I climbed from the pool and wanted to stomp away but I was stopped by my team. Our school had won every match. We had not only won the day it was a flawless victory. It was a time to celebrate. And the winners for each swim needed to be announced officially.
Not to mention, this was a first for our school. We had never had a complete victory like this against St. Reece's. This was a momentous day, and I knew that. The problem was that I didn't feel like celebrating at all.
I had not lost a single match, not technically, because the only person that beat me was my teammate that swam in the lane next to mine. If it wasn't always a set rule that the individual races were swam with two or more sets of swimmers then I would have won. Or if I could have been paired with anyone but Makai every time.
There had been almost two dozen races in total, so why then were all but one of my races paired with the one guy that made me feel uneasy?
