Chapter 2

Splish, splash.. 'was there ever anyone here before me? Hmm, it is spring vacation, but it's only 7 am?' We're his thoughts as headed to the pool.

Looking around he didn't see anyone, then a splash and out came a girl, a Highschooler it seemed as he recognized the swimsuit from the school he graduated only a couple years ago.

Heading over to her to talk, brown eyes met curious green ones. Picking up his pace as she turned away without saying a word. "Hi, I'm… ugh, splash!" Within seconds they were both in the pool with Maria pulling him to the side of the pull, "Are you ok?" "Ah, yeah, I guess I didn't realize it was wet." "Can you get out?" "Ah yes, oh I'm James by the way." A bit hesitant, but with no harm sensed, "Maria." Then she quickly jumped out with him following closely behind. "Are you still in Highschool? What brings you here so early in the morning, especially during spring vacation? Practicing for the swim team?"

Without missing a beat, " Yes. It's not busy this early. My friends are all busy. No." Caught off guard by how things went down, he was lost in thought as she walked away.

"Hey Adrian, you know a lot of people in different grades, right?" "Yeah." Yawns, "why? Wait, James, it's 8 o clock in the morning!! During spring break!!! Dude I have no idea what your work schedule is like, but come on man, it's 8 o clock in the morning!!" Ugh. "Come on Adrian, like the saying goes, 'you got to hit while the iron is hot.'" "What?… the iron… what happened?" "Do you know a girl with big brown eyes?" "… big brown eyes you say…" "yes, yes!!" "Gee, I don't know, maybe 80% of the girls in school!!??!! Why are you asking about someone at school anyway?" "Well, I just met someone, ah wait her name is Maria!!! Yes, Maria… with big brown eyes and likes to swim." "So it was love at first sight or something?" "That's, well maybe a bit far to say love at first sight, but I do want to get to know her." "Hmm, brown eyes and likes to swim? She was alone? No friends? Wait was she at the pool this early!!! Why the heck would anyone get up soo early to go swimming? Honestly dude, ugh." "Yes, it even surprised me, not only was she there this early, but she was alone during spring back st that! Oh and she's not on the swim team. Any ideas?" "You remember the crazy girl that walks everywhere?" "Crazy girl that walks everywhere? I don't remember and this girl… hmm well, she didn't seem crazy, strange but not crazy." "Well, how about the Lone Ranger?" "Ah yeah, I heard people talk about her a lot, wait is she the Lone Ranger? That would make sense since she was by herself after all…. Freshman… soo she's a Junior now?" "Yep, we will be Seniors after this summer… so you see I need to enjoy these vacations from school as much as possible and seeing how you figured out who the mystery girl is, I'm going back to sleep, good night."
