 It seemed like when Jacob saw his roommate, he completely forgot he was having fun. August felt a twinge of guilt when Jacob rushed out of the tank, quickly wrapping himself in a towel and fleeing the scene. 

 In all honesty, August was a little bit aware of his own insecurities. He did his best to make people laugh, pulling off stupid stunts and pranks. But when push came to shove, he never really felt like he fit in anywhere besides the pool. He knew there were going to be people who didn't like him. There were people he didn't like, either. But it still irked him when people wouldn't even give him a shot, like Jacob seemed to be doing. Sure, August knew he was a pain in the butt, and maybe a little annoying, over-confident, cocky..... Okay, whatever, he tried to be a cool guy, but things just didn't seem to work out in his favor. 

 He hung around to watch a few more victims of the dunk tank. Eliza Herring, looking as perfect as always, was dunked by Acacia. She received a large applause (of course) when she hit the water with a little yelp, and even more when she climbed out and displayed her bikini to the eager crowd. August smiled and rolled his eyes. She sure knew how to work a crowd! If she didn't dislike him so much, August would definitely agree with his classmates when they said she was one of the prettiest girls on campus. He just wasn't going to openly admit it and somehow have her hear about it.

 August looked over his shoulder and noticed Jacob wolfing down a steak. [i]Does he always eat like that?[/i] And why the hell did he still feel guilty? Jacob volunteered to get dunked! It wasn't like he shot the guy's puppy. Besides, Jacob had a grin plastered on his face, which was kind of rare.

 His curiosity sparked when Jacob's towel fell off and August noticed the marks on his back. Scars? Huh, wonder how he got those..... He wouldn't ask, because his gut told him that was a bad idea. It looked like Jacob had been trying to hide them.

 After a moment, August realized he was sort of staring, so he turned away and went to get something to eat. The hamburgers looked great, but so did the steak, and those hotdogs..... He ended up taking one of each. After taking a handful of potato chips, he found a spot a short distance from the crowd and sat down in the grass to eat his feast.
