Read Unraveling of Avery Snow, The for Free Online Page B

cute today. He always was, but he had just shaved and the sun hit his eyes in such a way that they sparkled. He grabbed me then and put me over his shoulder. I squealed as he jumped in the pool, taking me with him. Luckily I had my bathing suit on underneath.
    We swam and kissed for what seemed like hours. It was nice to have the privacy of the house all to ourselves. I lay on the deck in my suit while Dallas made more drinks. Once I closed my eyes, I fought the urge to fall asleep. The sun felt relaxing on my pale skin and made me feel so comfortable. Just then, I felt a few drips of cold on my bare stomach and sat up. I now faced a blonde girl with bright green eyes. She was beautiful and fit. Her body put mine to shame.
    “Hi,” she said as she held a drink right above me. “I’m Rene. Landon’s , um, friend I guess.” Giggling like a schoolgirl, she sat next to me. I sat up, holding my hand against my eyes to block the bright sun. She wore a blue suit that showed way more skin than necessary but she still looked stunning.
    “I’m Avery, Dallas is my boyfriend.” I shook her hand.
    “Oh yeah, he told me who you were. Aren’t we so lucky? They both are so hot, right?” She giggled again and I laughed too for her sake. I didn’t look at it the same way she did. I felt lucky to have a man of Dallas’ caliber as my partner, not because he was hot. Granted he was super-hot, but that wasn’t what made me proud to be his.
    “So what do you do?” A change of subject was in order.
    “Oh, not much really. I just graduated, so I am looking for a job,” she said as she sipped her cocktail.
    “ What did you study?” I asked, wondering where my fresh cocktail was. It wasn’t hard to guess that she sipped the drink that was meant for me.
    “You know, the basic stuff. I am just so happy to be done.” I was so confused. She studied basic stuff in college. There was something off about this one.
    “You didn’t have a major?”
    “I don’t know if you can major in my high school. What does that mean?” Okay that made sense. She was just a high school graduate. Wow, Landon knew how to pick them.
    “Excuse me one second,” I said as I marched into the house. Landon and Dallas were in the kitchen making salsa when I stopped in front of them. They both looked up at me like I had two heads.
    “Anyone want to tell me why a teenager is outside drinking my Piña Colada?”
    “Calm down ! She’s 21,” Landon said arrogantly.
    “No , Landon, she just graduated high school.” His mouth fell open. He turned and met Rene outside.
    “Not cool,” Dallas said as he put down the tomatoes. He looked out at the scene outside and my phone rang. “Be right back , it’s Kerri calling.” I walked upstairs to the bedroom and answered.
    “Hey , Kerri.”
    “What’s wrong? Y ou don’t sound happy.” She was my best friend for a reason; she knew when I was irritated by the sound in my voice.
    I laughed. “You know same ‘ole weird drama. Everything okay with you?”
    “Well , my mom is very unhappy that I went dress shopping without her. I tried to do it when she was in town, but it’s practically impossible.” Kerri’s parents were very wealthy and traveled all the time. Her mother was hardly ever around.
    “So , needless to say, my mother is unhappy. But on a good note, we are having a luncheon tomorrow and I want you there.” Aha that’s why she called.
    “Let me get this straight . Your mom is coming into town, and you want me there to keep things even tempered?”
    “Very good , my friend. You do know me well,” she said. I laughed and agreed. Why not go? I did like her mom even though she could be a bit funny with tradition at times.
    “Oh , one more thing. Justin’s mom will be coming as well.”
    “What do you want me to wear?” If I knew Kerri , she was going all out to make an impression on Justin’s mom. I knew I had to look just as impeccable as she did.
    “Let Ianni pick out something. Oh
