Annet cobalt never meant for her life to go the way that it had gone really she didn't she never planned to have kids, she wanted to swim but she met someone, sadly it lead her away from the path she had set,

Tate and Chloe cobalt where born with in ten months of each other Tate born in January then Chloe born December then there father left a couple months after Chloe was born not being able to care for them,

They looked identical in the way that a brother and sister could the same beach blond curls the same smile the same siver blue eyes, they wore similar clothing in blue and pink colours even though they wherent twins and had different birthdays they where treated as one person for a very long time,

From a very young age of about 2 Tate and Chloe had been swimming training for the Olympuis there mother was a single mother and had to bring her young children to the meet and practices, she wanted them to become swimmers as well, it had been her dream to go to the Olympics but she never quite got there.

So Tate and Chloe sat in the pool bleachers watching the swimmers from when they were old enough to pay attention to anything,

Chloe found the swimmers amazing the why they pushed them selfs forward she wanted to be with them

Tate found in increasingly boring how could anyone love racing when diving and exploring the water was so much better, he wanted to be alone

But at seven they were put on their first swim team a kiddy team no big deal everyone when's home with a trophy or medal. Most meaning nothing but you showed up,

Chloe loved swimming and could swim faster then most her age she won all sorts of awards and broke records

Tate on the other hand wasn't he could swim but not nearly as fast as Chloe could and he didn't truely like it swimming for sport wasn't his thing he enjoyed swimming in lakes and at coves diving deep under the water to fell the silence of the world then break the top coming up to finally breath

At the age of five Chloe and Tate would do everything together they shared everything even there mother but when seven rolled around and they both started swimming on the team everything changed

Everywhere Chloe prevailed high marks first places mothers affection she had it all Tate had descent grades nothing special normally came in third or fourth, and his mother was preoccupied with his sister,

Every kid just wants attention and love so Tate found other ways to get it maybe not the love but the attention starting fights with his mother for no reason showing up late to her beloved swim practices doing poorly at meets to annoy her

Chloe didn't understand why her brother had turned on her and her mother, or why she had lost the best friend she had ever had.

To Chloe and Tate grade 8 was just going to be another year and for Chloe it still was nothing more then learning and swimming,

Tate go in trouble a lot mostly by the gym teacher well maybe the math teacher or home room, truely they all got him in trouble for something not paying attention being a smartass, or refuning to partisapy in a game of douge ball that had been his main offender since it seancied him to working as the gym teacher and basketball coach for the high school assistant for the basketball season,

Witch meant he had to clean up the gym after practice keep the water jug full and watch every game to review patterns at first it was the worst thing that he had e eat had to do but then well then he watched Alex Jones play in the second game.

Tate found something about him self, he was attracted to guys,  Alex Jones he was a ninth grader on the basketball team, he has short messy black hair and dashing green eyes Tate met him after getting detention with the gym teacher and sentenced to work at the game for three weeks

"Hey water boy you new round here" Alex asked one half time to Tate as he sat quietly next to the water jug,

"No I go to the elementary school, I'm in grade eight" Tate shrugged brushing his dust brown hair out of his sliver eyes,

"You got detention with couch mark then"

"Mr Ray, yeah I'm not very good at gym or following instructions now that I think about it I get in quite a of trouble," Tate sighed causing Alex to laugh a deep laugh making Tate blush.

"Your so little but nicely built, what do you do" Alex asked looking over Tate

"I- um I swim, I'm not very good," Tate but his lower lip as Alex moved closer leaning up against the wall,

"Are you straight" Alex asked

"No are you," Tate whispered

"No, are you closeted," Alex asked taking a drink from his cup

"Not exactly why" Tate shrugged he wasn't closeted but he never really came out of the closet to anyone his closest friends just knew

"I don't take closeted boys out," Alex finshed his water moving even closer to Tate

"Are you asking me out" Tate bit his lip

"Yes how's Friday at 7," Alex sighed he just expected for Tate to say yes

"Okay," Tate smiled to him self

"Met me at the spoon, I'll be waiting" Alex whispered then got up walking over to his team mates like nothing had happened Tate ruffled his hair watching Alex for the rest of the night,

"I think are little water boys got a crush on you Alex" Tj poked Alex side as they headed to the change room

"Good thing I'm taking him on a date on Friday," Alex waved over to Tate as they dispred into the change room,

"Hi I'm Cyrus, I'm tj the team captains boyfriend," Cyrus a guy that was at every game came over to introduce him self,

"Tate, I'm Tate, I'm here because of detention," Tate smiled Cyrus had this look about him careful yet caring

"I know the coach told me I'm always at the games," Cyrus nodded he slung his back pack over his shoulder giving me a grin. "I hope to get to know you better, and with Alex hes sweet and kind but he moves his relationships a little bit fast so if your not ready just make sure to tell him so," Cyrus told Tate as he walked over to Tj as the man walked out of the locker room they then disappeared through the gym and many others did.

Tate was excited but he kept thinking of Cyrus words,

Cyrus was really the couch's assistant he knew the terms, where everyone was all the time, and some how he could see right through Tate at the Thursday practice Cyrus plopped him self right next to Tate opening his math textbook,

"Your nervous about this date with Tate aren't you" Cyrus asked tilting his head to look at Tate with Cyrus kind smile,

"No maybe I don't know I barely know his name" Tate said no louder then a whisper,

"His full name is Alexander Raphael obsidian Ray-Jones, he only goes by Alex jones, the only sport he can play is basketball his mother comes to every game he says he hates it but he's lying, if I say any more there no point to getting to know him," Cyrus rambled "he's a good guy, if you give him a chance"

To Tate letting anyone to close was dangerous, to easy to brake him when they left,
