"Alright, it's time to see if Chris Hamilton can do it again. If he can match his time from yesterday, he'll almost certainly come away with the gold," said the announcer as the swimmers all got on the blocks.

A voice on the PA said, "On your marks," and then the buzzer sounded and the swimmers were off. The screen zoomed out to show all the swimmers. Chris had gotten off to a decent start. He was maybe one arm's length behind Claude.Not a big deal. He always finishes strong.

I pushed through the locker room door as the swimmers hit their first and only turn. Chris had caught Claude and looked to be a few fingertips in front of him.

"You got this," I whispered.

Chris was two strokes away from the wall when I walked directly into someone. My phone flew out of my hands and crashed to the locker room floor.

"Whoa!" yelled a guy. "What are you doing in here?!"

I looked up for the first time since the race had started. The guy in front of me had his hand on his junk and was scrambling to put his towel back on. My mouth dropped as my eyes landed on his chiseled abs. His chestnut hair was shaggy and stopped right above his baby blue eyes.His bewildered baby blue eyes.Oh my God.I had wandered into the men's locker room.And I'm staring at a naked man that's not Chris!

All I could think to do was scream and run away.

Going For Gold - Chapter 2

Saturday

"Did he win?" asked Kristen as I sat down next to her at our lockers. "And why is your face so red?"

I shrugged and tried to play it cool. "I dunno."

"What do you mean you don't know?"

"Don't worry about it. Hey, can I borrow your phone for a second?" I had accidently left my phone on the floor of the men's locker room, but I couldn't tell her that.God, why do I always have to do the most embarrassing stuff?

"What do you need my phone for? I already put it in my locker."

"Mine uh...stopped working."

"So you didn't see if he won or not?"

"Nope. I was just sitting on the bench when you told me I should hurry. When I looked back down, the screen had gone black. I tried turning it off and on again, but nothing happened. I even tried to take the battery out. I'll tell you, those iPhones just aren't made the way they used to be."

"Okay, you can use my phone. If you tell me what really happened to yours."

"What do you mean? I already told you."Shit! How does she know I'm lying?

Kristen raised an eyebrow at me. "Oh come on, you always ramble when you lie. And you can't take the battery out of an iPhone."

"Damn it, fine. I accidentally went into the men's locker room while I was watching the race and I bumped into this guy in a towel. Then I screamed and ran out."

Kristen started laughing hysterically. "Oh my God, are you serious?"

"Yes."

"So you missed your boyfriend's race because you were in the men's locker room?"

"Yes."

"What did the guy do when you bumped into him?"

"He screamed and covered himself. He was as surprised as I was."

"So you knocked his towel off? Did you see his junk?"
