Later that evening, all four previously mentioned pool employees had a rare shift where they all worked after class to close. The pool closed at 9, so most of them were eager to get out of there, and filling out their time cards in the admin office.
"See the new girl today?" Dave asked Mitch
"Yeah! Man, no wonder she became a lifeguard, hopefully we see some saves this year, so I'll see her whip that shirt off and dive in!'" Mitch replied.
"Classy," said Meg, sarcastically. She wasn't really thrilled with this kind of work environment, in fact, if it were an office setting, she may have complained, but she knew (or at least hoped) they were joking. They never really commented on her great body, but she knew they found her hot, based off the looks that she got every time she worked outside, and decided to shed her light tank for the sake of a complete tan. Working at the pool had provided extra incentive for Meg to stay in shape during her freshman year, and now, as a sophomore, she possessed a body that was possibly even better than it had been in high school.
"Come on, Meg, you can't blame us, she's a fox!" Mitch said.
"Just don't let Deb hear you talking like that, she always seems to be protective of the new students, or at least she was for me." Meg responded.
Listening to all this quietly was Katie. She seethed with jealousy. She remembered when Deb seemed to care about her almost like a friend, back when she was thin. Katie came to the school as a former cheerleader, and after a training course, thought that lifeguard would be an easy. Katie had always been pretty growing up, and in her first semester at Powers was 5'6 115. She remembered all the attention that Mitch had given her fall of freshman year when they were both in training together, they had even hooked up. However, pounds slowly snuck their way on. It was gradual at first, 10 pounds throughout the first semester, bringing her to a still respectable 5'6 125. But then she fell off a cliff her first summer home. With the disposable income from life guarding, and her parents both working over dinner at their high stress jobs, Katie found herself relying on take out more and more, and the results were obvious. When she got back to school as a sophomore, she already weighed 150 pounds, and needed to size up on her swimsuit.
It all changed after that for Katie. Mitch suddenly was nice to her, but never showed any romantic interest again, and Deb, her demeanor changed dramatically. No longer would she ask how Katie's day was going, just a quick hello, and then Deb would move to ignore her. Trendy diet after tredy diet failed, and now Katie entered senior year at her highest weight ever, 190 pounds.
When she got back to her apartment, Katie saw an email from Deb,
Katie,
Hope your summer went well. Let me know your new size and preference so we can get you a new suit. Also, you will need to do another physical fitness test with Madison to keep certification.
Deb
She couldn't believe it. It was embarrassing enough that her boss thought she would not fit into last year's suit, but now she doubted she was even fit enough to serve?! She would have quit, but she wanted the money, and the job was easy. All Katie knew is that she was going to hate doing the physical with Madison.
