It was late on a Friday and I was going to go home. I decided to take a few laps in the school pool before I left, just to relax. I thought I was the only one in the pool, untill i heard a mans voice. I was shocked at first, until I realized it was just the football coach, Coach Spence.

I knew Coach Spence, his wife was the cheerleading squad leader, and Spence himself was my boyfriend, David’s, Coach as well. I knew him so well he let me call him Spence, and none of his football players were allowed to, I guess I was special. I still remember the conversation we had that day.

“Hey Casey, do you mind if I join you for a swim? It’s kind of hot out and I was hoping to cool off before I went home.”
“No Spence, I don’t mind at all. The pools big enough for two I’m sure.”

So that was that, he joined me in the pool to “cool off”. I got out of the pool and dove in. Once I reached the surface, my life changed. Spence was right over top of me and almost forced me back under, I had few choices of where to go, considering I was coming up by the side of the pool. He played it off as though it were an accident, so I decided not to say anything, but the atmosphire changed quickly. I felt his hands push me back against the side of the pool.
