Swallowed Whole
[At All Time High's pool....]
"Class, this is Rachel, the new swimming instructor here. You'll have her for the entire school year twice a week. I trust you'll follow her instructions carefully. You'll be required to wear bikinis for ladies and swim trunks for males," began Mrs. Weighs.
"Bikinis? How embarrassing," blushed Persephone.
"Don't worry, Persephone. I bet you'll look great in a bikini," assured Marcus.
"Yeah, I wear one myself. They're not so bad," added Samantha.
"Even I'm wearing one. Now let's get you all ready for a dip in the pool. Come back out in 10 minutes and we'll get started," admitted Rachel. [10 minutes later....]
"I still don't feel covered," noted Persephone.
"Your bikini's too small. It's barely visible behind you," realized Marcus.
"Whoops! Guess I forgot to replace that one last year. It's okay, though, Persephone. You look great in it," added Rachel.
"W-w-well okay," stuttered Persephone nervously.
"Great as a sumo wrestler that is," snickered Rainbow.
"Everyone in the pool so we'll get started," requested Rachel before almost everyone got in.
"This is as far as I'm doing this stunt," muttered Rainbow.
"No, everyone includes you," protested Rachel.
"Don't think so. This is another stunt by that stupid Superintendent to gawk at our flab with minimal coverage," insisted Rainbow.
"Need I remind you that this counts as class participation?" questioned Rachel.
"Well I'm not participating," countered Rainbow.
"Come on, Rainbow, even I got in and I'm the one you ridiculed," pleaded Persephone.
"Ugh, FINE, but any mishaps aren't my fault," relented Rainbow before getting in.
"Let's do some simple techniques. Everyone on your back and float. We'll make this easy in case it's your first time," continued Rachel.
"This isn't so bad," remarked Marcus.
"Yeah, it's like a day off school," agreed Kyle.
"As long as I'm not the only one doing it, I guess it's okay," figured Persephone. [Later that day....]
"Good first day, class. We'll see you in two days to add to what we've done today," commended Rachel before everyone left. [Outside the school....]
"I think next pool day I'll just stay home. What a ridiculous routine," admitted Rainbow.
"Whew, I'm glad that's over. I'm not sure I'm quite used to the whole 'bikini' thing, but my friends will probably get me past that fear," thought Persephone.
