Luke steps aside and lets Ana leave first, she goes down the corridor while he leaves and goes in the opposite direction to the Guild meeting room, he's going to leave some papers that he was going to leave before the whole kissing scene happened, when he's entering the room, he meets Justin who was probably waiting for him.

"Wow... where were you Luke? We still have to go and train..."

Luke doesn't say anything, he just puts the papers in the drawer and locks it, then pushes Justin out to close the door.

"Come on, I'll close it before..."

Justin waits for him to finish his sentence, but Luke doesn't finish it, he just says:

"Nothing...never mind....emos logo."

Justin doesn't understand as usual, he notices that Luke seems a little nervous, but in the sense of anxiety, but he can't decipher exactly what made him anxious, they go down the stairs and out of the school, and as usual they go to the corner and Ana is there waiting for them, Justin already smiles and waves to Ana, Luke is serious and just walks quietly, Justin then decides to ask her if she knows anything, Ana tries not to tell him about the scene she saw of Scoot and Karoline, but she can't help it and ends up telling him:

"We saw Caroline and Scoot, they were..."

She gestures with her hands as if they were two little fish kissing.

Justin looks surprised, Ana asks him not to speak out loud:

"Shh... it's a secret, you can't tell Justin."

Justin makes a face like, "If it's a secret, why are you telling me?" He laughs and makes a mute sign with his hands, as if to close the zipper on his mouth. It partly satisfies his curiosity, but it's probably not what's got his brother so anxious. They arrive for training and soon go to change, Luke decides to train in the pool today so warns Justin about it, they change Luke puts on a sleeveless Jonh Short (surfer's outfit), he's trying to cover something and probably so that Ana doesn't get annoyed at seeing them shirtless, Justin forgets this detail and goes shirtless, Ana is warming up and notices that Justin is only in his shorts, she covertly notices Justin's physique, and thinks:

(Wow, how can they have such a well-defined physique, I'm still 16, well I don't have anything defined here, I'd better stay training in the equipment).

Luke ends up poking Justin, and pointing at him without a shirt, Ana being nearby, Justin then decides to put on a tank top as well, he really forgot that detail, Ana realizes that he has changed and makes a disappointed face, but she already understood that it was probably because of her, Mr. Han asks Ana to bring some clothes as well. Han asks Ana to bring some swimming clothes for the pool, it's also good for her to do some exercises that will improve her concentration and endurance, Ana says she'll provide something, for today she'll just stick to the equipment, in fact try it because they end up drawing attention to how good they are at swimming, and yes they decide to compete with each other for a change.

"We'll time ourselves, whoever does the best time today wins, we'll do four laps in the pool, just to warm up."

Justin is very good at swimming, but Luke is always trying to be better, so it's a constant competition. But for today it was Justin who won, he had the best time today. Luke punches the water, he doesn't like losing, so he asks for a rematch, and again he loses, he doesn't seem to be totally focused, he just seems to want to show off to someone.

"Give it up for today Luke, it's not your day."

Luke retorts, a little annoyed:

"Don't stuff it up, Justin."

Justin retorts:

"Wow, you're sour, huh. I'll talk to Ana then."

Justin goes to the edge of the pool and catches Ana's eye. Ana notices that he's waving at him, stops for a while to rest and goes over to the pool and says:

"Hey Justin, how's the water?"

Justin nods yes, and asks if Ana can swim, Ana confirms that she can, and when she says this she pulls him into the pool.

Splashh

"Ahh, Justin.... I didn't bring any other clothes... cof cof...I'll choke you!"

She says this but she's laughing and ends up coughing non-stop, she really wasn't expecting this, Luke seems to get annoyed by Justin's joke, and immediately pushes him and pulls Ana out of the pool, he looks angrily at Justin, while he picks up the towel on the sun lounger table, and covers her with the towel, and asks her to go and change.

"Get changed Ana, sorry for the joke..."

He looks at Justin again, Ana tries to calm Luke down by telling him that it's okay, she wasn't exactly mad about the joke.

"No... It's okay Luke, he was joking..."

Luke retorts:

"Yes, it's a problem, I don't like that kind of joke, you could have hurt yourself, go and change."

Ana goes to change her clothes, there's no point stubbornly pleading with him, and realizes that the atmosphere has closed in for a moment. When she gets there, she remembers that she only brought her uniform, and that she'll have to take the clothes she's wearing home, and remember to bring another set of clothes for training tomorrow. Mr. Han Becker sees the scene, and ends up calling Justin's attention too:

"Justin, be careful with your jokes, don't forget that she's a girl and you're both boys, you could have embarrassed her."

Justin thinks for a moment and then says:

"I know Dad, I'm sorry, I forgot that detail, but let's face it, she didn't think it was bad, she was laughing."

Justin then gives up justifying himself, he thinks they're exaggerating a bit, when he notices that Ana has already changed and is heading back to the Garden, Ana comes back smiling she heard the conversation, so she reassures Mr. Han.

"It was just a joke, Mr. Han, I didn't think it was bad, I probably would have done it to him too, there'll be no turning back. hehe"

And he gives Justin a nice slap on the back, jokingly, while Justin feels a heavy hand on his back, he laughs.

Luke is sitting on the bench in the garden and sees Ana, so he gets up and takes her by the hand and drags her to his room, Ana doesn't understand, she even tries to say something, but there's no time, they arrive in Luke's room, and he pulls her into the bathroom, he tries to be gentle in his own way, she takes the hairdryer and asks him to dry it:

"Oh, you don't have to dry it, my hair will be dry in a minute... I still have magic training to do... and then I'm going to have a shower..."

Luke just says:

"Then at least dry it with a towel."

Ana has already understood that there's no point in getting into an argument over this, and dries her hair a little with the towel, thus ending a possible argument, while Luke goes to his desk, he's typing something on the computer, and putting together some graphs. Ana notices that he's concentrating, so she quickly dries her hair and as she walks out the door of Luke's room, she says goodbye:

"I've dried my hair, thank you, I'm going down to 2nd training, see you tomorrow."

She notices a silence, which is soon interrupted by Luke's question:

"Are you wet?"

Ana doesn't understand and asks:

"What do you mean? Wet?"

Luke sighs and replies:

"Your underwear Ana."

Ana understands that he's referring to her underwear. She turns red for a moment, but replies:

"Oh yeah, I always carry a spare in my backpack...hehe...I'm going."

Luke remains focused and says goodbye:

"Okay then, see you tomorrow."

Ana is very embarrassed, and quickly goes down to the garden to practice her skills with Mr. Han, another 2 hours pass, Ana looks exhausted already, she goes home, and when she gets home she looks in her closet and notices that there are only 2 bikinis, she doesn't have any May, she doesn't feel comfortable going in a bikini, there's no way she would go like that, she decides to ask her Mother to go to the Mall to buy some, her Mother agrees and they go to the Mall.
