"Wow Kaiyo you beat Haru by one second that's amazing! He's really picking up the pace now isn't he!?" Mako chuckled blushing looking me up and down.
"I should've let him have it too!" I replied shrugging my shoulders.
"Nah you deserve it, you get better and better every time I see you race" he said waving his hand at me.
"You guys do to! I'm so proud of you all! Especially you Makoto you really know how to pull through at the end"
He turned bright red and bit his bottom lip.
"Wow gee thanks so much Kaiyo that really means a lot coming from you"
I smiled and we finally entered the top of the building where their newly cleaned pool sat. It was shimmering as the sun beamed down on it. But little cherry blossoms floated around in it making it even more prettier than before.
"Awe man! Those were suppose to fall tomorrow!" Makoto shouted waving his hands above his head.
"No it's perfect, come on!" I said grabbing his hand and pulling him into the water.
He yelled and splashed in with me. I chuckled as he came up from the water pushing his wet hair back smiling at me. It was a little chilly but I pushed all the blossoms out of my way as I swam around in them embracing the heavenly smell.
"I missed swimming with you" he mumbled.
I turned to him titling my head. I felt the burning in my chest and I didn't realize I had hot tears rolling down my cheeks.
"W-what's wrong?" He asked swimming over to me grabbing my shoulders looking me up and down making sure nothing bad happened to me as if I was injured.
I shook my head and squinted my eyes at him smiling through the pain.
"I just didn't realize how much I missed you" I sobbed standing there straight as a board.
He gasped and wrapped his arms around me as we floated down to the bottom. I held my breathe wrapping my own arms around him. Bubbles floated from my nostrils as his body heat warmed me up.
We came back up for air and my cheeks were stained red from the crying. He lifted my chin and looked me in the eye.
"You good now?" He asked.
"I'm okay thank you" I sighed rubbing my arms.
We climbed out of the pool as the sun began to set. The sky turning bright pink and orange. He wrapped a towel around me and smiled kindly. I looked up at him with glossy eyes with my mouth slightly hung.
"I still love you" he muttered lowering his head.
"You loved me?" I asked.
He nodded and blushed.
"I was nervous to tell you, I didn't want to let you go but I guess that's just how things worked out. I tried to fight for you but you look so happy with Rin and I only care for your happiness"
Tears began to run down my cheeks once again. I shook my head and started to breathe heavy with confusion and anger.
"Why didn't you do it?" I asked. "Why didn't you fight harder for me then?!"
He stepped back and looked at me with surprise written all over his face.
"I'm sorry I thought it was what you wanted Kai I didn't know. I didn't want to step in the way" he sighed.
I closed my eyes and shook my head. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders as I felt his chest rise up and down again making me feel relaxed. He lifted up my chin and pressed his lips on mine. I couldn't help but fall into it. My towel fell on the ground as I rested my hands on his toned chest. He wrapped his arms around my waist deepening the kiss. I let go and looked at the floor feeling the tears hit my feet.
"I still think about you all the time Kaiyo, every time I see you I just break into pieces because I want to be the one holding your hand and I want to be the one cradling you when you cry but I can't because I was stupid enough to ruin that between us" he said with so much passion it was pouring out of him.
"Don't tell Rin" I mumbled walking away from him.
"Tell him what?"
"Exactly" I replied coldly closing the door behind me with my eyes shaded in shame.
How could I do this to both of them. I'm disgusting and I hate myself for doing them wrong. I scoffed and started to run home throwing my long shirt over me. I gasped when I saw Rin at the foot steps with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
I wiped away my tears and smiled at him kindly.
"Hi I got you these" he blushed smirking a bit handing them to me.
"I love you" I said unexpectedly.
He looked at me and pecked my lips lightly.
"I love you too Kaiyo"
We walked into my house sitting down to eat a little dinner that I made before I left to go hang out with Makoto. I shook my head from the thought of betraying my boyfriend because I would never do that and I did and I've never regretted something like that so much in my life. How could I do that to someone like Rin. If he ever found out that I did hell would be paid and he would think it was Makoto's idea even though we were both apart of it.
"I need to go get the mail I'll be right back" I smiled excusing myself and walking towards my mail box.
I grabbed all the letters and I saw one written to me. I tilted my head in confusion and opened it as I entered the house.
"Hey what is it?" Rin asked as tears filled my eyes.
I fell to the ground and giggled a little at the letter. I was so speechless.
"Hey hey are you okay Kai? Hello earth to Kai?!" He said waving his hand in front of my face.
"I got into the Olympics school in Australia" I said looking back up at him.
