My heart was thundering in my head, as I pressed forward and kicked hard. The thought of becoming best was almost a reality now. The water made short red-ish brown-ish hair flutter, and my brown eyes flashed a bolt of lightning as I glided past the girl in front of me. “Go! Go! Go” The group yelled. Flipping quickly in front of the wall and kicking off letting my arms fly down and hand over hand I preceeded to go! The suspence added as my opponent fled closer. WAM ! My hand slammed against the wall, I was done. “Great Job!” The croud beckoned, oh the victory tasted so sweet. “Hey Jewl… step out for a moment please.” The coach asked tapping me on the shoulder. “Uh, okay, I suppose.” I quickly hoisted myself out of the pool, somewhat worried what the coach had to say. “Jewl, that race was outstanding! I think its time to bump you up to the cherry group. What do you think?” The coach asked. Oh that was a relief to hear the coach offer that to me, I was beginning to worry I’d never be bumped up. “Yes sir!”
