High school as told by Ariel

snappy

"Amity is looking after him, Ariel" Aaron said.

"ooooooo" I said.

"Didn't dad say not to join the swim team?" Aaron asked.

"what?" I said.

"he said not to join, didn't he" Aaron said.

"he said join the swim team" I said.

"Right, that was probably Adelline" Aaron shook his head, causing his red hair to make a mess of itself.

"Brother, before I forget! these are my swim-mates! Makoto Tachibana and Rin Matsuoka" I introduced.

"Aaron kitsch, Ariel's older brother. Nice meeting you both" Aaron said, placing himself beside me.

"You too, Ariel is really great at swimming" Rin said.

"It runs in the family" Aaron said.

"You look so alike! so that's most of where her genes come from" Makoto said.

"It's from our mother, Athena Kitsch" Aaron said, "we get the hair, facials and swimming traits from her".

I nodded, "Aaron gets the most jealousy out of us two".

"Aurelia!" Aaron whisper yelled, "don't mention that".

"Spill it" I looked at Aaron.

"fine"Aaron said, "Our other sisters don't look like us at all, so we're quite special".

"No kidding" Rin laughed.

"When did this happen?" Aaron asked.

"yesterday, Rin's sister took me out yesterday to go shopping" I said.

"alright" Aaron said.

a little while later..

"Yay! You're back!" Nagisa cheered.

"Samezuka academy is here" Rei said.

"Great, there is Mikoshiba" Rin said.

"Aaron, by the way.. your sister is co-captain" Makoto said.

"WHAT? Aurelia! you have some explaining to do" Aaron said.

'well, this escalated quickly...'

"Tachibana! long time no see,how is captaining your ship going?" Mikoshiba said.

"Great actually, I have a co-captain as well" Makoto said.

Makoto pulled me into his left side.

"A female co-captain?" Mikoshiba asked.

"yeah" Makoto looked at me.

"Mako-chan, help me" I whispered.

"I'm trying" Makoto whispered.

"Bonjour Monsieur! Mon nom est Aurelia" I said, fully in french.

Makoto looked at me with his bright green eyes.

"pardon me, I speak french when i am nervous" I smiled nervously.

"NITORI!" Nagisa ripped me from Makoto's grip.

"Ah, that's uh fine" Mikoshibas' face  went bright red.

"And I'm Aaron, her older brother" Aaron stood up straight, "touch her and I'll kill you".

"Aaron! ce qu'est une chose désagréable à dire! Dire désolé , mon frère" I said to Aaron.

"Je suis plus âgé que vous , soeur. Je peux gérer ma propre bouche" Aaron said.

"Eh bien, si vous pouvez prendre soin de lui être tranquille" I said, "Please excuse him. He likes to think he is the boss".

"Aurelia-" Aaron said.

"Non" I said.

I looked to makoto who's expression changed from surprised to happy/romantic/smiley.

"Seijuro, I see you brought your team with you" makoto quickly gestured to the other team.

"yes, We are having a versus after all" Mikoshiba said.

'VERSUS? WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH!' cue the panic attack.

"yes, it seems......... Ariel you alright?" Rin asked.

"It's just we don't have enough swimmers and-" I said.

"We'll be fine" Makoto said, reassuringly.

'Well, thanks'
