*a week later *

I woke up after wanting to kill my alarm because I was in the middle of one of the most awesome dreams of my life. I smiled still thinking about Alison and the kiss but then I realized it was the first swim meet of the season. That had to be on my mind today I had to try and push Ali to the back of it winning the meet had to come first.

I walked into school and saw Sharks banners everywhere which gave me an extra boost of confidence which I needed because I was still leary on my form for the 100 freestyle plus hoping I would break my own record time. I walked in the locker room to get changed into my suit and my track suit. I walked out of the locker room and saw the girls walking up " Hey guys " I smiled " Hey Em you ready for your meet today " Aria asked me being supportive " Yeah I know we got this win it's Riverdale so how bad can they be " I said confidently " You got this Emily you are the best swimmer they got " Hannah smiles " Yeah go get kick some ass " Spencer said putting her hand on my shoulder " I won't let you guys down " . We said our goodbyes thankfully my eye was better enough now that I could swim I went to my class which was Chemistry and that was the class I ironically had with Alison even more kick in the ass she was my lab partner.

Ugh I haven't been here five minutes and I am already bored Mrs. Diaz was making us take before class notes and write down the experiment we had to do for the period I could fall asleep. Then I hear rushed footsteps come in the door and Mrs. Diaz speak " you cut it close again this time Ms. Fields " I looked up and saw Emily talking to her apologizing for almost being late. I felt my heart pounding Emily always looked hot in her uniform track suit I still had her on my mind after her saving me the other day and that kiss we shared god how I wished I could kiss her luscious soft lips again. I shiver just at the memory I mean I was thanking her for saving me like she did. But I saw for the first time when I looked into Emily's eyes that under all my trying to be a hard ass exterior she just saw me that is mostly why I kissed her because I finally realized that I was in love with her but I just don't know how to tell her and I am pretty sure she doesn't know how to tell me. I look back quick at my notebook when I see Emily coming so I don't look like I was staring at her like a creep. " Hey Ali " she said sweetly " Hi Emily you ready to get to work? " I looked over at her as she nodded as she set up the burner and the stuff that we needed " Do you have the beaker? " Emily said looking at me " Yeah " I went to hand it to her and my hand grazed her and it was like a rush of electricity ran through me. "Th-thanks" she stuttered all I could do was nod cause I would have pinned her against the table and kissed her right then and there but I was trying to keep in check.

I felt the spark run though me when I touched Ali's hand and I just wanted to kiss her so badly. I had to breathe deeply and count to myself to resist the urge, class started as we did the experiment the announcement for all on the swim team to report to the locker room came over the loud speaker. " You gonna be ok to do this on your own Ali? " I looked at Alison concerned and guilty I had to rush out on her like this. She nodded " Yeah I'll be ok don't worry " I grabbed my bag and walked out of the classroom. The halls for right now were empty as a tomb for now till the final bell is gonna ring and everybody rushes to the pool and load the stands. I got to the locker room door when I heard a familiar voice say my name I quickly turned around to see Alison " What are you doing here Ali? " I asked concerned she got to me and looked at me " I didn't want you to go in and not do this " Alison grabbed the back of my neck pulling me into a soft chased kiss but I felt my hands go to her hips pulling her closer her arms wrapped themselves around my neck I slid my tongue against her bottom lip which she granted access by opening her mouth allowing our tongues to meet and fight for dominance . We had to break apart to catch our breath we rest our foreheads against each other. " go and win " Ali whispered against my lips " don't let me down ok?" I nodded "I won't " Ali quickly kissed me again before running off down the hall. I just stood there as the final bell rang and students began filling the hallways. I finally snapped out of my daze when Ariana one of the other girls on the team told me to hurry. I went in the locker room removing my track suit and putting in my locker. I had looked in the mirror I kept in it " win this thing for her " I said to myself shutting my locker.

I can't believe I kissed Emily like that and she kissed me back. I couldn't help it I just felt like this need like this wanting to have her lips on mine again. I was snapped out of thought when Spencer asked me if I wanted something from the snack bar to which I decline but thanked her. The announcer came over the PA system that they had in the pool area " Ladies and Gentlemen let's hear it for the visitors the Riverdale Minnows "cheering came from the opposite side of bleachers whereas booing came from the side I was sitting on. " Now Ladies and Gentlemen give it up for your home team the Rosewood Sharks " A huge roar of cheers came from where I was sitting me, Aria, Hannah and Spencer all stood up when we saw Emily come out and all at once said "GO EMILY! " She looked in our direction and we made eye contact with each other my eyes met her soulful brown ones and I nodded letting her know I believed in her.

The meet went on for about two hours maybe more I don't know I was swimming the whole time but I beat my time for my event which I was extremely happy about. I kept thinking about Alison the whole victory party. I had to see her cause that kiss made it clear she was in love with me like I was with her. I wanted her to know the truth I wanted. I wanted her to be mine.
