Toralei strode across the gym, her long black and white shorts swishing. Her headphones were planted in her ears, blasting pop music. Trotting around the perimeter, she took in every inch of the building. Her black and white hair was matted with sweat, and her face was red. She slowed to a limp and her long limbs shook with every breath. "Yeah, I think it's time to slow down..." she muttered, leaning against the wall. After a few minutes' worth of attempting to catch her breath, she walked to the locker room and grabbed her bag. Changing into her swimsuit, she thought of how hard the actual class might be. Striding out into the open spaces, her legs kept her walking until she got to the cool blue liquid. Dropping her bag down by the wall, she slid into the pool. When warm skin met cool water, she let out a gasp and dipped her head down into the liquid. Toralei shook her wet hair out of her face and, gasping for breath, popped out of the water.
