"W-What? N-No!" I try to say with as much indignation as possible and I must fool Virgil because he leans back and stops questioning me.
"Then you won't mind if I wear trunks then." He leans his head back, closing his eyes.
I stop myself from choking before it gets too late, could I still lie that I don't feel really good enough to swim?
"That's true, maybe you should wear your trunks too, Hayden." My mom suggests happily and my mouth drops open.
"Why?" I ask, making a horrified face.
"Because Virgil is going to wear his!" She exclaims like it answered every question there ever was and maybe it did, Virgil and I had always done everything at the same time like our first official haircut which my mom claims I kept sobbing as the barber clipped off my hair because I felt that the hair being cut would feel lonely, I still don't believe her.
