Drowning Desires

Maura

The first thing I noticed when I arrived at school on Tuesday was the odd amount of students around my locker.

I wasn't surprised, I expected Adrien to retaliate I just didn't expect it so quickly. I strutted over to my locker, assuming he probably did something similar to what I did to his. Yet when I get there, I stopped dead.

My locker was open, he had to have known my code. There was absolutely nothing in there, every school book, every snack and all the extra little items I had stored in there were gone.

My mouth hung open as I stared at the black paint across the back of the locker. The other students walked away as I took in the words, my frown growing deeper with each read.

You wanted to get wet princess, didn't you?

I slammed my empty locker close and made a mental note to change my locker passcode.

An arm appeared at my waist. I looked up and found Riley beside me. "What." I said sharply.

"I want to apologies for how I acted on Friday inside the hospital and outside as well. I tried to convince them to stop but they wouldn't listen." Riley explained.

"It's fine, i've dealt with worse." I shrugged. "Are you going to tell me about it?" Riley asked. I smiled, "eventually i suppose."

"At least tell me why you were in jail before." He pushed. "That is not something i'm willing to tell anyone." I said bluntly.

"Ok, i'll walk you to class." Riley offered. "No thanks,
i've got something I need to do." I said. Riley gave me a suspicious look before turning around and heading the opposite direction.

I scanned the hall until I came across the familiar tattooed guy. I stalked over to him.

"Where is my stuff." I demanded.

Adrien smirked. "You know, princess, you should really make your locker combination harder to guess. You birthday, really?"

"No one here knows what my birthday is, well clearly apart from you. What, did you stalk me or something?" I said, crossing my arms.

"Something like that." He replied.

"Where is my stuff." I repeated.

Adrien gave me a bored look as he examined his hand. "I can't remember." He shrugged, "Maybe try the pool." He said before walking away.

I looked around the corridor, watching everyone file into their classrooms. I let out a sigh as I turned in the opposite direction of my class and headed towards the pool.

There were luckily no teachers walking around as I made my way there. I eased the door to the pool open and released a breath when I noticed no one was in there.

I groaned as I noticed paper and books littered throughout the water. Looking around one more time, I took off my jacket, shirt and jeans and jumped in.

The water was cold, I let out deep breaths as I made my way to the middle of the pool and gathered my belongings.

"It's a nice day for a swim, isn't it?" I heard a familiar voice call out. I spun around quickly at the voice.
