Day 11
[Enter: Will from Sheffield's Entrance Gate]
*Will made it right on time as the coach gave her a nod as she entered into the changing rooms to change into her swimsuit*
Ahhh, I love the smell of chlorine water...
Will smiled happily and went back near the pool and looked at the board to see how many laps and which strokes she should do for a warmup. She put her goggles on and dove into the pool, feeling for the first time in a long while completely alive and carefree.

After a while of swimming as the other kids started doing their laps, Coach Deplersun entered and looked around.
"Okay, now that the warm ups are done you need to get into your groups and practice diving and going for a 50. Focus on form and keep up the breathing. Then Will can start the lineup drills for the strokes." He nodded at Will who nodded back and got together with her team of four as they lined up behind one of the diving boards.
"Hey Vandom! Did you hear about the monster?" one of the boys asked.
Will frowned as the curly blonde girl asked with her eyes opened wide. "Ooooh what are you talking about, Dave?"
"Well everybody was talking about it after school."
"We had to rush here right after school," Will answered. "We weren't late like you. What monster?"
"Well a bunch of people are going to the museum to check it out now," Dave answered excitedly. "Apparently some lizard thing went slithering around there and freaked everybody out."
"Yeah man, it probably just escaped from the zoo or something," the other boy responded with a roll of his eyes.
The whistle blew and the blonde girl dove and began her lap.
Will's face whitened. Could it possibly be a creature from Meridian?
"Too bad we're here," Dave said with a depressed sigh. "I'd like a shot at that monster."
"But it could be an alligator or a giant snake! You up to wrestling with an anaconda?"
"Dude! If it was either of those why would people be screaming about a monster?"
But Will couldn't hear anymore because it was her turn to dive.
Is there really a monster? Oh no, I wonder if the girls have heard about this.
She made a perfect flip turn and pushed off from the wall and came up for her fast strokes, breathing on every third arm until she reached the wall and Dave immediately dove in. Will lifted her goggles from her eyes and climbed up to the pool's edge. The coach was on the phone again.
"What do you mean there are no substitutes!? Does everybody have to take a vacation when I am taking one?... No, yes I understand that it was last minute....Well I'll just call through the Aquatics department and get anyone who could possibly help...No, Knickerbocker won't let me just stop the classes and practices for a week....Yes, alright. Please let me know if someone shows up."
He sighed and turned off his phone.
"It looks like we'll have to cut this practice short. I need to personally help find a sub for next week. Don't forget that you'll be continuing on Monday."
The swimmers all got up and walked to the locker rooms. Will quickly dryed herself off and got dressed and grabbed her cell phone to dial Cornelia's number.

"Hey, yeah the coach needed time to find a sub for next week." Will lowered her voice as she passed through the locker room and headed outside.
"Listen, I just heard about some sort of monster inside the museum. Where are you guys?"

*"Okay I'll get over there as fast as I can"*
Will ended the phone conversation and finally walked out to the streets in the direction of Hay Lin's family restaurant
