Chapter 2: A stupid thing to a prefect guy

Time flew by as I watched the team practise. The blonde, Nagisa was as bubbly as ever I got explained to me. He was quite fun to be around, though he could get kinda weird sometimes.

Haruka, the blackhaired boy didnt really talk much as he kept to the water most of the time. Nagisa told me about how he always said "I only swim free". He was a really nice guy, though from the small conversations I had with him.

Then there was Rei. All I heard him talking about was how he only swim butterfly as it was beautiful. And because he sank everytime he tried any other stroke. "Tell me Rei, why did you join the swimteam?" I asked as he got out of the pool and over to the benches to get his towel.

"I used to be on the trackteam, but then I saw Haruka-senpai swim when we had joint practise against Samezuka Academy. It was beautiful." He said, drying off himself.

I nodded in response and gazed across the pool again. It was Makotos turn to swim. He jumped in the water, placed his feet on the wall and grabbing a hold of the bars on the block. Gou took the whistle around her neck in her right hand. "Ready." Makoto prepared himself to start. "Go!" Gou blew her whistle and Makoto kicked off the wall, letting go of the bars and stretched himself out as much as he could.

^-^…

He dove into the water, hands first and after a few seconds he came up to the surface and started to rotate his arms backwards, moving faster and faster across the water.

"Wow! Makoto's good!" I had never seen anyone swim like that before and it amazed me. Standing up, I walked to the block and kept my eyes on Makoto.

He was in the turn, turning his body around, flipping in the water and kicking off from the wall.

I could do nothing but stare. My mouth was open, my eyes wide. "Wow.." I said,

As he came into the last meters, I backed up to not get water on me. Makoto stood on the bottom, took off his goggles and cap and dove under the water towards the ladder.

Gou walked up to him with a towel, he thanked her as he took it and I still stared at him. He wasnt muscular but he was fit, his swimwear, green stripes adorning the sides from his hip to his feet on both sides.

The water on his torso seemed to shine. I shook my head and closed my mouth before walking up to him, taking his hand. "That was really cool! Could you teach me to swim like that?" I asked frantically while jumping up and down.

Makoto just smiled with his eyes closed and I completly melted on the inside. I would never get tired of his smile.

"Sure, why not? When do you wanna start?" He asked me while drying his hair abit.

"Well, I was gonna go to the pool in town after school, so I have my swimsuit with me. If its okay that we start now?" My face heated up abit as I looked down at the ground.

Maybe I had rushed into this a bit much. Makoto laughed slightly before placing a hand on my shoulder. "Go get changed and we'll start." I looked up and into his eyes with the biggest smile I had ever worn on my face. "Thank you so much!"

"Then you need to fill out a member application form tomorrow." Gou said as she came up next to me. I nodded, walking to my bag and pulling out my swimsuit.

^-^…

A few minutes later I emerged from the lockerroom, adorning my darkblue swimsuit with a small wing imprinted on my chest. It was a normal swimsuit, nothing fancy. I had kept my button-up on after changing as it was still a bit cold for being early summer.

"You look so cute Suza-chan!" Nagisa came jumping over to me and gave me a hug. Slightly startled, I gave him a pat on the back before letting me go.

I made my way to the benches again, took of my shirt and grabbed my cap and goggles. I bunched up my hair and put on the cap, walking up to Makoto at the same time.

"We'll be leaving now." Gou said to us. Haruka, Nagisa, Rei and Gou all waved to us and exited the poolarea before I had the chance to say anything.

"Wh..what? You're gonna leave us?" My voice quivered as if I was going to cry.

"Its okay, I dont bite." The brunettes voice was soothing, once again, my cheeks flushing. What was this feeling?

He led me to the block and stood up. "Okay, well, for starters, you have to be in the water when you start." He took a step out from the edge and dove into the water feet first. The water splashed all over, covering my legs and stomach.

"Oi! Cant you be a bit more careful?" I shout at Makoto, slightly shivering from the cold water. He answered me with that smile again.

^-^…

About two hours later me and Makoto climbed out of the pool and went to get our towels. "This was fun. I cant thank you enough, Makoto-senpai." I chirped.

"It was nothing, its always fun to help new members." he reassured me. Never had I encountered such a lovely person as him.

"Well, go get changed and lets go home." He said after getting his stuff together. I nodded and skipped over to him and walked into the girls lockerroom to change.

Once inside I took off my swimsuit and twisted it to get most of the water out. I took my towel and went to the shower to get all the chlorine from my hair. As the warm water ran over my pale skin I couldnt stop thinking about how fun it had been. Meeting Nagisa-senpai, Gou-senpai and everyone else. Especially Makoto. Oh my god, Makoto! I realised I had been in the shower for twenty minutes, just standing. I hurried out, got dressed and ran out the front on the building.

"Im sorry I too..k…so long…huh?" There he was, waiting for me with a drink in his hand. The sunset lit up behind him so perfectly it was ridiculous. Almost like in a fairytale. His brown hair swayed lightly in the wind, his eyes so kind and his smile so warm.

"Come on. Lets go." He said. I whimpered at the sound of his voice and slowly walked up to him. Why was he so perfect?

He handed me the drink as we walked and both were silent. It was a comfterable silience. Not one of those awkward ones I have had too many times. It was nice.

Finally Makoto said "This is where I go." We stopped at a crossing, leading into a collection of houses. So he lived by the sea, huh? Thats nice.

"See you tomorrow then, Makoto-senpai." I said happily.

I motioned for him to get closer and I planted a soft kiss on his cheek before taking off in a run towards the trainstation.

He reached for his cheek with his hand, rubbing it slightly. A blush slowly but surely crept onto his face.

^-^…

"Why did I do that? Idiot!" I placed my face in my hands, knees propped up against my chest. I sat on my bed, changed into a white tanktop and crimson short. "Stupid, stupid, stupid Suzaku!" I rubbed the bridge of my nose and pressed my eyes shut. "You just met him! And you already kissed his cheek!"

My mom called from downstairs that the dinner was ready so I stood up, walked downstairs and sat down by the table. My dad had come home late so he was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper. "How was school today?" He asked, leaning his head backwards to look at me.

"It was okay, I guess. I met the swimteam." I responded.

He nodded to me with a smile and went back to reading his paper. Mom finished cooking and sat everything down on the table.

"So, anything special happening today at school?" My mom asked me curiously. I took a piece of cooked pork and nibbled on it before answering. "Not really."

I sighed slightly, hoping my mom wouldnt notice.

She did.

Of course she did, its my mom. She notices everything.

"Tell me about what happened." She said. I shook my head and took a small carrot and placed it in my mouth.

She grinned at me before creeping up next to me and started to tickle me.

Damn her and her ways of always getting me to tell her stuff!

"I kissed a boys cheek!" I yelled as I laughed.
