—Wow, it's so big ! Shouted Sora Amano while she started in astonishment at the swimming pool. This high school doesn't joke !

—Yeah, I agree.

As promised the day before, Hana accompanied her classmate who wanted to go to the school's indoor pool. Classes had ended two hours later than usual, and if at first the young woman felt a certain reluctance to have to spend another hour here, it was with regret that she thought of the fact that she should have carried her bathing suit, too. No more students were around. She could have taken the opportunity to dip in this ridiculously deserted pool instead of working on her classes...

—Do you think the water is warm? Asked Amano while tying her short hair into two small pigtails on each side of her head.

—According to how hot it is here, probably, said Hana regarding the moist air.

—It's because you're wearing your uniform that you feel that way, the student laughed. Are you sure you don't want to swim too? You could have taught me...

—No way, she flatly declined. I haven't taken my bathing suit. And I have my dissertation to finish, I will go to study in the stands.

As she spoke, Hana pointed to the high row of benches that rose near the entrance of the changing rooms. Her school bag was already waiting for her on one of the seats, in the third row, where she had abandoned it while Amano changed.

—Too bad for you, Hoshino, said her comrade before heading for the small equipment room. Well, I have to admit ...

The little brunette suspended her speech while she was looking for a swimming board, and the skater had to wait a few seconds before getting the last word of her sentence.

—From up there, you'll have plenty of time to get an eyeful of the baseball team, Amano said with a clear look.  Their training isn't over yet... maybe you could even go and say hello to Shirai?

Oh yes, that's right. Hana had almost forgotten why her comrade had dragged her here. It was only a pretext to admire the members of the club through the glass that separated the indoor pool from their playground. Hana's gaze slipped on some unknown faces before finding that of her childhood friend, Kazuya Shirai. The captain seemed to give orders to his comrades, and he was far too busy with them to notice the two students.

—I will not disturb Kazuya now, Hana replied.

—But don't you have notebooks to return? Amano innocently recalled.

—I'll do it tomorrow, she replied, turning to her heels. Concentrate and try not to swallow water.

The lawn in front of the school pool had been converted into a large baseball field so that the club could train. Two teams had been drawn, and regular rotations ensured that everyone would play at every spot at least once, all under the authority of a young coach and an uncompromising captain.
