It's Valentine's Day, which means it's time for lovers to show their love for one another by spending money on chocolates and other gifts. This is a good time for us to catch up with the narrator, who's in bed. He's been up all day, but he's still not feeling well. He tells us that he was waiting for her for an hour, but she told him she had already left. He asks her why she didn't say anything, and she tells him that she's just tired. He suggests that she come to practice with him, and he'll be there too, too, to talk to her about what happened. He also tells her that he doesn't know why she left, and that she should take it all in stride. She tells him to come with her to practice, and then she'll tell him what happened, too. He says he'd be happy to talk with him too, since he might be able to help her with confidence. He then asks her if she'd like to go swimming with him. She says no, since tryouts have been canceled for the past week. She's got a spare locker in her locker, so she can use it for swimming. The narrator asks if she can pass the swim test, and the girl says she can, but that her original is lame. She also tells the narrator that she can't beat him in the swimming contest, and says she've never seen a swimmer who can beat her. She then asks the narrator if she could imagine how the girls would react if they were forced to do something like this.
