a story of a gurl (part 1)

Stella, Carissa and Crystal are high school seniors in red mount high. Our main story will rotate around Carissa the simple, top notched student.
"[sigh], this school year sucks, I’m bored" Stella murmured tagging along Carissa and Crystal at the school canteen.
“c’mon Stella we're not even on the mid of the year" crystal said
"ah...crystal you know her. She’s the popular act. She can't stand not being the apple of the eye" Carissa sarcastically told crystal beaming on Stella,
"hey! That’s not true!" defended Stella... the other two giggled... as they were eating their food... “hey girls!" Cedric, Carissa's hunky, popular best friend intruded "hey!" they greeted back
"so.uhm... Carissa practice after school coach demands attendance so be there at 4"
"Yeah, sure"
"Any message for us?" Crystal asked. "Uh... finish your lunch??"
Stella chuckled. “Ha-ha! funny." Crystal ungratefully said, Cedric then tapped her back...
"Did you eat already?" Carissa asked "yeah!" They finished up their meals...

Later, At the swimming practice that afternoon...
"Swimming regional competition is on September 2, I assume we all know who our bet would be... of course, our captain Cedric, Nathan, Daniel and the only rose among you thorns... Carissa" coach announced "but it does not end there! It doesn't mean that you'll have time slacking yourselves off! NO! You will all be attending practice and even the competition you got that?!"
"YES COACH" the team answered
"Hit the showers!!" he ordered
Everyone got up, took their things and went to the shower rooms, Carissa washed herself up in the girls' shower room after such and changed her clothes (of course!) as she was doing so, there was a slight sound of sliding door and the door slid open. Carissa screamed. “Oh. Sorry” a guy holding a pail and bucket appeared from the door, “get out!” Carissa hysterically commanded, the guy instantly followed, he got out and slid the door shut behind him. Then loud footsteps were heard around the pool area, suddenly the swim team was surrounding the girls’ shower room Cedric on the lead “Carissa!” he called, he saw the guy standing by the door, he took a grip of the guys’ shirt
“what did you do Claude?!” he said angrily pushing the guy against the shower room door
“I did nothing Cedric.” Claude justified, the other guys from the swim team tried to calm Cedric down and pulled him away from Claude “enough Cedric” one of them said, Carissa got out of the shower room...
“Carissa!” the swim team boys said in almost unison “are you all right?” Cedric said locking his arms around her shoulder so securely “I’m fine.” Carissa told him “have you ever been taught of knocking?!” she added eying Claude “yes, but.. I didn’t know a girl existed on the swimming team” he reasoned out
“well now you know”
“yes, I’m so--”
“save it.” she cut him off
“what are you even doing here?” Cedric intruded
“I was put under student help program”
“in trouble much?!” Carissa teased then stepped out of the scene
The others followed her leaving Claude on his own.


that's it for the first part...
