*beep beep* I sat up in my bed and shut off the alarm. I'm so nervous. I'll have to confess to Haru tomorrow. I tried to shrug of that thought to keep myself calm. The thought disappeared and another thought popped up. Oh yeah. I have swim practice today. I'll have to pack my swim stuff. I'm sure Haru hasn't forgotten about it. I hopped out of bed and started packing my stuff before heading down to eat breakfast.
- Good morning Makoto.
- Morning mom.
- Did you sleep well?
- Yeah.
That was actually true. I dreamed about Haru all night and that makes me feel comfortable.
I finished my breakfast and headed up to my room to change clothes. I then headed down to put on my shoes and jacket. An easy morning. Just when I said that I opened the door and was pleasantly surprised. It was snowing. Whoa! So pretty~ But I guess we won't be able to eat lunch at the roof today then. It was really hot on the roof 'cause there was a huge heat fan(?) there so we could eat there even if it was in the middle of winter. Speaking of lunch, wasn't there something I was supposed to do then? I remembered the letter I had gotten the day before. It said that someone wanted to meet me by the tree behind school at lunch. I really do wonder what that letter is about. I was feeling a bit nervous, but at the same time I was looking forward to meeting that person.
I stepped outside and shut the door after me. It was a bit windy but it felt nice combined with the snow. Luckily, the sun was out so it wasn't that cold. I then walked up to Haru's house and knocked on the door.
- Haru!
Hm. No answer. I guess he's in the tub as usual. I walked around the house to the back entrance and walked inside. I found my way to the bathroom and went inside. Ah. There he is. I walked up to the tub and reached out my hand to him.
- Good morning, Haru-chan.
Haru reached for my hand and i pulled him up.
- Drop the -chan.
When he stepped out I was amazed. His body looked different. He had gotten more muscles. Whoa, he looks extremely hot. I quickly shook that thought away as to not get a boner in front of him. After drying himself, Haru walked into the kitchen.
- Haru? What are you doing?
- Making me some mackerel.
- We are going to be late for school.
- Then come and get me sooner.
- Yeah, yeah.
I then sighed out loud as I was waiting for Haru to get ready.
After 10 minutes we were off to school.
As we walked, I noticed that Haru was staring at the ground intensely.
- Why are you looking at the ground?
I didn't get a respond from him. I then realized that he was looking at the snow. Oh yeah. Snow is frozen water. Haru loves water so much. He's so cute. I bet he wants to take off his clothes and lay down in the snow.
After walking in silence for a while we reached the school. We went inside and walked to our classroom. As soon as we sat down, class started. During the whole time our teacher was talking I was staring at Haru who was staring out the window. He didn't seen to notice me so I just kept staring to my hearts content. Before I knew it, class was over. Only one more class till lunch. We had a 5 minute break before the next class would start so I played some games on my phone. During our break times, Haru usually sketches in his book. He doesn't like to talk when he draws so I always end up sitting with my phone. After the 5 minutes had passed our teacher came in and class started again.
Once classes were over I went over to Haru.
- Haru?
- Hm?
- I won't be eating lunch with you today. I have something to do.
Haru gave me a suspicious look and I kinda felt nervous.
- K. I'll eat with Nagisa and Rei.
- Ok. See you when class starts.
- M.
I left the room feeling a little sad that I had to leave Haru. I always want to stay beside him.
I walked out to the entrance and went out to the tree. When I looked up there was a girl standing there. I think I've seen her before. Isn't she from class 3? I walked up to her and she noticed me.
- Hi. Were you the one that gave me that letter?
- Um, yes.
She sounded very nervous.
- So what did you want to tell me?
I gave her a smile so that she hopefully wouldn't be so nervous.
- Uhm. I-it's just, err.
- Hm?
- I um, l-like you!
Eh?! She likes me? Oh god. But I like Haru. What do I tell her?
- Ehm. T-thank you but ehm, I kinda like someone else.
I smiled at her apologetically. I feel so bad for her.
- O-oh. T-that's ok. Never mind then.
She turned around and walked away. I could just feel my heart sink. I'm so sorry. But I love Haru.
I walked back to the classroom and sat down at my desk. There were only a few people in there eating their lunch. I didn't want to eat anything. I felt terrible for breaking that girl's heart. After feeling depressed for a few minutes, Haru walked back into the classroom. But I didn't look at him. I was too sad.
School was finally out. Everybody were wishing each other a happy new year. Haru and I walked to Nagisa's and Rei's classroom to pick them up for swim practice.
- There they are Rei-chan!
Nagisa happily waved at us but I didn't smile back at him like I usually do.
- Hm? Is something wrong Mako-chan? You look sad.
- No nothing's wrong. I'm just a little tired, that's all.
I gave him a fake smile to get him off my case.
We then walked to the train station to get to Samezuka Academy. We swim in their indoor pool during winter since our school only has an outdoor pool.
After a while we arrived at Samezuka's. Haru was very eager to get to swim so he walked in front of us all. We went inside the changing rooms and changed to our swim wear. Haru was the first one to get done changing as he only had to take off his clothes since he always wore his swimming trunks underneath. When I was all done changing I walked towards the pool. As soon as I took my eyes off of the ground, I saw Haru swimming in the pool. It was a refreshing sight to see him swimming so peacefully. It made me totally forget everything that had happened today. It made me so happy too see the person I loved so much doing the thing he loves the most.
- Haru-chan looks like a dolphin when he swims. He looks so happy.
Nagisa interrupted my daydreaming.
- Yeah. He does.
I smiled as I watched my love gracefully piercing the surface of the water. He just looked absolutely beautiful.
