"Aii-senpai! Aii-senpai!" I called out to the silver haired boy at the end of the hallway. I was waving a piece of paper in my hands as I approached him with a bright smile. He was talking to a couple of his classmates but I didn't care at that moment.

"Oh, hello, (F/n)," the second year greeted me with a slight tint of pink on his cheeks. Wha! He's so cute! He said goodbye to his classmates and they had left the two of us to converse. "What's that in your hands?"

I almost forgot what I came to him for... Jeez, I guess I do get a little too distracted when I'm with him.

I shoved the sheet into his hands and tried to contain my squeal of glee as he started to read it. "I got accepted to be the manager for your swim team! I already talked it over with Rin-senpai and he was more than happy to let me join!"

Before I get too far, I should mention that I was a first-year at Samezuka academy. I am already very well-acquainted with everyone in the swim club since last year because I knew Rin from my childhood. When I heard he had returned, I visited as much as I could. By the end of the year, the Samezuka swim team treats me like their younger sister. And so, I thought it would be a good idea to join the swim team as their manager in my first year, since I definitely knew a thing or two about swimming.

"That's fantastic, (F/n)! Now you will be able to hang around with me even more than usual!--" His face suddenly burned a crimson red. "I-I mean, hang with us... Not just m-me." He buried his face into his hands in embarrassment.

I let out a giggle at his sudden shyness and rested my hand on his shoulder. "No it's ok, Aii-senpai, I am more than happy to spend much more time with you and the team."

It was no question that I had a crush on Nitori Aiichirou. And, I think he likes me back. When I finally became a first year, I thought that maybe I can ask the precious boy out on an actual date. I was legitimately waiting for that moment... It was just that, this year brought one surprise that prevents me from doing that.

"Ah, (F/n)-chan, Nitori!" A deep voice called out to us. Both of us turned our attention to the approaching figure. I let out a groan in annoyance when I realized who it was.

My older brother, Yamazaki Sousuke.

He wedged himself between us and wrapped a protective arm around my shoulders. "I heard you're going to be joining us from now on," he said while ruffling my (h/c) hair. "That's great, I'll be able to see you more often. We can catch up on the time I was gone."

Even though I would be delighted to know everything that happened to Sousuke while he was away, I knew there was a bigger reason why he was ok with me joining the team.

Sousuke shot an unnecessary glare over to the younger boy as he pulled me away from him.

My brother was extremely overprotective when it involves boys.

~*~*~Time passes~*~*~

Prefecturals had come around in a flash. After a whole day of individual events, Captain Rin announced who were going to be in the team relay. Sadly, Nitori wasn't a part of that.

I knew how much Nitori wanted to swim along with Rin. It was one of his dreams. Although I was kind of mad for Rin's decision, I had to agree that Nitori wasn't one of the best swimmers on the team. Rin made a reasonable choice and I couldn't reject that as my job as manager.
