LAKE | Therese and Open | Midnight
Therese would never admit she'd come down here for social purposes, that she wanted to be included in the party and the throng of fun. Nope, she'd say she came down to enjoy the water, get a free feed and maybe something to drink; not the people. She'd done a little socializing greeting and talking to people as she sipped a sweet drink or something she wasn't sure of the name of, but it was sweet and nice. As soon as she could she moved on from them and soon she was able to slip towards the lake.
She slipped off her clothes and revealed her bikini. She walked in amongst the bushes and hid her clothes, she wasn't an idiot- she hadn't even brought her valuables with her because she wanted to go swimming and she didn't trust people to not steal from her. She returned to the shoreline and slipped slowly into the water, she may not have been a mermaid but she loved the water as much as them and she was graceful in it.
She slipped her hair in a bun and disappeared under the surface of the water, avoiding people as she swam and when she surfaced she thought she was clear of them all but as she wiped her eyes from the water she bumped into someone. "I'm sorry" She apologized, biting her lip. Please don't be an aggressive drunk person, she thought to herself- she didn't want to spoil their night or have hers spoiled by a silly mistake.
