Trying to sleep that night was impossible with the thoughts and feelings which ran through my mind on constant reply all night long. Six o’clock came all too early, with the alarm ringing through my mind like a bell which couldn’t be stopped. It was time to wake up. Of course for that to happen I would have had to have been asleep first, either way I still had to be at the pool in just under thirty minutes for the start of the gruelling three hour early morning swim session followed, no doubt, by Coach Martin giving us yet another one of his famous speeches on how we all need to pick up the slack and train harder, apparently the fact that we were in the top three swim teams in the country wasn’t enough for him, he had to be the best. There were some positives of swimming practise, it wasn’t completely doom and glum; although it did seem that way to each of us, and that’s was that James also swam. He could easily outswim a shark and would easily have found Nemo in half the time which Pixar had taken to but the plot together, he was THAT good. He had always been better than I was from we were little, but that didn’t stop our friendly competition as I tried year after year to one up him, failing each time to do so.
Pouring the milk into my dry cereal, I couldn’t help but allow my mind to wonder back to the events of the previous night and how Lily had been upset about whatever it was she wasn’t telling me, I had to find out what it was. Just as I put the last spoonful of cornflakes into my mouth I heard the loud and bothersome horn of James’ fabulous Ford Thunderbird raddle through the walls of the house as he pulled up outside, he was early. Frantically I searched high and low for my missing shoe which I had kicked off into the mountain of mess which lay in my room the night before. Again I hear the blast of the Thunderbird ring not only through the house but the entire neighbourhood, the neighbours were not going to be happy about the early wake up call. Opening the door I signalled to James to wait just a minute until I found my other shoe, he understood, it hadn’t been the first time I had to wait on him for the exact same thing, although looking at the size of his house it was understandable that things would go missing from time to time. Hopping from room to room, I finally spotted my missing size 9 Converse buried under a toppled pile of unorganised clothes, time to hit the road.
Peering through the shiny windows of the red convertible, I couldn’t see anybody, which struck me as strange. Usually Lily had to get dropped off at cheer practise on the way to swimming, and James normally picked up Lucas to come with us before he reached my house but today there was nobody.
“Where is everybody?” I questioned looking in puzzlement at James who seemed, as he always did, too happy for this time of the morning. With his fair hair sitting flawlessly with wax through it, despite the fact it would only get wrecked again in the pool and his wide open eyes, James always had to look his best just in case.
