Olivia was questioning her mental stability. She was questioning her friends. She was questioning all of her life decisions that led her to this moment. But she was in too deep.

The count reached 0. “Cannonball!” her towel floated to the ground as she flew through the air, leading the troupe of teenagers disrupting the once calm surface of the inground pool. For a moment, just after the impact, everything was perfect, like one of those cheesy teenage movies.
