As I dive smoothly into the water, it barely splashes, cherry blossom petal falling into the sweet water.
I slowly open my eyes. A dream? I walk to the kitchen, taking out my mackerel. I put on my apron, turning up the burner, putting the fish on it. All I do is stand there, watching the fish cook, thinking about water. I need a bath... But I had one yesterday. Whatever. I hurry and eat my mackerel. I put on my bathing suit, black with purple lining. It's getting too small. I step into the tub, feeling the cold water grow onto my skin. I pull myself under, smiling a bit. The fresh water soothing my face. I should get to school. I walk out of the tub and grab a small hand towel to dry my hair. I put on my uniform and head to school. Hopefully the swim club started up like the school board said it would last time. I walk into my class room. The teacher stands at her desk, greeting students as they walk in. "Okay, class. Take your seats, I'll be taking attendance." She reads down the list. "Is Ms. Nanese here?" Ms? I thought. I raised my hand slowly. "I'm a mister." Everyone laughed, the teacher was also fighting the urge to burst into laughter. "Hey! Don't make fun of him!" Someone said from across the room. I slowly looked back. Hmm? "Hush, Nagisa. Class has started."
After class, Nagisa approached me. "I'm Nagisa!" His voice was.. cute. What am I saying? I nodded. "Haruka, but please, call me Haru." He nodded. His smile filling my heart with joy. He's so adorable.. Nagisa waved someone over to us. "Makoto!" A tall brown haired, green eyed guy walked our way. "This is Haruka! But he'd like to be called Haru. He has a girl name too!" Makoto laughed. Green eyes. "Nice to meet you, Haru." He smiled. I looked away and smiled. "Yep, you too." He giggled.
I went home and went to bed after school. Thoughts ran through my mind. Makoto's eyes.. are beautiful. His smile makes me want to smile. He's out of my league... Haha. I look at my shoes. Should I go on a walk? I grab my shoes a slip them on. I open the door, and right in front of me, I see the green eyed boy. "M-Makoto?" He looks back. "Haru?" Oh man, am I sweating? "Hey, Haru. Wanna take a walk with me?" I nod slowly, trying not to seem desperate. He starts to walk, I do the same. "So, what's your favorite subject in school?" I think for a second. "I don't have one." I reply. "You like to swim?" He asks. "Yes, I love it." He looks at me seriously. "I'll only swim if you swim, Haru." My eyes shimmer at those seven words. "Really?! Makoto, you don't have to.." He glares at me. "I mean it." I try to stay calm, making sure my breathing is even. "Okay, I'll join the swim club." Makoto hugs me. I blush. "Yay! Haru, you'll have a lot of fun!" He let's go of me. "I only swim free, or I don't swim at all."
