"I wish this suit fit me perfectly!"
Jacob felt the world around him shudder, as if someone had placed a giant gong under the water and rung it.
The suit now felt fine. In fact, it felt better than fine. It felt like the perfect second skin. Jacob felt the water gliding around his body. He suddenly began to feel kind of insecure. He had no idea why this feeling came over him, but it was there now. Something about being in this pool, racing Seth felt odd. He hadn't felt this way for years; not since he was a young teenage.
Jacob remembered how the beginning of highschool and puberty had made him feel so small and unsure about everything. He remembered seeing all his friends grow so much taller than him, only catching up years later. Suddenly, he was very nervous and he had a small bit of terror worming it's way around his throat, making it hard for him to breath.
He left the pool with Seth still in it and stumbled his way to the outdoor showers, just as the bell sounded, indicating that the swim class had just began.
Seth heard the bell and knew the pool was about to be flooded with new swimmers. He righted himself in the water and was about to tell Jacob that they should leave for now, when he looked around and saw nobody.
Well, not exactly nobody. There was a young man, no, a young boy, like a teenager, actually, showering over by the entrance. Whoa, Seth thought to himself, that squirt's a deadringer for Jacob back when he was that age. I gotta find Jacob and get him to meet this kid. I can probably convince this kid to help me get under Jacob's skin; really drive home my point about him acting juvenile.
