It was the weekend, and as I finished preparing my modest breakfast, I couldn't help but think about the need to find someone to teach me how to cook. It's not that my food was bad, but I was limited to preparing simple dishes I found online. I wanted to expand my culinary repertoire and add more variety to my cooking. Of course, I had enough points to avoid cooking for the rest of my time at school, but improving my cooking skills could be quite useful.

While finishing washing the dishes, I pondered on what to do today. I could spend the day in my room, hang out with the Ayanokouji group, or go to the library, where I was sure to find Hiyori. As I contemplated my options, my phone started ringing. I checked to see who it was, and it was Shibata. After seeing the caller, I answered the call.

Shibata: Hey, Ayanokouji, you're free now, right? - he asked, assuming I had nothing else to do. Well, he's not wrong; I don't have plans right now.

Ayanokouji: Yes, I'm free at the moment. - I replied.

Shibata: Great, my man! Let me tell you, your boring weekend is over because you're joining us to go to the pool - he said with enthusiasm.

Ayanokouji: The pool?

Shibata: Yes, the pool. Almost the entire class is going since we all need a break after those two special exams. The whole class agreed to go to the pool today, and that's why I called you. What do you say? - he said. I see, I suppose most of them were stressed, and now they want to relax. Well, since almost everyone is going, I guess I'll join as well. Not like I have anything else to do.

Ayanokouji: I see. Then I'll join you guys.

Shibata: Good thing you agreed right away, or else I'd have to go with Kanzaki and drag her out of her room - he said. It seems like you didn't have many options other than accepting. We'll leave at 10, don't be late - he told me before hanging up.

Well, I guess I have plans now. I check the time, and it's 7:30; I still have time, so I'll prepare the basics and then read the book Hiyori recommended.

As I leave my room, I glance at the clock; it's 9:45. I take the elevator, patiently waiting for it to descend while listening to a familiar and soothing piece of music: "Swan Lake," composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Opus 20. I quite enjoy this piece. It's a pinnacle of classical theater and one of the most recognized compositions by the Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Composed between 1875 and 1876, it has been influenced by composers like Beethoven and Mendelssohn, as well as other artists from the 19th century. The modern orchestration, combined with Tchaikovsky's unique interpretation, has made "Swan Lake" known and appreciated to this day. This piece masterfully captures deep human emotions through its poetic and emotionally stimulating melody, making it highly relevant for today's audience.

Lost in the music, I hadn't noticed that the elevator had already descended. I calmly exit, and to my right, someone calls my name.

Shibata: Ayanokouji, you're the last one to arrive. What took you so long? - he asks.

Amikura: You're silly, Shibata-kun. Yesterday we said we'd meet at 10, and there are still 10 minutes left until the agreed time. Ayanokouji-kun arrived early - she says.

Shibata: Ah, I guess you're right. Sorry, Ayanokouji. I'm just excited - he says with a smile.

Amikura: Excited? Don't tell me you're excited to see us in swimsuits. Are you a pervert, Shibata-kun? - says Amikura, covering her chest with both hands. Although by her tone and smile, it's clear she's teasing Shibata.

Shibata: N-no, that's not true. I just want to swim and have fun with everyone - he says, stuttering.

Amikura: Sure, that's it. Then why are you nervous? - she asks with a mischievous smile.
