Lucian's POV-
After two days, back to school. This time, the corridor is empty because Section A is afraid. Maybe.
Ha! Nice. Quiet and...
"Good morning."
I heard a girl speaking softly but boldly. I turned around only to see a girl with long hair almost till her waist, tied loosely with clutcher, holding her bag and phone in one hand, was standing there.š¤©
"Good morning", I replied.
"I'm new here. Actually, where is Section B?" she asked. Wait, what? Section B? No way! She's in Section B? Why?
"Follow me", I said.
But soon I realized-what did I say? No!!
We joined the class late. As soon as we entered, we greeted Sir Dalton.
"Come in, Vail and Sinclair", said Sir.
Sinclair? Ha! Why does this sound like Sin-clear? Like she's trying to clear her sins. Whatever.
I sat on my usual seat.
"Hi everyone, I'm Aria Sinclair. I joined the school recently. Hope I do not disturb you."Ā Sin-clear said.
But she sounded more frustrated.
When the girls gathered and welcomed her like she was a lost child ,it felt so ridiculous. Yeah, I agree she looks cuteš. No, wait. Shut up, Lucian. After the break time, we took the classes.
And today was the day we were going to the pool.
Yeah, let's go.
We quickly changed and jumped in. We were given some instructions to be followed sincerely.
After, like 40-45 minutes, we decided to play a pool game, girls vs boys. (In this, the ball needs to be passed to each other and score a point by throwing it in the ring. Basically, pool basketball.)
The game begins.
"Pass. Jump. Yes. Shit. "We missed our third one. Seriously, the score is already 3-2. We are losing.
"Leo, hereeeeeeeeee!!!!!!" I shouted.
He threw the ball towards me. I missed.
"Aria. Goal. Goal. Goal" I heard the shouting. Realizing that Clear-sin caught the ball. No way. You are not winning, girl.š¶
It was tense. She swam towards the pool. She is stronger than she looks. She jumped trying to push the ball by bending her leg on the surface of the pool and applying Muscular force towards me. The ring was behind me. The pool was divided slightly into two parts. Deep and not-too-deep. We were playing in less deep part. Behind me was the deepest part. As soon as she jumped, I tried to defend the ring and not letting the ball inside. I took my hands up and held her in the mid-air. From the waist!š„ She tried to throw the ball high but I tried to push her back with whole force.
I slipped and we fell into the deepest part of the pool.
At that moment, it felt even deeper than ocean.š
It was hard to breathe.
In panic, we held each otherĀ ā¤ and swam towards the ladders as fast as we could.
And we made it.
It felt like we were about to die.
Finally. Ahhh! Wait! I realized she was holding my hand.
She was about to faint, but I caught herā¤. We rushed to clinic, and for God's sake, we saved her.
After a while, she woke up. I brought some water.
They were all changing up, so I decided to stay.
"What happened to you? Why did you faint?" I was about to ask another question, but I heard someone cry. Why?
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." I said, Come on, Sinclair. No, stop crying.
"Actually, I am not familiar with this type of experiences. Like drowning, like anything new to me, and dangerous to me. I fainted on the spot, but this time, at least I made it till the surface." She cried louder.
I couldn't help but see my aunt. She suffered the same, but different.
I hugged her to comfort her.š„
"Shh! It's okay. It's fine." I feel it. I saw my aunt crying, suffering, and we were helpless. Yeah, it hurts.
"Bang!" The section entered.
I immediately pulled back, adjusted my coat, and went outside.
Not before saying,
"at least knock the door next time before barging inš„."
