Lauren looked back seeing a bump out off to the side, a rather large one. She knew that once she left the water, which she started to warm up to, slowly, she would be even more freezing. But her legs were getting tired.
"Eh, race you. . ." She said, wondering if he'd even bother seeing as he backed down earlier. She knew he was sort of joking, but she wasn't, and she took off.

Nic didn't have a chance to say anything before she took off. Nic shrugged. If she wanted to lose then she'll lose. Nic took off after her. He was slowly gaining on her, but he must not have realized how tired he was. His arms were starting to become sluggish and so were his legs. "Women," he cried before he dived under and swam using his legs more than his arms.

Lauren knew she was ahead of him, and she could sense him gaining on her. Then she heard no splashing anymore. She figured it another joke, but she still couldn't hear anything, so she uprighted herself. Right when she did that, she felt a force from underneath sweep her backwards. She felt feet go ahead of her, Nic, she thought.
"Arg," she muttered, because he swept her from under herself, not that she was getting beat, because she knew she could atleast tie if not still win.

Nic felt sometihng brush him above and happend to glance back. He had passed her! Nic laughed which wasn't smart under water. He immediately came up spitting water and coughing. Nic couldn't let her win so he tried to ignore his body's convulsions and keep swimming. She won't win, she won't win, she won't win.

Lauren saw him come up for air, which was easily a four second advantage for her, atleast. She swam hard, come just up to him. She place her hands on his shoulders and pushed him down, slowing his motion. She swam as fast as she could to pass him. She wanted to pass without giving him a chance for revenge. She could see the rock within reach, but not quite. She galnced back, keeping swimming, to see wear Nic was.

Nic felt her hands on his bare shoulders and braced himself. When she swam past Nic silently cursed himself. He happened to see her ankle in front of him and he grabbed it pulling her down. He came up for air just as he felt his torso go past her and glanced straight ahead. The rock was close. I"m gonna win.

Lauren hated this tug-o-war towards the rock that she had put herself into, unless she won. She felt his hand grab her ankle and pull her behind him. She swam as hard as she could. Her head was right by his waist, but she did not touch him. If she was going to win, she was going to win fair, though she'd already cheated, her legs were hurting badly. Then,
"Ah!" she exclaimed with pain. The rock was near, but she did not show signs to care. She tread water harshly, but tried.

Nic heard her cry. The game was over. Nic's manner would not let him leave a girl in pain. Nic quickly stopped and swam back to her. He wrapped one arm around her waist and helped her to the rock. He didn't care if she fought like a banshee he wasn't releasing her til they were at the rock.
"Don't worry. I got you. I told you we shouldn't race. Women!"

Lauren grinned, touching the rock before he had. When they were on top of it, out of the water,
"I win," she said softly. She shook her hair looser and looked at him. She knew it would work, even with him, she figured. It was freezing out there. She almost wished to go back in the water, but better to rest than wear yourself out she thought.

Nic heard her, but ignored her. He won. Letting her die wouldn't benefit him not one bit. He rubbed her arms a bit and then closed his eyes as he thought of the one spell he had learned for Lily. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. The temperature immediately rose. They were warm and comfortable. "This won't last long. I can only hold it for a few minutes before the temperature comes back. Also I can't do it alot. I get too weak and will pass out." Nic smiled at her tried not to notice how clingy her swim suit was. Lily would kill him if she knew.

Lauren felt the temprature rise and she looked around, surprised. When he explained, she grinned. She had not yet heard of such a charm. But then again, he was a whole year more advanced than she. She looked around in the darkness, as a short silence occured. To stall, she gave a 'thank you' grin to Nic.
"So in the mean time, what should we do?"

Nic looked at her with questions in his eyes. "I though you was thinkin on how to get back to the school." Nic looked up and saw that the sky was gettin brighter. "Look we can catch a..." Nic snap his fingers trying to recall that word. He never seen one since in the city there's so many lights. "That thing the sun does. Go up!"

Lauren looked at him with questioning eyes. "A sunrise?" she asked suspiciously. She had never been one of the people who woke up so early so that they could see the sunrise. She never understood why people cut there sleep short. She leaned back on rock,
"If the sunrise brings warmth," she said, noting the temperature drop slightly again.

"Yeah that's it. A sunrise." Nic hadn't really paid attention to the temperature dropping. He looked over and saw she was shivering slightly. Nic did the charm again, but this time he sat down heavily on a rock. He was starting to get little beads of sweat on his forehead. "In a few we should head back. I can't do the temp. thing again. Or we'll be stuck here all day and man that won't be good."

((OMFG, I'm soooo sorry))
Lauren shrugged. She hated the cold, but she could take it. She lived in a temperate climate at home, meaning when it was supposed to cold, it was cold and when it was supposed to be warm, it was warm.
"I don't care. Unless you want to head in, I'm fine," she said.
