Colin POV

"You guys need to step up your game this year if you're going to beat Goode!"
Coach Brody said to the boys' varsity swim team of Einstein High. "Goode's got some half-fish dude on their team who is breaking all the state records. If we want to keep our winning streak up, we need to work harder!"

So apparently, Goode High School- the school who basically sucks at sport, until this year- has been winning all of their swim meets because of some guy named Percy Jackson. Now, Goode High School is one of the most popular schools in New York.

Tomorrow, we would finally play them. Our school has also won every swim meet, so the pressure is high for us to win. Our school hasn't lost a state championship for swimming in 20 years, if we're lose that streak, we're toast.

Our school, Einstein High, is for the gifted students. Given what our school stands for, we are kind of not really supposed to be good at sports. But that's not true. We're actually pretty good at all sports, except for basketball, for some weird reason.

Coach Brody has been pushing us harder than ever to beat Goode. He swam in the Olympics and has been the reason that we've been winning for 20 years straight.

"Take your stances and get ready to jump in. We're racing for a piece of chocolate cake, here!" Coach Brody said. The whole team cheered because, to be honest, who doesn't love chocolate cake?

At his whistle, I jumped in, my short red hair getting in my face. (A/N like Ron Weasley's hair). Today, I decided not to wear a swim cap because I just didn't want to. TOTAL SAVAGE. I know right, so cool.

I came in first, as per usual. Coach Brody handed me the chocolate cake and I immediately smiled and thanked him for it.

"Great practice boys! See you tomorrow for the big meet!" Coach Brody said, dismissing us.

I walked into the locker room, immediately plugging my nose as I walked in. The locker room smell has only gotten worse. Aren't there cleaning ladies at this school?

I grabbed my bag and walked out as fast as I could go.

I waited in the parking lot for my twin brother, Liam, to pick me up. He was always late for everything and I was always early. I went to a school for smarts, he went to a school for drama. He got into trouble, I didn't. Basically, he was the polar opposite of me. Our relationship is not the best anyways.

Finally, he pulled up to the school. Thank God I wasn't that trash can that he just knocked over, or I would be smushed.

I got into the car and shut the door. I looked over at the person who shared the same looks as me, who was just staring at me blankly.

"Drive," I said, gesturing to the road.

He sighed and pressed on the gas, while I was about to pass out from his crazy driving.

•••

Will you shut up already?!

That stupid alarm clock was blasting in my ear, almost causing me to go deaf.

6:40 a.m.

I got out of bed, grumbling as I pulled my clothes on and brushed my teeth.

I walked downstairs to grab breakfast quickly, so I could leave.

Don't you just love brothers who go to different schools and aren't willing to drive you! Because I don't.
