Max presses the button on the stopwatch as Joy dives into the pool off the diving podium. She was dressed in her school swimsuit but wasn’t taken part in the meet. The other school refused to let her compete against their girl’s swim team. They said if she wanted to compete against the boys, she could. But not against the girl’s swim team. The parents of the other team had found out she wasn’t a biological girl and felt she had an unfair advantage.

They also threaten not to come if she competed against them. So, a compromise was reached, where she would sit out and help coach Karr during the meet. Max didn’t feel it was right for the girls on her team to not compete. She didn’t want to compete against the boys. It would look embarrassing to them if she won, which she knew she could.

She competed against them last season and beat the guys who competed against her. She stops the time watch when Joy’s hand touched the poolside. A smile appears on Max’s face “you smoked the other girl, Joy.” As Max helps Joy out of the pool.

“Thanks. I still think it stinks that you can’t compete.” Joy liked Max.

“It’s okay. Me and Mrs. Karr knew this might happen. I could have competed, but it would have been against the guys.”

“Why didn’t you?” Joy was confused why Max didn’t.

“Because I didn’t want them to look bad by getting beat by a girl. They have the same swimmers as they did last year.”

“And you beat several of them last year.”

“Yes.” Max looks over towards the guys.

“Well, you’re a better person than I would have been.”

“Thanks.”

Joy walks over to the bench where the rest of their team was sitting. She and some of the other girls felt sorry that Max couldn’t compete. Max was a strong swimmer.

Betty was up next, and she takes her place. She looks over towards Max “this is for you, Max.”

As soon as the other coach fires the gun off, Betty dives into the pool. She had dive so far out into her lane, that she had a big lead already on her competitor. By the time the other girl got down the lane and flipped. Betty was already a quarter of the way back.

Max couldn’t believe Betty’s time as she watched the stopwatch. She was breaking her old time. Max stops the stopwatch as Betty’s fingers touched the poolside.

“You broke your old time, Betty.” Max shows Betty her time.

“I was motivated, today.” Betty did it because she wanted the other school to feel little for keeping Max out.

The rest of the meet, all the girls on Max’s team beat every single girl of the opposite school. They wanted to show that they should have let Max compete. Maybe one of them might have stood a chance against her.

Coach Karr saw the times the girls were getting and couldn’t believe how badly they were beating the other school. Last year, the girls barely won against them. However, this year they were kicking the other schoolgirl's butts.

At the end of the match, Max follows her teammates to the girl’s locker room. There was some uproar from some of the mothers of the other team about her being in there. However, coach Karr puts end to it. She was following the new laws and all the girls on the swim team uses to Max already.

As Max was getting dressed, Carol noticed that Max’s breasts had gotten bigger. She looks at her own and wonders how big Max was going to get.

“Hey, Max, how much bigger are you going to get?” Carol was curious.

“I don’t know. I’m trying a new drug that my doctor prescribed. I can tell you this, it made me understand what you ladies go through each
month.” Max noticed her emotions, and such were on a roller-coaster. Also, she was experiencing cramps and feeling bloated as well.

“I wish you could experience our monthly gift as well.” Cindy hated her period because it was so messy.

“I wish I could as well.”

“Then you would have to worry about some guy trying to knocking you up, Max.” Joy had one guy who wanted to have sex with her.

As much as she wanted to, she wanted to wait until she was married, before she had sex. Also, she has been thinking about getting a birth control implant. She puts her bra on and finishes getting dress.

Max walks out of the locker room with the rest of her team. As she is walking out of the locker room, something hits her in the forehead. She feels something wet sliding down her head.

Joy was walking next to Max when she felt something wet hit her cheek. She wipes her cheek and felt something wet on it. She looks at her hand and notices it was red. Just as she looks at Max, one of the other girl's screams.

Max falls to the floor from being hit. Nancy tries catching Max but doesn’t catch her in time. She kneels next to Max to see what happened to her. She notices a red mark in the middle of Max’s forehead. There was a small shiny ball still in her skin.

“MRS. KARR!” She holds Max’s head.

Coach Karr comes running out of the locker room and spots the girls gathered around someone. She runs over to them and spots Max laying on the floor with blood coming from a wound to her head.

Coach Karr calls 911. She was worried about Max and wonders who did this to her. she looks down the hallway that leads to the locker room, but doesn't see anyone.

Nancy holds Max's head and hopes she'll be alright. All the girls on the swim team were concerned and wonder who did this to Max.

Seven minutes later two paramedics come running towards the girls.
