Faking

Chapter 6

I decided to just wear the swim shorts and my blue t-shirt.

I was not going out there shirtless.

I opened the door cautiously and noticed that everyone has left.

Finally!

I ran out of the locker room and got in line with my classmates.

Vincent looked up disappointedly.

He said, "Ah, darn it. I wanted to see you shirtless."

I threw him a glare and he raised his arms up mouthing a sorry.

Ugh. Boys.

When the teacher whistled saying we were going to get in the water, I freaked out.

He announced that today we had free time in the pool, so I was okay.

I went into the pool and Vincent whispered, "I will protect you princess!"

I glared at him again.

He just smiled sweetly back at me.

I went into the pool and started moving around.

I have always liked swimming even though I sucked at it.

I was moving around the huge pool when I noticed someone coming up behind me.

I turned around and was met with Tristan right in front of me.

He smiled at me and he was so handsome.

I carefully looked at him because he knew my secret.

I looked around and pulled him away from the crowd.

I whispered, "How do you know?"

He looked at me and said, "Don't you remember me?"

Ugh! Why were people asking me that? I suck at remembering people.

I shrugged and he said, "We met like a month ago. More like I met you."

I just raised my eyebrow at him and he sighed.

He shook his head and said, "You were coming out of the grocery store and I was coming out of the bookstore next to it. I was walking to my car when I noticed your bag had a hole. All your potatoes and goodies were dropping. You didn't even notice. I started picking up each one while you just kept on walking. I was amused because how could you not notice. When you arrived at your house, I left all the things you dropped by your door. You must have noticed there was a hole because you ran out of your house and found the things you dropped by your door."

I was shocked.

I remember that day.

I was walking home from getting some food for my mom while listening to music.

I didn't even notice the hole until I arrived at my house with no food in the bag.

No wonder it was so light.

I ran back out and saw all my items in front of my door.

I didn't really look around for who helped.

It was Tristan!

He smiled at me and he must have noticed that I remembered.

But, that doesn't explain how he knew I am a girl.

He seemed to understand my expression because he said, "When you came to the school on the first day, I saw you with Elliot. I knew it was you because you looked exactly like that girl except with short hair. I was confused at first but uhm.. well... you kind of fell on me.... I could..uh..yeah.."
