Chapter I


I always enjoyed being underwater. The amount of peace and calmness that it brings me is unquantifiable.

Living in the city holds no meaning to me, except to finish my studies. My place is next to the water.

Mrs. Jones recalls her fond memories of her lost kitten, showing us a bunch of pictures of “Princess Penelope” in different costumes. Being the mother of the principal means that she can 'teach' us whatever she wants, and unfortunately, all her classes are mandatory.

The sound of sniffles suddenly fills up the quiet room. “Eww… There she goes again”, my friend Clara whispers to me. Frankie, or as everybody calls her “Fake Frankie”, starts her theatrical performance on how beautiful “Princess Penelope” was and bla bla bla ... The entire class rolls their eyes and sighs at it, except Ryan of course, that boy wouldn’t disrespect a girl with such a big pair of tits, even though they are as fake as their owner.

Finally, 15 torturous minutes later Mrs. Jones sets us free. Ryan immediately comforts his 'girlfriend', wiping her crocodile tears while discretely peeking at his favorite melons.

- “What a perv … Let’s go Lia”.

Clara and I have been best friends since the beginning of college. She is a beauty, with her gorgeous dark skin, stunning caramel eyes, and fit frame that always captures the attention of others, however, not everyone can handle her feisty personality that I love so much. She is the most honest and nice person I have ever met.

As I’m taking the subway to my studio that I call home, I recall those green eyes. I had never seen such a breathtaking color. They resemble the green of pine trees. The dreams I have of them, always brought me nothing more than peace and a sense of utter happiness, the same feeling I get every time that I am in the water.

Ku_Rolet: I love the story and the love between the couple. It doesn’t drag unnecessarily, which I really enjoyed.
