*Blaise*

I was smiling at Alex when I heard someone walk over and I looked up, seeing Makoto walking over, smiling brightly.

"Wonderful job Blaise! Alex, it's your turn!" He told her and I saw Alex nod before heading over to the starting board. She adjusted her goggles before getting into position and Rin did the same, snapping the back of his goggles. Wait, I knew someone that used to do that! It can't be... I was cut out of my thoughts when I heard Sosuke call out to Rin and Alex.

"Ready, set, and go!" Sosuke yelled before blowing the whistle. I never saw her race in a pool before but she was fast, easily overtaking Rin. As soon as she slapped the tile at the end, I ran over to her.

"Good job, Mermaid" I whispered while holding out my hand to her. She was panting but grabbed ahold of my hand, letting me pull her up from the water. I could hear the boys laugh as they came running over.

"Woohoo! Good job Alex, you're fast! So are you Blaise!" Nagisa yelled as he came up hugging me before running to Alex and rubbing her head. I watched in shock as her cap slid slightly from the rubbing, causing her hair to somewhat fall out. I looked over to see Rin and Sosuke stomp over, Rin looking slightly pissed. Rin pushed passed us and reached over, yanking Alex's cap off.

"You're a girl?" he snapped, watching her hair fall out.

"I guess I'm caught." She shrugged, not really caring. I felt some reach over and grab a hold of my cap and yanking it off. My hair came cascading down and I reached up to push my bangs off, looking to see who grabbed my cap.

"So is this one." I heard Sosuke say and I glare at him, yanking my cap out of his grip.

"What? Mad you got beat by a girl?" Alex said, stepping towards Rin.

"No I'm mad because I got beat by a short shit like you!" He said, poking her in the chest.

"Want to say that again, shark boy?" She snapped back. Rin's eyes widen before he glared down at her.

"What the hell did you just call me, runt?" He yelled at her. I froze slightly before trying to run over. I flinched slightly when I felt Sosuke grab ahold of my arm. I tried to struggle away but he had strong grip on me.

"Shark boy." Alex said slower, purposely pissing Rin off more.

"Oh that's it!" He said before stepping in closer.

"Enough! Will you two knock it off and stop fighting?!" I yelled at them and everyone turned to look at me in surprise. I guess I never raise my voice that often. But they need to stop! It's reminds me of....

"She's right, both of you need to stop." Haru said as he walked in-between Alex and Rin.

"And you need to let her go." Makoto said, walking up the Sosuke.

"Fine" Sosuke said, releasing his grip on my arm. I took a few steps back and turned, hearing someone run over.

"Rin, stop being such an ass!" Gou said as she ran over to the group. Oh my god! Rin! That's why he's so familiar. Of course, why didn't I put two and two together earlier!

"Rin?!" I exclaimed and he turned to look at me confused. He looked at me for a moment before his eyes began to widen, realizing who I was.

"Blaise?! Is that really you?" He asked before walking over to me and hugging me tightly.

"Wow! You grew up didn't you? I barely recognize you! Last time I saw you was when you were staying with me for a month before you left for Australia." I giggling slightly.
