*Blaise*

I was pacing the living room, looking at the clock then down at my phone every few minutes, feeling worried.

"Blaise she'll be here soon calm down" Rei said softly.

"I don't know...she saw the close to the same thing that happened the day her brother died." I said before freezing. Shit, I just said that to them. I wasn't supposed to say anything.

"Her brother died?" Nagisa asked, looking at me in shock. I sighed and sat on the table in living room.

"Listen, if she knew I told you this she would never forgive me." I told them, looking down.

"We won't tell," Makoto said while the others nodded. I let out a small sigh and looked up.

"Not to long after I moved, she had her last competition. She told me as soon as she swam in a storm had blown in but when she was walking up to the shore her brother ran out to greet her. A wave caught him and unlike me, he was carried him out and she swam out to get him. But before she could reach him, a wave hit again, slamming him into the rocks and she had to dive under because he began to sink. She was able to get him to the shore but sadly he didn't make it. Ever since his death, she hasn't swam competitively and she absolutely hates storms. So her being out in this and after what happened concerns me." I said, tears prickling my eyes.

"Blaise?" a familiar voice said and I whipped around, wiping the tears away from my face.

"Rin?" I ran up to him, grabbing onto his shirt. "Where is Alex" I looked at him in fear.

"She's right here." He said moving over.

"Alex!" the boys yelled in unison but I looked at her strangely

"Whose jacket is that?" I asked, tilting my head to the side.

"It's Rin's" She said blushing slightly and I watched as he looked down at her with a smile.

"Well I have to get back to the school before curfew." He said, getting ready to leave.

"Rin, wait!" She said before unzipping the jacket and handing it to him

"Here I don't want you to be sick" She told him, turning to look away from him.

"Little mermaid, I'll be fine. You keep it" He said pushing her hand back to her chest then he turned and looked at me.

"Bye Blaise, I'll see you at the next practice." He said, holding out his hands. I walked over, giving him a hug.

"Don't be a stranger, you creep." I giggled and he laughed before leaving. I turned back to Alex and saw that she was looking at his jacket. I walked over to her, smirking at her.

"So uh shark boy huh?" I teased and she looked at me, tilting her head.

"What are you talking about?" she asked as a confused look came over her face

"He walked you home and he gave you his jacket" I said, nudging her shoulder. She blushed before she sent me a glare.

"Shut up Otter." She snapped, turning red before looking away.

"Awe!" Nagisa said looking at me.

"We should probably go" Rei said, looking at the time.

"Yea it's almost midnight." Makoto told us.

"Okay, bye guys!" I said, holding the door opened for the guys to leave. Makoto stopped in the doorway and turned to look at me before stepping towards me and giving me a hug. I slowly hugged back, feeling my face turn red.
