My name is Abigail Matsuda.
I am a sophomore at a high school in California.
I am a swimmer and water polo player.
I made the varsity list for both sports my freshman year and was determined to do it again this year.
I wasn’t just an athlete; I was also passionate about music.
I played the flute and was part of my school’s advanced band.
My boyfriend, Henry Ong, was my biggest supporter.
He cheered me on at all of my games and competitions and even attended my music festivals and concerts.
Henry was a junior, one year ahead of me, and he also had a lot on his plate.
He ran varsity cross country in the fall and swam on the varsity team in the winter.
We were each other’s biggest fans.
We attended all of each other’s events and never failed to warm up or cool down together.
We were a big part of each other’s lives, and I loved him dearly.
There was another boy in my life that I didn’t realize existed until the new school year started.
His name was Darran Shin, and he was a freshman.
He tried out for the swim team and made it to be on the varsity roster, just like me.
I had finished my 200-meter butterfly set, and I was resting when I saw Darran staring at me from the adjacent lane.
He looked away quickly, pretending to adjust his goggles.
It was the second time this practice that he had stared at me.
Coach Martinez blew her whistle, signaling a five-minute break.
Most of the swimmers headed toward the water fountains on the side of the pool deck, but I saw my chance.
Darran was treading water by himself in his lane, and I swam over to the lane divider between us.
His eyes widened when he saw me, and he waved back when I waved at him.
"Hi," I said, smiling.
He stuttered out a greeting in return, and I noticed that his face was redder than normal for after a workout.
"You did really well with your butterfly technique earlier. Your body glided through the water really smoothly."
He lit up instantly and started talking about swimming.
As he spoke, I realized that this unexpected connection might change everything.
After practice, I found Henry waiting by the pool deck like usual.
I was toweling off when I mentioned to him that Darran had a really good butterfly technique and that he should come to our weekend training sessions.
Henry’s jaw tightened slightly, which was a tell I knew from when he was bothered about something but didn’t want to show it.
He glanced over at Darran, who was still in the pool finishing his cooldown laps, before forcing a smile and shrugging.
"Sure, if you think it’ll help the team."
His voice had an edge to it that I had never heard before.
I realized then that the waters I was navigating were becoming more turbulent than I had anticipated.
