I hopped into the pool, exited for the 2 hours I had to be in the water. I glanced over to the warm-ups sheet my swim coach, Brittney, had set up for us. It read:
Warm ups:
400 freestyle
200 freestyle kick (in streamline)
3 50s catch up drill
3 25s sprint freestyle
Wow. I thought to myself. That's shorter than usual. They can be really long. Anyways, we finished warm ups and were floating with one hand on the wall in the deep end of the pool. And this deep end isn't your usual deep end. At nearly 20 feet deep, it's often used by the dive team.
"Hey Kevin?" the boy next to me, jack, asked. "Dare you to swim to the bottom of the deep end."
Ok, now let me get this straight. Kevin and jack may be the fastest kids on our swim team, but don't let them fool you. They're both equally annoying and stupid.
"What!?" Kevin responded, mortified. "No way! Even if I did my ears would kill me when I reached the bottom!"
"I'll do it." I said, surprising even myself. The boys raised their eyebrows at me.
"you sure eva?" my friend Ella asked.
I'm Eva by the way. There. Now you know that. Have a nice day. "yeah." I responded. "I got this. If I'm not back by the end of practice I'm dead." Looking back on that I probably caused a mass panic considering what's about to happen. Either way, I could tell my friends were about to protest, but I had already began to swim down.
I swam deeper and deeper down, looking for the very bottom. Then I saw it. A square, about ten feet on each side, marking the deepest spot in the pool. I swam down and touched a black tile on the bottom-BAM! There was a flash of searing light and I seemed to fall through the cement…
Please review! I'll get out more chapters as soon as I can! Thanks!
