Chapter 6

Rebecca, our trainer came storming in. 

A few pills here and there were covered behind us as we all stood facing her, as if we were hiding someone behind us, but she didn't seem to notice.

"So girls, like I explained before, there will be three teams-" Rebecca was cut off.

"The tiger team, the unicorn team, and the swimming team," All of us spoke in a bored voice all at the same time. She had told us a million times. The tiger team had girls from a different pool and "unicorn team" was a team in our own swimming pool but they were younger girls. And we were called the swimming team, how lame. The trainer had chosen the name herself without asking us.

"Good, good, you all know, so let's go and do some practice dives," She informed as she rushed out of the room.

We all exchanged glances and then followed her out of the door, forgetting to clean up the rest of the spilled pills. When we got to the pool, we didn't see our trainer there.

"Over here girls!," we heard Rebecca's voice say from the other side of the pool next to the door that leads to the boy's swimming pool as she waved her hands up and down. She had some kind of tool kit or something.

"Wait, we're going to be swimming, there?" Chen asked.

"Yep," our trainer replied from the other side, her voice echoing through the walls of the large room.

Everyone started cheering up and down. We had never gone in there before except Cecelia since her dad, well like I mentioned a billion times, was the trainer there.

"Wait, why didn't it come to me before?" Zahra said all of a sudden, midway.

"What is it?" I asked, wondering what she was talking about while others stopped and waited in silence to hear her reply.

"Hello, if this is a competition, then parents will be coming right?" she said.

"What's your point, Z, what do you want to say?" Cecelia asked impatiently.

"Ugh, hello, there'll be men too!" Zahra complained, "I need to have modest clothes people."

"Oh no, what will we ever do!" Cecelia said sarcastically pretending to faint, putting her hand over her head, "I guess you won't participate then!"

Zahra fell silent. Chen rushed over to her.

"Enough, Cecelia, we'll just have to get some longer clothes and you can still participate, " Chen said as she patted Zahra on the shoulder. Me and Maddy also stood on Zahra's side.

"Girls, tell the trainer we'll be back," I shouted and me, Maddy, Chen and Zahra went to the girl's changing room. Suddenly, Nina also caught up with us.

We went inside the girls room and Zahra rushed over to her locker and pulled out her pants. Pants wer enough since our suits had long sleeves.

None of us noticed Rebecca watching us, in the room. Suddenly Nina gasped and nearly fell back.

"Rebecca! Wh-How? What-what are you doing, er- how did you get here?" She said barely holding the chair to keep her balance. Zahra, me, Maddy and Chen nearly collapsed too.

"What have we got here, "she said as she picked up a little pill from the ground.
