Caro's Chronicles #5
Jan 15th - Friday Night and the AC's Kickin'
Oasis is blasting though my headphones as I arrive at the AC. I could kick the doors open, fling my arms out, and stride into this building. Welcome home - “hum-hum-hum-you can only be what you arrrre.”
In my winter coat I march into the pool gallery and look down into the water.
“Hey, Jin!” I yell down into the pool with characteristic unconcern for anyone else. “Where’s Lindsay?”
Jin’s swimming with Meaghan Reeve.
“Change room!” she yells back panting.
Swiping my card I head downstairs, I catch sight of Canadian’s shirt. “Jen?”
“Hey! How goes!”
The pleasantries.
My locker is open, Lindsay has repossessed her bathing suit and here she is with Christina.
“Hey! We just swam with Braithwaite! Can I borrow your shampoo? Jin and Meaghan are in there too doing some sort of funny running thing.”
“Yeah. I saw them. Jen’s here too. Oh Agnes!”
“Hey, are you just finishing?”
“No I’m going upstairs, just biking today I’m toast, do you want me to save you a bike? Lindsay I’ll text you when I’m done.”
I head upstairs; low and behold Braithwaite’s on the bike.
“Is that Chadwick on the ergs?”
“Yeah, he’s doing sprints.”
“Hum. The novice men seem keen.”
“Yeah, I had class 6-8 yesterday and they organized their own practice.”
“Good boys, I think Kailyn was there too.”
60 minutes later I get off the bike and head to the board to change the countdown. 23 days.
I check the split sheet. Alanna and Elise, 2x19’. Nasty… that’s a hard set. Glad I didn’t wake up after all.
I walk down to the weight room. I'm grinning. The same song comes on… Oasis: “Heart of a Star.”
