Just another rowing story (Completed)

Chapter twenty-four ( Rowing again)

                     (Lee's  Pov)

It was just after the regatta and all of us were extremely  tired. We still had  rowing on Monday.

Monday  was cold and rainy with no hint of sunshine. Dan wanted us all to train because he thought our rowing at the regatta was pathetic. He was so adiment on getting us all to row. He was just being so extra today.

"Girls the rowing i saw at the regatta was pathetic! It looked like you had never rowed in your life!" Said Dan with an annoyed face. You could really tell he was not happy. 

" So today girls some of you will be rowing on your own on some of the boats. The rest will row together."  So Dan decided to make me row on my own. I knew he would do this out of revenge. He also made Cat and Liya row on their own as well.

So i walked slowly to the boats making sure i wasted time. I figured if i wasted time i didn't have to row that much. The weather was surely not inviting. It was instead not welcoming us out but Dan wanted to force his way in. I went and grabbed a boat and dragged it to the river. As i placed it into the river, the water pushed against the boat making it rock forwards and backwards. With every push the boat got more and more dirty because of what was in river. The water was salty and sticky. You could see dead fish and all sorts of things coming up to the surface of the water.

It was gross. I said my prayers hoping the Lord would promise to not let me fall into that river. Who knows what type of diseases i could get. I was so close to my 21st birthday and to think just one dip in  the water can ruin everything. Just seven more years to go and then i would be 21.

So i took a deep breath and got into the boat. I started rowing slowly. Making sure that i would not fall. It felt good to be in the water.  Letting my blades glide on the water. Just using my body as if i am on an ergo. Just pulling up and forward. This was the true feeling of rowing. To have the ability to glide over the water like a fairy. I was enjoying myself until i heard a shout from behind me. "Lee watch out!" I turned to see the boys oct coming  towards me. It was coming at top speed and frankly i was in their way.

So with out thinking i tried to turn away from them but it was too late. As they got to me they hit my boat causing my boat to tumble over. And i just fell into the dirty water. In the cold rainy day. What bad luck i had.

                       Sunday
It was the day after the regatta. I was exhausted and at the same time puzzled. What did those boys know and what were they trying to find in our bus? It was such a mystery but i knew what i had to do. It was time to speak to Ed. I had avoided him for too long, we needed to talk everything out.

So i picked up my phone and dialed his number.  It began to ring. Was this really the right time to speak to him Cat? You need to understand the problem? These questions propelled me to wait for him to answer. I understood why he might not answer it was like four in the morning.

The phone continued to ring until i heard a voice. " Hello this is Ed." I could not get any words to come out my mouth. It was like my words had been lost and i could not find them. Ed spoke again. " Hello, is anybody there?" So i took a deep breath and spoke. " Ed this is Cat. I am ready to talk."

          (The week before, when Ed  
                      called)
"Huh Ed? How did you get my number?" " Cat that is not important right now i need to speak to you about something." He sounded like he was sad and rather confused.  I really wonderd why. " Okay Ed talk." He was silent for a few seconds.  He probably was trying to gather his thoughts.I could hear him breathing in and out, through the phone. So waited for him to talk. Waited for him to gain his self- confidence back.

" Cat i think Lee likes me. And i don't know what to so about it because i may have feelings for you." As i heard that my heart sank. These were not supposed to be the words that come out of his mouth. " Ed your kidding right? I know you like Lee not me. " "Cat i am not kidding i actually have feelings for you. I don't know how to explain it. I just..." "Just shut up Ed! Don't say that! You are supposed to like Lee not me!" I felt so sick, what would i say to Lee now that i knew Ed liked me? This would crush her and crush our friendship. She would never trust me again.

I had to fix this. "Ed you are just delusional. Get your facts straight. You like Lee not me. So don't call me call her! Tell her you like her and don't say that you spoke to me about this. You hear? Now bye." I just literally hanged up on Ed. I was so damn pissed at him.

How could he do this to Lee? He is so selfish.

                        ( Lee's POV)

As i fell into the water i could feel the icey water touch ny skin. Making my skin become extremely numb. I could bearly see in the water it was very dark and dirty. I could feel the trash floating in the water, the fish as they passed by me. As i looked up i could see my boat turned upside down.

It was such a shame it had to be hit by the other boat. I finally decided to resurface. As i surfaced i could see my teacher on her boat trying to give me a hand. Dan was obviously no where to be found.

As the teacher pulled me out the water i winced. I felt shot of pain from my leg. When i looked at it i saw that i had a fish bitting me. "Aaahhhhh!  What the hell!"

                     (Cat's POV)
           
  
                   ( Back to Sunday)
"Ed lets hear it." It seemed like he was so surprised to hear my voice. "Cat, oh wow you actually called. How are you feeling?" "Ed, just get to the point." I had summoned all my courage to call him and now he was just wasting my time. "Cat, i really did not plan on hurting Lee. I didn't even know she liked me. I thought we were just friends. But, but. I just don't know anymore. What do you think i should do."

A tear escaped my eyes and slided down my face onto my lap.  Just hearing those words come out of his mouth just tore me apart. "Ed how could you ask me such a question? That's my friend that you will be hurting. You better come up with a solution about this. End of story bye." With that i hanged up. I stared at the wall as more tears started coming out. This was all his fault and now he was dragging me into his problems.

This is to much for me. I need to rest. With that i fell into a deep sleep. Hoping that when i woke up everything would be okay and Ed would have fallen  in love with Lee. That's all i wanted and needed right now. I didn't want to loose my friend.

                           (Lee's POV)

This was just great. I got bitten by a fish and i am starving. I wanted to roast the fish that bit me and eat it. But the teacher just pulled it off my leg and threw it back into the river. That could of been my lunch.

The good thing was that Dan had to carry me back to the rowing building so i could get proper first aid.  He was so not happy. I pretended to not be able to walk so he had to carry me everywhere. "Dan would you be a darling and carry me outside so i can see if my mom is here?" "No way you are so heavy. You probably weigh more than a horse."  "Dan that is no way to talk to an injured student or even a lady for that matter. I am injured remember." I said with a grin on my face.

This was my turn to make his life horrible. Hahaha this is my time for pure revenge.
