Team Meeting

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. …

…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.
