"The water is alive. That thought always went through my mind in the past. The water really is alive. No matter how much your body grows and changes, it envelops you just the same, as if it were a living thing. But..For how long? There was also one other thing I used to think a lot about." A boy with straight black hair and ocean blue eyes thought to himself as he swam in the water. His swimming was so smooth and perfect. Nanase Haruka, the swimming freak.

"If I'm a prodigy at ten, and a genius at fifteen, after twenty I'll be.."

His thoughts were cut of when he saw a very familiar hand that was stretched in front of him, hinting him to get out of the pool.

Haruka looked up and saw his two best friends, Tachibana Makoto and (Last Name) (First Name).

"Makoto, (Name)..."

"Morning, Haru-chan." The two say together.

Instead of replying he grabbed onto Makoto's hand, only to push him into the pool. Haruka grabbed your swimsuit and pushed you in as well.

"Hey! Not nice, Haru..."

"Haru!"

"You two are here to swim, aren't you?" Haruka questions as he begins to swim again.

"Yeah, but still.."

The three of you swam in the water in bliss.

You went to the girl's locker room while Haruka and Makoto were changing in the boy's locker room.

'I can't believe I'm a university student now.' You think to yourself as you put on your clothes.

"I swear, sometimes it looks like you can't survive out of water, Haru-chan." Makoto smiles at his friend.

"I keep telling you not to call me Haru-chan." Haruka frowns.

The three best friends head to the train station after changing.

"Come to think about it, you always said you couldn't wait to be an ordinary person. Do you still feel the same way?" (Name) directs her sentence to Haruka.

"I..."

"Oh, yikes! See you two later, Haru, (Name)! Good luck!" Makoto bids farewell as he runs to his train.

"Bye!"

"Thanks."

Haruka and You get on the same train. Makoto waves from the other train. Haruka and You wave back as the train starts to move.

Haruka looks at Makoto's moving train that goes in the other direction.

"Hey, it's going to be okay. I'm still here with you." You reassure Haruka as you hold his hand.

He nods at you.

'An ordinary person..' Haruka thinks.

Ikuya stood in a bus next to his friend, Toono Hiyori. He had olive green eyes and brown hair. He had glasses framed on his face.

"I'm never going to be an ordinary person." Ikuya murmurs.

"Huh? What are you saying?" Hiyori asks.

"It's a saying."

"You're never going to turn into an ordinary person. Don't even worry about that, Ikuya. You're Ikuya, you know." Hiyori reassures him.

"Is that a compliment?"

"Of course! What..did I make you mad?" Hiyori asks.

"No." Ikuya replies.
