Medium longish hair dark brown and wavy hair. She has a lot of freckles and is really pretty). We go shopping to get swim caps-goggles-and swim suits. When we are done we went home.( it took a long time)
The first day It was the day of swim team and we were pumped. I get my swimsuit and get my goggles and cap. Next thing I know it a knock on the door… KAITLYN! I yell, I grab my stuff-and say goodbye to my mom in the Kitchen. I go outside, I hop in the car. We finally get there, me and Kaitlyn hop out thank her mom for driving us. …show more content…
After swim team I went in the locker room with Kaitlyn.(By the showers it was soaking) We see an old 7th grade-girl she does swim team too. She has short brown hair she is kinda fat but that doesn’t matter. She started speaking really mean to kaitlyn, I tried to stick up for Kaitlyn. But the girl is stronger tougher and bigger than me. She picks me up saying bad words and doing bad things she stuffs me in a locker and is slamming on the locker and hurting my feelings.( I would tell you what she said but there really bad words) I cry, I yelled to kaitlyn run, get someone.! I stayed, the banging on the locker hurt my ears. I cry harder. I finally decided to push the locker door …show more content…
All the bad things yesterday are gone in a place called a nightmare. But I am not looking back I have swim team today though to. I am a little nervous. Why wouldn't I be I mean come on. You would.

OH NO! I call Kaitlyn on the phone she doesn't answer.I call again at 12:00 am her mom said she would get her because she was still sleeping. When Kaitlyn got on the phone OH NO, I say to kaitlyn. What about that girl. Kaitlyn seems totally cool about what might happen after swim team. She helps me cool off. Then we change and go out by the swim team. We hop in the water it was cold. The mean girl is in a lane next to us. I don't look. I am to scared to look at her, I feel cold I feel like I have a fever I feel like I could drop dead right now.
I try to focus on swimming. I love to swim and nothing will stop me. I say to myself knowing what is gonna happen in an hour. I have bruises on my legs and scratches on my arms. From yesterday I can’t breathe then I figured out I was under water. I got up fast apparently Kaitlyn new I was under water she looked scared I told her was just looking for my earring (I lie to her.)
