Authors note: Hello everyone! This is my first Free! fanfic ever and its probably gonna suck so im sorry if it does and I hope to get better and get reviews so I can improve.

I would like to dedicate this first chapter to Kitty Kat Yuki and her fanfic Her Promise as it inspired me to write this. Go read it yourself, its really good :D

Chapter 1: New school, new people.

Well, hi. Im Toriko Suzaku but my friends call me To-chan. Im a girl with a boyish name, so I often get mistaken for a boy. I've learned to deal with it so its not such a bother anymore.

Today is my fourth day of school at Iwatobi Highschool. I just moved back from studying abroad in Sweden.

But now I havet o wake up.

…^-^…

"Mom! What time is it?" I yelled tiredly downstairs, slowly getting up out of bed and stretched myself, my back cracking a bit from sleeping completly wrong.

"Its 7:30 hunny!" My mom answered me a few moments later.

7:30? My eyes widened, I froze completly and just stared at the wall.

"Oh crap! Im late! " I yelled to myself and hurried to get dressed. My schooluniform was lazily thrown over my deskchair and I grabbed the light brown skirt and pulled on it, hooking it on the side before I realised I hadnt changed out of my pyjamas.

"Oh come on!" I threw my hands up in the air and pulled my pj's off, throwing them on the bed, grabbing my white button-up shirt, buttoning it up all the way except the last button.

I pulled on my light gray sweater and started to scavange my dresser for a pair of socks. The only pair I managed to find was a pair of black thigh high socks. I sighed and put them on before running down into the kitchen where my mom has begun to cook. "Whats the hurry, dear? You start at 9 today. Right?"

I took a piece of toast and started to put my shoes on before hearing her. "9…right….I start at 9 today."

I sighed slightly and kicked my shoe off before placing my bag by the door, walking back to the kitchentable and sitting down, eating my toast. "Where's dad?" I asked my mom while taking a small bite of my toast.

"I dont know. He wasnt home when I got up. He must've gone to work early again." My mom answered me.

I looked over to the clock. 7:40. Time was going so slow. Maybe I should leave early to see if the school had a swimclub, I thought to myself. I looked over to my mother and did the best puppyeyes ever. "Mom? Can I join the swimmingteam?"

"Why would you want that Su-chan? Didnt you say you were gonna quit swimming?" I pouted at her answer and took another bite of my toast, finishing it quickly. "Yes I did." I said before walking to the hall.

I sat down, grabbing my shoes, hearing a rumbling sound from outside. Rain. "Better grab my umbrella then." I thought.

After getting ready to leave my mother patted my shoulder and held out a box for me. "Lunch. And you rbow." She smiled at me with that motherly smile. I love my mom. She's the best.

I gave her a huge hug before opening the door to see rain. Pouring rain. So much of it.

…^-^…

As I got to school, ten minutes later, I changed my shoes and placed my umbrella in the rack in the entrance.

My eyes were down on the floor as I walked around on the second floor, looking for my classroom, not looking ahead of myself as I bumped into someone, dropping all of my things on the floor. "Oh, im so sooo…" I gazed up to see who I bumped into, only to get cut off by the most wonderful smile in the whole world.

"Um…uh…sorry.." I backed up slightly, kneeling down to grab my stuff as my face heated up, my cheeks turning a light pink. "Its no problem at all. I should also apologize." That voice, its like my ears had just heard the most wonderful, soothing music of all time.

"Im Makoto." He kneeled down infront of me and heleds me pick up my books and pens before standing up, handing me my cellphone.

My face turned a darker shade of red as I look up at him, moving a few strands of hair from my face, putting them behind my ear. "Suzaku.." I said weakly in response before taking my cellphone and shoving it into my bag.

I flattened my skirt and shirt before looking up into his eyes. Oh my god, those eyes.

He just smiled at me and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Im sorry for bumping into you." He said before walking past me.

…^-^…

As school ended, I packed my things and hurried out to the pool to see if anyone was there.

Empty. Noone. Noone had shown up yet and I slid down the wall, sighing. "Figures." I said to myself.

Then I heard voices, laughing. "Huh?" I stood up and surveyed around to see four boys coming out from one of the rooms in their white and lightblue uniforms. A short blonde boy came out first, walking backwards with his arms stretched out, looking like he was explaning something.

After him came a darkblue haired boy, he pushed his glasses further up on his nose and seemed really annoyed for some reason.

Then, a tall blackhaired boy came out, completly silent, only looking at the water, his eyes shining full of desire.

Then comes Makoto. Wait…Makoto? He's in the swimteam?

My mouth popped open and I simply stared at Makoto as he towered over the other three members of the club, still wearing that smile.

"Hey! Come on! You need to atleast pick up your clothes! Nagisa-kun! Haru-senpai! " A girls voice was heard from inside the room where they came out.

"Ah! Sorry, Gou-chan." The blonde answered.

"So, this is the swim team, huh. There is Makoto. Are these the only members?" I say aloud, realising it too late.

Everyone turned their heads towards me and just stared. My face turned bright red and I started to run towards the exit before feeling someone grab a hold of my shoulders.

"Suzaku-san? What are you doing here?" Makoto asked, looking a little confused. I opened my mouth to answer him but all I felt was my throat closing up, my legs feeling weak from his touch for some reason.

"Come on, lets sit you down." He said to me, leading me towards the benches. I nodded to him as an answer and held his jacket for support. What is happening to me, I thought. My stomach started to feel all fluttery as I sat down, placing my bag next to me.

Moments later, a jacket came flying infront of me, landing by my feet and I looked up to see the blackhaired boy almost completly naked, except his swimtrunks. He took a stance on the board and jumped in. It was beautiful to watch him dive into that water.

"Get to practising! Dont sit and oogle a girl!" The girl yelled, who I learned whose name was Gou. Though the boys seemed to tease her since she had a boyish name. I giggled a little and placed a hand infront of my mouth, trying to stiffle it so noone heard.

"So, whats your name then?" Gou sat down next to me placing her hands on her knees.

"Im Suzaku." I made eyecontact with her for a few moments before looking away. "I know I have a boyish name. Please dont say anything about it. Even though your name is Gou." I laughed slightly to myself, looking away from her again.

We looked at the boys swim back and forth in the pool. Makotos backstrokes looked beautiful. I had never seen anyone swim like that.

"Why are you here Suzaku-san? Did you want something?" He redhead asked me suddenly. "Did you want to join us?"

I placed my eyes on her, taking her hands nodding. "Very much!"

…^-^…

Authors Note: Okay…so….I know its bad, nothing really happens but we get to see Suzaku and the swimteam atleast!
