Secret has it...

Chapter 2: Uncomfortable

Chapter 2

Kayleigh

My head is going to literarily explode. I feel irritated and I want to lock Kenna out of our hotel room. She can’t shut up about Colin when we are in our hotel room. It's getting a bit annoying actually.

As I open my suitcase, I feel everything in my head spinning. "What the hell is this? This is not the clothes I packed!" I shout through the room and marsh towards the bathroom where Lacey and Kenna are.

"Oh yeah, about that... We threw out your clothes and bought you new", Kenna says. "You can't keep dressing yourself like that".

"And I'm supposed to dress like this?!" I explode holding up a pair of tight mini shorts and a green tank top. 

"Exactly!" Kenna says.

"It's not me! It's you two!" I say trying to keep my anger under control.

"It's yours as well, you just don't know it yet, now you can show up your beautiful perfect body, and not hide it in your boys shirts and basketball shorts", Lacey says. 

"Excuse me what? Did I just hear you diss my clothes?" I ask.

They just laugh and I can't hold myself from laughing either, even though I'm actually really angry. They had no right to do this without asking me.

“You’re very beautiful Kayleigh, but when you dress in those clothes, you do it to try to hide yourself”, Lacey says. “Stop limit yourself and start live the life you want to live”.

If I don't use these clothes, I don't have any clothes at all. Maybe they’re right about the fact that I try to limit myself. I don’t feel beautiful, so why should I dress like I feel beautiful?

I sprint back to my suitcase to look for my bathing suits, but I can't find any. Oh f**k! What I do find is minimal neon green, red, pink, purple and orange bikinis. What the f**k?! I never use bikinis; I always only use bathing suits.

My legs fail to hold me up and I sink down onto the floor on my knees as I feel the anger come back. I hate this. I don't like to show other people my body. They have nothing to do with my body and what it looks like. It's my body, isn't it? Why should other people see it? That's why I'm comfortable in bathing suits, and not bikinis. What am I going to do now?

"Uuuggh", I shout and throw back the bikinis in the suitcase.

"Oh, come on, don't be so dramatic", Kenna says as she walks into the room and grabs her red towel. "Come on, we're going to the pool".

"I can't go to the pool, are you crazy?" I ask.

"It's not like you're going naked, you have bikinis", she says.

"Which is basically standing in bra and panties, and that's basically naked, I don't like that, why couldn't you let me keep my bathing suits?" I ask.

"Because old people and children uses bathing suits, and competitive swimmers like Lacey, not people like you and I", Kenna says.

Yeah, Lacey uses them during practice and competitions, but not like this, now she's also wearing a bikini as she walks out of the bathroom and grabs her pink towel. I realize that I have no other option than to use one of the bikinis. I choose the green one because green is my absolute favorite color in the world. Maybe it's silly to have a favorite color, but I don't care, green is my favorite.

I sigh as I pick it up and walk to the bathroom. I strip out of my clothes and put on the bikini which fits perfectly onto my body. I walk out very uncomfortable while frowning.

"Perfect!" Lacey and Kenna say.

"You're kidding right?" I ask in disbelief.

"No, now you can see your slim but fit body and your beautiful bellybutton piercing", Lacey says. 

Ugh. Yeah exactly why I have one I don't really get. It was my first and only stupid decision in high school. I was tired of being called a geek, so I got a bellybutton piercing. Now the reasons just feel stupid, even though it really is cute.

"Whatever", I mumble as I pick up my green towel from my suitcase.

Kenna jumps up from the couch and shouts. "Yay! Now off we go to the pool, I hope that the guys are there, I really want to see Colin again”.

I sigh. “Are boys all you can think of?”

“No”, Kenna says. “Colin is all I can think of”.

Yay, I think sarcastically. The last thing I’m thinking about is boys. 

We walk out of our hotel room and find our way to the pool area and find three sun chairs and put our towels on them before laying down.

“Look who we've got here", a new but familiar voice says devilish.

Oh no. I look up and see the three boys from the bus, Theo, Colin and Jeremy, walk towards us. I had kind of hoped that they would skip the pool, that was a naïve thought though, because I knew they wouldn’t. 

Lacey and Kenna shoot up from the chairs and starts blinking. I know that they are my best friends, but I think that they just look stupid when they do that. I don’t get it. Blinking with your eyes, pulling you hair. Like seriously.

I feel like this isn’t going to end well, they are going to fall in love and maybe get hurt. We don’t know these guys; they could be the sweetest or they could be heartbreakers. I wouldn’t want to take the chance, but if Lace and Kenna wants to, I can’t stop them.
