The tie breaker

The next two races undid all the hard work that the East Hall students had done so far. The next two duos from the senior hall won their races fairly comfortably, easily a lot more aggressive than the two East Hall duos.

The incredible brunette senior, Tayla, proved that she isn’t just some hot popular chick, she’s also an incredible athlete. So talented. She dominated her race, bringing the score back to 2-2.

In the final race which was meant to be the decider, it ended in controversy. It ended up being too close to call, it was that tight at the end. With no real fair way of decided who won the point, everyone agreed that they there should be a tie-breaker round instead.

The way the rules worked for this Tie-Breaker is that each Hall would pick just one competitor to do the course. It was the same course, the same swim at the end and doing the same on the way back to the finish line.

Each Hall had a minute to decide who would represent them in the final. Due to how strong Mark’s swimming abilities were and being one of the only people to score a point for the team, East Hall elected Mark.

He looked over at the other side immediately to see who they had picked out. Without too much of a surprise, they had chosen Tayla. She grinned, looking very confident in a superior sort of matter.

She was wearing a very light pink two piece bikini. Mark couldn’t help but drool, he didn’t mind coming up against the brunette senior knowing that there would probably have to be at least a little body contact and maybe even a little wrestle.

Mark prepared himself for the start. He received some positive encouragement from the other members of the hall. None more so than Tiffany herself. “You can do this Mark, I know you can,” she said, holding both his arms and smiling at him.

She then took off this small bracelet that she was currently wearing. “Here,” she said, taking his hand to put the bracelet on him.

“What’s this?”

“It may sound a little silly but this is my lucky bracelet, might give you a little extra luck in the final race.”

Mark smiled and thanked her, she always made him so giddy. Now he really wanted to win this.

It was going to be much easier to run since he wouldn’t be tied up to anyone this time. He just had to keep his balance, stay focused and be quick. The water would be his biggest strength where he could potentially make ground.

Lining up at the edge of the pool, he took one last look at Tayla who was standing next to him.

Damn, why did she have to look so confident and so fucking hot.
