"Okay so you see the deep end floating cone." He pointed to the cone. Its half of half on the lake. We were at the shallow.


"We swim there and back here. Who comes first wins" he explains.


"Seems easy enough" I say smug and playful manner.


"Okay in 3. . . 2. . . 1. . . "


"WAIT A SECOND" I yell.


"What?!" he said.


"Can I get a 5 second head start?"


"Fine."


"Thank you." I give him a wink. I start to swim away but in a medium pace.


"I will start in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... NOW!" I hear faintly until he yells now. Now I wait till he gets close to me. 5 seconds later I feel him tug on my foot. Now I began swimming faster. I breathe and swim faster. I feel him on my side and we are swimming the same pace. I swim faster and I began to move in front of him. He is swimming underwater, what a bold move. I felt the cone and flipped my position and swam faster than before. He was now behind me. He probably didn't feel the cone. The cone practically hit me on the head. I was in front of him and I feel my feet hitting the sand. I was almost there. In 5 seconds I sit on the sand. I was in the shallow. I get up out of breath and wait for grey. He was 10 seconds away. I actually won a champion swimmer.


"How are you that good?" Grey asks me surprised.


"I though completely I was going to lose but you're really slow?"


"I ask again why are you so fast?"


"I was in swimming, well sort of."


"What do you mean sort of?"


"So I wanted to join swimming so I tried out and didn't make it so I practiced by myself for years."


"Damn. I am sorry."


"It's fine. Because of it I got better and was the coach assistant so I tried it myself after practices."


"Well you won a champion so that practically makes you a champion."


"Thanks. So now let's enjoy the lake."


"Alright, float with me."


"Sure."


"Hey Celine?" Grey asks sincerely. I get curious.


"Yeah Grey?."


"I love you" he says. My heart stopped. I looked his way.


"I love you too." I say with my widestsmile.
