Charlie is a shy but tough girl. She's a 'lil chubby and a loner. She only has two friends. Her best friend Dara and Dara's younger brother Caleb. She wasn't bullied or anything but no one really takes the time to know her.  She has a huge crush on Damien, the brooding art student. But he seems oblivious. Charlie wants to be noticed by Damien, but it's harder than it sounds. Little does she know, somebody else has set his sights on her. The last person she would guess to be in love with her. Who is this person and will she give him a chance? Or would it be too weird?

PRETTY BOY

Yep, she's up there. I could feel it in my gut. Knowing that she would be watching one of the flat screens in the VIP lounge, I winked at the cameras. And I smiled. God, I hope she's up there. Or else I'd just look like conceited tool...urgh,we don't want that. 


With the knowledge that Charlie might be up there watching me, I felt a renewed energy and a fresh feeling of eagerness. I could win this. And the Olympics. As long as I know Charlie is watching. I got ready at my lane and shook off my jacket. I stretched a bit and focused on winning. I bent to put my jacket into my gym bag and to kiss my good luck charm, Charlie's band t-shirt. Hopefully I get to kiss Charlie soon instead of just her old t-shirt. When all swimmers were called to get ready, I walked purposefully to my mark and got ready.
