The Geography Crush

Swim test

POV: EL

After hours gone by, I think I have mastered the basics.
Great improvement, I would say.

"Okay, EL. Now, it's time to test you on what I have taught you just now." Mr Nic said.

I nodded and took deep breaths.
You can do it, EL.
I'm sure you can.

And so, I used all the techniques and skills and did my best. I swam and swam till I know I was at the end point. I rose up and breathed heavily.

Did I did it?
Did I?

And that moment, when I looked at him.
He smiled at me.
He rose his hands and clapped.

"Congrats, you passed."

Those words made me feel so happy.
I gave a sigh of relief and smiled back. I PASSED YAY!!

I was so happy that I didn't realize my hands were touching his. For a moment, I felt something.

I looked down.
My hands were touching his hands.
I TOUCHED HIS HANDS?!
Big trouble.

I immediately let go of his hand without signalling him and pretended nothing happened.

Unexpectedly, when I looked up, he stood there with an expression that makes me feel guilty.

"Do you know that-"
"I'm sorry. I'm terribly sorry. It was accidental, I promise. I-" I cut him.
"What do you mean?" He cut me.

And at that moment, I realized he did not find out. And now I've dug my own grave, thinking he found out.

"Nothing. Nothing at all, please continue." I said, shaking my head.

He nodded and proceeded to finish his sentence. After a while, swimming was over. I waved goodbye to him before getting out of the pool. I grabbed my bag and went into the shower room to get a quick shower before dressing.

While showering, I thought about what had happened today. Mr Nic touching my feet, and me touching his hands...

My face immediately turned flushed red at the thought. I shook my head and said to myself.

Don't ever think about it, EL.
DON'T EVER THINK ABOUT THAT.

Thankfully, it worked. For a while.

I quickly got changed back into my school shirt and went out to dry my hair. Then, I went out and began to search for my classmates.

After a while of searching, I found one of my classmates and began find my way. And yes, I reached the gathering spot.

"Okay class. How's swimming? If you have any problems, do speak to me. If there's nothing, please stand up. Line up and board the bus." the teacher instructed.

Swimming was fun.
It was okay.
I'm fine with whatever I have.
