The excitement was evident in the air as multiple students made their way to the gym, the lists of people who had made it into the certain afternoon activities had been put up. Stella squealed as she realised she had made it into both soccer and student council; I slowly walked up to the swimming board and I scanned the names, my hopeful attitude began to dwindle as I couldn't seem to find my name I knew I wouldn't make it in. My eyes were almost at the bottom of the list when I found my name written down I couldn't control the smile that seemed to form; I walked over to the chess board and found my name written on that too. My spirits were high while some people around me gave defeated sighs and some eventually trudged of as they realised they didn't get into the teams they had signed up for. There was a little notice written at the bottom of the swimming board, I looked closer and it read " Well done to all students who have been short listed, we would like to inform you that we have practice after school so make sure you are ready for the year ahead, and it would be safe to say that your bathing suits will be required. " I frowned, why does it have to start so early, I headed out in to the hallway getting ready to attend my first class,Biology.

I walked in to find I was five minutes late; "Nice of you to grace us with your presence Miss Gerald now take a seat." I slowly approached an empty seat at the front of the classroom as all eyes fell onto me. I stayed quite as Mr Pineward rambled on for the rest of the period as soon as the bell rang indicating class was over I heard someone shuffling behind me. I glanced up to find a really good looking guy, he had jet black hair and a chiseled jaw that had to have been sculpted my the gods themselves, his eyes where a light green and he's cheeks had a slight red tinge to them. " Can I help you?" I asked as politely as possible, " Actually you can, I was wondering if you could help me I seem to have forgotten the alphabet, my mind keeps telling me that U and I are meant to be together." Cockiness was written all over his face, I rolled my eyes " What is up with guys at this school and their attempts at pickup lines?" I began to walk out the door towards my next class he began to follow me a stern look formed onto my face " Why are you following me?" Smiling down at me he spoke again with a heavenly like voice " Well I was walking you to class, and anyway we have the same class together." He looked as if he had won an achievement I grumbled " whatever. " I walked into the class and took a seat at a desk he chose to sit right next to me.
Next thing the teacher walked in " Class I have decided that since this is your first class with me we can take time to introduce ourselves; everyone began to introduce themselves and I realised that it would soon be my turn. The boy next to me stood up and he began to talk " Hey my names Jace...." he winked and the girls swooned he then continued "I'm from Florida and my parents own a successful law firm down there. I am the captain of the lacrosse team and I guess that's all for now." He sat back down and he ran his hands through his hair the girls began drooling at this point. It was my turn and I stood up and some boys from across the room began to whistle at me, at this point my hands began to sweat I summoned up my courage and I began to talk " Hi my names Kaitlyn but my friends call me Kat-" I was cut off at that moment when one of the guys decided to pitch in " Do they call you that because you're wild in bed,"he winked at me, Mrs Wilfird gave him a stern look that seemed to make him keep quiet then she told me to continue. "I moved here from Atlanta I like swimming and uhmm... I have a brother and that's pretty much it." I mumbled and I sat down quickly and remained quite the rest of the period. I shoved my books into my bag and walked out of class as soon asthe bell rang.

I walked into the cafeteria and I sat down at our table, the girls joined soon thereafter. I glanced around and found Jace seated at Mr hotties table, it made more sense why he was such a douche bag. I looked away and concentrated on the conversation taking place , we had all managed to make it into the teams we had chosen and we were all rather excited.

The last bell rang and the excitement that I had built up was starting to show, I ran out of the classroom all the way to my room I dug around looking for my costume. I soon found it at the bottom of my bag, I pulled it on along with my gym shorts and a loose t-shirt. I made a dash for the swimming pool making sure I didn't arrive late, as soon as I arrived I realised that most people were already in the pool, swimming laps. I slipped off my shorts and pulled off my t-shirt to reveal my black swimming costume, it held on to me quite tightly.
I could hear some whistling from a group of soccer boys behind me and I chose to ignore it,I dived into the pool trying to catch up with everyone. I soon caught up and that's when I heard a loud whistle.

We all came out of the pool my hair was now a wet tangled lump, I looked up and came face to face with my worst nightmare.
My new swimming captain.
