"Yo Tessa......since we're at the beach, let's have a little race" I say to her with an evil smirk on my lips.
"I'm liking where this is going" she says and smirks too.
"If I win, you'll have to wear a T-shirt that has 'loser' written on it for 1 week straight and you also have to hook me up with your best friend ".
Her best friend is super hot but Tessa warned me not to go near her.

Something about me being a player nd' shit.

"And if you win, I'll wear a T-shirt that has 'loser' written on it for a week and I'll buy you what ever you want for a week"
I know it's a bit much but she's obviously going to loose.

I'm way fucking better.

"For a week huh? You seem pretty confident that you'll win this. It's on. Hope you have enough money tho cause you're gonna go broke by the time I'm done with you. Don't think because we're cousins I'm going to show you any pity when you fail".
"I don't need your pity if I'm going to win"
"Oh you stupid child. There you go again. Being so confident. Let's fucking do thissss!!!!!" She says and screams the last past.

We put on our goggles and stare at the beach.
"Here to that ball floating over there" I say while pointing at the ball in the distance and she nods.
"3,2,1_"
"Hold it right there. What do you guys think you're doing?" Tessa's mum yells.
"I'm sick and tired of your stupid races and bets. The last time you guys did a race,Tessa had to cut her hair. It took months for it to grow back. No. More. Races" Tessa's mum says sternly.
"Yes mum" Tessa says with her head low.
"Yes Aunt Brittany"
"Good." She says and walks away.
"Let's just swim there. We can play with the ball"
"Sure" she says and we enter the water.

We lean into the water and we swim there.

"Where's the ball?" She asks and we look around. We spot a kid swimming away with the ball and we sigh.
"Asshole" we both scream at the kid.
We look at each other then burst out laughing.
"Wait here. I'll go get another ball"
Okay" she says and I swim back.

Where the fuck am I going to get another ball?

I run my hand through my wet hair while searching around. Some girls stare at me and I wink at them, causing them to blush and giggle.

Works everytime.

"What are you looking for?" Aunt Brittany asks
"A ball" I say and she hands me one.
"I brought just in case."
"Thanks"
"You know Tessa has been practicing extra hard to try and be as good as you in swimming."
"Really?" She didn't tell me.

"Yeah. You should take it easy on her. That's why I told you to stop all your races and bets. You're making her feel like she isn't trying hard enough. You guys may be the same age,but she looks up to you when it comes to swimming."
"Thanks for telling me. I promise. No more races until I'm certain that she's ready."
"Good. Where is she anyways?"
"In the water. I told her to stay put while I grab another ball"
"But.....I can't see her" Aunt Brittany says while looking around the pool.

I turn around to check where I left her but she's not there.

"Xavier where's my daughter?" She asks. Fear laced in her tone.
I look closely and I see Tessa drowning.

Fear engulfs my whole body and I run and dive inside the water immediately.

What the fuck?!..... how's she drowning?
