A/N- Hey everyone! Here's my new story. It does have a lot of swimming in it, but that's because I just love my sport. I don't know how high school swimming on the east coast works since I live on the west coast. So they're going to have meets like I had. I'm sorry if they're not the same on the east coast. Enjoy!


"Last swim meet till League!" Reid Garwin exclaimed as walked out of the locker room and onto the pool deck of Spencer Academy. The deck was loud with anticipation since Spencer had a good chance of winning League this year. People littered the stands from both schools while the two teams were scattered on the pool deck.

"Now we just have to perform." Caleb Danvers said. He tucked his cap and goggles into the back of his suit as he looked at the other team. "Richardson's is supposed to be pretty good again this year. I heard they had some good stroke swimmers."

"We'll just see about that." Pogue Perry grinned. He was set on keeping his state title and no one from his league was going to take it.

"There girls are supposed to win league this year though. They haven't been beat in two years." Tyler Simms said. A few of the girls were in their suits stretching behind the blocks.

"Coaches, please send up your team captain." The official's voice rang over the sound system they had set up for the meet.

"I guess that's you Pogue." Caleb said. Pogue walked over to where Sandy, the women's captain and the Richardson's men's captain were standing.

"Where's your other Captain?" The official asked the Richardson's swimmer.

"I'm right here. Sorry, I had a lab that took longer than expected." A girl said as she walked up. She was tying her light brown hair back in a pony tail except for a few bangs that escaped the tie.

"Well, are you ready to swim?" The official asked, annoyed he had to wait.

"I will be." The girl said.

"Alright, I want all of you to introduce yourselves."

"Sandy McWitt."

"Pogue Perry."

"Vince Beckerman."

"Brook Evans."

The four team captains shook hands before the official started to talk about the rules. They were the same rules as every other meet that the teams went to so the captains started to zone out. Brook had continued to get ready for her race. She had taken off her green and white team jacket and produced her cap from her sweat's pocket. As soon as the official had released the captains they returned to their teams where they prepared for the cheers.

"Dude, Pogue, who was the chick with the brown hair." Reid asked. He looked over and pointed to Brook, who was talking to a few of the guys from her team.

"Her name's Brook Evans. She's Richardson's women's captain." Pogue said.

"She's hot." Reid said with a smile.

"Come on Reid, we've got the cheer."

The meet went on like all of the rest. The teams were closer than Spencer's swimmers would have liked, but they were still ahead. At the break Tyler was swimming laps in the pool. He had one relay and then the 100 Breaststroke before he was done. He had stopped on the wall when he noticed the water go calm in the lane next to him. Little waves were pouncing off of him, but once they hit the lane line they were gone. As he tried to find the source that was stopping the water Richardson's green and black cap popped up. Tyler broke his concentration and smiled at the swimmer next to him.

"Hi, I'm Brook."

"Tyler, Tyler Simms."

"You swim the breaststroke right?" Brook asked. She slid her goggles up her head and rested them on her cap.

"Uh, ya." Tyler said.

"Sean's worried about you. The two of you should have a good race when it comes." Brook said with a smile.

"Well then, I'm looking forward to it." Tyler said. "You swim the Free right?"

"Ya, mainly the 500 and 200 though." Brook said. "I can't stand the sprints." Tyler grinned and nodded his head.

"Brook! Meeting, now!" One of the guys from the other teams shouted. His hair was burnt blonde and his bangs fell into his face.

"Gotta go, good luck." Brook said with a smile. She put her goggles back on and sunk back into the water.

"Ya, you too." Tyler muttered.

"Tyler, coach is calling a meeting." Caleb said. Tyler took one look back at the water in Brook's lane and noticed it was rippled again. Brook was also getting out at the other end and was being greeted by the guy who had called her over. Tyler pulled himself up out of the water and walked to the corner where the coach was starting the meeting.

Tyler sat with Reid, Caleb, and Pogue near the coaches watching the woman's 500 Freestyle. Brook had taken the lead early, dropping Spencer's girls as well as her own teammates. To the guys she didn't look like she was trying that hard and at different parts of her race her tempo would get just a bit faster. When Brook finished she smiled at her lap counter, a girl who had similar features to her, so Tyler only guessed they were related. She then turned, smiled at her coach and a few people who were standing around him and then at Tyler. The smile didn't go unnoticed by any of the other Sons of Ipswich.

"Hey Tyler, shouldn't you be warming up?" Caleb asked. Pogue and Reid were getting ready to jump in the water.

"Ya, soon. There's still the relay." Tyler said.

About fifteen minutes later Tyler was standing behind his block. The guy who had called Brook out of the water was standing next to him stretching. "Good luck guys." Brook said. She smiled at Sean who barely returned it as well as smiling at Tyler. Tyler returned the grin, but turned away when the official called them onto the blocks.
