Chapter 1

Three teenagers walked the cold streets on their way to school. One of the girls sneezed, her nose turning red.

" Bless you," her brother said. " And next time, cover your mouth." The girl chuckled as she got out her handkerchief.

" Sorry Jun, I didn't mean to do that." Jun Tachibana sighed, and moved his attention to the quiet girl beside him.

" Hey, Amaya are you going to the swimming club today?" he asked. Amaya Nanese nodded, as she fixed her light blue scarf.

" Even though it's cold, I want to practice my swimming more." Jun chuckled nervously. " Even though it's Winter, you want to swim?" He sighed. " You're like Uncle Haru alright, same stubborn attitude on swimming."

Jun's twin, Yuki, laughed. " Uncle Haru and Amaya have similar appearances as well as personality. I don't remember the last time Amaya hasn't been in water."

Jun sighed and walked faster than the two of them.
" What are you doing Jun?" Yuki asked.

" Isn't it obvious? I'm hurrying so I can get to school, and pretend that I don't know you two."
Yuki grinned and jogged up to her brother.

" Come on Amaya!" she called. Amaya gazed out at the ocean before running to catch up with them.

As lunch time came around, Yuki sneezed once again. Jun sighed. " Alright, when we get home you're getting hot tea."

" Maybe because I have been in the cold for too long," Yuki thought aloud.
" Or maybe because you're an easy one to catch," Jun muttered. " I don't remember the last time you put on a scarf or sweater."

Yuki looked down at her clothing, which was a blue long sleeved shirt and a skirt with stockings. She crossed her arms. " I'll have you know, this is warm. Unlike your thick blue jacket that you wear."

As the siblings bickered, Amaya gazed out the window. She could see the snow, fly through the air before it fell to the ground. That was all she wanted to do, be free, like her father. Though, she knew eventually that she had to get over that childish dream and grow up.

" What do you think Amaya?" Yuki asked. Amaya broke her gaze with the window and looked at Yuki, who was smiling like an idiot.

" What?" Amaya asked.
" Jun and I want to play basketball with Shigino-san," she said. " Do you want to join us?"

Amaya shook her head instantly. " I don't want to play basketball with her. She's too clingy."

" So is Yuki, but I don't see you hanging out with her," Jun said, earning a punch from his twin.

The real reason was that, she didn't like Shigino. When she was younger, Shigino always played with Jun and Yuki, much to Amaya's jealousy. She sighed and stabbed her meat with her chopsticks. As she did this, Jun and Yuki looked at each other before back at Amaya.

Before they could say anything, the bell rang, telling everyone to head back to their seats.

After school, Amaya followed Jun and Yuki to the basketball courts.
" Are you sure she's suppose to be here?" Yuki asked her brother. He nodded.

" She kept asking me last week if we could play. If she ditched us, then I'm gonna be upset." Not even a second later, hands wrapped themselves around Jun's stomach.

" Found you!" a voice cheered. Behind Jun was a girl with dull pink hair and bright blue eyes. She carried a basketball along with her.

" Shigino," Yuki said. Amaya scoffed.

" It's been a while. I'm sorry that I'm late, I had to make up something from my absence last week."

" That's right, how are you feeling?" Jun asked.

Kohaku Shigino smiled. " A lot better than usual. Thanks for asking." Kohaku then noticed Amaya. She smiled and hugged her tightly, much to Amaya's disgust.

" Amaya! It's been a while!" Amaya rolled her eyes at Kohaku's friendly attitude.

" I heard you guys were in swimming club, how is that doing for you?" Amaya shrugged, not wanting to answer this pink haired girl. Though, Kohaku didn't get the hint and put her arm around Amaya's shoulder.

" Alright, are you playing with us Amaya?" she asked. Amaya pushed her arm off and shook her head.

" No, my mom is gonna worry about me. I didn't tell her that I would be staying out here, so I have to head home now."

Kohaku pouted. " Aw, then next time make sure you tell her. I want to play against you."

Amaya picked up her backpack and nodded. " Sure, maybe next time." That was a lie. Kohaku waved goodbye to Amaya, leaving her alone with Jun and Yuki.

" Are you sure she's gonna be alright?" Yuki asked Jun. He shrugged.

" If anyone knows Amaya, it's us. Besides, she's a tough girl she should be okay."

They then started their game of basketball, leaving Amaya by herself.
