Oct 10: Pool, pool, pool

'Willow' walked out of the changing room with Sara as she finished pulling on the top of her bikini. "It's nice to have a heated pool here, even during the winter."

by **Sara McDohl** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:18 pm

Sara followed behind her, covering herself with her towel. She was wearing a bikini, like her friend, but it wasn't very revealing at all. "Th-That is good to know.."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:18 pm

"Willow" was much less modest--her bikini was relatively low cut.

"Also good for people watching, if you're into that sort of thing," she said, diving in.

by **Sara McDohl** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:21 pm

The girl placed her towel off to the side with her glasses, she was not about to dive into this pool.. She moved toward her friend albiet a bit slowly.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:21 pm

"Come on in! It's perfect," Willow said, floating on her back.

by **Sara McDohl** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:27 pm

Finally the girl was submerged in the water. She had a bit of trouble swimming over to her friend, but managed.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:28 pm

"Are you alright? You DO know how to swim, yes?" Willow asked, deftly swimming over and holding Sara a bit so she'd stay afloat.

by **Sara McDohl** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:29 pm

"Um...f-for the most part...?" She says as she dips under for a brief second before returning..

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:30 pm

"Here, I'll help you get better!" Willow said, swimming around to help support Sara in the water, one hand under her back and the other under the legs. "I love swimming--it's a great exercise."

by **Sara McDohl** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:39 pm

Sara's face turns completely red. She was being taught how to swim like she was a kid again.. "Th-thanks" She was so embarressed at the moment she could die..

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:55 pm

Juma makes his way out of the change room and up to the lap area of the pool. He's wearing a Speedo and manages to carry it well; his long-limbed form is well-defined from a lifetime of activity. His skin dulls to an almost grayish hue as he lines up and then dives into the water, cleanly breaking the surface.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:17 pm

"Speaking of people watching," Willow whispered to Sara.

"Juma! Good to see you," she beamed.

by **Sara McDohl** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:24 pm

Sara's eyes turned wide as she saw the man enter the pool. Her mind was already getting a bit fuzzy.. "Wh-what am I gonna do..if he comes over here nothing will come out clearly..this is going to be a disaster..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:28 pm

Willow whispered to Sara again.

"Do we need to leave? We could duck out of sight, if you want."

by **Sara McDohl** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:30 pm

"I-I-I can not talk to boys...I stammer and can not think straight..." She whispered back..

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:31 pm

"Alright, let's duck into the sauna..." Willow said taking Sara's hand...

by **Sara McDohl** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:32 pm

Sara nodded to Willow and followed her lead toward the sauna..

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:35 pm

In the sauna, Willow turned around. "Phew. Safe in here, I think.

So, afraid of guys?" she asked, removing her top and spreading out her towel on one of the benches.

by **Sara McDohl** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:37 pm

"I know it sounds silly...but I just can not talk to them.. I stumble over everything.. its like complete gibberish..very embarassing..."

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:40 pm

For his part, Juma returned the wave. He would have come over to visit but the sudden disappearance makes that much harder, so instead he continues his laps. Most of the time, he remains completely underwater.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:41 pm

"Hrmmm....

OK, awkward question time. Do you like guys?"

by **Sara McDohl** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:45 pm

"Yes. Some of them are very good looking...I just wish I could talk to them...." She sighs deeply, sitting next to her friend.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:48 pm

Willow put an arm around Sara.

"It's hard, I know. Knees go to jelly and all that. Surely there's gotta be some guy you've been able to talk to..."

by **Sara McDohl** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:49 pm

"My dad is the only boy I have ever been able to talk to..." She whispered, pulling her knees up into a hug.. "Well...Technically you'd be the second, Will...but you are not Will currently.."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:51 pm

"It's OK. It just takes practice. You need to find a non-threatening boy, or someone who you can ignore for a bit and practice."

by **Sara McDohl** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:54 pm

Sara blunk for a second then stood up quickly. "I forgot my glasses!" She runs back out toward the pool to get them.

by **Juma Ngomo** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 11:46 pm

As Sara nears the poolside, she spots Juma's shark-skinned form at the edge of the pool, her glasses in hand. He's peering at them and trying to remember if he recognizes them.

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 12:04 am

Frantically the girl scampers over to where she placed her towel, not noticing the man with her glasses. "Ooo...Where did I put them..?" She calls out to herself.

by **Juma Ngomo** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 12:07 am

"Pardon me, ma'am? Are you looking for your glasses?"

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 12:12 am

The girl stopped what she was doing entirely, turned around slowly, looked at the man and meeped.

by **Juma Ngomo** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 12:15 am

He smiles softly, allowing his body to revert to pure human in case the shark features are a little intimidating. His hand, holding the glasses by one arm, lifts up to give the girl a better view.

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 12:21 am

She just stands there completely frozen. She tries to say something, but all that comes out is garbled words...."Argh! Stupid Stupid Stupid...Talk to him!!" she thought to herself.

by **Juma Ngomo** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 12:34 am

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid my linguistic skills are limited to English, Swahili, and a smattering of Spanish and Portuguese. Are these yours?"

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 12:38 am

She was still wide eyed, while looking at him, however she managed to get off a nod or two. "Come on you dolt! He's just a boy! Say something coherent!"

by **Juma Ngomo** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 12:41 am

He smiles gently and moves up towards Sara, holding her glasses out in hand. "I am Juma. Are you a friend of Will's?"

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:04 am

She nods once again..her arms shaking as they rise to accept her glasses back.

by **Juma Ngomo** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:10 am

"Do you have a name?" Once he's pretty sure the girl has a grip on the glasses he lets go, though he's ready to catch them if they slip.

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:12 am

The girl places the glasses over her eyes, and begins to stammer out some form of word.. "Sa..." Her voice completely dies off before she can finish her own name.

by **Juma Ngomo** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:24 am

A small chuckle escapes his lips, "It is good to meet you. Did you lose anything else?"

by **Sara McDohl** » Fri Jul 03, 2009 1:28 am

The girl holds up the towel from before then lowers it back down. Some small audible sound escapes her lips as she looks down at the towel and her other hand..
