Sabotaging My Walkout Queen novel Chapter 35

Athena’s P.O.V.

“How dare you?” I growled as I pushed him back to the pool.

That was when I remembered that he was one of the best swimming athletes in the school. I haven’t watched any swimming competition in St. Augustine’s Academy yet, I had only seen his face on some posters.

I held my forehead out of disgust. I guessed I no longer felt any headache caused by my fever—but a different headache because of extreme stupidity! The thought of him getting drowned still lingered on my mind. I didn’t even know what to do a while ago. I worried so much about him, then… I would have found out later that he was only acting and pretending?

Shit! You’re so stupid, Athena. How did you let yourself be fooled by someone like him?

This time, he was laughing while swimming in the water—too blissful of someone’s humiliation. He was even doing different kinds of strokes such as butterfly, front crawl, and backstrokes just to catch my attention. I must say that whatever he does involve rhythmic and coordinated movements of all his major body parts.

Damn you, Cristoff! Enjoy that happiness… because I won’t let this day pass without getting even!

“Helena, I’m sorry! Was it my fault if you worried too much about me to the point that you forgot that I’m a swimmer? Almost all swimming posters at school have my face!” He smiled at me foolishly. He was saying sorry, but he was clearly mocking me.

I stomped off my feet because, for the umpteenth time, he pushed me towards my limit. “The hell I care if you are a swimmer! Should I know about it?” I lied while yelling at him.

Then, I hoarsely continued. “And why do you have to pretend that you can’t even swim? Why do you have to act that you’re totally drowning? Of course, I will save you. You’re here in our mansion, and we would be the ones in charge of anything that will happen to you! You know that I have a fever, but what did you do? You made me jump to the pool!”

“I didn’t ask you to jump, Helena… it was your own decision. Now I know that you wouldn’t want me to die, I like that! But if you would be the one to do me a CPR whenever things like this happened, I would love to get drowned over and over again!” I knew my cheeks went red when he said that, but I chose to ignore him. I felt so cold and ended up squeezing my wet clothes.
