Mending Broken Friendships

Scorpio's POV

I decided to swim today. There's nothing better than a dip on a hot day. I practiced on holding my breath. I made it to four minutes. I was about to attempt to beat the time until...

"Hey Scorpio." The voice sounded familiar. I turned around and saw the brunette beauty in all her glory.

"H-hey Taurus." I felt my ears burn a bit from blushing.

"I was wondering if you wanted to be friends again?"

"I would love to, but I thought you never wanted to talk to me again."

"I didn't, but then Cap told me to talk to you."

"Cap told you that?"

"Yea. He said that we should give you another chance."

"Don't you mean a second chance?"

"You blew your second chance."

"Third?"

"Fucked that one up to."

"Ok, then I fuck up a lot. Taur_"

"Please don't say that you love me."

"I wasn't. I was going to say that I don't want to lose you. I want you to be in my life."

"In like a best friend way?"

"Yea. I respect that you're fucking Cap." My remark got me a playful shove and flick on my chest.

"S-shut up," she stammered and her face turned bright red.

"Anyway, I realized that you and Cap love each other. The only place that I can fit in is as the best friend."

"Yea and as a swim coach too."

"What do you mean 'swim coach'?"

"I can't swim and I thought that you would be able to teach me."

"You can't swim?"

"Not everyone can."

"I can't ride a bike."

"Really?"

"I spent so much time in the water. I just thought that knowing how to ride a bike was unnecessary."

"I'll teach you how to ride a bike and you can teach me how to swim."

"Sounds like a fair exchange."

"So is it agreed upon?"

"Are there any fine print shit that I should know about?"

"No."

"Nothing like Cap is going to be joining our practices or anything."

"He may join once or twice."

"Why?" I groaned. These swimming lessons are supposed to be private. I'm supposed to be alone with a pretty girl.

"Swimming lessons are pretty handsy. A good bit of people get sexual harassed at pools each year."

"Okay, but do I seem like the person who would do that?"

"So are we on for swimming lessons?"

"Yea, but_"

"Alright, see ya tomorrow." She sped off before she even finished her sentence.

"You didn't answer my question."

Leo's POV

I was pissed off. I threw my sketchbook across the room along with my markers and pens.
