Mona hadn't turned up to swimming practise for a while and the races were coming up.
Kokomi was stoked and prepared to win.
She grinned as the students of the school flooded into the areas by the poolside.

Y/n sat with Lumine and Aether for the swimming trial.
Then her phone buzzed in her bag.

She pulled it- in all it's shiny sparkly cased-glory out.

Hu Tao
OMG. I've been taking time off school to work on the preparations for Barbara's funeral and guess what?

Y/n
What?

Hu Tao
I stumbled across a certain someone.

Y/n
U don't mean?...

Hu Tao
A little blue-haired girl sticking half out of one of the large bins on the 54th alleyway... YES I mean it.

I'm kind of still texting u from here. I have no idea what to do.

Y/n
Take her away to the hospital maybe? Or home? Idk.

Hu Tao
Ehe~ no prob. I'm texting Zhongli right now.

Y/n
But we are at the swimming trials.

Hu Tao
No worries! He won't want to miss watching his buddies swim.

P.S Wish ur gal-Kokomi- good luck!

xxx (ppl tell me to put these at the end.)

Y/n laughed and placed her phone back into her bag- her world was suddenly brighter.

Aether leaned over, "hey Y/n. What's up?"

"Ganyu's been found!" She grinned.

Lumine mirrored her smile, "that's great!"

Then a whistle sounded and a group of girl stepped up to the diving blocks.

Lumine beamed, "five bucks on Kokomi!"

Aether sighed and rested his chin in his palm, "we all know she's going to win anyway."

Y/n smiled and glanced back at the pool where they had just dived in.

Before diving, Kokomi had spotted Mona.

"Hey. You didn't turn up to practises." Kokomi waved at her.

Mona sighed, "I didn't feel well and I don't know if I'll be able to beat you or any of the others- but I'd still like to try." She curled her pigtails into buns and tied them, "bring it on."

They swum.
Kokomi's arms moving long and gracefully as she pulled ahead of the pack. (Which was expected from the reigning champion.)
Mona though, slashed at the water. Her limbs moving at a rapid pace to catch up.

The emcee- a navy-haired boy called Xingqiu- gasped dramatically. "And! The underdog, Mona Megistus from lane four, pulls in front of our reigning champ- Sangonomiya Kokomi in lane two!"

Finally... it was getting more exciting

"Oh, it seems Kokomi is out to keep her place. She swiftly swims in front of Mona- now coming in first again."

It went on like that until the final metres. Then Xingqiu grinned, "it seems that this will be a close match. Who will win?"

And... Mona touched the wall first.

The swimmers climbed from the pool and Mona squealed and jumped around in delight.

Other swimmers were murmuring to Kokomi, 'did you throw it?'
She shook her head and turned to Mona.

"Mona Megistus! It seems you have beaten me. How did you do it?"

Mona laughed, "I don't know!" She spun around.

Then Kokomi went to find Xingqiu and asked to borrow the mic.

"I don't know how she won! She hasn't come to training and she even admitted she wasn't physically able! Even if I didn't win, somebody else should have! Mona is slacking off and she won- I don't-" She sighed and continued, "may I ask whether she has been using performance enhancing drugs?!"

People gasped and excitement rippled through the students- drama was exactly what everyone wanted.

Lumine grinned like a shark, "this is where it gets interesting."

Kokomi continued to babble into the mic before a coach took it away from her murmuring softly.

Coaches gathered Kokomi and Mona to chat and everything continued.

The boys' swimming was a lot more civilised. (For once.)

Childe won by a landslide and everyone accepted his well-deserved victory.

All the winners from the age groups got a photo together. Mona was in the photo since she won fair and square and Childe still had bruises on his face and exposed upper body, (he still was handsome though) from his fight with Scara.

Lumine grabbed her phone and took a picture of Kokomi's scowling face, "sourpuss."

Aether and Y/n turned to one another and laughed awkwardly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The classes began for the day and Y/n ran into Kokomi in the hall.

Kokomi was sullen.

"Hey? Kokomi, are you okay?"

She nodded slightly, "yes. But I didn't realise how much I wanted that win until I lost..."

Y/n hugged Kokomi and left for Literature.

Kokomi watched Y/n go- the girl with the beautiful e/c eyes and shiny h/c hair.
She was in awe...
...attracted like a fish to bait.
I love her.
