“It’s the sea!” Nicholas said in excitement as soon as the bus they hired drop them off.
Nicholas ran off to the sea while the others followed slowly.
“Join me guys” Nicholas said calling them but they all refused even Joanna who also wanted to join him.
As soon as the plane landed, Francis had gotten out of his seat with out saying a thing to her and through the ride and every thing, he had ignored her completely.
She was still starring at him and didn’t notice the wet Nicholas walking towards her until he lifted her, heading to the sea to throw her in it.
Joanna resurfaced dripping wet while Nicholas laughed.
“Are you crazy! Don’t you know she could fall…..” Mirabel couldn’t get to finish her sentence because Joanna herself pulled her into the water.
“It’s great ! ” Joanna said splattering water over Nicholas and Mirabel who did the same.
While the three of them had fun the others made way to their room.
Francis rolled his eyes at them, angry at the fact that Joanna wasn’t bothered about their current situation before sauntering off.
Pierce followed suit while Theo accompanied one of Evelyn friends intent on doing one thing.
“Childish” Evelyn muttered beside her friend.
“They seem to be having fun” Jessica replied starring at the three of them who were still playing In the sea.
“If that is what you call fun then I don’t want to have fun at all” Evelyn said turning to leave only to bump into Jocelyn.
“Can’t you watch where you are going?” Evelyn asked glaring at Jocelyn.
“You should watch yours instead” Jocelyn returned fiercely glaring at her and pushing past her before walking off.
“What’s her deal?” Evelyn asked.
“She was glaring at you when she walked in to find you seated by Francis side. She must probably like Francis” Jessica said.
“Impossible, Jocelyn has a thing with Pierce” Evelyn returned.
“Is that what you think, I think differently though” Jessica replied as they both made their way back to their room.
It was a while later that Joanna change into dry clothes, she was drying her hair when she received a text from the group Chat Nicholas created.
★COME DOWN TO THE POOL SIDE FOR A BARBECUE NIGHT ★
Joanna didn’t feel like going but the knock on her door revealing Mirabel, made her attempt futile.
“Common, lighten up a bit. I know Jocelyn is around making it hard for you to be with Pierce but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have fun” Mirabel said to her as they made their way to the beach.
Joanna whose thought had been filled with Francis frowned a bit after hearing what Mirabel said.
Francis had occupy her thought that she had no thought left for Pierce.
“Lighten up Jojo, This weekend Is for us to do that” Mirabel added and Joanna nodded wondering why Francis filled her thoughts instead of Pierce.

Jocelyn who offered to go check up on Francis who hadn’t arrived was on her way to his room when Evelyn obstructed her path.
“Where are you going?” Evelyn asked.
“Get out of my way” Jocelyn said.
“If you are going to check up on Francis then I suggest you don’t do that cause he is on his way and if you are perhaps wondering how I know that, it’s because I just spent the few hours we were all apart in his room” Evelyn said maliciously angering Jocelyn.
“You are really getting on my nerves” Jocelyn said.
“Oh really? Is it because Francis is paying me attention instead of doing that with you?” Evelyn asked.
“That must hurt but you can cope with Pierce, after all he’s head over heels in love with you. Settling to be with him wouldn’t be that bad” Evelyn added and turned to leave when Jocelyn pulled her by hair.
“You Ɓîtçh! How dare you tell me what to do? What do you know about my relationship with Francis ? A slut like you doesn’t even deserves to be here” Jocelyn yelled at her.
“Arrrghhh! Let go of me! Let go!” Evelyn said and when Jocelyn hand tighten on her hair, Evelyn also took hold of Jocelyn hair.
They both began struggling, calling each other names and that was how Joanna and Mirabel saw them when they arrived.
“They are fighting, Lets do some thing” Joanna said moving towards the two girls.
Due to her strong fist,she managed to pull the two girls apart.
“And why are you meddling in this?” Evelyn yelled at Joanna and before Joanna could stop them, they both came at her pulling her hair.
Joanna tried pushing them off but the three of them ended up falling into the pool.
“Arrrgh!” They all screamed the cold water hit them.
Joanna who was finding it hard to swim due to her foot which still hurt ended up sinking down the water and when she thought she would drown,she felt someone arms wrap around her, swimming up with her.
It wasn’t until they were out of the water that she realized that it was Francis.
“Are you okay?” Francis asked her but when she kept coughing, he carried her into his arms bridal style and went back to their hotel room leaving Evelyn and Jocelyn in the water while the others help them out.
