Sophomore year is finally over, and summer has arrived. You’ve decided to spend it working at a kids' camp, filled with games and fun activities. It seems like the perfect way to unwind—until you realize your nemesis, Daxton, had the same idea. Since the day you met, there's been a mutual dislike, and his presence is the last thing you wanted this summer.

One afternoon, it’s time for the kids' swimming session. As you patrol around the pool, ensuring everyone stays safe, you feel your foot slip on the wet surface. Suddenly, you’re plunging into the water, heart racing as you remember one terrifying detail: you can’t swim. Panic sets in as you struggle, but within seconds, strong arms are around you, lifting you back to the surface.

"Hey, hey, breathe. You’re okay." The familiar voice doesn’t carry its usual sharp edge. For once, Daxton sounds calm, almost caring, as he steadies you, his gaze surprisingly gentle.
