Amy Stapleton and Liz Ricarro was trying to get Amy into the pool water, only for Amy to keep flinching back onto the rail. "Amy, it's okay. Everything's fine." Liz coaxed. Amy had tears in her eyes. She panicked and ran away. "Amy!" Liz followed Amy out the poolroom. Liz spent almost an hour, before she heard crying and sobbing. She tried to turn the doorknob, only to find it lock. "Damn it! Kiddo, open the door!" Liz shouted.

Amy flinched and pondered her choices. Keep crying and not get help or keep crying and face her protector. Amy chose the second choice and instantly let Liz in. Liz wrapped her arms around Amy protectively. "Liz, I can't do it!" Amy sobbed. Liz hushed her and kissed her forehead.

"Hey, don't give up like that." Liz encourages Amy. Amy let a whimper.

"I'm deemed unteachable for this." Amy warned. Liz just snorted.

"Why?" Liz asked.

"My teacher deemed me unteachable because I wouldn't let go of his hands." Amy explained.

"I don't believe shit just like that! Amy, you know I know better than that." Liz told Amy.

"Maybe, I'm better off dead." Amy says, earning her a pinned position by her protector. "Ow! Don't hurt me!" Amy screeched. Liz softened her grip on Amy's arms.

"Sorry, it's just that I..." Liz trailed off, tangling her fingers in Amy's long blond hair.

"It's okay." Amy told the older girl.

"You're cute." Liz exclaimed.

Amy let a blush creep across her face.

After they got back to the pool, they received faces from their teammates. "Ignore them, kiddo." Liz told Amy.

Amy finally let her legs into the pool water. She hugged Liz's wet body form and Liz's body stiffened. Not from the hug, but from an unwanted visitor. A man had came in with a gun and Liz speedily got Amy to the surface to the stairs. Liz put Amy on the wooden ground and got out. She held Amy with her arms tightly.

"Hey Lizzie." The man greeted. Liz 's hold on Amy only tightened. Miss Satomi held Jessie protectively.

"Get out of here, Adam. You're not welcome here." Satomi says, coldly. Amy looked at the man and she felt Liz's hand slip around her waist.

"Ah, another kid, huh? Your past...Did you tell her that?" Adam asked creepily. Liz growled and met Amy's innocent blue eyes.

What is Liz's past and how does this man connect with it? Will Amy accept Liz even after learning her past? These questions will be answered in Chapter 2! Please read to learn more about Liz!
