It had been a hard day at school today. A headache building up all day, stress with homework and doing what you have been told at school. I was a little bit more than usual in my own world. Many had asked if I was alright.
I just wanted to skip class and go swim.
"What will you guys do today after school?" Nagisa asked enthusiastically.
"I will first do my homework and then go for a run", Rei Ryugazaki said while pushing his glasses up on his nose.
"I have to help my mom clean the house, but after that I'm free to do anything", Makoto said, looking a little bored at the cleaning part.
"What about you, Haru?" Nagisa asked, noticing I was in my own thoughts. I thought about it for a while, and then I knew exactly what I wanted to do.
"I'll go swim."
When I finally arrived at the pool where we usually had our training, I didn't waste a second on getting my clothes off.
I jumped in to the pool and felt my problems literally wash off me. I could finally relax.
I floated to the surface and swam a few strokes. Then I let my body go limp, lifted by the water. I looked up at the clouds in the sky, and saw a bird fly over me.
It was free.
And so was I.
I could finally enjoy my life and the company of my friends.
