Yes; it's a swimming competition.

I will have to worry about the bet later. Right now, I had another sport that I can look great in: the swimming competition. This time I was up against my buddy Santiago. Being the former captain of his high school swim team, he was going to be tough to beat.

"Hey Sage," I spoke to my crush as we walked out of the station to the beach side. "I won't forget about the bet I promise, but for this one competition...will you give me a prize if I win?"

Ingrid raised a hand. "On your marks...get set..." she brought her hand down. "...Go!
