Chapter 1

Robbin's Pov.

Waking up, I feel tired and feel like something is off. I'm hoping it's just the hardcore study session I did last night for the Pre-calc test today. I got up and got ready for school. After showering, brushing my teeth and styling this hair of mine.. All that's left for me to do is choose my outfit for the day. A pair of distressed blue jeans, a white v-neck, a red hoodie and red vans. I grab my phone and backpack and slip out of the room.

Walking into the kitchen, I notice mom left a note on the counter, it says," Hey sweetie, I had to leave for work early. Be back for dinner, love you." I hurry and grab a handful of lucky charms, lock the door and speed to the bus stop. Realizing that's my only way to school since my car is wrecked.

Barely making the bus, I step on and start the search for a seat. " Robbin! Robbin! Robbin! Robbin! Robbin! Robbin! " Half the bus starts yelling my name for me to sit with them. Steadily trying to find someone I know, I finally spot my teammate Melody. " Are you ready for the meet tonight? " Melody mentioned once I sat down.

(R) Not at all, swimming the 500 is going to destroy me.

(M) I'm thinking about "accidentally'' pulling a muscle to get out of the 200.

(R) If our coaches ever fall for that then maybe we need better coaches HA!

Our laughter floods the bus until we step into the school. As I walk in the hall, I have a feeling that today will be really interesting.

Lyra's Pov.

After yelling goodbye to my boss Mr. Flipan, I hop in my Uber and start the ride to school. "How are you doing this morning ?!" The overexcited uber driver asks.

(L) I'm doing good, how are you ?

(UD) I am doing great! Thanks for asking! Are you ready for the day?

For some reason his over the top happiness is making me feel more tired than I already am.

(L) Yeah, sure.

Before he could respond, I pressed one of the sample ringtones and "answered" the phone.

(L) Hey, how are you doing?

(N/A) ...

(L) Yeah, same. Are you almost at school?

(N/A) ...

(L) Can you save me a seat for breakfast?

(N/A) ...

(L) Thanks. So tell me how your weekend was?

By the time I arrive at school, my " conversation " just ended and I say goodbye to the driver. The minute I walk in I want to turn around, but I need to graduate. So I start heading to Ms. Supers classroom, with my earbuds in and blocking the world out. I just hope today goes by fast and with zero problems.
