During school hours, no one should be wandering around the pool at that time of day. Lucky for Esha, she was right. For the time being at least. The gym was empty, the locker room was too, she had a bit of time to go for a swim and let her gills air out. Even though she knew she was safe from the public eye, she still covered her body her towel as she entered the pool deck. Her hair looked as though it was already wet since it was so glossy and furrowed back like she just stepped out of the pool, but that was just how her quills appeared naturally.
As she inched her way to the poolside, her eyes peered from one end of the room to the other. She could clearly see into the hall, but she was a bit nervous because she thought someone could see her right back. She knew it was a one way window since she passed by it earlier, but she was just thinking irrationally again. After summoning up all the courage she could, she dropped the towel revealing her quill covered body covered by a one piece suit. She’d have bought something that concealed her better, like wrapping around her arms and legs but nothing to that extreme was available at the time. The bits of her body that could be seen seemed as though they were covered in thick glossy hair, except it was very clean and straight. She finally leapt into the pool, shallow end first.
As she rose out of the water, she could feel the flaps at the sides of her neck open and she began to do laps around the shallow area, avoiding the deeper end like there was some sort of animal waiting for her to cross the boundaries. Esha was going to start small, she’d work her way to the other end of the pool if she felt brave enough later on. She kept her face in the water, an unnatural sight for anyone who commonly watched swimming or swam themselves. Pool first, then possibly the lake after she researched and knew all the creatures that lurked there. She dreaded the day though, she always preferred crisp and clean water like the pool here. She just hoped she could enjoy this moment alone.
