Chapter 3: Try-outs and Dinners

I made my way to the dorm room. I was in a hurry to get changed before anyone saw me in my swimmers. I got to my room without being seen and unlocked the door. When I walked in Tiff was on the sofa playing on a laptop with her blonde hair up in a pony-tail. "Hey Tiff! Have you seen Nay-nay?" I asked

"Yeah, she's in the bathroom doing her hair" Tiff told me without taking her eyes off the laptop

I knocked on the bathroom door and waited for Janay to open it. She opened the door and looked amazing. She was wearing a really pretty purple shirt that was tight over her breasts, but then flowed out around her body and stopped around her mid thighs. Under the shirt she wearing a pair of simple jeans and her long dark blonde hair was let down to about her mid back. "Hey Nay" I said as she turned back to the mirror. "Morning Blade" she said as she turned back to the mirror "I'll be done in a minute" "That's alright. Mason's taking me to breakfast, so I was wondering, if you could you help me pick out something nice to wear?" I said winking at her in the mirror

"What? You mean Mason, as in THE Mason? Mason the headmasters' son? The one who Beck just dumped, because too many girls looked at him?" she asked, her eyes going wide

"Yes, that would be him" I said with a smile "I was in the pool racing him and the loser had to get the winner breakfast. I won, so he's coming to pick me up after he's dressed"

"Oh my God Tiff, get in here! " Janay yelled out the door "We need to do Blades' make-up now! Oh and get her some clothes too!"

"Yep, sure whatever" Tiff answered back

When Tiff came in, she was holding my short black skirt and the long black sleeved shirt I had slept in. Tiff dressed me, while Janay did my hair and make-up. I was looking at myself in the mirror and liking what I saw. Then we all heard the three quick taps on the door. Tiff and Janay both looked at me and smiled before pushing me to the door. I opened the door with a smirk on my face, only to have it fall when I saw a very tall guy standing at the door. Even thought he was cute, he wasn't the one we were all waiting for. He saw the disappointment on my face. "Oh sorry, I'm Michael" he said awkwardly "I'm Janay's boyfriend and you must be Blade… She told me you were coming." He gave me a big smile and a quick hug, before Janay came running over and jumped into his arms. She gave him a lingering kiss on the lips before leaning down to his ear to whisper "I've missed you"

He placed her back on the ground and gave her a kiss on the cheek "I missed you to, babe" Michael whispered back

Someone cleared their voice from behind Janay and Michael who were blocking the door. They both moved away from the door to reveal Mason standing behind them holding a single red rose. He saw me eyeing it and handed it to me saying "A rose for the winner." I smiled thinking that it would be easy to go out with him. "Are you ready for breakfast?" he asked me

"Yep, let's go, bye girls and Michael" I smiled at them

We got half way down the hall when I could hear Michael and Janay start kissing again. Without evening looking back I yelled "I saw that!" I heard them erupt into laughter behind me.

Once we had walked around the first corner I started to flirt, which he didn't seem to expect, "Hmm so what are we having for breakfast babe?" I asked

"Umm, I was thinking whatever the cook had in mind" he answered

"Nice… So Flipper do you think I'll make it on the team"? I asked curiously

"Flipper?" he asked

"Yeah. Well, you're a fast swimmer, so the nickname fits. Now answer the question flipper" I said in a friendly teasing voice

"I think that if we had you on our team, we couldn't lose a race. Maybe I'll even make you vice captain" he replied in between fits of laughter from the nickname

"Nice. I guess we'll see after breakfast - you're going to sit with me right?' I asked him

"Of course I will" he said smiling "Oh that's right it's your first day! I completely forgot… We all sit with our year group and since you're in a dorm room with two year 12's I'm guessing you're also a year 12 student? I'm in year 12 and I'm also the school captain" he said with a shy smile

"Hmmm, you seem to be the captain for everything" I said with a sly smile, hoping he would understand the double meaning

"Oh I'm good with everything that counts" he answered understanding the double meaning

We were standing outside the double doors that lead into the dinner hall. I could hear the clatter of sliver wear through the huge wooden doors. He was looking down at me and I was looking up at him. His eyes were the most amazing bluest blue. I couldn't take my eyes off him until he started to lean towards me, then all I could look at were his prefect lips. I wanted to kiss him badly, but I wasn't about to give in this early. I could feel his warm breath on my lips as I felt his hand run through my hair and come to a rest at the back of my head. He was gently pulling me towards him and just as his lips were mere centimeters away from mine, I placed my hands on his chest and whispered "Time for breakfast Flipper" and then jokingly pushed him away

I turned around and walked towards the dinner hall doors pushing the door open. By the time I got over to the year 12 table, he was still standing at the doors looking over at me. I gave out a loud whistle and he looked straight at me as I yelled across the dinner hall to him "Hey Flipper! The tables over here silly, not out the door!" I finished with a smile and a wink in his direction. He smiled back at me and walked towards me. When he got to the table he took a seat right away and just looked up at me. "Come and sit down spice" he said with a sly smile

I raised my eyebrow at him "Spice-girls fan? Seriously?"

He raised his hands and grinned at me sheepishly. "Hey - I was eleven and they were hot" He said seriously, making me laugh "But you have got to admit, the name fits." He said winking at me.

"Whatever you say Flipper" I said while I took the seat next to him

We were all chatting and getting to know one another. I was really starting to like Mason. He had an awesome and actually funny personality. Things were going great until a short girl with black shoulder length hair, twitched her way over to stand right behind Mason. When she got behind him she rested her chin on Masons' left shoulder and started rubbing her hands over his chest. Mason all most jumped 50 feet out of this chair, but after he realized who it was, a look of disgust came across his face that made me bust out in laughter. He grabbed the hands that were roaming his chest and threw them off him. "Piss off Rebecca! Don't touch me!" he said angrily.

"Babe, what's wrong? And why the Fug are you sitting next to this low life with split ends?" she said in a pout

"Umm Rebecca, we broke up yesterday… And I'm sitting here cause I want to be with Blade" he said while grabbing my hand

"Her? But she's not even pretty! Come on babe - come sit on the popular side of the table" Bec said in a bitchy tone

"Ha! Bec, she's way prettier then you! By like a lot. Its over between us why don't you just go now!" was Masons replay back

She looks daggers at me and taps me on the shoulder. I look up at her while she says "Keep away from my man! Unless you want that face of yours messed up even more"

I slowly stood up, trying hard not to laugh at the thought of her attempting to beat up a CIA spy. "Bec darling, please just leave. You're only making yourself look bad - plus you wouldn't want to even enter a fight with me, because I'll break more than just your nail" I warned her back

Her mouth dropped open and I sat back down. I knew what she was going to do without even looking. I've had 11 years of training to know how to block and how to tell when a block was needed; so I didn't even flinch when there was a sudden whoosh of air hurling at me, or even when Janay yelled out my name in warning. My hand went up as quick as lightening and grabbed her wrist. She stared at her hand in disbelief and the room went silent as I told her loud and clear "Rule number one - when you going to slap someone, don't hesitate otherwise your opponent will know what you're doing. And secondly, don't try and slap a girl twice your size" I threw her wrist away from me. "Now just go away" I took a sip of the water that Mason had poured for me.

Completely pissed and shocked, Bec turned around and left with her friends. I let out a sigh "Thank God she's gone… I've only just meet her and I know I'm going to hate her"

All my new friends where just staring at me opened mouth

"What?" I asked them

"No one has ever stood up to Bec like that! That was amazing! I think I'm going like having you around woman!" Janay said with a smile

I started to blush from the praise, when Mason got up and announced that if we didn't leave now we were going to be late to swimming practice, or in my case try-out, so I grabbed a slice of toast and bid Tiff and Janay goodbye before leaving with Mason. I was ready for a swim.

I was now in my new math class and of course all my new classes are with Mason. I had to act surprised when I turned up to every one of his classes that day. I was sitting in the back of the class room waiting for everyone to arrive; I had been the first there because I had to get my note signed for the headmaster after classes had ended for the day. I was doodling on the back of my notebook, when I heard a laugh come from the front of the room. I knew who it was so I didn't bother to even look up when I heard the footsteps walking towards me and then the sound of the chair next to me being pulled back across the floor.

"I should have known you'd be in this class as well… So come on, hand over your time table" Mason said while holding his hand out to me.

"But if I show you my timetable then you wouldn't have anything to look forward to for your next class" I said putting a purr into my voice

He looked over at me trying to catch my eyes, but I wouldn't let him. I just looked down at my desk and thought about the swimming try-out.

Mason and I were walking towards the schools swim team pool when Mason suddenly pulled me off into an empty room. Without even looking around the room I could tell it was a classroom the smell of chalk was strong. Mason turned around to shut the door and pull the curtain down that would cover the window in the door. I looked around getting my bearings. There were exactly 12 exits that I could use to get out of this room in under ten seconds. I sat on the closest table to where Mason was standing. He walked over to me and grabbed my hands and looked into my eyes "Thank-you for standing up to Bec like that. You really were amazing. I can't believe you stopped that hit! We all thought for sure she would get you, but then you so quickly stopped it! You were in such control." He said with clear admiration

I blushed and looked down at my feet "It's ok, really. She was annoying me and plus I didn't like the way she was making out that she owned you. I wouldn't want anyone owning you, but-"I cut myself out before I got too carried away with the moment.

He placed his hand under my chin and lifted my head up so he could look me in the eyes, "I would like it if you owned me, but I want to take you to dinner first" he said and gave my hand a kiss

"Sorry to bust your bubble Flipper but we kind of go to a boarding school - we can't go off campus" I said with real disappointment

"Spice, babe… You forgot who my father is. I'm sure I can get us a night out, but now we need to run to the pools cause were about to be real late" he said while pulling me out the door.

We ran the rest of the way to the pools hand in hand, until we got to the door then we let out. My hand was already aching from the loss of the warmth of his. He held the door open then walked in after me saying "Well my Dad's the coach, so let's go find him"

We both looked around until we found the Headmaster near the diving boards. His father saw us coming before we got there so he was already holding my new team swim suit. "Hello Blade. I see you've meet my son - I thought you two would be good friends" he coughed on the word friend, "Well Blade, here's your swim suit. Why don't you go and change, then we can test your swimming skills" The Headmaster said with a warm smile.

"Sure, I'll be right back" I said while smiling back

As I was walking away I heard the Headmaster say as he placed his hands on his son's shoulder "I heard about you and Rebecca. I can't say that I'm sorry because I'm not… She isn't a very nice girl, but Blade on the other hand seems to be very nice. Why don't you invite her over for dinner tonight so we can all get to know her a bit?"

"Dad, come on… At least let me take her on a date before she meets my family" Mason said with embarrassment

"Fine, I'll think about it" said his father, without really paying attention

I ran into the change room and quickly shed my clothing. I pulled on my new one piece. It was in the school colors of dark purple with a white line going from my shoulder to the opposite hip like a sash. I looked good in it, but I looked way better in my black bikinis, but it would have to do. I packed up my clothes and threw them into a locker that had the same number as my room and ran out to the pool. When I got the pool the Headmaster told me to get ready to dive then he would tell me what to do. I walked over to the board and got ready. Mason was on the board next to me waiting. When he saw me in my swim suit he almost fell head first into the pool.

"Come on Flipper… You've seen me in less than this" I said with a wink

He threw me a smile and said nothing because the coach had come up, and was now standing between us, "Ok, so I guess you know what you're doing. Five laps, freestyle on three… One… Two … THREE!" he shouted the end.

And just like this morning I was off like a bullet. I was swimming fast, flying thought the laps. It was hardly two minutes when I had hit the end wall with my hands for the fifth time. I pulled myself out of the water, and sat next to the diving board. I looked up at the coach who had his mouth so far open it looked like he was trying to catch flies. "Did I make the team?" I simply asked

"Yes you're on the team! Wow you weren't joking when you said you were fast… That was just… Wow… Would you like to come to dinner with my son and family tonight? We can talk about your future on the swimming team" he asked me

"Sure that would be great" I smiled back

"Great, I'll have my son pick you up at seven!" the coach said, just as Mason got out of the pool and glared at his Dad.

I had gone through Math so easily. I had finished everything way before we were meant to, so I helped Mason out by slipping him my answer sheet. He gave me a huge smile back. I guessed he must be finding this hard. In a way it kind of was, but then again I was a spy I thought to myself. Soon the 45 minute lesson was over; the bell went saying that it was the end of the school day. I turned towards Mason and whispered in his ear "I can't wait for dinner tonight. Remember you're picking me up at seven"

I walked out of the classroom room walking at a pace he couldn't match.
