15. A life worth remembering

A life worth remembering

Alex's POV

She had amnesia, she didn't remember anything...

Flasback (4 years ago) 13 to 14 years old

Today was a big day for me and I was really nervous

I was the captain of the swim team of my school in Midvale and today was the first big competition since I took the mantle of the job

I was the youngest on the team and still the coach gave me the position without a second thought, but I had to prove myself, I had to prove to my teammates that I deserved it that, that it wasn't just because of favoritism or anything but because I was the best

We were in another school at the moment, it was a small one and the town even smaller, but I couldn't judge, it wasn't like Midvale was the biggest town in the country as well, but this town seemed a little more closed, I wouldn't even know the name of it if I wouldn't have to come here for this competition

Blue Springs, Nebraska

I wonder why it was named like that, mm maybe google it later if there is a page in Wikipedia of course

Anyways right now I was getting ready in the locker rooms of the school , which needed a little DIY by the way, and trying to calm my self down by listening to music

I was alone everyone else on my team was already outside warming up, I had done that earlier

The music was calming me down but then a noise brought me out of my concentration

A small, beautiful, brown haired girl came inside with a bag on her shoulder, she must be from the other team

She must not have noticed me because she started to strip down off her clothes, her blouse first, with her back on me and I was just standing there staring at her like a creep

My face was blushing so hard, my palms were sweaty and and my eyes wide open

I averted my eyes from her, trying not to startle her or anything

Why was I feeling like this?

She was just a random girl in the locker room, it wasn't like I knew her or anything, not of course that if it was anyone I knew, I would still feel like that

I heard some shuffling and then the door opening and closing, the nervous thing just heightened

I needed to focus but the only thoughts in my mind were of that girl

Focus you have to win, show everyone that you are worthy and to make your father proud of you

You could do this...you hoped at least

A horn blasted and you knew you had to step outside

Deep breaths...and go

I left the room and immediately was met with the roaring of a small crowd, even though small you could still hear it

There were some people from my school cheering and stuff, my parents were not apart of it

My dad wanted to come but he couldn't make it last minute, something happened in his job with uncle John and he had to go and my mom just didn't care enough about anything I did so I didn't expect her to be here , if it hadn't anything to do with my grades

Yeah...

Anyways back to the present, I was going to compete on the 100m freestyle and the relay being the fastest and all, but still it was nerve racking and all
