Monday morning 9:00 am:

The city bus pulled up to a stop in front of the local community center simply known as, "The Center". The bus doors opened and out came a blonde hair girl with her hair up in a ponytail wearing a pair of men's dark blue swim trunks that had a white stripe going down both sides ending just below her knees, light blue vans, a light blue 'white' beater and dark aviators. She was holding a dark gray gym bag and chewing a piece of mint gum.

Her name is Brittany S. Pierce and she recently acquired a job as a lifeguard at The Center. Usually during the summer she works with her dad, "Pop", in their family's car repair garage but she wanted to switch it up this summer cause when the summer is over she will begin her freshman year of high school.

As she walked towards the main entrance of The Center she thought about how this summer is going to be awesome. I mean, come on, she gets to chill by a pool and watch girls walk around in bikinis. Who doesn't want to do that? Oh yeah, by the way, Brittany is SUPER gay. She can't help but laugh at the shocked look on people's faces when they find out that she's gay. They make really stupid comments like, "But you're too pretty to be gay!" or "I'm sure I can fix that." She's decked a few guys that seemed to think they are the "cure" for lesbianism. What the hell?!

Anyways, she entered The Center and walked up to the front desk. There were two guys at the desk the young one was her friend that helped her get the job.

"Hey Sam! How are ya?" She asked.

Sam really was a nice guy but sometimes it took him forever to catch up in a conversation, but Brittany's the same way sometimes. They had been friends 6th grade when Sam tried to hit on her and she flat out denied him. She wasn't trying to be mean but he was defiantly not her type. Sam, unlike others guys, was great about it and asked if she wanted to play some basketball. They instantly became friends and have been ever since.

"Hey Britt! I'm good! How about you? First day of guarding the lives of all swimmers!" Sam replied with a huge smile. Actually it was just a normal smile but the guy mouth was so freaking big, really, it's crazy.

"I'm all good. It'll defiantly be different from working at the garage with Pop but I'm excited."

"Good. I'm glad. Oh, before I forget here is your certificate for completing the lifeguard training course." Sam said.

"Cool, thanks. I'm gunna go change my shoes and put my stuff in my locker and head out to the pool. See ya later, Sam." Brittany replied with a wave while she started to walk towards the locker room.

The employees all shared a locker room but the girl's side is separated from the guy's side by a curtain so that there is at least some privacy. Brittany put her bag in her locker after she changed her shoes to black water shoes. They look exactly like vans except they are made up of mostly netting. When she locked everything away she headed out to the pool. She's supposed to be wearing bright red trunks but the Center buys those for the lifeguards and they should be in by the time she goes on break. The head lifeguard's name is Jesse St. James; he was probably in his early 20's. He was the one that taught the training course she had to take to get the job. Jesse also told her that she could wear whatever bikini top of shirt she wanted to. So under her light blue 'white' beater she had on a black bikini top because it would go with anything.

Once she got to the pool she saw the other lifeguard. Jesse had told her that they always have at least 2 lifeguards on duty at all times. The other lifeguard must have seen her because he started walking towards her. They each had neon red lanyards with a whistle and a laminated card that had all the emergency codes on it, plus they both had neon red, waterproof radios so they could keep in contact with each other from across the pool as well as the rest of the staff.

She walked a few steps to meet him. He immediately smiled at her and introduced himself.

"Hey, I'm Diego Lopez. You must be new, I mean I've only been working here for like a week but I haven't seen you around." He said while he extended him hand towards her.

She smiled back, "Yeah this is my first day. I'm Brittany Pierce, by the way. It's nice meet you Diego."

Brittany had to admit that if she was into guys, she would defiantly be interested in Diego. He had caramel colored skin, short black hair and bright hazel eyes. He seemed like he smiled a lot which worked for him because he had a great smile.

"Cool. What school do you go to? You look familiar but I can't place it." Diego asked with brow furrowed.

"Oh well I went to Justice Jr. High but I'm going to McKinley High this year, how about you?" Brittany replied

"Yeah that's gotta be it. Did you play sports at Justice? I went to Lake Jr. High but I'm also going to McKinley High next year too."

"I played basketball when I went to Justice. I'm gunna try-out for the McKinley team later in the summer. I remember we played against Lake's girl team." Brittany said with a grin remembering how they creamed Lake's team.

Diego laughed, "Yeah that's it, I went to that game. Man your team kicked our team's ass! It was epic! Seriously, it was well worth the admission fee." He replied

Brittany laughed as well, "Honestly that game was so much fun. Did you play for the guy's team?"

"Yeah I did but we won that game against your team. It was a close game though." Diego smiled

"Okay I remember you now. You got fouled and hit that those free throws perfectly." Brittany pointed at him

"Yep but you totally carried your team. Don't get me wrong, your whole team was great but you still carried them."

Britany was about to reply but then Jesse showed up next to them.

"Hey guys how's it going out here?" He asked

Brittany and Diego both nodded their heads. "It's fine. It's been pretty calm." Diego said

"Great guys, I just wanted to check on you. I'll come by later." And with that Jesse walked away.

"We should probably go to our posts. Hey do you wanna shoot some hoops after our shift's over?" Diego commented once Jesse was out of earshot

"Yeah we should. For sure!" Brittany replied

"Cool I was gunna shoot some with my friend Mike who also works here. If we find another person it can be a 2-on-2." Diego said trying to think of someone

"I can ask my friend Sam. He works up at the front desk. I'm supposed to see him when I go on break." Brittany said, positive that Sam will be up for it.

"Great! It's on then. I'm gunna go back to my side of the pool. See ya soon?" Diego said excitedly

"Yeah for sure." Brittany replied and the walked away from each other
