Rin:
I don't know why I have to go in the water in the first place. It's wet and cold. I huff and make the glass foggy inside my mothers car as I stare out thinking about my unbidden boom. What could happen that would mean I wouldn't have to swim? Be sick? Throw a fit? Become possessed by Satan?! NO! Pull yourself together what are you thinking? Do you even know what possession is? I don't know. I won't know anyone at the swimming pool either, I don't even know if they will be nice to me or not.

Finally we pull up to a colourfully painted pool with the words "Iwatobi swim club" painted in big letters. This is stupid. I don't move when my mom stops the car. I won't go. My mother gives me a stern look, then one of disgust when I don't move a second time. Letting out a loud breath she gets out and pulls my door open, giving me another stern look, but no words. She leans over and unbuckled my seat and starts to pull me by the arm, telling me to get out. I sigh, roll my eyes and get out. Now I'm grumpy, thanks mom. My stuff was placed neatly in my hand and a sweet kiss landed on my cheek. She was basically saying good luck to me, trying to make me feel better, it wasn't working.

I push the handicap button with a wheeze (I can't open that big door with my small arms) and walk it without making eye contact with the thin lady behind the desk who was looking at me as I passed by. I stumbled around the building for a short while before I finally found the boys change room. It was right around the first corner, and had totally missed it the first time. I hoped there was no one in there as I started to tug on the handle. Before I could get the whole door ajar another, taller boy, pulled it open all the way for me. I looked up slightly to see his bright blue eyes staring down at me, my heart fluttered in my chest as he beamed a big smile.

"HARU CHANNN!" A whiny voice called out from behind him. His attention was torn away from me and toward the voice. An even bigger smile broke across his face as he saw another boy with flaxen hair run toward him. I knew he wasn't going to end up talking to me so I slipped into the change room without him noticing. I hesitated when I saw the change room, it was covered in cartoon pictures of sea animals and lots of different colours were splashed across different walls. I did not want to interact with anyone at the moment, so I quickly scowerd the change room for a quiet spot to change. I found a corner by the changing stalls and a terrifying dolphin mural to my right, I shivered at the painting and started to take my pants off when I heard the voice of the blue eyed boy, along with 2 other unknown voices.

I froze for a moment hoping they would forget about me. I was struggling to get my swim suite out of my bag when it suddenly plummeted to the floor and hit the tiled ground with a loud thump. My heart raced, as the talking stopped for a few moments, then foot steps came close to me. 3 taller boys turned the corner and looked at me with straight faces. I blushed hard, as i was only in my underwear. There was a moment of silence before the blue eyed boy -who has such nice, smooth black hair- walked silently toward my bag, gingerly picked it up, and sat it back down on the bench. He bent down a second time to retrieve my swim shorts, goggles and cap and held them in front of me. I blushed even harder and my heart beat fast as I took them back from him. I kept my head down as they kept looking at me.

"Well....." The fair haired boy started, his face turning a little pink.

"I'm Nagisa..this is Haru, and Makoto." He pointed to Haru then a boy to his right with glowing hazel nut hair. No other words were spoken, I just waved with a meek smile. The awkward silence fell upon the group like a cloud falls over a merky lake on cold morning, once again. Nagisa smiled big and started to walk back around to where he was getting changed, Haru and Makoto followed with small smiles. I be careful not to drop my bag again as I finish pulling on my swim shorts. They were new, mom bought them online for me a month ago when she said I was staring swim club. They went all the way down to my ankles, and where red with a single black stripe running down the side.

Shyly, I walk out the glass door onto the Pool deck. The deck was small but the pool was big. Blue and while tiles were plastered all over the ground and the inside of the pool. The walls were white and big windows stretched over 3 of the 4 walls. Cherry blossoms were visible through the windows. I spot a man with blonde hair standing off to the side with a clip board in his hand. Before I could call out to him Haru, Nagisa and Makoto came up behind me and started to walk toward the man, I didn't know what else to do but follow suite.I walked aimlessly behind them as they walked toward the fair man with the clipboard.

"Coach!" They all out in unison. His bold body flinched as if he was startled, his face lit up with glee when he turned around and saw us standing in front of him. Other children began to trickle out of the change rooms at this point and the coach tore his attention off us and onto the task of getting one everyone gatherd. Once again I flollowed them and sat down, as instructed by the coach.

"Before we get into warm up i have some news." A few murmurs come over the small crowd. My throat clenched as I knew what he was going to do.

"As some of you may know we have a new swimmer joining us today." I cringe as he says the words, and look up at him. A smile is blasted across his face, like his only child just graduated or something. He reached a young hand out toward me, as to guide me up toward him. Slowly I get up and walk about two steps to him and look at the small group of kids who sat before me.

"What is your name?" He asks with another big smile. I swallow hard and look at the eager faces of them, wanting to know who I was. I cleared my throat and looked down right at Haru and, in a soft voice I answered. "Rin."
