Crystal's reaction

Crystal turns bright red and fidgets next to you while you and the other girls laugh at the memory. "I still don't get it," Monica says.

"Th-That..." Crystal seems at a loss for words. "That's so shameless! And I'm pretty sure illegal!"

"Maybe," Madison admits. "But it's fun!"

Crystal sulks as she looks at the bubbling water. "I just don't...how do you all go along with this? What makes Sam so special that you'll throw all your morals and rules to the side?!"

The girls look at each other, as if they're trying to figure out how to answer that. Alex is the first to speak up. "Look, Crystal, I really can't explain it. We love Sam. We all do. And he loves us. You can't really describe it unless you've felt it."

"And it's really not just Sam," Candy says. "Being with each other like this, getting to do the things we do together is amazing. Most people don't get that like we do."

Madison leans forward, almost letting her bare breasts peek out of the water. "Crystal, I'll admit it, I'm not easy to get along with. And when everyone on the cheerleading team started falling for Sam, I thought they were crazy. But they stayed with me, helped me understand, invited me to hang out, and..."

She thinks for a second, trying to explain it, but Rebecca jumps in. "Hey, if you say it outside of here, I'll deny it, but I get more from Sam than anything around this place."

Monica turns towards her. "Sam has more money than you?"

Candy splashes her to shut her up as Rebecca continues. "I'm filthy, stinking rich, yeah. and I could afford to have us move to Japan and never work again. But I don't get the same feeling with the people at the country club. We all feel like we belong together. Like a family."

Crystal still looks red, but you wonder if it's from the hot tub instead of embarrassment. After a moment of silence, she speaks. "I just don't want to lose my grades or connections or my future. I've put so much effort into high school. I can't lose my chances of getting into a good college or getting a job!"

"You don't have to," Alex says. "Look at Juliet. She still wants to go into theatre and all that stuff. She just doesn't want to move to Broadway to do it anymore."

You finally decide to speak up to drive the point about Juliet home. "Even before we all started dating, I took her out to plays. We talked about writing and costume design and staging, and all kinds of stuff I couldn't even follow. I wanted her to be happy."

Crystal thinks for a minute. From her shoulder movement, it looks like she stopped covering her breasts under the water. Maybe she was starting to relax.

"You look like you need more convincing," Rebecca says. "Come with us. We'll take you to the other girls so they can explain it."

The red blush reappears on Crystal's face. "Um...but I'm still n..." She can't seem to be able to say the word "naked."

"Fine. I'll bring them here then," Alex says. "Calypso's got a pretty spicy story."

"Still a no!" Crystal refuses.

Madison throws up her hands. "Fine! Maybe we'll just leave and leave you and Sam all naked and alone together! Then you can figure it out yourself!"

Crystal turns to you and back to the girls hard enough to whip her hair around. You can tell she's considering her options, but all of them involve being naked with you.
