H1 The important day

Rin's POV.

The rain is dripping on Rin's shoulders as he walks back from school. He doesn't care about becoming wet. Rin sighs when he sees Nitori running towards him, 'We have to go to!' Nitori shouts as Rin interrupts: 'Yeah I know we have to go to swimming practice'. Rin knew all too well, since his mind has been on the swimming practice for some time now.

They are having a joint practice with Iwatobi today. That means he'll see Haru-chan, and race with him. Rin is burning from excitement. He always gets an adrenaline kick if he races against Haru. He is the only one to make him this excited.

They walk to their dorm room. Rin gets his bag, dumps everything in it and leaves, walking rather quickly to go to swimming practice. Nitori isn't ready jet, and when he sees Rin left, and is already at the end of the hallway, he quickly puts everything in his bag. Matsuoka-senpai, wait up! Rin sighs and walks a little slower. Nitori catches up and they walk towards the indoor swimming pool. They talk about the results of the last race, especially about the race between Rin and Haru-chan. You did very well Matsuoka-senpai! 'You almost beat him'. Rin grinds his teeth. That's the case Nitori, I almost beat him every time. But I'm still not good enough! Nitori looks up at his senpai and frowns. Of course you are good enough! You just had a bad day, that's all! Nitori smiles at him. Rin is irritated. Why does Nitori always look at everything so positive. So you're suggesting I had a bad day every time I had to race against Haru-chan?

Nitori looks at the ground. Uhmm… yeah, I think? Rin shakes his head. Never mind Nitori, you just be happy, while I think of the realistic things.

They reached the changing rooms. Rin and Nitori change in their swimming clothes when the door of the changing room opens.

Makoto, Nagisa, Rei and Haru step into the room. Haru looks around, takes his pants of, and he wears his swimming pants, of course.

Then he runs off to the swimming pool. Rin stares at him. This is it. Today is the day I am going to beat Haru….
