The gang had all gathered together to head over to the pool for practice.

" It's weird that Ama-chan sensei wasn't there today, somebody told me she left for something important" A tall, soft eyed teen with brown hair commented to his friends who looked at him in shock.

"Left?! Where did she go?!" a small red haired girl said in surprise. Their advisor didn't notify them of her leaving. For how long was she leaving exactly? How come they hadn't been informed of this? They needed her to make some arrangements. The manager of the club, Gou Matsuoka, was doing a great job but there were just some things she couldn't do on her own, that's why the advisor came into play. The tall brown haired boy, Makoto Tashibana, shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Who's going to be our advisor in her absence?" A tall purple haired boy wondered as he adjusted his bag pack on his back.

"I guess we'll find out" Gou said, pursing her lips as she glanced at her shoes. She had to admit, she felt a bit peeved at the prospect of their teacher leaving without telling them?

"It's going to be okay Gou-chan, maybe she asked someone to replace her" A blond boy with magenta eyes reassured with a sunny smile. The girl found herself smiling back, Nagisa Haruki was always there to look on the bright side of things, which often helped them in many situations where they thought hope was lost. A boy with black hair and eyes as blue as the ocean merely watched his friends chatter back and forth, his face in a neutral mask. Haruka Nanase was content on just listening to the conversation, feeling no need to participate or voice his worry over the absence of their advisor.

As they reached the school's pool, they saw an unknown female standing against the wall of the locker room, inspecting her fingernails in a bored fashion, her heart shaped face conveying a blank expression. Her hazel eyes snapped up as soon she heard them.

-Splash Free!-

I looked up abruptly as I heard footsteps approach. A group of teenagers seemed to be walking over, talking amongst themselves. There was one wine red haired girl with four boys. They were wearing what I assumed was the school uniforms. The girl wore a navy blue blazer with a cream vest underneath, a small red bow wrapped around her neck with a brown skirt. As for the boys, it was a navy blue blazer with a white blouse and brown pants. The ties color seemed different, maybe because they weren't in the same grade? Oh god, why were they good looking? Why did it have to happen to me? I wasn't being professional right now.

I hesitated on calling out to them, what if it wasn't the group I was looking for. Ama-chan had only given me their names, not how they looked like. Might as well ask them if they knew about the swim club. I should have done that a little while ago, I was getting hot here even though I was standing in the shades.

"Excuse me!" I called to the group, slowly walking over to them. All their eyes snapped over to me. I felt myself freeze and gulped, swallowing back my anxiety with a cough.

"would you mind telling me where the swim team is?" I asked, silently damning Ama-chan for making me do this. The wine haired girl stepped up with a friendly smile.

" It's right here! Are you a fan?" She asked, tilting her head, her ponytail tilting to the side. A fan? I knew that they made the nationals and all, don't get me wrong, that was so freaking amazing but I wasn't a fan.

"Umm no, I'm actually Amakata's replacement, I'm Miranda Turquoise, nice to meet you" I said, bowing low with a smile.

"Oh you know Ama-chan sensei?" The girl asked curiously.

"Yes ,in fact, we are friends, that why she trusted me with this task" I explained, stuffing my hands into my pockets, wait ,those are fake pockets, goddamn jeggings…

"Oh well in this case, I'm Gou Matsuoka, I'm the club's manager' Gou introduced sunnily, bowing. I felt like I was going to like her already. The small blond immediately jumped into my personal space and I didn't flinch, I was used to it, you got to when you have a club that half of the people in it don't really respect personal space.

" Ne Mira-chan, Im Nagisa Hazuki!" The blond said excitedly, giving a quick bow. That seemed to spur the others in introducing themselves. The tall brown haired one was Makoto Tachibana, the blue haired one was Rei Ryugazaki and Makoto introduced the black haired one as Haruka Nanase. He reminded me of Takashi, being silent and stoic as he was.

"Come, I'll show you around!" Nagisa said excitedly, grabbing my hands and tugging me towards the pool. I offered no resistance; I knew it was futile with this type of persons.

I heard Rei scold Nagisa in the back but the blond didn't seem to want to listen. I was shown around the locker room and the pool. There wasn't much to see. The pool sparkled in the sunlight, a few leaves drifting at the surface but otherwise, it seemed in prime condition.

"We all fixed it ourselves you know" Nagisa informed proudly, rocking back and forth on his heels with his hands clasped behind his back. I did a double take when I turned to look at him. Whoa whoa wait, when he got in jammers? I looked up and held back a strangled sound that threatened to escape. There were all, stripping. Oh god, I wasn't being professional right now… Of Course all of them would have swimmers bodies. I gulped , trying not to stare too hard.

"Beautiful aren't they?" I heard Gou utter dreamily beside me. I looked at her and saw the stars in her eyes. I could only nod, utterly speechless. Haruka was the first to dive in, his body gliding gracefully into the water until he resurfaced. I looked on as he effortlessly breached the water, his movements smooth and gracefully like…a dolphin.

I never saw someone swim as beautifully in my life…
