(Y/n) pov
Today is the first day of me being a member of the swim team. I hung out with my friends and when class ended I said goodbye to everyone, but I stopped Toshi.
"I know you've done a lot for me which I'm extremely thankful for and this is probably too much to ask for but can you please go with me I'm really nervous."
"Fineeee, you knew I would anyway."
"Thank you so much!" I said giving her a jump hug.
"Come on let's go."
I jumped on Tosh's back because why not and Toshi ran with over to practice.
She walked quickly to the edge of the pool and tried to lean back to make me fall into the pool.
"Noooo I have my normal clothes on!" I pleaded while laughing.
"Should have thought about that before you jumped on my back!" She said.
"If I'm going down you are too!" Then I leaned back too and Tosh lost her footing and fall backward.
We both screamed as we fell in. There was a massive splash. I came above the water and spit out all the water I just inhaled.
"That's what you get!" I said laughing.
"Why would you do that?!" Tosh said not mad.
"I mean what did you expect?"
We both were laughing so much we could barely understand each other's words. Then Haru and Makoto cane running out followed by two other people.
"What happened?" Makoto said frantically.
"We're fine," I say.
"Oh my gosh, Toshi you can barely swim," Haru said holding out his hand.
"I don't need your help!" Tosh said slapping his hand.
Haru rolled his eyes and jumped into the pool and started to swim laps.
We both got out of the pool.
"Are those new members?" A yellow-haired boy said excitedly.
"Yeah, I'm (y/n)," I said smiling.
"I'm Nagisa!" I said happily to both of us.
"And this is Rein! It seems like you already know Makoto and Haru."
"Yeah, we do," I say.
"Hey, I'm Toshi."
"Hey, can I ask how you know Haru? He never is like that to anyone while beside Makoto. Does he have a crush on you!?"
"Oh god no!" Toshi said disgustedly. "No! We're cousins and even if we weren't every other conversation we have is us fighting!"
"Oh oops."
Then there was a silence.
"Good job on making everything awkward," I whispered to Tosh.
"What did you want me to say!?"
"Anyway, we should probably start practice." Said Makoto.
"Yeah," I said jumping in.
"What about you Toshi-chan ?" Asked Nagias.
"Nope, I don't like swimming. I'm here for moral support."
"(Y/n) do you know what swim style you swim?" Asked Makoto.
"I know there are other styles but I didn't know anyone actually did anything but normal swimming."
"What's normal?" Makoto asked.
"I do breaststroke!" Said Nagisa.
"I do the beautiful butterfly stroke." Said a guy with blue-purple hair.
"I do backstroke." Said Makoto.
"And Haru only..." Makoto started.
"Only does free." Said Tosh rolling her eyes.
She was sitting next to our teacher.
Then a girl came out with red hair.
"Why are there new people?" She said confused.
"I'm joining the swim team!" I said happily.
"Oh, I'm Kou. I'm the manager! It's exciting to see someone actually join! What do you swim?"
"The normal type of swimming..."
She thought for a second "Do you mean free?"
"Uhhh.."
"Like What Haru is doing right now." She said pointing.
"Oh yeah, that."
"Okay start swimming so we can get a time for you."
I got into the pool and swam back and forth I didn't really think I did anything that impressive I was focused more on my form so I didn't look dumb.
When I got back up and everyone looked impressed.
"What was my time?" I ask.
"It was 1 minute 40 seconds!" Said Kou.
"Uhhh is that good?"
"Extremely! Especially since you haven't swam compatibly before!"
"Thanks."
"You could definitely could bring back awards with practice." Makoto said.
"Thanks." I said slightly blushing.
The rest of the practice I spent working on my form and improving my skills. When practice was over I started to head back with Tosh.
"Hey, (y/n) we should walk back together... I mean we live in the same neighborhood..." Makoto said shyly.
"Yeah all four of us can." I say smiling.
