TEAM
It was the end of the first day of school and I headed off to my club. The swim club. I was met by loads of muscular people that looked very strong, well stronger than me anyway. If you looked at me compared to everyone else I look chubby.
I just hope it's different here to my old swim club in middle school. That was traumatising. I shall never speak of it again. I was standing in a row with everyone else and two seniors walk in. One was taller than the other, the taller one has dark brown hair he had his swimming club jacket on and swimming trunks. The other was a little shorter he had blonde hair and exactly the same outfit as the other.
"Hello everyone I'm dean the president and this win the Vice President, today we'll be doing an introduction and then taking times on everyone doing laps, as not all of you can join. Otherwise, we'll be over the club member limit." dean explained to us.
After the introduction, it was time to get in the pool. So far it was going alright the seniors seem nice enough. I feel safeish here. Just take a deep breath you can do it just get in the pool. You see this wouldn't be a problem if others weren't here, but they are so it kinda is a problem.
I turn around to the seniors and ask "can I be excused to go to the bathroom?"
"yes that's fine, team was it?" the blonde asked
"Umm...yes" not knowing what else to say to the senior, I walked off to the bathroom in the changing room. Once I had got there I went Into one of the cubicles and just sat on the lid of the toilet, trying to suppress the memories from flooding my head, to stop myself from reliving that traumatic experience over and over again.
Not realising how long I'd been in the toilet, I heard a knock on the door. "Team? Are you in there? if you want to be considered for the swim club, you actually have to try out" came from an unfamiliar voice.
"ah, yeah sorry. lost track of time"
"well hurry up"
Damn defiantly pissed him off. I walk out of the changing room back to the swimming pool, and as soon as I walk through the door, I see pharm and manaow having a normal conversation with P'dean, while P'win was getting the last set of people ready.
Come on team you can do this it's not that hard just believe in your self. The last lane left I one on the very end which is good just in case something happens. I walk up to the lane and get ready to dive in. As P'win starts the count down from 3 my head starts to go fuzzy and my eyes Blurry.
"3"
Breath.
"2"
Breath.
"1"
Get ready.
"Go"
I dive in, not sure what I'm doing I go with it. I let my body guide me. As I haven't done it in a long time. Faster. I need to pick up my Pace if I'm going to get into this club. I'm now swimming as fast as my rusty swimming skills can take me.
I'm first to finish. The second person to finish is 5 seconds behind me. I get out of the pool and join the line again. P'Dean starts to talk "thank you everyone who participated you will see the results as to who got in tomorrow. They will be posted on the swimming club bulletin-board." After P'Dean had finish talking everyone left and I went over to pharm and manaow.
"Wow, team that was so fast I'm shocked" pharm said amazed.
"Just wait till you see me in the water" a voice I've heard before but I can't remember who's said behind me. I turn around to see it was P'win. I role my eyes at him, and think I'm still rusty that's my first time getting in a pool in years.
P'Win looks at me and said "are you challenging me?" I look at him straight in they eyes and say "no of course not hia, I would never" I turn back to my friends, just going to ignore him. When the president of the swim club comes over and interlocks his fingers with pharm, you can see a light blush across pharms face.
"So when was I going to be informed of this?" I ask
"Um...today?" Pharm replies
"Okay well I'm going to get changed, see you In a bit" I told them. Walking away from the others I walk into the changing rooms.

I'm changed and now just packing the rest of my stuff away when...
"What's the nickname for?" A voice that is starting to get familiar said to me
"I just liked it is all" I said back to him
"Well..." I turn around to look at him, "I like it so keep calling me it" I could see his ears tinted red, Is he blushing, no impossible. Our eyes are locked together and there's no way of unlocking them, well that is until my phone rings.
"Hey mum, how are you!"
'I'm good honey how's school?'
"Yeah it's all good I'm really enjoying it"
'That's good honey'
"Yeah, mum I got in..."
'Son I'm sorry but I have to go'
Beep. Beep. Beep.
She put the phone down on me. Well i mean there's nothing new there. I look up around the room to see if P'win was still here but no he'd disappeared to.
