Chapter One: What the hell?

Adrenaline was pumping through my veins as I went faster, and faster and still faster. I just kept going, long strokes, my arms pushing in front of me while my legs kicked and pumped behind me, I kept pushing harder until I felt as though I would go limp from exhaustion. I pushed myself till my arms, and legs felt jell-o and still pushed myself faster than ever before. Faster and faster I chanted to myself.  

 I pushed myself faster until I reached the smooth tiled pool wall and raised my head out of the water seconds before the bell went off , feeling exhaustion surround me. As I look around, I realize I  was first to finish, but was soon joined by many other all panting much like me.

Not 3 seconds later does the bell go off signaling I am the winner. 

Not 5 seconds later does a loud booming voice speak from the speakers and speaks the voices that fill me with utter joy. "1st place Nikki Ninkson..” I don't hear the rest. 

Did I just hear right? I just won? 

I WON!

 Me, Nikki Ninkson, Junior at Plington High School just won. But wait a minute, I don't remember coming here. Come to think about I don't remember how I was accepted to compete either. All well, I just fcking won!

  I pulled my body out of the cool water, that was surprisingly comfortable, and sat sitting with my feet dangling over the edge of the pool, too happy for words. I adjusted my goggles so they now rested on top of my light violet swimmer cap and stood up.

 I  tipped my head up, stuck up my chest, straightened my shoulders, and strolled over to the judging area where 1st, 2nd and 3rd  place would get their metal. 

But of course me being me, I slipped on some stray water and fell on my butt. I went soaring into the pool. As I tried to push myself up and out of the water but was unable to move.

There was a pale white hand gripping onto my wrist. I slowly followed my eyes up and into the eyes of Gandof the Gray from The Lord of Rings or should I say white because he was wearing white?  

 As Gandof's beard slowly sways in the water, he opened his mouth from which I was expecting a deep intimating voice, but to my surprise heard, " Nicola Julie Ninkson ,get up right now or you'll be late for school." Wow he sure sounds a lot like my mom...

It's then I suddenly realize I'm still under the water and wondered how I could be holding my breath for this long. But soon everything disappears and I can soon feel the soft cushions of my baby blue comforter, the soft sound of birds early morning calls and sounds of the woods rustling.

I soon open my eyes to see my windows open, causing a gentle Spring breeze to toss my hair.

"Nicola-"  my mom started again, but I cut her off with my own morning voice still drowsy from my dream and yelled back, "Jeez mom I'm up, I'm up. Just shut up.” The last part was much too quiet for mother to hear.

 I quickly run into my bathroom and plug in my straightener. I then brush my dark brown, mahogany colored hair, getting out the all snarls that I got while I was sleeping. After that I straighten it, admiring how it brings out my dark blue eyes out so well.

I proceeded to apply some pale blush to my slightly pink cheeks and a few stokes of mascara to my eyes. I then quickly grabbed some clothes and dressed in dark jean shorts and a bright yellow short sleeve, off the shoulder shirt, finishing it with big heart necklace and yellow and white stripped flip-flops.

Grabbing a brown hair tie and slipping it around my wrist, I add a quick coat of clear vanilla smelling lip gloss on my lips and then slip it into my jacket pocket walking out of the bathroom

Grabbing my over the shoulder back which contains my cell phone, wallet, homework, books, my iPod touch and keys. Pulling my keys out of my bag ,I begin to swirl them around my pointer finger and walked out the door to my car grabbing a pop tart and yelling a quick farewell to my mom.

Hopping in my cute blue bug ,that I got for my 17th birthday a few months ago, I start engine up and start to hum along to the radio then sing and only to get louder as the right to school goes on,

You say that I messing your head yayayaya

All cause i was making out with your friend yayayaya

Love hurts whether its right or wrong yayayaya

I can't stop cause I'm having too much fun yayaya

Your on your knees begging please stay with me

But honestly I just need to be a little crazy

I was now full on screaming ,screw it if people heard me, I was having too much fun.

All my life I've been good but now ohhhhhhh-

"WHAT THE HELL?!"  I screamed as I slammed on my brakes so I won't hit  the piece of crap car that cut me off as I was pulling into the schools parking lot. To be honest it wasn't a piece a car it was a silver Comaro but it still cut me off.

While I was closing my door to my car, making sure to do it gently so I wouldn't be heard. I turned to the owner.  I soon discovered it was a a boy around my age about 6'2 a few inches taller than my  5'8 self.

 Taking in his appearance I saw he was wearing black jeans, not too low. He was wearing a tight muscle fitting black shirt and a leather jacket over with black vans, finished with black jeans.He had brown chestnut shaggy hair hung over his piecing blue eyes. I couldn't help but get the vibe that he was a player.

Walking over to him meeting me half way between where our cars are, I yell putting my hands on my hips and shooting his a venomous glare that I have spent many years to perfect, " What the hell was that?!" Pointing to my car to his showing him what I meant.

"What the hell was that?!”he mimics me, which I have to say was horrible, I do not sound like that. " That was me wondering what the hell was dieing in your car to make you sound like that." Smirking at me. Yup, definitely a player.

"That's no excuse for why your such an horrible driving. You fcking cut me off!" Stepping close so we were nearly touching.

"Why so close? Couldn't stay away?" He asked smirking again, while moving so now his lips where breathing into my ears.

"No.”I said irritated. Has this guy ever hear of personal space?

He stayed like that for a few seconds just breathing in my ear and I couldn't help but shiver from the pleasure that shot through my body when he snaked his arms around my waist pulling me so close.

"Just admit it." he breathed into my ear causing me to snap out it and for a devious plan to come to my mind.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his face closer so we were nearly kissing. I trailed a trail of kisses from his chin all the way down to his neck causing him to moan slightly. I could imagine him smirking. I stopped when my lips where inches from his and he opened his eyes that were filled with lust, leaning in a little closer,but just as our lips were about to meet ;I pulled out of his embrace and sprinted to my car. Wow, usually I do not do stuff like kiss randoms guys I just meet, I thought running a hand through my hair.

I quickly started my car back up and with a quick wink and wave at a shocked and dumb-faced Mr. player I sped away and into the parking lot of my new school. Hurriedly parking, and getting out and looking at the big school, I winced thinking this would be no fun.

Or I said with a smirk. As starting walking into school throwing a wink or two at people staring.

Or this was going to be a hell of a lot of fun.
