Yesterday I competed in the quarter finals in multiple races in swimming for men but I only got qualified in the 50 meters freestyle race and 100 meters race. One of the olympians I competed against in those races was no other than Enzo Buckley. It makes me remember that he talked to me after I qualified in the 100 meters race. He's nicer than I tought but I can't very much let myself think about him since he's rival not someone I should become friends with. Besides, he's as busy as I am. We are in the Olympics to win not to find friends but I can't stop thinking about those intense eye contacts we did yesterday. I can't stop thinking about it but it felt different than the eye contacts I usually do to other people. There is more to it that I wanna know but well... I said it he is Enzo one of the best olympians in the world and he doesn't need friends such as olympians that are not as good as him. I know he's friends with Jessica Smith a swimming woman olympian but that's different. They are both from the same country so it's obvious they understand one and other. I only know how to speak in English because I'm an olympian that competes worldwide. Imagine if I couldn't even say a word in English. My first language is obsiously Spanish since I'm from Spain. My country's favorite sport is not swimming and it's rare to find a Spanish men or woman who manages to go in the Olympics and win medals. I'm no special case. I've never won a medal yet but Enzo is from a country that is very good in swimming and are capable of winning medals. I decide to stop thinking about it since I have to get ready for the semifinals later today. It's been 20 years since there last was a Spanish men that went in the finals in swimming. I want to be the one that will break the record. Wether it is in the 50 meters freestyle race or the 100 meters race I'm going to make sure I will be the one to break the record. I'm concerned that it won't happen because Enzo Buckley is there. He will certainly make the finals and bloke me from having the chance of going in the finals. I'm only gonna wish he won't bloke me.

I'm currently waiting for my name to be announced. I'm slighly nervous because I have to show the world that I will be qualified in the finals even trought I'm a Spanish men. My family will be proud of me because they know how hard it was for me to be in the olympics in the first place but I quickly brush it up because I hear my name. I enter and I smile and wave so my family that are watching me knows I'm thinking about them. About 30 seconds later they announce Enzo's name. I feel chills run trought my spine at first because he is smiling brightly and waving at the camera. I than see that he flashes me a smile with witch I don't how to respond. I give a half smile so he knows I saw him smiling at me. I don't understand why he would smile at me. He should be preoccupied by thinking about the performance he would do. We place each other after the announcers announces everyone's name. Me and Enzo accidentally make eye contact again. Wait.. it totally was on purpose! We jump in the water.

 I manage to arrive 4th. I feel proud of myself as realize I made it to the finals in the 100 meters race. Everyone is cherring for me as they learn I'm the first Spainsh men that is going in the swimming finals in 20 years old. I feel overjoyed, a feeling I never felt in a long time. The other olympians congratulate me including Enzo himself. He finished first as always. They started asking me question in a interwiew about how it felt to be the first Spanish men to go in the swimming finals in 20 years. I was emotional but I managed to answer all of the questions. I later on compete in the 50 meters race but I didn't make it in the finals. It kinda sucks but at least I managed to go in the finals in one of those two races. I facetimed my parents afterwards because I wanted to talk to them. I feel on cloud nine right now. I later went eating dinner with my teamates but I mostly chatted with Esteban as always. I don't know why but Enzo came to see me during I was eating to ask me if he wanted to hang out with him tonight in the lobby for the olympians. I was on cloud nine about going in the finals that I accidentally said yes to him, forgetting that he's my rival. At the same time, I have to admit that I'm starting to find Enzo interesting and I would like to get to know him even trough I shouldn't want to get to know him. Who knows where that might lead?
