On arriving, you hop off the bus and go into the complex, you know this place like the back of your hand and it was too early for any queues so you quickly got to the changing rooms. Your legs still felt a little funny from before, it wasn't uncomfortable but somehow it just felt like you could feel the fabric of your jeans more. The reason for this was soon revealed. While getting ready, you noticed that all the hair had vanished from your legs leaving them smooth. No need to panic, one of your mates had obviously sneaked into your room and shaved your legs in your sleep, either that or your brother, yeah that had to be it. You also noticed that someone had put an electric pink swimming cap in your bag, "Grr, Josh... When I get back I'm going to make him pay", you say to yourself. Swimming caps were mandatory so you had no choice but to wear it.
Poolside, you join the rest of your group and wait for the coach. On the other side, there she is, annoyingly wearing the same colour swimming cap, "Oh great, now its going to look like I'm so desperate that I'm copying her". "Oi mate, nice cap" comes a mocking tone from behind. Looking round you see he has a big grin on his face, Joe, you'd known him for quite a while, he was alright but delighted in taking the mick out of anyone.
"Give over will you? Anyway, it doesn't matter what colour hat I've got, I'm still going to beat you today", you say in retaliation returning the big grin.
After a few more minutes the coach turns up and begins explaining the session ahead and the 'big event' coming up where only the fastest male and female swimmer would be entered in for. Once that was over, the other lads get set away swimming but the coach pulls you to one side. "I've got my eye on you my boy, between you and me I think you'll be the one we take to nationals but I still want to see you working hard out there. Oh and by the way I see you've finally got around to shaving those forests you call legs there, as well as the bright pink swimming cap? I see someone's embracing their feminine side." You laugh it off. "Now get going, 8 lengths freestyle warm up, chop chop!"   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
