Miyuki gaped at the sight that stood before her as she and Hiroko entered the gates of Samezuka Academy.
"It's huge!" She gasped.
"Well, of course. Samezuka is an all-boys boarding school."
"Well, that makes sense. They have to fit the dormitories here, too. Anyway, where's this boyfriend of yours?"
Hiroko blushed furiously,
"He's not my boyfriend!"
Miyuki laughed and pointed at a large building with many large windows. It was connected to a smaller building that had the words "swimming pool" pasted above the door.
"You said he was on the swim team? Right? Maybe he's in there."
Hiroko nodded and the two girls ventured into the building.
They were met by a secretary who was sitting behind a large desk that was blocked off with glass except for a window in the middle of it all.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for Nagasaki Takumi."
The secretary looked down for a few moments as if he were looking through a list.
"Ah, yes. Nagasaki-kun is in practice right now. You can go on ahead to the viewing room if you'd like."
Hiroko bowed slightly and motioned for Miyuki to follow as she walked towards a door behind the secretary desk.
The viewing room was simply a room with large glass windows that allowed visitors to see into the pool area. There was also a door that led into the pool area and Miyuki could see that the pool area was massive. The pool was big enough to where two swimmers could fit in one lane and there was a second floor to the pool area with an all-around balcony that overlooked the pool area. The pool wasn't the only impressive thing, though.
Miyuki blushed at the sight of topless boys dressed in nothing but skin-tight swimming jammers of different lengths and colors; some even wore speedos. Miyuki had never seen a swim team before; Murakami High didn't have a pool or a swim team. She wondered if Murakami High could be persuaded to start a swim team. The swimmers of differed in muscle content-some completely lacked muscles while others were bulky-but there was one who caught Miyuki's attention.
He had maroon hair and he wore long black jammers with red markings and he wore a black jacket over his bare torso. A pair of swimming goggles kept his bangs out of his face and a whistle hung around his neck.
"Look, that's Takumi-kun over there!"
Miyuki's eyes widened when Hiroko pointed at the red haired boy.
"That's him?"
Miyuki felt a surge of disappointment wash over her. That was Hiroko's boyfriend? Miyuki felt extremely jealous that Hiroko was talking to an extremely hot guy. She bit her lip to hide a disappointed pout.
"No, not him! The one standing beside him." Hiroko giggled; she noticed Miyuki's subtle expression of disappointment.
Miyuki softly sighed, relieved. Hiroko's boyfriend seemed to be an average guy.
The red head took the whistle that hung around his neck and brought it to his lips, giving it a firm blow. The sharp sound cut through the air twice, drawing all attention to the red head. The swimmers gathered in three rows by the pool while the red head stood in front of them.
"Good practice today, everyone. That's all for today. I want all the new swimmers to participate in the local tournament this week so I expect you all to practice hard. You're dismissed."
"Yes, sir!"
The swimmers dispersed and some headed to the locker room while others lingered behind.
"Looks like they're done, Hiro-"
Miyuki looked around for Hiroko but she was gone. It turns out that she was already out at the pool area. With a sigh, Miyuki made her way out to the pool area.
Hiroko waved excitedly when Miyuki walked up to them.
"Takumi-kun, this is Miyuki-chan! She's the one I've been telling you about."
Hiroko's boyfriend smiled brightly at Miyuki.
"Oh, you're Miyuki-chan. It's nice to finally meet you. I've heard a lot about you."
Miyuki smiled politely but she sweat dropped at Hiroko's enthusiasm.
"It's nice to meet you, too, Takumi-san."
"Miyuki-senpai? Hiroko-senpai?"
Miyuki and Hiroko turned, wondering who had called their names.
"Nitori-kun? What are you doing here?" Hiroko asked, surprised.
"Ah, Nitori, you know these girls, too?"
The lavender-haired boy smiled sheepishly.
"We went to middle school together. It's been a long time since I've seen you two."
"It's looks like you've been doing well, Nitori-kun." Hiroko said happily.
"Ai, are you coming or not?"
Miyuki felt her heart racing when she saw the red-haired captain approaching. Up close, he looked even more handsome and he was tall; Miyuki only reached his shoulders.
"Senpai! This is Miyuki-senpai and Hiroko-senpai. We went to middle school together."
The red-head's eyes quickly glanced over Miyuki and Hiroko.
"Oh, it's nice to meet you. I'm Matsuoka Rin."
"H-hello, it's nice to meet you." The girls replied in unison.
Miyuki's phone jingled and she checked it, her eyes widening when she saw the time.
"Ah! I have to go! Text me later, Hiroko! Um, it was nice meeting you, Takumi-san, Matsuoka-san! It was good to see you again, Nitori-kun!"
And with that, Miyuki quickly left the pool area and jogged out of Samezuka.
