Shasta stood on a limb of an old oak tree her arms outstrectched. I suppose to a simple passerby it would look as though she might be trying to kill herself with the stance. Although, they would also notice she was only a few feet above WATER not ground.
With a deep breath Shasta closed her eyes. After a moment of silence her eyes shot open and a smile spread across her lips.
GO! she yelled and jumped from the branch moving her arms in front of her head and making contact with the surface of the lake quickly moving to the murky depths. She did a somersault under water and pushed off the soft soil and swam back to the top. She let out the breath that had been in her lungs for a while and flung her head back getting her wet hair out of her face. She treaded water in place for a while while she smoother back her hair and took in some sweet breaths.
Time for round 2. she said with a smile and started back towards shore.

Dean wandered around the outer area of the lake, jsut thinking to himself. He had arrived at the academy only minutes ago, and it was alreayd the last place he wanted to be: cooped up inside the school. His hadns were stuffed inside his pockets and he was humming a random tune when he heard something. It was the voice of a girl who had shouted 'GO!'. He turned towards the lake just in time to see a female figure gracefully land in the murky water. He had heard her say 'Round 2' so most likely she was going to go at it again. He shrugged and walked closer ot the lake, taking a seat on a wooden bench nearby.

Shasta walked out of the water and flipped her hair back over her shoulder and strung it out and then flipped it back again behind her head.
She looked up and saw the boy sitting on the bench. She smiled at him and waved and headed back up the tree, she was already half way to the branch when she called back down to him.
You wanna come? It's a jolly good time. she said with a really bad british accent.
She finally reached the branch and tugged off her soaked tee shirt to reveal the top of her purple one piece swimsuit.
She looked back down at the boy and smiled as if to say 'well, are you coming or not?'

Dean looked up as the girl came out of the water and flahsed him a smile and a wave. He smiled back nicely and gave her a small wave as well.
He watched as she headed back up for another go. She stopped have way and invited Dean to join her. He though for a moment, he wasn't wearing his swim trunks, but neither was she. That is, until he saw her take off her shirt, revealing a purple one piece swimsuit.
"Sure, why not?" he said witha smile and slipped off his shoes and socks and began climbing the tree to join teh girl up there.
When he reahced the branch he said, "I'm Dean by the way."

Shasta smiled at him and said
My name is Shasta, it's nice to meet you.
She smiled then grabbed his hand and said held up her other hand, put up one finger, then another, and a third took a quite breath and then jumped dragging him with her.

Shasta, that was a cool name.
Before he could say anything, Shasta grabbed his hand with one of hers and with the other she was holding it up counting: One finger...Two fingers...Three fingers! She she jumped, dragging him down. He could've easily teleported back to dry land, but he didn't want to. The sudden fall was thrilling.
SPLASH! He hit the water and surfaced, his heart pounding. "That was awomse!" He exclaimed! He treaded water for a bit while waiting for Shasta.

Shasta let go of his hand when they met with the surface of the water and stayed submerged for a while after him. Then she heard him yell something, she thought it was "awsome"
She swam up to the surface and flipped her hair back treaded water and smiled at him.
So did you have fun? Wanna go again?

Not having been in the water for a while, Dean decided to enjoy it and began doing a little back stroke while he waited for Kagami to surface. When she did, she asked if he wanted to go again. Did he? "Absolutely!" He began to swim back to land to go back up again.

Pulling his drenched-self out of the lake's cool water and began his trip back up the tree. When he reached the branch he had jumpe off of, he peeled off his shirt for it was weighing him town a lot. He sighed a breath of relief and waited for Shasta to catch up to him.

Shasta smiled at his reaction. She took her time swimming back to land on her back though, enjoying the afternoon sky, and even the EXTREMELY brisk coldness of the water, it all mixed together to create an intoxicating situation. When she finally reached the edge she crawled out and raced back to the tree. When she looked up she saw him shirtless and smiled, sensing time to mess with him.
Better watch it. Seeing a mans skin is against my religion! she said wearing a completely serious face as she made her way up the tree. She finally reached the top and looked at him, still completely serious and said
Well? and stood there waiting for his reaction.

Dean stood there, wearing only his jeans which were still drenched and weren't going to get any dryer, enjoying the hot sun. A smile grew on his face with the mix of his damp cold self and the small breeze, made him shiver slightly but he didn't mind. He had looked down and saw Shasta laying down on the floor enjoying the heat. He gave a small chuckle and peered down below at the calm water, that was soon going to be disrupted.
When Shasta had finally caught up to him and told him that seeing a man shirtless was against her religion, he just stood there looking at her. He crossed his arms and cocked his left eyebrow curiously. When he didn't answer and she waited for his answer, her facial expression dead serious, he asked. "What exact;y is your religion?"
