The bad boy is the swim captain

Chapter 7

At the end of the week I was mentally and physically drained, our new swim captain had decided that it was best for us to start training earlier in the day at five in the morning. I was late for every practice and was forced to swim extra laps, I swear Ryan was really out to make my life miserable or perhaps he really wanted me to quit.
When Friday arrived I was rather ecstatic this would be the last training for this week, I woke up extra early to make sure I would not be late, I wore my swimsuit and gathered my belongings I ran all the way down nearly tripping on the grass. As I approached the pool I realised I was rather early apart from someone who had beat me to the pool already , I took a closer look and I began to admire the tanned biceps that's seemed to flex as the swimmer began swimming laps and aggressively picked up speed. Soon thereafter he came to a stop , he began lifting himself out of the pool, my heart started beating uncontrollably. I tried looking away but my eyes were glued on his back, he turned around and my face immediately turned sour; the guy I had been gawking at just happened to be my worst nightmare, Ryan.

Our eyes locked, a large smirk grew on his face and he spoke cockily " Why are you just staring at me like some type of creep. " I scoffed and squinted my eyes, I shot daggers at him as I lied through my teeth, " I wasn't staring I was trying to avert my eyes from the sun it was literally blinding me."
Our conversation ended there as the team began to arrive, I managed to keep up with everyone while swimming even coach said that maybe I would be ready for the swimming season.
As the end of practice drew near, I hurriedly grabbed my bags, but I was abruptly stopped as I raced to get out.
"Where do you think you're going?" A familiar voice spoke under their breath as I looked down at the marble tiling.
"When I talk you always should look up!" He sternly implied. Who does he think he is ,just because he thinks that everyone is beneath him he can speak however the hell he wants? I looked up to face his intense eyes, " What do you want Timothy?" I addressed him coldly using his last name,"Ouch, is that anyway to speak to your date?"
My face scrunched up in confusion, " What are you getting at?"
A mischievous grin finds it's way onto his face, " You know what I'm talking about." His smirk pissed me off more than the words that were coming out of his pathetic lips (Who am I kidding his lips are anything but pathetic...)
"What point of "what are you getting at didn't you understand?'...wow idiot." I muttered the last part, he smiled again " I'm taking you as my date to the Halloween dance next Friday, I'll be at your dorm at 7pm sharp." I started laughing expecting him to laugh along as if it was some joke, I looked up to find him glaring at me as if I was the crazy one. I began walking away; I couldn't stand to hear anymore of what he had to say he was taking me for some kind of fool and I was not going to stick around and play his sick game.
As I began storming off he quickly grabbed my hand and he stared at me and for some reason I couldn't look away it was as if I was in some kind of trance. "You are so uptight, you think you're so much better than everyone." Was he kidding right now, was he really trying to make me feel bad? He was honestly the last person who should be speaking as far as I was concerned. I yanked my hand out of his grip , "Get off your high horse, you're not a king so stop acting like I owe you something! " I walked away without turning back once.

After changing into my uniform I rushed down to grab some breakfast, as I approached the door I faltered how was I going to face him after everything that went down just a few minutes ago. I sighed and pushed the doors open I walked straight towards the lunch ladies without even sparing a glance at his table, I ordered. I sat down at the table I couldn't help zone out, I started staring at the table in the centre only to find he was getting it on with Ally (The girl I happened to accidentally bump into). Without realising it I began glaring at him; of course he would do this he wasn't interested in me. I was brought back to Earth as Stella was snapping her fingers trying to get my attention, "What is up with you? Ever since you arrived you can't seem to keep your eyes of Ryan. " I began chocking on my health shake, I quickly recovered "I wasn't staring , I was just analysing something. " They all looked at each other suspiciously I felt my cheeks begin to heat up , I couldn't stay in the cafeteria any longer. I jumped up and made some excuse and I walked out heading towards a very quiet place.The library.
I was seated at one of the huge oak tables surrounded with shelves, I was flipping through a magazine until I heard a familiar voice the same voice that seemed to irk me. I tried ignoring it and I carried on flipping through the pages, but I couldn't help but feel his presence behind me. Anger began to arise until I suddenly snapped, "What the fuck do you want from me!?" , as the words left my lips I quickly clamped my hands over my mouth. How could I say that?... my cheeks began to colour as my embarrassment became apparent , I Kaitlyn Gerald had never sworn out loud to someone before I was completely surprised. I looked up to find Ryan smiling wildly I was actually scared of what he might have been thinking in that moment, "Well, well you are I assume some kind of nerd." The colour from my face drained , what is he even talking about ? Does he know my secret?
I quickly recovered , I scoffed "What do you want Ryan ?" He was beginning to irritating me , "I just wanted to ask if you'd reconsider my earlier offer." I rolled my eyes at this, then an idea popped into my head.

"Ryan Timothy,I accept your offer but only if you can impress me enough.Only then will you go as my date." He smirked
"Challenge accepted. "
