The moment we dove into the water, I kicked off hard, determined to win.

The cool water rushed over me as I pushed forward with strong, quick strokes. I could feel Daniel close behind me, his presence pushing me to try even harder. My arms cut through the water, and I kicked with all the energy I had, refusing to let him catch up.

But Daniel was fast, too fast. His powerful strokes closed the gap between us. My arms cut through the water, and I kicked with all the energy I had, refusing to let him catch up.

The edge of the pool came into view, and I gave one final, strong push, gliding forward with all my strength. My fingertips brushed the wall. I had won.

Gasping for air, I turned to find Daniel grinning, just a second behind me. His wet hair clung to his forehead, and his eyes sparkled with amusement, completely unfazed by his loss–if anything, he looked entertained, as if he’d let me win.

“I told you I was a pretty good swimmer,” I gasped, still catching my breath, as I wiped the water from my face. Pride filled me, and a triumphant smile tugged at my lips. The victory felt amazing.

He shrugged, the playful gleam in his eyes making me roll mine. “I did give you a head start.”

I shook my head, my smirk widening. “Like hell you did. I won fair and square.”

He chuckled softly, downplaying my victory as he brushed his hand across the water. “That’s debatable.”
