Prologue
I watched from the other side of the pool as Anna’s head broke the surface. She blinked the water out of her eyes, and looked over at me. “How’d I do?” She called, and in response, I started clapping. She grinned and splashed in celebration.
I watched her spin around in circles, something not feeling right. The feeling was strange. It was a mix of suffocation and exhilaration.
Then I realised.
This was just like the time I had a crush on Mattie from Pre-Algebra.
I had a crush on Anna Jordan. My best friend.
