CHAPTER 1: The Rivalry
Life couldn't get any sweeter for Mikagami Tokiya. Having an amost angelic face (for a guy), chisled abs, above average brains, rich family and of course to top it all a wonderful girlfriend.
His girlfriend made him what he is today, a warm-hearted guy and even more popular than before. This time all-over the campus, including the personels. Girls stopped following him, though they still fantasize about him. I know you're all curious who his girlfriend is so drum roll! Ishigawa Tomoko, a year younger than Tokiya, is the almost perfect image of a girl. (Yeah it's not Fuuko guys! Wait and read! :p)
Okay let's not forget Kirisawa Fuuko, after all she is a lead in this story. Tomoko might have the looks and the brains, but she is always beaten by Fuuko in anything competitive. That is why deep inside her Tomoko schemes of what miserable doing she can do to our Fuuko. Yes folks, she's the opposite of good! Although Fuuko never thought of Tomoko as a rival it was the contradictory for Tomoko.
Alas the annual intramurals were to begin by next week. Everyone is class B, the characters' class, are busy electing their competitors for each event. The president and the secretary were up front taking the nominations and votes from their classmates (did I mention it was Tokiya and Fuuko?).
"Next is swimming, who would you want?" asked their president, Mikagami
"Let it be Fuuko!" one shouted. Tokiya looked at Fuuko and said, "Do you want to? After all we have no choice since you are by far the best among all of us." Fuuko gave a faint smile and nodded, then jotted down her name in her pad. Now at this time, both are not aware of their feelings yet. But in the presence of each other the feeling is unexplainable; they're both at ease okay? (Ah screw my language incapabilities!) At the same time Tomoko was also voted to be a competator in swimming.
THE DAY OF THE COMPETITION
Every class were cheering for their players. Banners and cheers all over the campus and the players were changing in their swimsuit. After sometime each one of them start leaving the showers and were now in the open talking to their friends. However one was left behind, Fuuko Kirisawa, cursing in anger because her top's lock (I don't know what that's called... XD) has snapped and she is having a hard time finding a replacement.
"Damn, not now! They're depending on me!" she shouted in anger as she protectively held her top from falling.
Normally, Tokiya is with his girlfriend but after waiting for their class player to appear from the shower he felt worried. He kissed his girlfriend and told her good luck, then he went to see Fuuko. He waited for about two minutes for Fuuko to leave, but then he heard a scream from the girls' shower. Troubled by the scream he went inside and found the wind child on her back, legs rested on a fallen bench and was holding her top.
"Thought you were in some kind of danger. Is it that hard to change on a girl's (giving emphasis on girl) swim wear?" he held out his hand restraining himself from laughing.
"For your information Mi-chan, my top's lock is broken! How am I suppose to swim? Without any top huh?" she exclaimed punching him lightly on his chest.
The thought of "swimming without a top" made Tokiya observe the girl's figure. Now he swore in all things sacred that this was not the body of Fuuko, how could Fuuko have a body to die for? I guess he never paid attention to the goddess-like beauty. He gave a grin from his silly thoughts (rather sexual) and said, "Ok, um..let's see here." he rumaged around the room and in her bag finding a replacement for her top. He found none and went outside, he came back with a safety pin and asked Fuuko to turn around. He almost gave a gasp at the sight of her milky soft back, but he remembered Tomoko and quickly pinned the top.
He wished her luck as they both appeared from the crowd, this irritated Tomoko a little.
3...2...1...GO! And the players were off, crowd cheered in excitement, but Tokiya remained silent. He didn't side for any player, not even Tomoko. The first round's result was:
First place: Kirisawa Fuuko
Second place: Ishigawa Tomoko
Third place: Makamichi Mamoru
There were three rounds for this game and for the last two rounds it was always Fuuko who bagged first place. This made Tokiya smile and for the first time he shouted, "You can do it Fuuko!" and then waved at her. Fuuko smiled back and readied herself for the last round. They were given 5 minutes to prepare, this gave Tomoko the time to think of a plan. She talked to her friends and instructed them what to do.
All players were positioned and the whistle of the coach was heard. 3 laps left, 2, and 1 the crime was to begin. One of Tomoko's friend sunk deep in the pool and was waiting for the signal, once she heard it, she grabbed Fuuko's left leg and pulled her down. To the "puller", it was not Fuuko! She pulled the wrong person, worst was it was Tomoko! The game ended with Tomoko out of sight, Tokiya pushed his way to the crowd as everyone started whispering amongst each other. "Where's Ishigawa-chan?" they all asked each other. Fuuko voluntarily dived back and searched for Tomoko. She found her floating almost lifeless and she took her by the waist and placed her on the ground. Apparently, the culprit was never caught. The medical staff arrived and gave CPR to the motionless body. They placed her in an ambluance together with Tokiya and drove off to the hospital.
THE HOSPITAL
Tomoko slowly opened her eyes and she saw a young man's face.
"Thought I lost you..." Tokiya kissed her forehead and held her hand tighter.
"Silly boy, you know I'd never leave you." she smiled and cupped Tokiya's face.
At that point they heard a knock on the door, and a chibi faced Fuuko peeped inside saying, "Um..hi, may I come in?"
What do you guys think? Well, of course Tomoko wouldn't want her inside, but Tokiya nodded and she hopped inside. Tomoko thought Fuuko's happy because she looks helpless lying down in this bed. Actually, Fuuko was extremely happy to see her alive.
"Thought we'de lost you there Ishigawa-chan, but we know you as a strong girl! I knew you will survive and I promise you I--" Fuuko was interupted by Tomoko with a slap on her face.
Tokiya jumped from his seat and was still for a moment. Fuuko placed her hand on her left cheek, she was shocked on what Tomoko did. Tokiya and Fuuko were both shocked, they knew this girl as a kind and well, kind one! How could she slap Fuuko?
Not realizing that her boyfriend was in the room she yelled, "You bitch! How dare you visit me!? Don't you know you've pressured me enough!?". Fuuko was speechless, what has she done to get slapped by Ishigawa Tomoko?
"I..I don't understand..I'm sorry..." she walked out the room, dumbfounded by the incident. Tokiya snapped out of his senses and followed Fuuko, this gave Tomoko a surprise and screamed in anger for Tokiya to come back.
"Fuuko!" he called out. She glanced behind and saw Tokiya breathless from running, he grabbed her by the hand.
"Listen, I-I don't know what came over Ishigawa...but..." he paused and looked straight at her eyes. Imagine the scene with the sun illuminating the two as if in a movie. She shook her head and said, "It's my fault..I should've never came in the first place." releasing her hand from Tokiya's grip. She walked away, leaving Tokiya with mixed emotions.
