Pool - Corey Campbell
The short story called ‘’Pool’’ is writing in 2009 by Corey Campbell. To be in love is a wonderful feeling that you can’t compare to other feelings. Feelings like hate, love and jealousy will always become in every couple, but especially in young couples. When you’re young and don’t have so much experience in love and relationship it’s much easier to be hurt. A lot of drama will appear. Sometime it does have disadvantages and at other times it can have advantages. In some point everybody will experience one of those things or even them all in a relationship. I’ll guess it be them all.
In the short story we have a main character who’s named Darla, she is a young woman who’s in a relationship with Jon and it seems very complicated, but they are still together. Even though she loves Jon, she is worried about the episode they had the night before. Jon’s best friend Trevor and his girlfriend Mandy had a pool party that Jon insisted on Darla to come with him to, but she is older than this couple, but they have a child.
Darla is a very shy person, she hates her body and the thought about other people seeing it, that why she didn’t wear a swimsuit and just joined the rest who also wasn’t joining the others. She controls her weight a lot and she is very slim; she doesn’t drink alcohol, she only drinks things like diet coke etc.
“Trevor looked over at her. “The water feels great,” he said. “Come in and join us.” Darla reached a hand into the pool, which was warmer than she'd expected. “A little later,” she said, knowing that she wouldn’t, that she hated others seeing her in her swimsuit.” (L. 58-62, p. 9)
Last night Darla and Jon had sex and they used a condom but it broke, and Darla is very worried about it, but they went to a chemist's shop to get a morning- after pill, but it didn’t help on that she still was nervous about the whole thing. She keep thinking that she maybe
