How good it felt to get out of a tiring, hard, swim practice. My heart was still pounding when I got out of the cold, brisk water with a smile on my face. Knowing that I had just completed my first varsity practice, I would have something to brag about to my friends and family. I glanced across the dark pool area as all the tall, muscular girls proceeded to get out of the water. …showed first 75 words of 1375 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1375 total…as her eyes began to water. As I would look with the corner of my eye, I began to remember her practicing in lane three with the varsity sophomores and juniors. I was bothered by my mistake, so I decided to avoid apologizing in order to escape my embarrassment. Though I felt bad about the error, I thought that it would be better for the both of us that this misunderstanding be kept to myself.
