Chapter 10

Macy's POV:

There was a buzzing in my head and my throat felt thick.

I had to go up to get some air. Breaking through the surface I gasped for air. It felt wonderful using all my energy driving myself forward in the water. My head was empty of all those confusing thoughts.

After I'd swum another lab I pulled myself up from the pool and wrapped a towel around me.

I could see the outsides through the big windows at the end of the pool. It was pouring rain which fitted perfectly with my mood.

I hurried to the locker room. I wanted to change in a hurry, so I could go home and hide under my bed.

Fully dressed I stood in the door looking at the pouring rain trying to get myself to walk to my bike. Why, oh, why did I ride my bike today?

Wait, what was that standing in the middle of the rain? I squeezed my eyes together to try and make out the blurry person standing frozen in the middle of the rainy schoolyard.

Out of curiosity I took a step forward, then another. And finally I saw who it was.

"Macy!" He shouted. We both started running forward. When we reached each other we both wrapped our arms around the other. I laid my head on his soaking wet shoulder.

"I think I really like you!" He whispered in my ear. I smiled at that, stretched on my toes and kissed him.

"Now I really, really like you!" He said. I giggled and kissed him again.

We stood there clinging to each other, not even feeling the cold rain pouring down around us.

When we finally let go the rain had stopped. I looked around and saw that we were standing in the middle of a huge puddle. There were at least 6 foot of water to each side.

I couldn't stop myself from laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Joe looked at me a bit hurt.

"It's just... My shoes are getting wet" He smiled and then he swooped me up into his arms and carried me out of the puddle.

THE END

I would like to dedicate this story to my best friend: Ida.

Not only is she the source of my inspiration she is also the best friend imaginable.

She supports my writing like nobody else, and without her, this story would never have been written. Thanks IdenJ
