As the whistle blew, I dived off the platform and started swimming. A fraction of my heart was filled. A fraction. Nothing else. My desire to swim was only halfway fulfilled. I still felt empty. Swimming in a national team only satisfied a part of me. I smashed my hand at the end of the pool and looked at the scoreboard across 100 meters. Jean kirchstein- 1st. It was over. Even though I had won, I was quite mutual about it. I wasn't happy nor sad. Heck, I didn't even know what I was feeling at the moment. I stepped out of the pool as my team congratulated me. I didn't want to be rude so I gave them a hinted smile. My team already knew I was moody everyday so that didn't try to sugarcoat it. After my team congratulated me and celebrated, I headed back towards my dorm in Trost. My roommate wasn't home yet and I got a slight hint he was banging his boyfriend somewhere else.

I grabbed my computer and some ice cream and settled down in my bed. I glanced over at the time. 8:46pm. I had some time before it was time to sleep. I caught up with my swimming anime eventually ending the season. I had nothing to do with my life anymore than wait for the 3rd season. I scrolled on my Netflix and a movie caught my eye. It was called blackfish and there was a whale at the front. I watched the complete movie and fell in love. All the interesting facts about whales and water filled my brain as the credits ran on my screen. Even though the objective of the movie was to raise awareness for killer whales, It sort of fueled my desire to train with sea animals. I glanced at the time again, being sort of cautious with the time since I didn't want to sleep late. 2 hours had passed already and I decided to go to sleep. That Saturday while I was in bed, I said to myself, "I may want to visit seaworld tommorow."

I woke up, actually happy. I was excited for my visit to sea world. I had to do some research on the amusement park before I could go. I found out that there was one in California, Florida and unbelievable one in Trost. I wasn't worried about going alone. I basically spend every moment of my life alone. I took a shower and eventually put in a black and gray hoodie with some Jeans.

I drove over to the park with a smile on my face. If my parents saw me right now I think they would send me to an asylum or a hospital. After I passed the whole process of getting a ticket and finding parking, I stepped in the park and the territory felt so new to me but also a bit nostalgic. I went on some rides, fed some animals and I literally felt like a kid at a candy store. I was a little disappointed that a nice place like this was in the verge of closing due to whale aggressiveness. Before I left I decided to watch the Shamu show. I found a place to sit close to the soak zone. I figured it was worth the water to see the show close up. A trainer came out a said a few party lines. I focus my vision on him. He had freckles and dark hair. He really caught my eye. Even more than the blackfish movie. There was just something about him that seemed familiar. That's right, I've seen him at school. I didn't really know much about him but I had seen him around.

"Hi I'm Marco and this is Kalina. Welcome to the Shamu night show!"

He spoke into his microphone making his angelic voice loud and clear to my ears. I snapped out of my thoughts whispering no homo back and forward in my head. He rode the whale around the pool and the whale sprang up and dove down with Marco. I was on the edge of my seat and worried that Marco wouldn't rise back up. The weight was lifted off my shoulders when that familiar freckled face came out of the water.

A few splashes later the show was over and with a frown I exited the stadium. I headed back home Satisfied with my day. I was glad to see Marco there and I didn't really know why. I was just looking forward to school tomorrow and maybe run into him. I opened my door to my room and quickly darted my eyes away from the view. Eren and Armin were full on banging in the middle of the room. "Eren, put your dick back in your pants and let me in!" I yelled. A couple of minutes later the door opened revealing a blushing Armin.

"Eh, sorry Jean I'm leaving. Bye Eren, love you!" Armin yelled over his shoulder.

I sent him a glare as he left making him uncomfortable. That's right and never come back whore. I went straight to bed not even in the mood to deal with Eren. I went to sleep and turned off the lights not caring if Eren was still awake. Even though I was still pretty pissed, the thought of Marco and his perfect freckled filled my mind, sending me into a peaceful sleep.
