"I'll stay here with him," I said.
"You're seriously passing on more time with Daphne?" Matt asked. "I don't believe my ears."
I shrugged. "Yeah. She's all yours. Good luck with that."
"Really? What made you change your mind?"
"She's not my type." Maybe Matt fucking her would somehow get that stick out of her ass. Not that I wished that bitch on anyone.
James put his book down. "I thought you really liked her. She seems really nice."
"She's actually not nice at all."She's a total cunt."But yeah, she fooled me for a bit. Glad I found out early on."
James shrugged. "I guess."
"I'll just stay here too then," Mason said.
Matt stood up. "No way. Someone is coming with me. What is wrong with you guys? It's our last day here. Let's go crazy."
Mason laughed. "My crazy days are over. The only reason I agreed to go to dinner last night was to try and convince Layla to come back and be the spokesperson for Sword Body Wash. But she's made up her mind. Pestering her more won't do any good."
"Please?"
"I think I was plenty crazy last night," James said. "I'm going to pass on doing anything wild today." He picked up his book again.
"Besides, I don't think Alina's going to sleep with you," Mason said.
"Is that a challenge?" Matt asked.
Mason frowned. "No."
"Fine. Pool day it is. I'm going to go swim laps. You're all so lame."
"I will, however, join you for that." Mason and Matt both walked over to the pool.
I closed my eyes and rested the back of my head against the pool chair.
"What really happened last night?" James asked.
I kept my eyes closed. "Nothing."
"It couldn't have been nothing. You really liked her. I could tell. What changed your mind?"
"Really, it was nothing. I just didn't think she was worth pursuing."
"I don't really remember last night. Did I say something?"
I opened my eyes and leaned forward. "No. It wasn't anything you did. You're good."
"So just tell me what happened. Maybe I could help somehow? She really did seem nice. I think if you gave her another chance..."
"Just drop it, okay?"
"I just don't see why you would have changed your mind if..."
"Look, she completely lost it. I'm pretty sure she's crazy. I don't know what you said to her but she just kept talking about how you needed help. She doesn't even know you. She just assumed that you were an addict."
"So it was my fault."
