"Hello, my name is Matsuoka Rin!" Rin said. "And my name is Ibuki Hibiki!" I said after him. "We previously went to Sani elementary school! I have a girly name, but I am a boy!" Rin said. "I have a boy-ish name but I'm a girl!" I said. "We're looking forward to be in this class!" We both said and bowed.

Later outside we were looking at a huge tree. "Wow! This tree is huge!" Rin said. "Is it a cherry blossom tree?" I asked. "It is." Makato replied. "Yeah? So come spring there'll be a whole bunch of blossoms falling down into the pool." Rin said. "I wanna try swimming in a pool full of cherry blossoms!" I said, jumping up. "Yeah! We can make it out new goal!" Rin said. "The water will be too cold." Makato said. "You should wait until summer before swimming." "I was just joking around, you don't have to get so serious." Rin said. "Well I was being very serious, when it's spring I don't care how cold it is, I will swim in cherry blossoms!" I said, my determined face on. "I have a question for you guys." Haruka said. "Oh what is it, Looking to shut down the transfer student on his first day?" Rin said. "No, I believe we've ben in the same tournaments before." Makato said. "Oh! You remembered us!" I said, giggling. "Whats with the scary look?" Rin asked Haruka. "We just happened to end up at this school when we moved." "Coincidences are super scary, huh?" I asked.

"My name is Matsouka Rin," Rin said. "And my name is Ibuki Hibiki!" I replied. "We previously belonged to the Sano swim club!" Rin told everyone. "I have a girly name, but I'm a boy." "I have a boy-ish name, but I'm a girl!" I said. We then started practice. "Man coincidence after coincidence." Rin said. "We transferred to your school and even ended up in the same swim club!" I said. "Yep, this is a surprise." Makato said to us. "Right Haru?" Haruka just dived into the water, ignoring the question. We then watched Haruka swim. "Wow! Haruka looks amazing, don't you think Rin?" I asked. "But I'm gonna be even better!" Rin said. He then went to the side of the pool and snapped the back of his goggles. He then dived into the water. Then Rin and Haru swan together. "It was like they're meant to swim with each other!" I said. "Maybe so." Makato replied.

"Man that was a good swim!" Rin said while we were walking out of the building. "Matsuka-Kun, Ibuki-Chan, the bike racks are this way!" "Oh, were running home!" Rin said. "Around three kilometers I think." Rin said. "I live right next to him!" I replied "See ya!" We both replied, starting to run away.

"Each team must decide what type of garden we should make and the kinds of flowers you will plant, and draw a illustration." The teacher explained to us. "Okay!" We replied. I was paired up with Rin, Makato, and Haruka. There was only one group of four due to unbalanced numbers. "Hey Nanase, Did you reconsider?" Rin asked. "Reconsider what?" Haruka asked. "Swimming in a medley relay with Rin of course!" I replied. "You interested for teaming up in the next tournament?" Rin asked. "I said I only swim free." Haruka replied. "You're so stubborn Haruka!" I whined. "Fine, you can swim free." Rin replied. "That means Tachibana has to swim breast or back." I said. "So we'll need one more person for..." Rin started to say. "I said that I only swim free, so don't include me in you're relay. " Nanase replied. "I said that you can do free!" Rin replied, raising his voice a little too high. "He mean we should all be free!" I said. "We should write our own messages on the bricks around the garden." Rin continued. Then people started saying of how great a idea that was.

The four of us watched Rin dive into the water. "Matsuoka-kun's kick is very powerful." Makato said. "He's so fast!" Nagisa said. "I know isn't he amazing!" I replied.

"Why is Nanase so obsessed with free?" Rin asked Makato woke trying to hit a can with a rock. "Yeah he's like, 'I only swim free'" I said in my best Haruka impersonation. "Nice one Hibiki!" Rin replied, giving me a high five. "I don't think it's because Haru likes to swim free." Makato said. "Why does he say that then?" Rin replied. "I never ask him, but I think being in the water fells the most natural to Haru." Makato replied. "Like a dolphin!" I replied. "I don't get it." Rin said before getting up and throwing a rock towards the beach. Is there a way to get Nanase to swim in the relay?" Rin said. "Why are you so obsessed with swimming in a relay?" Makato asked. "Um, well I have my reasons!" Rin replied

"I won't be attending middle school here." Rin said. "I'm going to Australlia. I'm going to a swimming school." "What are you trying to do?" Haruka asked. "I'm going to become a olympic swimmer." Rin replied. I could only stand there in shock. "Why didn't you tell us?" Makato asked. "What about the relay?" "I'll swim in the relay." Rin said. "I'm leaving the day after the tournament." Then he started to walk away. "So this will be the last time the five of us swim together." "I only swim freestyle." Haruka said. "That's why you have to swim in the relay." Rin said. "This is our last chance. Let's swim together Nanase. If you swim with me, I'll show you a sight you've never seen before."

I then jolted up in my bed. "Just a dream." I whispered to myself. I then felt something wet on my face. "But if it was just a dream, why was I crying?"
