FREE! : Haru's in love !?

Soft Voice

I told Makoto to come over and help me study because I missed the test today and was going back to school tomorrow . I heard the door bell ring and Makoto was out of breath .

"Did you run all the way here ? " I asked

" Haru ! .....the ....girl .....I ..know...her....name .." he said panting

He must have seen her !

We sat at the kitchen table and gave him a glass of water

" You know who she is ? " I looked at him curiously

" She just transfered to our school and she's in our class " he said

" What's her name ? "

" Her name is Furukawa Aoki " he said smiling

Aoki huh? that's a nice name ~

" Before I left to meet up with the guys I heard her talking about her favorite hobby "

"  She said she likes to swim free " he said

" Free! " I said out loud

So she does swim freestyle , I knew it

I got lost in my thoughts I didn't realize I got quite

" I also heard that Gou-chan meet with her and asked her to come visit the club " Makoto said

" She's coming to our club "

Thank you Gou-chan , I knew you were good !

The next day I woke up earlier than usual , I don't know why . I meet up with Makoto and we walked to school .

" Haru your walking too fast " he said taking a breath

I didn't realize it until I saw how far he was to me and walked back .

" Sorry Makoto " I said

" Its fine , I can tell your excited . I mean you even woke up early " he said

I'm excited ? I don't look like it though ...

We arrived at school and half way walked with Nagisa and Rei . They were filled with energy like usual . Makoto and I walked to class and he was about to open the door when I stopped him .

Why do I suddenly feel nervous , my heart is beating really fast ! I can't breath !

I was lost in thought but then Makoto put his arm on my shoulder .

" Don't worry , its going to be ok " he said with a smile

I took a deep breath and opened the door . As we walked in Makoto had a confused face and was looking around .

" I don't see her " he said

Feww! I'm glad she's not here yet !

Class was already starting so I walked to my desk that was near the window and looked out side . The sky was grey and it looked lonely without the rain .
