So Scared of Getting Older, I'm Only Good at Being Young

"Rise and shine, ladies!" A loud trumpet sounded throughout the intercom that was placed in each of the bedrooms. "Dress in swimsuits, or something that you can get wet." I heard Matt's voice over the intercom. I pulled the blanket tighter around my body, and shoved my head under the pillow.

"Lynne, get your ass up!" Jamie exclaimed.
"Shut up, whore!" I yelled.
"Don't make me go get a bucket of water!" She shouted back.
"God forbid." I mumbled, sitting up.

I rubbed my eyes, opening them slowly. Jamie, Jen and Miranda were crowded around the sink, putting on make up and doing their hair.

"Why? We're going to get wet anyways." I told them.
"We gotta look good either way!" Miranda exclaimed.

I changed into my plain black bikini, and threw my long brown hair into a pony tail.

"First challenge today. You excited?" Jen asked.
"Not the least bit." I smirked, slipping on flip-flops.
"Of course you aren't, brighten up a lil'." Jen smiled, patting me on the back.

We followed the mass of girls down the stairs, and lined up in the entry way of the door, where Alex was standing in front of us. I sighed and rolled my eyes, beginning to pick at my finger nails.

The cameras were rolling; I felt my cheeks heat up.

"Alright, today; is our first challenge. You'll be in groups, according to the people you're roommates with." Alex paused, giving Jack a knowing look. He disappeared for a quick second, and came back with a bucket filled with Nerf and water guns.

"First challenge; you'll be an obstacle course. You'll use the guns to hit opponents, and once you're hit, you're out. Whatever two teams makes it to the finish line, you win a date with me." Alex grinned. "Let's get this started." He clapped his hands.

"Oh, fun." I mumbled, walking over to the bucket.
"Nerf or water?" Jen asked, holding both up. Alex eyed us.
"Water." I nodded, picking a water gun up.
"Let's go fill these bad boys up!" I pumped my fists in the air, running out of the house and to the backyard. Jamie, Miranda and Jen followed close behind.

We filled them up, and joined the rest of the girls on the patio.

"Alex just eye fucked the shit out of you." Jen whispered in my ear.
"Oh, I'm surprised." I mocked.
"We have to win." Jamie nodded.
"For real, we can't lose the first challenge!" Miranda whined.
"We will win, just, don't get hit." I said coolly.

"Alright, first teams up; Miranda, Jamie, Lynne and Jen." Alex paused, looking at us. I reluctantly followed them up to the starting line. "Next team; Kaitlyn, Rachael, Madison and Courtney." They followed up, glaring at us.

"Ladies, get your guns ready..." Alex paused, "And go!"

I tugged Jamie's wrist as we took off. I dodged the Nerf balls aimed my way, and shot down Courtney on the other team. I grinned, and ran faster towards the finish line. Miranda and Jen followed close behind me, shooting down Kaitlyn.

I felt out of breath. My chest heaved up and down. I hadn't ran this much since eighth grade gym class. Jen had gotten shot down, just as I passed the finish line.

"Kaitlyn, and Courtney." Alex tisked, winking at them. "Winners are team one!" Alex cheered, grinning at the four of us. My heart fluttered. "Next teams, three and four, whatever one wins this, you go on a date with me tomorrow." Alex nodded.

I walked towards the bench, sitting down next to Jen.

"We fucking won." I sighed.
"I fucking love you, you owned that course like a beast!" Jamie exclaimed.
"Jen, you got shot down!" Miranda laughed.
"Shut up, I hate all of you." Jen frowned, leaning back.
"Date tonight, I wonder where he's taking us." I mused, fiddlings with the strings on my bikini bottoms.
