Chap 3- Thanks
Akashi huffed. "Dang, sometimes I worry about him" she whipped out her phone and punched in a number. She waited.
The person on the other side answered. "Hello?"
Akashi smiled. "The job is done" she hung up.
Dragging her bag back to school, she paused at the pool. Smiling devilishly, Akashi dropped her bag, opened the door, ran across to the pool and jumped the last few feet. "WHEE~"
The cold water hit her body refreshingly. She stayed underwater for a few seconds and popped back up the surface, flipping her hair backwards and running her hand through her shoulder length, wet red hair.
A hand extended out to her. "Hey."
Akashi looked hop and grinned and took his hand. "Hey, what'd ya do with the picture?"
Rin was bending over her. "Well- I-er- tacked it onto the bulletin board in my room" Rin pulled her out of the pool. "Geez. You're gonna catch a cold" Akashi was slopping wet.
She shrugged. "Nah, I'll be fine. Haruka aways said that that every time you sneeze someone's talking about you. So I hold in my sneezes"
Rin sat down and looked up at the ceiling. "How do you know Haruka anyway?"
Akashi stared at him. "I'm in the Iwatobi swim club, it doesn't matter if you're in a different school."
"Why didn't you just join the swim team here?" Rin asked.
Akashi swayed her feet in the water and mumbled. "…you wouldn't remember anyway"
He frowned. "What'd you say?"
She sighed and laced her fingers together. "Remember that girl in the Iwatobi elementary swim club who had the worst form ever and was aways in the corner by herself? The time you could see her swim was after practice- by herself, everyone would stare at her form. Terrible- was the first thing that would come to mind. Only when she hit the water, would you see how fast she could swim and how she whizzed thorough the pool. She was the girl who challenged you. The girl who lost to you. The girl who hated you. The girl you pushed into the pool every time she looked too serious... Akashi took a huge breath. "The girl that used to be me"
She pulled herself off the floor and smiled. 'I have changed a lot - I'm glad I did' Akashi whipped around. "Hey Rin."
Rin turned around.
"Thanks for changing me."
