Reiko was indignant, her fury written plain on her face. Who could blame her? She knew her swim coach was the sort who would stop at nothing to put their team ahead in a meet.
Whether it was changing the location of a competition at the last minute, causing the opposing team to suffer from a mysterious shortage of swimsuits, or forcing her own members to fast for twenty-four hours prior to the big day. Any means necessary.
Their new 'uniform' design was pushing it. Of course, Reiko had heard of fabric that was meant to be as unobtrusive to a swimmer as possible, designed from the lightest, most delicate material.
They tended to stop short of being completely see through! It would have been great had Koi told her about that before she put her uniform and underwear away in her locker, too.
"Oh, quit being so bashful. You'll be underwater for most of the day, and you'll have a towel when you're not. No one'll see a thing."
"Well, *THEY* can see just about everything right now!" As her face blazed with a flustered red, she motioned indicatively at the other girls on the team... who were wearing the more traditional uniforms, made of navy blue cloth that was most certainly not see through. They were giggling, too.
"Sure, laugh it up, you bitches won't think it's so funny when it's your turn!"
"Oh, chill out, Rei! You could make a new fashion statement!" "Yeah, you might even get used to it! Exhibition's all the rage this season!"
The giggles turned into hysterical laughter. Reiko grabbed her towel and stormed off. It was almost her turn, and the last thing she needed was those idiots distracting her.
"On your marks..." Her strategy had been well planned out. Reiko stayed knelt close to the edge of the pool, her towel worn close around her shoulders as she put her hands on the tiled rim of the pool.
