Yuki left two days ago, now the house next to me was empty and I was kinda sad. Even though we fought, she was still nice in the end and that's all that counts.

"(F/N) what did I just say?" I jumped and looked up to see my teacher standing by the chalk board.

"You.. Umm. You said that the answer was 7?" I answered in confusion and she sighed.

"Pay attention please." She turned around and the bell rang.

I sat up and started putting my stuff away when I felt someone pat my head. I looked up to see Makoto.

"Ready for practice?" I asked as I stood up with my things.

"Yeah let's go." He grabbed my hand and we walked down to the pool together.

As we approached the pool we saw Kou hanging up a countdown.

"(F/N)! MAKOTO! YOU'RE LATE!" Kou pointed at us and dragged us to the pool.

"But we got here as fast as we could." I spoke in our defense.

"Look at that countdown! Prelims will be here soon! We all need to train hard! So get going!" Kou she ripped one of the numbers off and smiled.

Makoto sighed and went to the locker room to change while I went to the girls locker room.

When I was done changing Kou came in to tell me what events I was doing.

"So (F/N), since you're the only girl on the team I can't sign you up for the relay but I put you in all the other events." She flipped through her clip board as she spoke.

"Wait. Kou. Did you sign me up for backstroke?" I stopped and looked at her.

"Yeah, why?" She tilted her head like a confused dog.

"KOU!! I NEVER SWIM BACKSTROKE BECAUSE I HAVE TROUBLE WITH IT!" Her eyes widened and she started laughing nervously.

(In chapter one it talks about (F/N) being bad at backstroke.)

"Well..... Nows the time to learn!" She quickly ran outside before I could kill her and I sighed.

I guess I'll try swimming backstroke today.

When I walked outside I saw all the boys in the pool already and I dove into the lane between Makoto and Haru.

I got in position on the wall to start the stroke when Makoto caught my attention.

"(F/N)!! Are you swimming backstroke?!?!" An excited look spread across his face and I nodded.

"Kou signed me up for a backstroke event in prelims....... But I have trouble with backstroke so I'm gonna focus a lot on it now." A worried look found its way to my face.

"Well I can coach you!" He swam into my lane and I got off the wall.

"Really?!?!" He nodded and I hugged him, "THANK YOU!!"

He giggled, "ok let's start with the basics of it. First, I'll have you float on your back."

I did as told and let my stomach rise to the surface along with my legs.

"Do you mind if I touch your stomach?" He asked cautiously.

I laughed and a slight blush appeared across his face, "Mako, we've been dating for almost a year now. I don't care if you touch my stomach."

He blushed even more, "well back on topic," he said trying to not stutter. He placed his hand across my stomach and one on my back. He moved my back up a little bit, "make sure you always have your back arched a little and keep your body totally balanced as you swim."

I nodded and he let go. I slowly swam a bit and it seemed to be working well.

After another half hour of learning, Makotos phone rang and he jumped out of the pool.

"Oh I have to go work at the club! I'll see you guys later." He grabbed his bag and left.

I wish I could go with him.

After practice ended, as I walked home I stopped at an ice cream place and got some for the walk home.

When I reached my house I got the mail and saw a letter from an unusual address.

I quickly finished my ice cream and sat down at my dining table as I opened the letter.

Dear (F/N),

It's me Yuki! I wanted to know if you wanted to be pen pals. I know I just left but I wanted to contact you. I talked to my dad and I think him and I are slowly becoming closer. I wanted to thank you for everything. How's Makoto? How's the swim club? And maybe I'll be able to visit in the summer before everyone goes to college! Well, I hope you get his letter and respond!

From,

Yamada Yuki.

I smiled, she was so sweet once you got past her bitch phase. I quickly grabbed a letter and wrote back. As I finished writing I went outside and mailed it.

I looked up at the stars and smiled.

Life is good.
