All through their high school senior year, Billy secretly desired Sara. Sara was everything he wasn't. Billy was a loner. Sara was involved in many on campus clubs. Sara always made it a point to talk to Billy. Billy at first, thought the popular girl must have wanted or needed something, to be talking to him. Sara thought Billy was an old soul. Sometimes it felt like he could see into her, where others their ages didn't see past their noses.
At graduation, one of his friends had snapped a shot of Sara hugging him. He had kept this picture in his wallet hiding, pulling it out often, wondering where she had ended up. He had stayed in the area, to help his grandparents, and was attending the local community college.
Just two weeks after fall semester started, he spied her, walking into the women's locker room. He hung around a while to 'run' into her when she came out. Standing by the gates to the pool that was attached to the locker rooms he saw her again.
It was too early for a swim class she must be swimming by herself. Billy took a deep breath and went through the men's locker room through to the pool area. Going over to the stadium seating, he spread out his class work, to look like he was there to study.
Sara saw the lanky man wander over to the concrete benches, and pull out books. She guessed he was doing some studying and went back to her lap swimming. Something nagged at her about him. Whenever she looked over the water at him he seemed to be staring her way. He was familiar to her, of that she was sure. She promised herself, as soon as she was finished with her last 10 lengths she'd go see.
Billy watched covertly as she pulled her hour glass figure out of the water, grabbing her towel and vigorously dried off. Adjusting her modest bikini, over her ample breasts and bottom, she was walking straight to him. As she got closer, her throaty laugh made him smile as always. She cried his name and jumped into his startled hug, squeezing him tight and still holding him as she started talking, asking about his summer and such.
