Your hand gripped the fence tightly as you stared at the school's swimming pool. You wanted to dive in but the autumn breeze reminded you that it'd be foolish to do such a thing.

You were jogging out on your way to get groceries and found yourself coming to this spot. The last time you swam seemed like years and for some reason you wanted to swim for the heck of it.

You admitted to yourself it wasn't something that you always felt at all. It was new to you. This school year had changed you. It was all thanks to your classmate, Rei Ryugazaki.

"O-of course.." you smiled despite your blushing face.

"Thank you," he bowed his head also blushing slightly.

"Let's get going," you smiled and led the way.
