Kiera

It was eight o'clock on a friday as Jiera entered the pool building. All of her friends had gone out, some to the club, others to the movies or on dates. Kiera had been rehersing for the dance competition for two hours and she wanted to relax and lounge in the cool water. In the locker room, she changed into a modest swimsuit and rinsed off in the shower, the school didn't like sweaty people in the pool.

As she entered the large pool area she was glad to see that it was empty. Well, empty except for the theatre boy who was swimming laps lazily in a ripped up pair of his uniform pants.

"You're not supposed to wear your uniform in the pool." Kiera called to him as she set her things on a chair before lowering herself into the pool's shallow end.

"Well its a good thing i'm wearing my improvised swimsuit then now isn't it?" Nathaniel joked, not breaking his lazy stride. He looked to see where she was at and moved tacted towards her. They met near mid pool."Besides, you're the only person i've seen in here on a friday evening. Most people have social lives, i don't." He continued swimming, occasionally just stopping to sink into the pool. He enjoyed the feeling he had while sinking, the natural pressure of the water helped take some of the stress out of his muscles and he was able to bend in ways he couldn't on land.

He surfaced for a moment before diving under, doing an underwater summersault. His back popped loudly under the surface of the water and he felt a spike of pain as he drove for the surface. His face grimmaced in pain as he treaded water to the edge of the pool.

Kiera

Kiera couldn't help but laugh about his own social life. He was right though, most kids thier age had a social life whereas the two of them seemed to always be dedicating their time to an extraciricular activity of some sort.

"Yeah i know, this is the first time i haven't been working on my dance rutine since i made any of the dance teams."Kiera said as the boy surfaced and moved to the wall, holding his back. She could see something was wrong and moved in for a closer look. "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay," Nathaniel said through gritted teeth. That had hurt a lot more than it should've. "I jsut need to hang here for a bit and let my back relax. Thanks for your concern though." Nathaniel went to lift himself out of the pool for a second. His back popped again and the pain died off. "Ah...Much better." his body sagged in the water. He turned to look at the girl who had joined him in the pool.

He stared at her for a moment as she scanned his face for signs of pain and it suddenly clicked in his head. "Oh! You're the girl who comes into the theatre to dance every Sunday!" Up until now he had never actually looked at her, rather, he just kind of studied her until he fell asleep. SHe was rather attractive, espcially for someone as young as she was. "I'm Nathaniel. I don't hink we've actually talked before."

Kiera

Kiera giggled at Nathaniel's sudden epiphany. She was glad he took notice enough of her to recognize her outside of the Performing Arts building, even if the recognition was a bit delayed.

"Yes, i'm her, my name is Kiera." Kiera put out a hand to shake and Nathaniel returned it. He looked like he was no longer in pain so Kiera swam back out in the center, waiting to see if Nathaniel would follow suit. He seemed like a nice guy, and Kiera wondered if he had a girlfriend.

He probably does, and i bet she's pretty. Who wouldn't want to date a guy who is strong and nice to be around?

Why is someone this cute talking to me in the pool? Nathaniel wondered as he tried to casually swim in Kiera's general direcetion. And more importantly where is her boyfriend?

"So you're on the dance squads, right?" Nathaniel asked. "I bet your boyfriend likes that.You always having dance rehersal and what not. Or is he on the squads as well?" Nathaniel turned lazily in the pool around her, staying on his back and using a modified butterfly stroke. He kept it so that her back was always turned to him so that when she answered she couldn't catch the roll of the eyes Nathaniel would give himself for being right.

Kiera

Kiera smiled, despite the fact that Nathaniel wouldn't stop circling her faster than she was turning.

"Um, no actually, i don't have one." Kiera replied, hoping things might go farther with Nathaniel, but she had to be sure. "What about you? is ytour girlfriend in theatre? Is she the lead actress for the show? Or is she one of the girls who you work on building the set with?" She heard Nathaniel stop behind her suddenly, as if he was blind sided by the question.

"Well?" she asked turning to face him.

Nathaniel fought the color rushing into his cheeks. what the hell led her to the conclusion i have a chance at surviving an intimate relationship with a theatre chick? He realiszed that he hadn't been spinning fast enough and Kiera was looking him in the face, looking for an answer.

"The only girlfriend i have is in my dreams." Nathaniel said, forcing a polite smile. "Between the martial arts team, working in the theatre until i pass out, and the occasional risk/chess tournament for tutition i babely have time to do homework." He dove under the water, trying to keep his cheeks cool. "Besides, most girls seem to find me better suited as the big brother more so than the lover."

You stupid friggin idoit! You just put that idea in her head, she'll be calling you big brother here soon! he dove under one more time as he ran the thought through his head. With idiotic commets like that its no wonder why you're single!
