Chapter 3

About six coastal buses pulled over in front of the Deep Blue Sea, and each of the swimmers were standing for each other in their country. All the six men walked out of each coaster with their coaches at their backs.

" See how your fans are screaming out your Stanley" Coach Patrick said feeling proud of his student.

"Yeah"Stanley said shortly ,as he wasn't the talking type.

And just like that Stanley blew a kiss at his fans which earned another round of scream from them, tall with broad shoulders with brown hair , Stanley stood mainly among the other swimmers.

"Geez! Just a kiss they're going crazy" Coach Patrick said not entirely surprised by the loud scream.

"That's the power of Stanley, have you forgotten?''Stanley said teasley.

"Oh yes oh yes , it's the power of Stanley, go  change in the changing room , it'll be starting In a few minutes , I have to check the spot given to you first" Coach Patrick said.

"Wait.. You don't have to check the lane given to me, I'm actually okay with any lane, I can literally pull off any spot okay"Stanley said as he knew his coach the most.

"But you are literally good in the second spot but just let me check it out"Coach Patrick said, voicing out his thoughts.

"Okay …but like I said I'm okay with any spot but you should give it a try"Stanley said confidently.

Coach Patrick looked Straight into Stanley's eyes, he could see the determination in his eyes which was pretty much similar to the determination in his eyes the very first day he went to the Olympic competition.

" I believe in you Stanley,"He said.

"Oh please manager ! Why get emotional when it's not yet time? Com'on be a man you are!"Stanley said, tapping his coach back.

Stanley smiled lightly watching his coach rush off like a kid, he couldn't help but to laugh at his Coach  childishness.

"Hey man! Are you ready for the new me? Trust me I'm ain't gonna lose to you easily".

Stanley was heading towards the dressing room with some other members when he heard the voice beside him.

"What do you want, Yang? it's not my fault you lost to me thrice , is it my fault?"Stanley said shortly as he knew Yang Tang to be the bilious type.

Yang clenched his fist underneath upon hearing the words Stanley had said to him , he has always won the championship but he underestimated Stanley the very first time he came to the Olympic game , which made Stanley take away a medal from him.

"Just because I lost to you thrice, doesn't mean I'll this fourth time, trust me,  But you don't have to be scared okay , chill man"Yang Tang said grumpily with gritted teeth, as he tapped Stanley's shoulder in a teasing manner.

"C'mon man! I'm ain't scared! Scared of what? Scared because you left your own country to train yourself in a foreign country by a foreign coach, Damn you man you should be ashamed of facing your father land!" Stanley said coldly not caring about how Yang Tang would react.

"You! How dare you !"Yang Tang cursed angrily with gritted teeth, the look on him was murderous enough to kill anyone.

"Yes, How dare me what?You shouldn't Start what you wouldn't be able to finish man, anyway meet you at the pool"Stanley said before walking away.

Yang Tang breathed so instantly that he had to grasp for air to support himself.

Yang Tang is a Chinese swimmer who left his country and couch just because he was offered a higher price in a foreign country. It was the truth he has always been hiding from but Stanley voices the truth he hates hearing the most.

"Damn you Stanley! I'll show you and the whole world training in a foreign country is the best decision I have ever made, watch and see"Yang Tang said as he clenched his jaw tightly with a darkened expression.

   At the lounge.

It was the time the competition was about  to commence, everyone was eagerly waiting in anticipation for the swimmers to be brought , mainly for one person to be brought out, as the person was absolutely the reason why a lot of them came, the person was no other than Stanley.

"I'll be meeting you again Stanley, It's been a good freaking ten years Stanley"She thought to herself.

Amelia was lost in thought as she suddenly became scared with the sudden thought of meeting the guy she left ten years ago until she heard a loud scream, a very loud one which scared the hell outta her.

"Oh my goodness , can you all shut the hell up?"she yelled feeling agitated but it was more like she was speaking to herself, as the screams were getting louder and louder than before which got her confused , Wondering what what could make them scream.

"Miss, could you tell me why there's a scream from the crowd?"Amelia asked foolishly at the lady who wasn't paying attention to Amelia.

Amelia was instantly ignored which made her look forward , and just like the swimmers were walking out in an orderly manner .

Amelia's eyes weren't entirely focused , as it was looking for a particular person , which landed on the fourth guy on the line.

"Even after ten years Stanley, I'm still able to recognize you Stanley, I hope you still do recognize and remember me?" She asked herself, as if she could get the answer she was looking for.

" I'm pretty sure he doesn't, he wouldn't forget about me just like that , Stanley wouldn't do that , I'm sure of it"She mumbled confidently.

Looking into the man's face from afar , Amelia couldn't help but to drool over him, as Stanley had grown up looking more handsome and taller than he was ten years ago .

"Damn it ! That freaking pink lips is tempting , I have to taste it Stanley!".

Amelia was actually no different from a prevert , the look on her was unbelievable as she had always imagined thousands of things she had been craving to do with him.

"I'm just gonna start with a kiss, yeah just a kiss for starters"Amelia said inwardly feeling ecstatic.

****

 Everything has been set , the chief judges, starter, inspector in turn, clerk of course, technical manager and lastly referee, everyone one of them were ready.

"I have to make it, even though it's the fourth lane , yes I can make it!"Stanley said beatifically.

And just like that a whistle was heard from the referee which is  a signal to the swimmers , officials and spectacular

" I Can do it!"Stanley whispered with his eyes slightly closed.

And a signal was given to the swimmers by the starter  'Take your mark' and almost immediately a starting system was used to begin the race  which sounded like a loud horn.
