When I think about what happened when we were at the beach this summer, I feel a bit bad. I admit that it all was a way to get back at her after she made all her friends laugh at me at this stupid party. I didn't want to go to this party anyway, I hate all these people, and her insulting my family was the limit. Usually I would have just ignored a "funny" remark like this, I heard so many already, but this time it hurt me unexpectedly. Mostly because the only reason I went to the party was her. I know she's a real attention whore and a right bitch most of the time, but somehow that's what makes me feel strangely attracted to her in the first place. That air she has that makes her appear to be in charge all the time. That makes her seem invulnerable, even when it's very clear that things are getting out of hand and she is on the losing end.
The way her too short skirt rides up her thigh while she's dancing until you see her bare pantyless ass. You can see from the way she curls up the corners of her mouth that she knows exactly what's happening and that she loves it. How she loves being on display for the whole crowd. How she loves the invisible hands that touch her under her shirt and skirt while she dances, covered in sweat and spilt booze. Letting guys get near enough to be able to kiss her, giving them hope that she will go further than kissing. Then she'll just turn her back on them, moving on to the next one, leaving them behind in despair. She doesn't know how much she turns me on. Nor how much I would like to be with her, or better, how I would like to be her.
That night I went home early, first almost crying but later very angry at her for being such a bitch. And I swore that I would get back at her. When she asked me to join her for a swim I decided that this would be my chance. I wondered why she even asked me. Is she that evil or just stupid, I wondered. Of course now I know the answer. She doesn't have many friends. The guys only want to hang around her in case she shows some skin or goes out of bounds when she is drunk, while the girls... well, most girls don't like it when one of them is sucking all the attention all the time so they tend to avoid her.
