Dev was feeling rather cold on a cold day; though it was certainly time she did some other form of exercise than her usual ride in the morning. Equestrian people needed a lot of exercise anyway, and it most certainly didn’t hurt to get herself fit to ride better. A good swim in general was something that most definitely relaxed her at the end, no matter how hard she pushed herself or relaxed. They had showers in the pool area as well so she wouldn’t have to come back to her dorm sopping wet, and freezing practically to death. Monte Carlo never really got as cold as it did here, but she was slowly getting used to it.
Hurriedly moving down the cement path in her rain boots, Dev was still feeling the chill bite her ears and fingers mercilessly. She had ordered some warmer wear before she had come, but now she was seriously investing in a parka. Finally, a grin spread across her face as the lights of the swimming pool are illuminated the area around it. It wasn’t quite dark yet, though it was growing closer to night and Dev was feeling rather paranoid about walking around in the dark.
Entering the humid area as quickly as she could, the girl breathed a sigh of relief as the hot air hit her like a rippling, relaxing wave off the harbor. Racing over to the changing rooms as quickly as possible, Dev fitted nicely into her sleek, blue racing suit, though of course, she wasn’t competitive anymore. She certainly missed it however. The brunette made a few ridiculous faces into the mirror as she fit her hair under a cap and traipsed out the door as carefully as she could without slipping on the wet area.
Looking at the blue, chlorinated water, the sixteen year old slipped an inconspicuous foot inside to test the temperature before going up to the diving block. Dev took a deep breath before cannonballing in. Immediately, a shocked look crossed her expression. The water was a lot colder to her body than it was to her foot! She resurfaced, taking in a big gulp of air and shivering. Perhaps laps would warm her up.

Being a musician could really tire someone out. All the redhead had done that day was her trumpet lesson, an hour and a half of trumpet practise, an hour of band and an hour of orchestra. Hurrying back from orchestra, Lucy ran into the dormitory block, ran all the way up the stairs to the fourth floor and ran down the corridor to her dorm that she was supposed to share with someone but the other space hadn't been allocated yet. Unlocking the door, the sixteen year old entered the room, placed her trumpet case under her bed, gave a single yawn whilst she stretched her arms up above her head. Jumping onto her bed, Lucy then settled into a comfortable position and just stared into space.
About forty-five minutes later, the girl stirred from her little nap. "i must have been tired" Lucy thought to herself as she got up from her current position. Giving a yawn, the girl got up from the bed and wandered over to her wardrobe and mirror. In the time the girl had been asleep, the sky had started to turn dark. As the girl looked in the mirror, she started brushing her now messy hair back into it's natural curly state.Whilst she was doing this daily activity, she was thinking what she should do witht he rest of her day. "Ah, ha." A thought came into her head like a flash. "I could go have a swim in the school's pool" . The girl hadn't swum in so long but she knew she needed some exercise so she stripped down to her underwear (Luckily she was on her own in the dorm), walked over to her wardrobe and took her red swimsuit, grey tracksuit and grey vans out of the wooden storage box. Taking her underwear off, Lucy then slipped the swimsuit over her slender body and pulled her tracksuit over the top. Slipping her vans onto her bare feet, Lucy then chucked her clothes back into the wardrobe and wandered over to her bedside table. Grabbing a black hairband from the drawer, The sixteen year old tied her fiery red hair up into a ponytail. She then took her goggles and cap out of the drawer and put them into her hoodie pocket.
Making sure she had everything she needed, the red headed girl walked out of her dorm and locked it behind her. Even though she had only been at Oasis for three months and had never been to the pool, Lucy knew exactly where it was so she hurried down the concrete path until she reached the building which housed the indoor swimming pool. "Perfect." The girl whispered to herself as she quietly entered the building. Hurrying over to the changing rooms, Lucy slipped off her hoodie and her vans and then sat on one of the provided benches and puleld her tracksuit bottoms off. Taking her cap and goggles out of her hoodie pocket, the red haired girl then pulled her ponytail up and held it with one hand whilst fitting her red swimming cap over the top with the other hand. Putting her googles on and tightening them up so they would stay on the top of her head, Lucy then wandered over to the lockers, found one of the many empty lockers and chucked her stuff in, locking the door with the code that the students had been given. Next thing she heard was a loud splash and being careful not to fall over the wet floor, the sixteen year old raced over to the changing room entrance and saw a girl treading water in the middle of the pool. Walking over to the edge of the pool, Lucy sat down with a bump and hung her legs over the edge so that her feet were dangling in the water and started watching the girl who looked like she was starting to do laps.
