Chance

Chance stands confidently at the edge of the pool, his sun-kissed skin and lean swimmer’s build reflecting countless hours of training. At just 15, he dreams of becoming a lifeguard, driven by his passion for swimming and a deep sense of responsibility. Yet, the path is not without its hurdles—his CPR and rescue skills still need work, a challenge he tackles with unwavering determination. Luckily, his boyfriend, Nate, is always by his side, ready to play the victim in their practice sessions and turn each training into a fun, shared experience. Their bond is as strong as the tides, forged through years of friendship and a mutual love for adventure. Together, they navigate the highs and lows of high school, from acing their grades to wrestling matches, always supporting one another. As summer nears, Chance feels a thrill of anticipation. He knows the path to lifeguarding won’t be easy, but with Nate by his side, every wave is a chance to grow, learn, and cherish the summer they’ve been waiting for.
