Getting Your Feet Wet

[laura]

It seemed like a risky thing to have in a place like this but Laura wasn't about to complain. She had been quiet surprised to find that this school had a swimming pool. Though she couldn't help but wonder how many of the crazies had tried to drown themselves in here. It was a very unsettling thing to think about and so she tried to push it to the back of her mind. Given this certainly wasn't the nicest looking pool that Laura had ever seen, it still held water and looked to be clean. Which seemed like two of the most important qualities for a swimming pool to have.

With a towel slung over her shoulder Laura made her way along the side of the pool until she found a dry spot to leave her towel. She slipped off her shorts and pulled her black tank off over her head, leaving her in a light blue bikini. She set her clothes under her towel to make sure they would stay dry while she swam. Once she was sure her things with safely positioned she walked over to the edge of the pool and dipped her foot into the water to test the temperature. It was warm but not bath water warm. There was nothing worse than a pool that was too warm, it just wasn't refreshing that way.

Raising her arms above her head Laura jumped into the air and turned her body so that she was diving down into the water. There was a slight splash as she cut through the surface and disappeared into the water below. Laura swam under water to the other side of the pool before she finally emerged from the water. It was so quiet and peaceful here that Laura could see the pool quickly becoming her favourite place to hang out while she was at this school.

Laura laid backwards so that she was floating on top of the water and let her eyes fall shut. It was so relaxing just laying there, thinking of nothing. Laura could almost pretend that she was no longer at this school but back home at some party surrounded by people more like her, non insane people.

Sick of the probing… sick of the questions…

Mora was in a totally bad mood; she wasn’t going to take any crap from anybody. She was sick of people judging her and making her out to be some sort of whore. Yes, she had made mistakes in the past, but so what? Hasn’t everybody? Mora wasn’t any worse than all the other students in Rosedale, so why on earth were they always pestering her? She had never once heard any of her friends or former roommates tell her how bastard-like the psychiatrists had been toward them. Did the academy have some sort of Vendetta against her?

She entered the pool area, hoping to be alone and not be close to anyone. No one ever went to the pool at these times, so maybe she would be able to sit back and relax. She didn’t need her friends to mess with her or try to console her. Their words, or anyone’s for that matter, would just piss her off even more.

There was a splash, and she felt her skin get cold. Had she really gotten herself into this predicament? She looked over to see a figure emerge onto the service of the water, and felt ready to explode in fury as she saw who it was. Laura swam casually around the pool, and Mora’s territorial instincts kicked in. She came here to relax, and that was what she was going to do whether Laura liked it or not.

Mora kicked off one of her flats and walked over toward the side of the pool. When she got to the water’s edge, she dipped her foot in, and splashed some onto Laura without a care. Laura was another one of those angry individuals that liked to throw temper tantrums at every little thing and toss chairs out the window. Big whoop! She was a little snot in Mora’s eyes, but at the same time, if Laura was any sort of lesbian or bi-sexual bitch, Mora would have her in bed in no time.

Despite the two of them hating one another in a sense that reminded you of a high school angst film, Mora would so gladly come to an understanding if they hooked up. It would just be sex and nothing else. But of course, Laura wasn’t like that, and Mora was fed up with the girl’s attitude.

[laura]

She was actually enjoying herself it was quite peaceful just floating around on the water. It gave her a chance to forget where she was and just relax for once. So you can imagine how pissed off Laura was when she felt water get splashed on her. She opened her eyes and turned to see who had caused this disturbance. It was Mora, Laura hadn't had much to do with the girl since being here but it hadn't taken long for her to figure out why she was here. Mora was an addict but not one that Laura had ever really thought existed before. She was a sex addict, Laura had a very hard time understanding that one, or even believing it was an actual disorder. To Laura it just meant that Mora had no self control, but that was one of many things she and this girl didn't seem to see eye to eye on. "Can I help you?" Laura questioned her tone even and her eyes narrowed slightly.

Laura wasn't like Mora at all, sure she liked to play the tease and let on that all she wanted was sex but that was far from the case. Sex was just another tool Laura had to try and control people and make them do what she wanted. Her label here was something to do with anger management, which Laura thought was completely off the mark. When she thought of anger issues Laura thought of people throwing full blown tantrums, hitting people and throwing things that wasn't her at all. Laura was far more calculated than that, she manipulated than, spread rumours and gossip. Laura did anything and everything she could to get her way and some how that meant she had anger issues? It didn't really make sense to her but they insisted it was a passive form of anger management. Whatever why you wanted to say it, it was just a way to keep her here she was sure of it.

So what was Mora doing here, trying to annoy her? She wondered if the girl was looking for a fight and thought she'd get one from Laura. If that was what she was thinking she would be sorely mistaken. Sure Laura would get back at her but it wouldn't be in a way that she saw coming. Laura would wait and think about a proper plan of action before she acted and when she did it would be worth it and Mora would think twice before doing anything like this again.

[mora de ancariis]

“Can I help you?” she asked with that same tone she always used when Laura showed distaste for someone. Mora didn’t give a rat’s ass about it. She wanted Laura to leave at that minute. “Why don’t you take yourself somewhere else, La-la?” Mora remarked. “Unless you wanna be one of the many who drowned in this pool.” Mora didn’t want a fight with Laura, but she had to get her point across that she didn’t want to see her face at the moment. Laura was the type to talk shit and back it up with bogus bull shit.

Nevertheless, Mora sometimes hoped that the two of them could have gotten along better. Unfortunately they were both completely different kinds of people, and neither of them was able to understand the other’s issues. Plus, they both had tempers that no one wanted to get into the middle of. For Mora, it wasn’t that huge of an issue considering she didn’t get angry that often, but when she did, she was an all-around bitch.

Laura and Mora were like the Volcano and an Earthquake. They were both devastating to everyone around them, and there was a huge mess to clean up after the two of them have cooled down. Plus, Laura hung out with people that Mora didn’t think too fondly of. Yeah, she was a social butterfly, but that didn’t mean Mora had to like everyone. She could honestly say that if something were to happen to them, she would feel remorseful, but other than that they could screw off.

[laura]

Laura smirked at Mora when it seemed that the girl wanted to have this place to herself, even going as far as to threaten Laura to achieve it. Knowing that Mora wanted this place made Laura want to stay all the more. There was no way she would be leaving now, for two reasons. One Mora wanted it so staying here would seriously piss the girl off, which would amuse Laura. Secondly if Laura was to leave Mora would think she could control her and no one could control Laura, she did what she wanted when she wanted it was that simple. Right now Laura wanted to annoy Mora and stay right where she was. She wasn't scared of Mora so her threat meant very little to Laura. "Hmm...let me think about that..." Laura said in a thoughtful tone, that almost made you think she was seriously considering the girls request.

Paddling around in the water with a thoughtful look still on her face Laura eventually stopped and shook her head. "Sorry Mora but I think I'm going to stay." She finally replied a grin on her lips. She knew Mora wasn't going to be happy with that response and Laura was excited to see how she'd react. Mora didn't like Laura which was perfectly fine because Laura didn't care what others thought of her. Knowing that she was disliked though made her want to bother the girl even more, Laura just needed to figure out how to control Mora. "You can either go else where or hop in and join me." Laura invited doubting very much that the other girl would actually take her up on the offer. Laura could picture Mora storming out of here soon, though she had been surprised before. These crazy people were a lot harder to read than the kids from her school back home. So many of them were just unpredictable. She supposed that meant it was a challenge but honestly sometimes it was just annoying.

Laura swam over to the other side of the pool so that Mora could no longer splash any water on her. She than laid back again, making herself float on the surface of the water. She would just continue on as though the other girl wasn't there. It usually bothered people when you ignored them and that's what Laura was hoping this would do to Mora.

[mora de ancariis]

Mora clenched her jaw, and tightened her grip on the shoe she had in her hand. She fantasized about making a shoeprint across Laura’s pretty little face and see how she’s like that branded into her skin. She even went as far as imagining the horrid look on her face as she’d walk through the academy as everyone pointed and laughed at her disfigurement. Despite how much Mora wanted her wish to come true, she kicked off the other flat and walked over toward one of the folding chairs. She saw Laura’s stuff sitting all alone, and felt the impulse to grab her crap and throw it in right alongside their owner. But of course, Mora wasn’t going to stoop that low.

She wasn’t the violent type, but that didn’t mean she hadn’t been a good share of fights as a younger teenager. That didn’t mean Mora was going to jump in after the girl and drown her like she did in her fantasies. Plus, with that naughty brain of hers, Mora thought of herself doing other things to that little blond bombshell. “Maybe I should take you up on that offer,” Mora replied with a grin as she arched a brow.

As Laura swam to the other side of the pool, Mora began to undress until she was standing by the side of the pool wearing her black lace bra and a matching thong. Mora didn’t care what Laura thought of her or her body, which made the moment even more amusement as she dived into the pool. As long as Laura stayed away from her and didn’t try to start any bull shit with her, then Mora was willing to be civil. She broke the surface and folded her hair out of her face. As Laura swam on her side, she couldn’t help herself but check the girl out.

Man, Mora thought to herself. I would turn that girl out!

[laura]

Laura kept half an eye on Mora as the girl moved over toward where her things were sat. She was half expecting Mora to dump them into the pool, thankfully however that didn't happen. Mora instead said she was going to take Laura up on her offer to join her. Great, Laura thought as she rolled her eyes. The girl didn't even have a swim suit as she jumped into the pool in her under wear. At least she was covered up, Laura tried to tell herself, though Laura really didn't want Mora anywhere near her right now.

Turning her full attention toward Mora Laura looked disapproving at the other girl. "Seriously? You come to the pool without a suit? Seems sort of white trash like to me." Laura commented, having no idea what sort of economical situation Mora came from. Not that it would have changed what Laura had said but it could make her words sting more depending on how much money Mora's family actually had. Laura shook her head at the girl again before continuing her swim around the pool. She wondered how long it would take to run Mora out of her. Laura sure as hell wasn't going to be the first one to leave. As cruel as Laura could be she was twice as stubborn, she wouldn't give into anyone no matter how much she might want to at times.

Laura caught Mora checking her out which honestly didn't really bother her. She knew she was hot, hell she used that to her full advantage every chance she got, however she had never thought of using it against another girl. Laura was purely heterosexual desires and had never thought of starting something up with a girl. However Laura was a tease, it wasn't like she often delivered on anything. She just wanted people to think they had a chance because when they did they tended to be nicer to you and do whatever they thought would make you more likely to put out. Laura was curious if the same gimmick would work on Mora. She would have to wait for something she really wanted though before she tried it, because usually it was only good for one go before they realized they weren't actually going to get anything from you.

[mora de ancariis]

Mora had half the right to swim over toward Laura and duck her head under water and see how long it would take until the little blond brat stopped breathing altogether. Her snide comments were not making her feel any less pissed off than she already was, especially after her talk with the psychiatrist. During her session and interview, she was basically being made out to be some sort of low-class hooker in everyone’s eyes.

Yeah, thanks Mr. I-Got-My-Degree-At-Some-Stupid-Community-College-And-Have-Never-Gotten-Laid-By-Someone-Who-Cared-About-Me for being there when needed, you stupid prick. Just the thought of the psychiatrist made her angry, but she wasn’t about to take it out and Laura. She was a bitch, but she was still Mora’s peer. She didn’t want to hurt her, even if Laura plotted her demise as she slept.

She wanted to ignore another one of Laura’s caustic comments, but she couldn’t help herself as Mora said, “Think what you will. You know my body is bangin’ and you’re just jealous.” Of course Laura had no reason to be. Both of them were a couple pieces of asses that everyone wanted. Even Mora wanted Laura, and if Laura wasn’t such a heterosexual cunt at times, she would probably want Mora too. “How about you just keep to your damn self and I will stick to me, okay? I’m trying to cool my jets here, and despite how much it would please me to see your narrow ass leave, I’m willing to keep things civil.”

Mora flipped onto her back and began to backstroke around the pool. She calmly kicked, not splashing too much, and cleared her thoughts. She tried to forget everything her and the psychiatrist spoke about, and she definitely tried to ignore Laura’s presence on the other side of the pool.

[laura]

Laura always listened carefully to everything that people said, looking for ways to use their own words against them. It was the easiest and most effective way to get on someone's nerves. Seriously who liked hearing their words tossed back at them and being used in a totally different way than they were intended? Mora's words had left her such an opportunity and he caused a huge grin to spread across Laura's face, sometimes she had an almost sinister look on her face. She could see how some of the girls back home had thought she was complete evil. Most people would be upset by something like that and to an extent Laura was but not in a way she was willing to admit to herself. Instead Laura just took it as a good thing, something she was almost proud of.

Laura stayed on her side of the pool as Mora had asked because really there was no need to put herself in arms reach of this girl. "Hmm so you're such a horn dog you stick yourself? God I'm glad you're not my room mate." Laura said in a serious tone as she shook her head. Maybe it was a cheap blow but Laura honestly didn't care as long as it was effective on some level it was worth it. It was true though Laura was very happy she was not room mates with Mora. Instead Laura had a room mate who seemed to be scared of everything even her shadow...given that was an over statement but the girl really was scared of a lot. It worked out well for Laura though because she stayed out of her way. If she and Mora had some how ended up as room mates Laura was quite positive one of them would have landed in a hospital by now.

Mora seemed to be looking for the same thing from the pool today. The both seemed to want to relax and really it would have been easy enough to let the girl do just that. The two of them could easily co-exist in the pool and not bother one another, but that wasn't the point. Laura did not to have Mora here out of principal. Laura had been here first and than the brunette had showed up and demanded that Laura leave, she was going to pay for that command. Laura could do very spiteful.

[mora de ancariis]

“I am so tired of this bitch,” Mora muttered under her breath. She didn’t care whether or not Laura heard her or not, she was fed up with the girl’s attitude. If Laura wasn’t going to attempt to be civil, neither was Mora.

Mora wanted to ignore Laura’s comment. She was always a snot, and she loved to mix people’s words into something else. Any other time Mora would have just continued on with her own business and ignored her and forgot that the blond even existed. Nope, Mora was way too out of mind to ignore it this time. She climbed out of the pool, marched over toward where Laura swam after picking up her towel, and tossed it at the blond with no hesitation. She should have grabbed all of her things, but it was better to laugh at her as she looked like she had a piss spot on her shorts since she couldn’t dry off. Mora didn’t have a towel of her own either, but she didn’t mind walking back to the dorms in her skivvies. The only issue she’d have was leading guys on.

If Laura wanted to walk back toward the dorms in her bikini, that was fine too, but do that while carrying your clothes and a sopping wet towel. Mora hated to have to be a bitch like this, but Laura was one of the few people who could actually bring out her bad side. In fact, Laura was the only one who woke her bad side. If she was in a worse mood, Mora could have easily picked up one of the chairs and through it into the pool right on top of her, but she didn’t want to end up in the psycho ward for killing a bitch. Laura was an angry individual, but she was far too selfish to off herself.

Laura may be a vindictive little whore at times, but Mora was capable of being just as bad if not worse. She stood over the pool with her hands on her hips, and she looked down at Laura with a smile on her face. “Okay, why do you hate me so much, bitch? Mad because more guys wanna screw me and not you?” She paced back and forth along the side of the pool like a lioness about to pounce on her prey. “Do you hate me just for the fact that I’m older and more mature and much smarter? Jealous maybe?” Mora was trying to find the right words that could piss Laura off even more. “C’mon, spill it you artificial looking whore. What about me do you hate so much?”

[laura]

For the briefest of moments Laura thought she had succeeded in making Mora leave, though that dream was dashed when she saw where the girl was headed. Laura ducked under the water as the towel came toward her before returning the the surface just as though nothing had happened. She really wasn't concerned about the towel, it could sink to the bottom of the pool for all she cared. However the fact that she was making Mora so angry caused a huge grin to grow across her face. Even if Mora had thrown her clothes in it have slightly annoyed Laura but her father had money and she could get more. It took a lot more than an immature act like that to upset Laura.

Laura listened while Mora went on a rant demanding to know why Laura hated her so much, and accusing her of being jealous. Laughter erupted from Laura when Mora claimed to be more mature than her, despite being older Mora was not the mature one of the two. "Well for starters guys will pretty much screw anything that leaves it's door open...ie you though granted you do have good looks which I'm sure helps." Laura said giving Mora a slight compliment. "As for more mature...I think not. I'm not the one who splashed water at the person minder her own business, nor am I the one who throw a towel into the pool because she was angry..." Laura pointed out.

She knew that Mora didn't always act this way and it was Laura herself who brought this out in her personality. It sort of made Laura proud in a weird twisted way to know she could make someone go this crazy with really no effort at all. She considered Mora's last question about what it was about her that she hated so much. In truth Laura really didn't hate the girl, nor did she like her, Laura just found her amusing to mess with. "Hmm..do I have to pick just one? Or can I write you a list and give it to you later?" Laura questioned as she pulled herself up to sit on the edge of the pool a smirk on her lips as she looked over at Mora.

[mora de ancariis]

Mora rolled her eyes. “Make a list and mail it to me. I probably would say the same things about you.” She sat down at the edge of the pool a little ways away from Laura. She kicked her legs back and forth in the water and leaned back, propping her body up with her arms. She let her head fall back and she shut her eyes. Despite the fighting that always erupted between the two of them, she kind of liked it. It was slightly masochistic of Mora to always have conflict between Laura and her; Masochistic in a sense that she was a snobby bitch, but if Mora had the chance she would totally screw her. She sat back forward and rung her hair out into the pool, then flipped it back over her shoulder.

She really hadn’t meant to be Laura’s enemy. It all started with a misunderstanding, but then it escalated into a full on war between the two of them. Laura was only seventeen, making Mora two years her elder. It was ridiculous Mora had to say. She shouldn’t have been fighting with who she viewed as a child by law. In the end, they both had different views of one another’s issues. They were both stubborn about it as well, so there was no trying to change it no matter how much you tried. That was the natural woman for you. They didn’t back down for anything, no matter the age difference, and they did not let anyone walk all over you.

Mora looked back over at Laura and arched a brow. “If you don’t mind me asking,” she started, “but why are you here by yourself anyway?” She looked back into the water. “What if I went all psycho bitch and drowned your ass?” Mora tried to hide her wonder with a threat, but she was genuinely curious. The two of them were both social butterflies, so why would Laura, of all people, be in a place like this all by herself? “All your friends busy or some shit?” Then Mora leaned back again. "You don't have to answer if you don't want to."

[laura]

It was true Mora could likely write a list just as long about the things she didn't like about Laura, the two just didn't see eye to eye. Not that Laura ever saw eye to eye with many people. No one really cared about anyone other than themselves. They always left in one way or another, she certainly didn't depend on anyone other than herself. Laura sort of felt like she was teaching other people this lesson to, that people were cruel and you shouldn't trust them. So in a strange way Laura felt as though she was doing everyone a favour by acting like a bitch all the time.

Laura glanced over at Mora as she inquired as to way she was here along, followed by some weak threat to drown her. The corner's of Laura's lips lifted slightly at the thought of Mora actually being concerned or worried about her. It was a pretty funny thought really, why would she give a shit about what Laura was doing? She couldn't help the laugh that escaped her throat as she shook her head at the other girl. "All my friends are back home." Laura stated plainly, though there was still a hint of amusement in her tone. It was funny that Mora actually thought that Laura had friends in this place. Seriously what sane person would befriend any of these psychos.

Looking down at the water, Laura lightly kicked her feet watching as the water rippled. "Do you honestly think I'd be friends with any of the whack jobs in this place?"[/b] Laura questioned as though Mora had to be completely insane to even consider something like that to be true. The truth was Laura really didn't have any friends here, or people she hung around with. True she spent a lot of time around people but that was mostly when she was annoying them or trying to control them. There was nothing nice or friendly about the way Laura interacted with any of the other students here.

[mora de ancariis]

“Oh, so you think that’s funny?” Mora asked before Laura could continue on with what she was saying. She sat back and listened, and arched a brow curiously. Did she really find everyone to be below her? Mora doubted that theory. By the way Laura talked, she sounded like a very lonely individual. In all honestly, Mora never really saw any good in any of the people Laura affiliated herself with. Maybe she was just misunderstood, but Laura didn’t try to make anyone understand either. She reminded Mora of herself; a girl who saw things the way she wanted them to be seen and there was no convincing her otherwise. Maybe that was why they conflicted so much; they were alike on so many levels that they couldn’t admit it.

“There really isn’t anything wrong with the people here,” Mora said, part of it being spite toward the academy. “These fucked up people only make it seem like we have issues. In reality, everyone, including the assholes that run this place, have problems. They’re just too stuck-up to say shit to anyone. With us being adolescents when we’re brought here, we get no say in any matter. We’re obviously delinquents to the world, and they can’t handle it. So, our parents, or guardians, ship us off to this shithole so that they can live their lives pretending they’re normal. I don’t care who you are or what you’re about, but if you’re the type of person who pretends to be someone you’re not, then I don’t like you. That’s how I view it.”

Everything Mora said wasn’t directed toward Laura at all. In fact, Mora was surprised with herself for confiding in Laura her thoughts. No that it was any secret, but to actually be talking to her like this was beyond surreal. She looked over toward the blond and shrugged hers shoulders. There wasn’t much else for Mora to say to herself. The girl’s presence still annoyed her, but at the same time there was a strange understanding that Mora had to respect. “Plus,” Mora had to add, “maybe people don’t wanna be friends with you ‘cause you think you’re more ‘normal’ than you put off to be. Sorry to break it to ya, but you’re not the most normal bitch here either.” Mora couldn’t help but laugh.

[laura]

Seriously did Mora really think that everyone was crazy? That just didn't make sense, yes everyone had issues that's a given but not everyone was crazy. "God you're dumber than you look." Laura said shaking her head at the other girl. "If everyone was crazy than that would make crazy normal...since we have crazy people than that means not everyone is crazy." Laura tried to explain to Mora, though she didn't expect the girl to understand. Not that it mattered to Laura but she felt she had to make the point anyway.

Another laugh escaped Laura when Mora tried to explain why she didn't have friends here. Again she shook her head at the girl, she really didn't understand Laura at all. "I don't have friends here because I don't want to be friends with any of you head cases. If they don't want to be friends with me even better." Laura said obviously not bothered but that fact in the least. Friends were a liability and not worth your time or effort.

Tilting her head to the side Laura looked over at Mora as though she were considering the girl. "So you're a sex addict huh?" Laura asked her words coming out slowly as though she was considering each one before she said it. Really ti was just to give herself time to work out what she wanted to do. Laura knew she needed to do something to really piss Mora off, sure she might end up getting hit but that would only hurt for a little while, her reaction however would last for a while. "How does one know they are addicted to sex and not just really horny?" Laura questioned as though she really wanted to understand what was wrong with Mora. Which in a way was partly true. The more Laura knew about Mora and the better she understood her the easier it would be to hurt her.
