A Walk around the Lake

Andrea was blushing slightly and smiling abit, "It's okai Gary " Drea said and without noticing it she put her hand on top of his again.

Gary smiled but shifted uncomfortably. As much as he liked Andrea, he had feelings for Cho as well. He didn't move his hand but looked away and sighed.

Drea took her hand back, took off her hoodie and jumped in the lake. She started swimming far away from Gary so she can think clearly.

Gary didnt really feel like swimming so he stayed where he was. He watched Andrea swim away and hoped that she would come back.

As she was thinking she kept watching the sky, ;;Great.. It stopped raining for a bit and it's going to start again...;; Andrea thought then she looked at Gary's direction and started swimming back to him.

Rose leant over to Gary. "Someone's got a bit of a dilemma," she whispered. "Pros and cons. Cho, whilst being very pretty, very brave and very clever, is also prone to bizarre nightmares and destructive bouts of self-criticism. I don't know Andrea well enough to compare the two, but still." She sat back, smiling smugly. "What do you want?"

"I don't know. Its all so confussing. I have equal amounts of feelings for both." He sighed and looked towards Rose. He had almost forgotten that she was still there.

Drea stopped swimming to him as she saw him and Rose talking, Drea swam back to the surface far away from them and started to climb the tree so they couldn't notice her that well.

Gary watched as Andrea got out. He supposed she had gone back inside. He decided to stay and have a chat with Rose instead.

Andrea dried herself once again with a charm, "Damn!" she said quietly a bit, remembering that she left her black hoodie next to Gary.

Gary looked down and saw Andrea's hoodie. 'Must remember to give that back to her' he thought.

Andrea flicked out her wand and started whispering "Accio Hood-" then stopped as she ntoiced that she didn't want Rose nor Gary to know that she's on one of the branches on the tree.

Gary looked around. He thought he had heard someone speaking. He couldnt see anyone and shook his head. He had the feeling that someone was watching them...

"It's her," Rose whispered. "I can smell it. Say something, see what she does."

Drea climbed off the tree the opp. way so they couldn't see her. Drea went in the lake again with noone noticing and swam far away from them again, hoping they didnt see her.

"Andrea? Are you spying on us?" He smiled, trying to sound like he was joking rather then accusing her of something.

Andrea smiled while she was still swimming away from them. She guessed that even hearing him saying that, made her smile for some odd reason. Drea put her head in the water to see if there were Merpeople there or further ahead.

"Swimming away." Rose sighed. "But, she seems happy...ish. You might be in luck."

"No answer. That means she is!" He laughed and looked across the lake. He saw a couple of ripples and guessed they were from Andrea. He smiled

"Ooooh," Rose said, teasing him and punching him lightly on the arm. "She's happy about you...must be good, eh?" And then, half guessing his reaction, "Awww, look at that blush..."

Drea took her head out of the water, took out her wand & aimed at her black hoodie then said "Accio hoodie." The hoodie began comming towards her in the air.

Gary jumped as the hoodie began to move. He laughed and watched where the hoodie landed. He quickly sprang into the water and sped towards the spot where it had dropped.

"Aha!" Rose pointed a finger at the flying hoodie. "Fleeing the scene of the crime!" she called across the water.

Andrea half smiled and laughed as she caught her hoodie. "Found me huh?" She said smiling.

Gary heard Rose and laughed. "Come on Rose! Lets catch the culprut!" He shouted behind him, as he continued to swim towards the spot.
