[A multi part story inspired by my own experience. The first part which is story set-up is basically entirely true from my own perspective (Emily represents my perspective, other characters' thoughts imagined). In this telling every character is at the end of high school so 18 or over]
Following the most embarrassing class in Chris's school life so far, not only did he have to endure ridicule by his classmates, but also a detention for breaking the rule "no petting in the pool." What did that even mean? The detention took place Friday lunchtime before the gym class at the end of the week. "Hi Chris" said Emily playfully as she arrived with Madison outside the coach's office.
Chris looked down at the floor and said "hi" quietly, too embarrassed to look them in the eye.
Coach opened the office door and said "ok you three, get changed into your gym kits and meet me in the gym in five."
The three students looked at each other. "We didn't bring them coach, we didn't realize we needed them."
The coach sighed. "Bring gym kits to all gym detentions. That's the rule. So you've earned yourselves another detention. For this time I'll bring you the spare kit, wait here."
Chris glared at Emily and Madison. It was their fault he was here at all, totally unfairly, and now he'd have to have another detention as well! Madison looked away shyly, while Emily just smiled.
Coach returned. "Only two sets of spare kit left" he said, passing them to Emily and Madison. "Chris you can use your swim shorts."
