Theoretical Dolphin Kick!

"Achoo!"

We all looked at Haru.

"That was loud" Makoto pointed out.

"My late grandma used to say that you sneeze when someone else is talking about you." Haru said.

I handed Haru some tissues and he took one.

"It must be Rin!" Nagisa said.

"No, I'm pretty sure he's just sick" Makoto told him. "It's because you were swimming in the pool in April."

I nodded in agreement. I was tired so I leaned my head onto Haru's shoulder.

"I'm not a baby that gets sick from swimmin- Achoo!" Haru's body moved a bit because of it, making me sit back up. Haru noticed that I moved. "Sorry" He apologized.

"It's too early for swimming in outdoor pools." I lectured him.

"We'll just have to work out until it's warmer." Makoto also agreed.

"Oh, I heard from Gou that Rin joined the Samezuka swim team."

"Good for him I guess" I said, not really intrested. I layed my head back on Haru's shoulder.

"This means we might run into him in a tournament" Makoto stated.

"Yep, we should enter tournaments!Then we could do relays again." Nagisa said excitedly.

"I only swim freestyle"

"Does that mean you can't swim relays? Don't say that! Come on..."

"Besides, we can't swim a relay with three people."

"That's true." Makoto said

"Which means...We have to find one more member?!" Nagisa stood up and put his hands on the side of his head in distress.

I walked into the art club and sat in my seat. Satoru came up to me.

"Airi? You're still apart of our club?"

"Haha very funny. I'm sorry I've been neglecting the art club but it's hard balancing 2 clubs. The swim club needs me a lot right now. But since the pool is still cold, there's not much I can do so I'll be here more often now." I explained.

"Yeah, don't worry about it. Let me fill you in on what's going on, we were asked to paint a mural for the school and I want to ask for your help. You're one of our talented ones. We'll take care of the basic sketch but once we start finishing up, I'll like you to help out with the details. Can you do that? For now we're just trying to come up with an idea for the mural."

"Yeah I can do that, you can count on me!"

Satoru nodded and made his way over to his group. I went to my fellow group of artists and started coming up to them.

After the end of art club, I came up with an idea of the tree of life. The bark would be the school and the leaves will be the clubs/organizations. The branches connecting then means we're all united. I submitted my idea to Satoru.

"No luck. He wouldn't say yes." Nagisa sulked.

"Who?" I was confused since I didn't meet with them yesterday.

"Ryuugazaki Rei, he's on the track team. I don't think Rei likes water."

"We don't need anyone like that. Don't let him in the water." Haru said, sounding a bit annoyed.

"With that attitude, nobody will join!" Nagisa yelled. "We'll have to spend all winter lifting weights and jogging! Are you okay with that, Haru? Are you really okay with that?"
