I don't know how you and Leonard ever cope."

"I never thought that you have been holding so much grudge. Where did that bad blood come from?"

"Haha! Nothing really, just annoyed that he gets all the better girls. I still love him dude. By the way, what ever happened with your talk with him?

"He didn't want to talk about it. You know how stubborn he can get. Well, what can I do? force him to break up with that girl? I don't even have any idea who she is."

"Well right. It's not like we haven't got our fair share of those kinds of affair."

"Well you did, but I haven't. My conscience is clear."

Kylo laughed at Charlton then patted his back. "Soon my friend... soon..."
