Water Love

Chapter 1 - Water, I just want water

As I stepped into the warm water all of my problems washed away. My mind was filled with amazing thoughts of a blue and salty ocean. That amazing feeling made me so happy and free.

But then Mr. Carl yelled my name and told me to start swimming. So I did.

Mr. Carl can be a nice person sometimes, but today he was in a bad mood. And so was I. I didn't think about what happened today since I was too busy feeling that amazing water in my soft skin.

After swimming 20 laps in a few seconds Mr. Carl lets me do whatever I want. So I swam by myself, since I have the privilege of having a track just for me. Just the water and me.

My best friend once told me that I look like a mermaid because I was always swimming at the bottom of the pool. One day she told me that I could be under water for like 4 minutes.

I think that water is my natural element.

I took a deep breath and my head immerged. 3 minutes later I heard Mr. Carl calling my name and I submerged and looked at him.

"What?" I asked.

"Got to go girl" He said checking me out. We all call him Mr. since he's like 29 and good looking. Anyway, he's too old for me and I'm too young for him.

"Just one more minute, please!" I begged him. He nodded his head in a big NO. Sometimes he lets me stay in the water for 20 more minutes because this is the last class of the day, but today he was too busy and annoying to let that happen.

"No, not today, I have a date" Every single girl looked at him and the boys laughed. Jessica, an annoying rich girl that I hated since the day I met her, looked like she had something stuck in her throat. I know that Jessica likes older boys, oh yes I know, but Mr. Carl is so, hum, old. I mean he's 29 and we all here have 18. Jessica is so naïve, Mr. Carl would never date her.

"Oh" she said. And Mr. Carl looked at her. "Good luck then" she said embarrassed, walking towards the crowds. The other girls followed Jessica and the boys went to the men's crowds too, letting me alone with Mr. Carl.

"Hey, girl..." he called me "Can you do me a favor?"

"It depends on the favor" he had a serious expression.

"So tomorrow a new boy is coming to your class. And your track is the only one that is not overcrowded, can he be your partner?" wait what? I was so happy seconds ago because I have a track just for myself and now he tells me that I'm going to have a partner, tomorrow? NO.

"No, no way" I nodded me head.

"Why not? He's not fat you know".

"That's not the point. The point is I want to be alone. And I don't even know the guy, he can be a pervert, he can try to take some under water photos of my legs"

He laughed so hard that I thought he was going to explode. After a few minutes he stopped laughing and he looked me straight in the eye.

"He's my brother, and he's going to be your partner if you want it or not. So I have to go, goodnight and don't you try to skip tomorrow's class, okay? I need you here with him."

"Wait! Mr. Carl! Carl!" he run away and left me there calling for him.

My head is a mess, I don't want a partner I'm good by myself. I don't need anyone. Never needed, never will.

A cold air caught my skin and I started to sneeze, so I made my way to the woman's crowd. I could hear Jessica cursing someone (maybe Carl) and all those girls around her.

I stepped into the shower and the warm water made me sneeze again. Nice, so now I started a cold, my day keeps going better and better.

I stepped out the shower and all the girls were gone. It's nice being alone right now.

All my thoughts came to me. What happened today was hard. My big brother called me to see this new movie in the backyard of our school but then he disappeared. I went and guess who was there? Jessica with my brother, making out. She planed it all. The movie, my brother, me seeing everything. I was so pissed that I ran to the beach.

Four hours siting in the sand and thinking why my brother did this to me? How could he? He was just one year older than me and we were big friends. Guess high school really changes people.

Another problem to solve tomorrow. Partner, this word makes me feel so annoyed and forced. And lots of questions start to pop out. First: is he really Carl's brother? I already knew he had a sister, but a brother? Since when? Krista, Carl's sister, was a year younger than me, she's a nice girl.

Second: What can I do tomorrow to keep the new boy away from my precious track? I could try... I don't know. I'm too tired to think.

Third: He is a guy. How am I going to talk to him? I barely can talk to my brother's friends. I guess I can talk to Mr. Carl because he doesn't care for me. Maybe I just ignore his brother tomorrow.

Atchin... Or maybe I'm going home now. I'm so cold.

A/N: I know this is a short chapter but more special things happen in the second chapter, so keepreadingbooks. =)
