Today is the day. The last swim compitition of the year. I will win! I am Catherine Best. Today I face Kaiko Daishi! She belongs to the infamous Hamishi Academy for girls! "Are you ready everyone?!" The comentator shouts. A loud scream comes froms the crowd as they do the wave. Kaiko and I prepare our selves as the crowd gets more and more riled up! Then we step onto the diving board. This competition is being brodcast on live tv! It is a big event this season because whomever wins this will be the champ! It will be me, I swear it!
"Ok laidies! To your starting positions!" he announces "On your mark, go!" he shouts and a blank is fired. I push off with all my might, but Kaiko gets a small head. I quickly push ahead. I'm winning! This race is ten laps total so I need to be at least two laps ahead of her. That can be easily acomplished.
So far I am four laps ahead. As far as I can tell Kaiko is the type to take it a bit slower and speed it up towards the end. To bad for her I'm the type to push hard without slowing down! Three laps to go! Now Kaiko is serious! She is speeding up and is gaining laps fast but I am on my last lap! She is on her next to last! I'm half way there! And, finish! I quickly pull myself out of the pool and raise my hands in victory as the comentator shouts "She wins again! Catherine Best has done it! She is this years champion!" The audience cheers! Kaiko looks disapionted and angry as she leaves the stadium. A man comes towards me with a golden trophy! He formaly presents it to me and I accept it graciously. I walk out of the stadium through the dark hallways.
As I walk out I see a man in a suite leaning against a wall. He is wearing shades that make him look very suspicious. No, no he is probobly there just in case of a very sore loser. I wave at him as I leave. It's time to go home!
It's the next day and unfortunatly it's a school day. But, on the bright side eveyone is congratulating me on my win! In my locker is a bunch of congraulations cards! Aoi Nikon, my best friend, aproches my locker with a big smile on his face. "Congratulations!!!!!!" He says happily while he pats my head. I make a pouty face
"Aoi don't pat me on the head like I'm a four year old!" I whine. I want an apology , but all I get is him laughing at me! Which makes me pout more.
"Oh, ok! Fine you win!" He says as he gives me a gigantic hug!
"Aoi! I can't breath!" I say gasping after he lets me go.
"You are such a drama queen!" My other best friend Sashimi Gen jokes when she walks up. "You two will be late for class if you don't stop goofing around!" she scolds.
"Fineeeeee!!!!!!!!" I groan. We have a test today! I don't care even if it's my favorite subject I can't stand tests! I hate them with all my heart! Aoi and Sashimi know this and won't hesitate to make it miserable for me!
"Catherine! Guess what! We have a test in math and science today!" Aoi sings.
"Aaannnddd we have midterms coming up in three weeks!" Sashimi adds.
"AAAAAAaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" I shout in agony. It causes almost everyone in the hall to look at me, but that's what they wanted. They know just how to torture me! It's unfair! As far as I know Sashimi is like one of those perfect students who is also popular. You know the realy anoying ones that if you are not friends with you hate them. Everyone has one of those people, somtimes more. For me that person is Aki Miso! And she makes it clear that the feeling is mutual. She's the capitan of the tennis team and she's in the drama club. She has always been a perfect student. She just annoys me! But for now I'm about to be late for homeroom!
I sit down just as the bell rings. "Now everyone! Let's get a move on! We have to much to do today!" Mrs. Mikami says sternly. Then there is a phone call. Mrs. Mikami answers and quickly hangs up. "Catherine, you are required in the principals office!" she says outloud. I sigh and wonder what it could be. I don't remeber doing anything wrong. I gather my things and head to the principal's office. As I walk there the halls are quiet and empty.
When I get there the receptionist is typing away on her keyboard. I turn to the right and head towards the principal's office. The door is closed, so I knock and her a stern, "Come in." that can only be prinncipal Mikan.
"Yes ma'am!" I say as I open the door. Inside of the office are two men in suites.
"Sit."
"Yes ma'am!" I say as I sit in one of the hard chairs in her office.
"Listen carefuly to these men Catherine."
"Yes ma'am!" What kind of trouble have I gotten myself into!?
"Hello," one suite starts, "I'm agent bellman, and this is agent Simmons. We are here to tell you about an assignment you have been selected for by the government." What!? The other agent starts, "The government has created a new unit in the navy branch. This unit is Swim Unit X, and you have been one of the few to have been selected for this very important unit. Lance will take you to your home to say goodbye to your family and to gather your things. Don't worry though you will have visiting days. As for your friends, you will see them again as well."
"What!? Are you serious!? Is this a joke!?" I ask in a loud voice.
"Calm down missy. It will be okay soon." A man I can only asume is Lance walks in. "Okay lets go. Come on." He gestures for me to follow him and I do.
After my locker is cleared out we head to a limo parked out front. "Wait, a limo!?" I suddenly shout.
"Yes mam." Lance replies.
Once we get to my house I begrudginly pack up my most esential belongings and some unesentials too. I walk out to the livingroom where my mother and father are waiting. Mother starts to cry. "My sweet baby! I'm going to miss you so much!" she cries. It pains me to see he likes this, so I start to cry as well. "Mama! I'm gonna miss you too! Papa I love you!" I cry.
"Catherine I love you too! I can't wait to see you again!" father said. I coould tell he was holding back tears for my mom's and my sake. It made me even sadder. "Miss! We have to go!" Lance said. I turned to leave, but my mom grabbed my arm.
"Wait! I have something to give you!" she shouted. I turned around.
"What!?"
"Here. It's a baby octokitten. Take care of him, and don't forget to write us often!" she cried as she handed me a small gray octokitten. I smiled and said, "Mama! His name is Chreshire! And I'll write to you everyday! Goodbye! I'll see you soon!"
"Half way there Miss." Lance said, but I'm not paying attention. Chreshire is sleeping, and I'm looking out of the window. I don't know what lies ahead, but I know that I can handle it.

CHAPTER ONE DEMO END.

P.S. I think I like this version so I may just use this instead. In fact, I think instead of third person I'll go with first person! XD
