Everyone saw me shove Adam into the pool.
Heart sinking, I turned back to see Adam sputtering in the water, bobbing up with his hair slicked back, his tux pressed to his body. But he was grinning. The jerk grinned from ear to ear, making easy strokes through the pool to me.
We were going to be in so much trouble.
"Adam?" I wet my lips, my voice shaky. "Um—Adam—"
"You keep me on my toes, ice princess!"
My hands shook, and I dropped my heels. I was only too aware of everybody with their phones around me. This wasn’t the pie contest in front of a few RAs or getting shushed at the back of a van. This was public. Right in front of everyone and their phones.
Nobody was high-fiving me after this.
"Hey…buddy," I said to him like I was calling an old dog.
"Hey, buddy?" Adam repeated, laughing, swimming up to the pool’s edge. "We’re buddies now?"
I knelt as far as I could and held out a hand. He was six inches taller than me and all muscle, I couldn’t hope to help him up, but it’d look so much better to everybody around us.
"Adam, I’m so sorry." I tried to raise my voice a little so everybody could hear me. "That was dumb and childish, and I should’ve been thinking—"
"I’ve got you beat, ice princess."
"What?"
Adam grabbed my hand and yanked me into the pool.

Fuck it. If we were doing this, I was going all the way.
Check the record. Piper pushed me first. It was only right that I returned the favor. She bobbed up to the surface and started yelling immediately. Her blonde hair framed her face as she jabbed a finger at my chest. After catching my breath again, I remembered something.
"Oh, shit." I frowned. "Your phone. I didn’t ruin your phone, did I?"
"That’s all you have to say to me?!"
"We’ll pay for it," I promised immediately. "I’ll pay for it, don’t worry."
"No! I—I left my phone back at the dorm!"
My frown deepened. "Why?"
She splashed me, but that didn’t answer my question. I didn’t understand why she would leave her phone in the dorm. Didn’t she want to take photos or something?
Someone cleared their throat next to the pool.
“Hey.” June didn’t look at all happy to see us. She crouched down, careful to keep her voice low. “Guys, come here.”
"June, I’m so sorry," Piper threw me a mean look. "I’m this close to tying him up and stuffing him in the trunk."
I shook my head. "Don’t put your fetish shit on me, Piper. You haven’t even taken me out to dinner."
"You are the worst!"
