After school Makoto and Haru leads me to a door. When they open it they pull me in and the first thing I see is a pool.

I can already feel myself diving in. The water hugging me tight, protecting me from the outside world.

I can already feel my (H/C) hair flouting weightlessly around me. I then hear someone. At first its faint but it grows louder and louder.

(Y/N)? (Y/N)?

It sounds like Haru...

I could feel myself then being pulled out of the water by his voice. Soon I was out of my safe water wonderland and back into the cold, cruel world we all call reality.

...Home...?

No...Not my home...The water is my home...

"Yes...?" I ask, looking away from the pool and towards Haru. Some other boys are there, too...

All of them where looking at me...

"You zoned out. Are you okay?" He asks.

"I'm fine... Sorry..." I reply. 

"It's fine," He says, then continues, "This is the swim club," He gestures to the other boys.

"Nice to meet you..." I say and bow toward them.

"Nice to meet you, too!" They all say in unison. Wow...

Then a red haired girl walked in.

"Gou!" Mokoto yells over to her. "This is (Y/N)!"

"Call me Kou!... And hi!" She says waving to me. I wave back.

They introduce me to all of the swim club.

Rei, Nagisa, Kou, And of course Haru and Mokoto.

"So... Could I join the swim club?" I ask.

"Sure! Show us what you got!" Gou- I mean 'Kou', says cheerfully.

"Okay. I just have to change," I say, walking to the changing room.

I change, Due to today I didn't wear my swimsuit under my clothes.

I walk out and jump into the pool. 

The coolness of the water on my skin... How I missed the water.

I swim as fast as I can, wanting to show them my best. 

As I reach other other side of the pool, I flip around and head back, full speed. 

When I get back to where I started I climb out, panting.

"Wow! So fast!" The blond boy named Nagisa says in awe.

"Thanks..." I say shyly.

"Your in!" Kou announces. 

I mentally cheer as everyone else pats me on the back and welcomes me.

Me and Haru then head back home. When we get there I make Haru some mackerel and then head to bed. This was a good day...

I lay down and slowly drift to sleep, only to be waken up by my alarm as the sun raises.   

It all started with a pair of goggles...Where stories live. Discover now
