Elise Don had only skipped four classes, yet when she returned to the elective swimming class, she was shocked to find that all the techniques had been taught, and her classmates could swim quite decently.
Their progress was astounding.
Only Elise Don, only she, still couldn't swim and hadn't even gotten into the water.
Katherine Blue called to her from the poolside: "Come on in, didn't you say you could swim?"
A cold wind blew past, and Elise Don rubbed her arms, wishing she could just disappear.
Originally, she had been envious of the girls from the foreign language college who swam well, which prompted her to brag without thinking. Now, she's paying the price, about to drown in her own lies.
With a trembling heart, Elise Don slowly edged toward the side of the pool, then sat down and dipped her delicate feet into the water.
As soon as her foot touched the water, she quickly withdrew it.
