Today was Nationals, we were all standing around waiting for everything to start. Ever since the kiss the girls and guys half of the teams had split up, no one from either side had talked since. It finally started, the girls race first and the guys go second longer races go last so I would be the last girl racing and he would be the last guy. everyone went and then it was my turn. a lot of people from school had shown up because the news about the tension between the two half had gotten around and everyone was very curious to bad no one was going to see anything anyway. I raced and when I was coming up out of the water everyone was patting me on the back telling me how I took first and Harold went to hand me a towel which I accepted but walked away without a word.
The boys started racing and they were doing really well we were tied with California and everyone was on edge it came down to the last race. (yes this is cheesy) HE was up on his stand and everyone was waiting for the gun shot my friend whispered in my ear give him something to win for, and without even thinking I said "Harry if you win I will go out without." he started to turn back but the gun sounded and he was in the water my friend laughed and told me she was hoping that would happen. He was flying and everyone was screaming the section of students behind me was drowning out my thoughts. Then he hit the timer and pulled himself up making us national champions. He pulled himself up locking eyes with me, pushing away all the people who tried to talk to him or hug him he walked towards me he came up placing his hands on my back and kissing me right there in front of everyone. The loud section went dead silent. You could heard the announcer talking but that was the only noise. Then he pulled back grabbed a towel and tied it around his waist grabbing my wrist, "where are we going"
"you promised a date, I've waited to long."
