Chapter 28: Damian the Fast-Guy

                    ***Damian The Fast-Guy***

"Why will I snatch that which was never his, I've got no plans to snatch my dear, I'm only taking you for myself, after all, he never had you. You can't snatch what is never owned at the place."

So I said, and I bled out a little smile which sparkled as I wished that this line is strong enough to heal my previous blunder now this my rephrase actually lightened up the already gloomy face of Cynthia who now blushed as she said;

"You are a bad child."

We both walked to the poolside. The school had a very big swimming pool, a thing that my mom had failed to notice due to her haste the other day. The students were all allowed to swim only during the recreation period, And the school also holds an annual swimming competition in which the students swim for a price. Cynthia and I sat at a wooden bench that was built around the pool. Oh! I wished we never came anywhere close to this pool, and not just that I wished I never made this comment;

"Seeing the way you look at the pool, I could guess you love swimming."

This little comment changed my life totally, don't worry you will see how it actually changed me, and you will be the judge to decide if it is for the best or worse.

"Hmm... Me swim, I wish".

She said laughing.

"I love the waters, that's true, I also wish I could swim, but I don't, I truly like guys that can swim, that the only thing I like about that clown bright, he is a very good swimmer, he is even the second-best swimmer in this school."

She added.

"Oh! He can swim".

I said with a jealous mind. 

"Yeah, and you, can you swim, hmm? Please tell me, can you?"

She asked looking very curious, she made that cute puppy face as she looked at me with a desperate desire to hear a "yes" from me.

"Me? Ehmm... I.. I.."

I tried responding but I was too sluggish as it seems that I've lost my words.

"Please say yes, I'll love you, I swear, please just say you can swim."

What? She just said she will love me... Who am I to say no? Common it's just a "one lie", who will it hurt? I could always make excuses during recreation.

"Yes! Yes, I can swim."

I quickly said looked both left and right like a lost puppy, hmm... I actually felt blackmailed. I have never swum in my entire lifetime, in fact, I will die the day I swim, common, I've got allergies.

"Really? Will you teach me swimming, please be my swimming coach".

Cynthia persuaded looking very excited. Now I looked at her like one assassin, like; "who sent you to kill me?" She held me by the hand as she pleaded with me to be her swimming tutor. I felt lost in his own shell, I had just accepted to do that which I can't.
