บท 13: Hot girl summer

Lilaac's POV

It's a beautiful day of summer and I'm having an absolute blast with my friends. We are at the beach having a party and playing volleyball. So this is why people loved college. I could never dream of this in high school. I see of the girls tanning in their bikini. They urged to join them and it sure look like fun. If only I had the confidence to wear that stuff in public. I make an excuse and slip away from them. I'd love to join them one day , just not today. The sun was warm against my skin as I strolled along the sandy shore laughter echoing in the salty breeze. I closed my eyes for a moment and focus on feeling the breeze and listening to the sound of waves . It's always so calming, melting away all the worries with the tide .

I wish Diane was here with me . As we kept spending time together she kinda grew on me . Now I felt like something is missing without her . I went almost everywhere with her and when I return from the campus , I expect her to be there . We just connect and with her around, I don't feel lonely. But for one reason, she was set on avoiding the beach. She is really stubborn when she decided on something. She kept making excuses and won't give a proper reason. At some point, I learnt to drop it . I mean if she doesn't want to say it then that's it . I don't see the point in bugging her . She'll tell me if it's important . The thing about her is that she just seems more and more awesome as I got to know her. She doesn't even sleep around as I suspected earlier. In fact she's so strict with herself and spend most of her time doing college works and assignment. Also , I just found out that she have two majors and she's top of both . I just don't understand how she even get her reputation. I don't see how she's like what people said about her . Sure she did have a lot of people following her around but that's just what happen to preety girls. I don't see how it even benifits her in any way . She even seemed annoyed at the attention sometimes .I think everything is just exaggerated .

I suddenly heard loud voices and turned to check it . It seems like Mihui is having an argument with Minah . There's also a guy . I wonder what happened.

I rushed in to check the situation and Minah looks really mad .

" Why are you always ruining the fun? Something is wrong with you . Why can't you be normal like everyone else ? This is why I don't want to hang out with you . You're embarassing me with your party pooper attitude." Mihui shouted furiously.

" Me? Embarassing you ? You're the one embarassing me with your loose behaviour." Minah retorted enraged.

" Just who do you think you are ? Why did you keep trying to control me ? I'm a grown woman and I can do whatever I want. Stop acting like you are always right?" Mihui snapped back .

" Maybe I won't be telling you what to do if you know how to behave yourself for once ." Minah argued further.

By now people start giving us looks. The two of them don't seem like they'll stop anytime soon . At last we manage to saparate them and leave the beach . Shelly went with Mihui and I end up going with Minah and Pranita. It's best if they cool off first before seeing each other . We went and get some ice cream to calm Minah. On the way Pranita fill me in with the information about their fight. Apparently Mihui asked a guy to help her put sunscreen and they get really intimate to the point it gets inappropriate. So Minah intervened and ask him to leave. Mihui doesn't want him to leave and they got into an argument.

" Do you think what did was wrong? I just don't want my sister to be seen as a loose women. I know I might've overstep but I only want the best for her ." Minah said softly.

" It's not who's wrong and who's right. I think you should talk it out with Mihui. It's you guys against the world. Sisters need to stick together. I'm sure everything will be fine ."

I soothe her .

" I don't know...we never seem to agree on anything." She replied.

" Actually let me tell .. you about our family.." Minah continued.
