It was the 16th of June, which could only mean one thing: Sammy’s pool party! I love pool parties! They’re the perfect thing for a hot summer’s day. Everyone was going to be there. It took me a while to get all my things together, so I was late, as usual. Everyone else was there already so I felt slightly embarrassed. I walked around to her back yard and one thing grabbed my eye. Marik was standing there with no shirt on. I blushed. I was overwhelmed by how perfect he was. I now knew why I was a fan girl. I took off my shirt and jumped into the pool. Marik was staring at me. Not in a scary way, a more, caring, deep stare. It got me thinking about what Rose said to me earlier in the week. She wanted to know if I would ask Marik out on a date. I knew she was joking, but maybe it would be a good idea. Marik was so perfect. His eyes were purple, just like in the anime. I had never met someone with purple eyes before. His eyes also looked like they were full of stories, like memories written into stone. It got me thinking about my own life and all that’s happened within it.
