my boyfriend. I just wanted him to be.
    Reality versus Fantasy. Scrawny knees versus bouncy boobs. Apples versus Oranges.
     I was almost sure if she didn't stop bouncing up and down they'd eventually pop out of her bikini top and hit her in the face. I heard Kaleb laugh under his breath, like he was imagining that scenario or something.
    “Get on with it,” I said, aggravated.
    “Okay, Spider-man or Sponge-bob?”
    “Doesn't matter.”
    “Of course it does.”
    “Fine,” I snarled. “Strawberry frickin' Shortcake.”
    He grinned. “Actually, I believe I do have Strawberry Shortcake in here somewhere. And— It's waterproof.”  
    “Yippie.”
    “Cheer up,” he said, unwrapping the bandage and gently applying it to my knee. He rubbed it in place with delicate pressure. The contact of his fingertips against my knee sent a warm sensation through my body. “It's a great day today.” He gazed up at me.
    “You would say that, wouldn't you?”
    “I take it that you don't agree.” He closed the first aid kit.  Ready to disappear from him, I jumped up too quickly and stumbled. He caught me. My head was still spinning.
    “Whoa,” he said. “Gravity.”
    “Yeah,” I agreed, not really knowing what he even meant. Humiliated enough, I turned away and joined Gunner and Miss Boob-bop with the volleyball game. I had a mean spike and if she didn't stop staring at Kaleb, I was going to make sure the ball landed and smashed her in the face, if her boobs didn't do it first.
     
     
     

CHAPTER FIVE

    I sprawled out in the grass, leaning back on my elbows. I watched Kayleigh play the volleyball game. I needed to jump into the lake. I just knew I was going to be sunburned. I was really regretting not wearing sunscreen now.
    Kayleigh seemed aggressive, like she needed to let out frustration. She noticed I was staring at her, and instead of serving the ball over the net, she turned in my direction and struck it forcefully, sending it sailing directly at me. I caught it just in time before it hit my face.
    Everyone playing the game looked at her wondering why she'd done that. I leapt to my feet and sauntered over to her. “I guess this was my invitation to play?” I tossed the volleyball up into the air, she reached up and grabbed it.
    “Are we gonna play the game or what?” Ashley asked, annoyed.
    “I think the game's over,” Gunner said, walking over to where Kayleigh and I stood staring at each other. “This is my ball anyway,” he took it from her, and walked to his van. The other players of the game sighed or groaned and dispersed themselves in various different places, finding new activities to do. Kayleigh and I were alone again.
    “I wanna know why you're so angry,” I said.
    “I'm not.”
    “You seem mad at me.”
    “What makes you say that?”
    “Kayleigh, it's obvious,” I smirked. “If you want my attention, just say so.”
    She wasn't able to give a reply because Ashley reappeared beside me, holding a bottle of suntan lotion. “Kaleb, can you rub this on my back?”
    “Sure,” I said, still looking at Kayleigh. I could've sworn I seen her sneer or roll her eyes. I took the lotion from Ashley. She lifted up her hair. I squeezed the lotion into my hand and rubbed it onto her shoulders.
    “Ah!” she squealed. “ So cold.”  
    Kayleigh turned away and walked down to the lake. My eyes followed her all the way to the dock. I watched her pull off her halter, revealing her polka dot bikini top. I found myself wanting to see Kayleigh in her bikini bottoms too. I almost forgot I was rubbing lotion on Ashley's back.
    From somewhere nearby, someone blasted on music, jerking me out of my daze.
    “Hey, can I borrow this?” I asked Ashley.
    “Yeah, take it. I have another one.”
    “Thanks.”
    I was about to jog down to the lake when a guy shouted my name. I followed the voice and realized it was Gunner. He was standing by his trunk. With a wave of the hand, he motioned for me to come
