Hey, she didn't say no.

Easton, do you actually know anything about this girl? Like, what do you even talk about together?

You don't know her at all. You're hung up on the idea of Nova, not the real Nova.

Because you have an addictive personality and you're addicted to female validation. Huh? You're addicted to the dopamine rush you get when a pretty girl gives you attention. You don't need a date to prom. You need to look inward and build up your self-esteem. That's what I've been trying to tell you.

Over Easton's shoulder, I watch Nova reach out and hold Valerie's hand, trying to pull her in. Then Val sees me watching and quickly pulls her hand away from Nova. The look on her face is guilty. Is she hiding something from me? That mean laugh. Savannah. I have to ask Savannah something, so I'll see you guys later. Hi, Savannah. Hi, Savannah's mean friends.

I want to try out for the swim team again. Hmm. No. Sav, you're down a swimmer, I'm mono-free, I have experience, and I know you're dying to beat that school in San Francisco.

I'm just dying to get involved in some extracurricular activities.

Savannah wants to act like we barely know each other, but that isn't true. As she walks away, I catch her smiling to herself. If I was an optimist, I'd think she's smiling because she wants me on the team, but I'm not an optimist, and neither is she. I think back to my first swim tryout, and I begin to regret my decision. What does Savannah have in store for me? Am I making a huge mistake?

There's no skimpy bikini waiting for me in the locker room. No recordings of my cam girl days. No laughing rich girls. I put on a cove swimsuit and brace myself for whatever's waiting in the pool area. Savannah is alone by the pool. Her arms are crossed, but at least she isn't surrounded by her groupies.

If I make the team, do I also have to start talking down to everyone, or do you guys just do that for fun? Get in the water, Ella.
