YOSEN HIGH, 9:42 am.

“Yoshio-san, could I talk to you?” Kaichou called after she slid our classroom door open. We were in a middle of discussing the events of the sports festival today; on who’s going to join in which sport and event. And did I mentioned was signed up for swimming? Great. And also a marathon? Greater. Note the sarcasm though. I turned to my adviser asking permission from if I could talk to Kaichou. Of course Naname Suzune being the council president, he already knew about the council’s business today. And we’re busy.

“What is it, Kaichou?” I asked as I stepped out of our classroom to talk to her. She raised her fist in front of her chest and looked a bit worried at first then her palms suddenly met my shoulders as they clamped onto it and Kaichou’s determined eyes met my startled ones.

“Yoshio-san!” she started with a loud voice. I can feel heads turn at the classroom door since we were just beside my classroom and Kaichou’s voice boomed through the corridors. “Is it okay if I leave you in guarding the basketball club?” Guarding the basketball club?

“Um… okay?” I reply raising an eyebrow, not knowing what the big deal is. “Is that all?” I ask as she started shaking me violently while thanking.

“Thank you so much Yoshio-san! You don’t know how a big help you are! Huwah! I thought I was done for but you’re here! Thank you so much!” K-K-Kaichou! I grabbed hold of her arms and removed from shoulder, stopping her from her violent shaking of my body. She apologized immediately. “Sorry! And thank you so much, Yoshio-san!” she finished with a bow as I scratched the back of my neck.

“Uh, you’re welcome. But… what’s the purpose of guarding the basketball club for?” I asked with her lifting her head.

“Ah, well, some students here in Yosen High haven’t been participating in their own class today and just disguise themselves as basketball club member. And since you have the list of the official members and also close with the team, I thought you’d be best for the job” Kaichou informed me with a worried look. “I swear, I don’t want to trouble you but I and the vice president still has some work to do, and we’re pretty piled up with paper work. So it’s such a big help, Yoshio-san”

“I see. Well, I’m glad I could be use of a help” I told her receiving a hug from her.

“Thank you!” she repeated again before pulling away. “Don’t worry! I already know the events that you’re in so I’ll send at least one of the board members to substitute for you while you compete!” she said and checked her wrist watch for the time. “Ah! I’ve got to go now! See you, Yoshio-san!”

I watch her run through the hallways in a moe way. Typical, Kaichou. I sighed and smiled, reentering my classroom. Mayu approached me and asked what that was all about and I told her that it was council business. Then, she started to fangirl about the basketball club having their marathon games for today and invited me to watch one of Himuro’s games. Um… no?

YOSEN HIGH, 11:04 am.

I was currently making my way to the pool complex for my swimming competition. It starts at 11:30 and the complex pretty far from the gym. And plus, I’m a slow dresser. My substitute arrived before I left the gym so there’s no need to worry for fake basketball club members. I heard a faded call from behind but I decided to ignore it but I was in a rush. I later discovered it was Mayu with Kensuke and Himuro running after me, holding a purple bag. Is that mine? “Hitomi!” I turned around as they stopped in front of me. “You brought the wrong bag!” she told me as I raised the purple bag I was holding which Himuro took and smirked at me. Wait, if that’s his then…

“Ah, thanks” I took the bag from Mayu, thanking her. I looked at Himuro who was still smirking at me who said. “If I didn’t look inside, then I wouldn’t know it wasn’t mine” what does he mean?

I gave him a suspicious look and turned my back at him before peeking in my bag. What’s inside this again? As zipped it opened a little, I discovered my underwear was on top of my extra clothes and swimsuit which means… “HIMURO!” I screamed and twisted my body to hit him with my closed bag which he dodged. This pervert! My cheeks started to blush and steamed escaped my head as I turned around from them.

“I-I’m going!!!” I yelled and walked away from them.

“Wait a minute Hitomi! We’re going to watch you swim!” No! I might drown before I even dive in the pool!

“Why did you suddenly turn grumpy Tomi-chan?” shut up Kensuke!

I continued blushing as the three followed behind me and I just ignored them until we reached my destination. Mayu and Kensuke went to bleachers while Himuro walked me to the locker room. I asked him why he’s still with me and he replied with a perverted answer. “I want to be the first one to see you in your swimsuit today” I swung my arm to hit him with my bag again but he skillfully dodged and ran away. “PERVERT!”

I went inside the locker room and slammed the door behind me. Enough of that American, focus on winning Hitomi!

“Ne, isn’t that Himuro-kun?”

“Really? Where? Where?!”

A couple of girls started to gossip as soon as they saw Himuro and Yoshio walked towards the girls’ locker room. They saw the cute little scene between the two that made others suspicious and jealous towards Yoshio.

“Who the hell is that girl and why is she flirting with OUR Himuro?”

“I think she’s in the student council”

“I think she’s Yoshio Hitomi from class B”

“Aika, isn’t she your classmate?”

“H-Hai!” a girl with long brown hair said as the girls glared at Yoshio’s back.

“That bitch, how about we teach her a lesson for flirting with Himuro-kun?”

As soon as I finished dressing up, I tied my long green hair in a bun and hid it in a swimming cap. I placed my purple bag on the bench and exited the room at the same time, a few girls entering it. well that’s a relief. At least I won’t be worrying about guys sneaking in the room to get a hold of my clothes.

When I got at the pool, my opponents were already at the starting line and I was the only left. I rushed to my spot and got on the diving board and waited for the referee to blow the whistle. After she did, I jumped from the board and my body came in contact with the water. Not to brag, but I’m actually a good swimmer. I used to be a swimmer athlete until my parents died and that’s where my swimming days end. I swung my arms in a free style stroking technique and move against the water hitting my skin. As I reached the other end, I gave a full force kick at the wall of the pool which made a strong boost as I continued stroking. I fasten my pace resulting to me being the first one to reach the end. I win. The crowd cheered especially Mayu and Kensuke. I can hear their cheers from here. I pushed myself from the water as a hand reached down to me that belonged to Himuro. “Good job” he congratulated me. I looked away but accepted his offer as he pulled me up from the pool. Damn, it’s freezing.

I started to shiver which I think Himuro noticed as he pulled me towards him in a hug, wrapping his arms around me. I pushed myself away. “Y-You’ll get wet” I say while stuttering as he chuckled. I can feel his warm breath brush my cheeks as a towel appeared from his hand.

“Here” he wrapped it around my figure, warming my body up receiving thanks from me and I blush.

“Hitomi!” “Tomi-chan!” Mayu and Kensuke ran towards us, congratulating me with praises. Good thing they didn’t hug me. Thank god I’m wet. “You’re so cool and amazing! The way you swam pass your opponents is the awesomest thing ever!” my best friend proclaimed her eyes sparkling in admiration towards me.

I smiled at her. “Thanks, Mayu”

Kensuke patted my shoulder.  “I’m so proud to be your cousin” he said, dramatic tears escaping his arms as his hand fisted proudly. Well, I’m not proud to be your cousin. Kidding.

“Hitomi, you should dress up or you’ll get a cold!” Mayu told me and pushed me to the locker room. We reached it but Mayu didn’t have any time to wait for me because she has a volleyball game right after my swimming contest and she had to go. Kensuke also bid goodbye to go back to his club and I told Himuro to go with him even though he offered to wait for me. They left me inside the locker room while I wait for the others to finish showering so I could own the locker room when they leave. I like to be alone when I shower. And no, I don’t sing.

I entered a cubicle and stripped down my clothes and hung it on the rack behind the door and twisted the faucet cap. Warm water blasted through the shower as it poured down my shivered body and heated it up. I love warm showers. I washed my long hair before rinsing it thoroughly, same with my body. I took the towel hanging on the door and wrapped it around my body before going out of the shower. I went to the bench where I placed my purple bag but I didn’t see it there. I thought I put right there before I left?

I looked around the room but no luck, it was gone. Someone must’ve taken it by mistake. Or maybe some pervert went in when no one was around. Damn it! My fresh underwear and clothes are in there! I peeked through the door seeing if anyone was still around but the coast was clear. I tiptoed out of the locker room and tried to look for a girl or a girl teacher so I could ask help in retrieving my bag.

I heard a group of girls laugh and talk from outside as they entered the pool complex holding the purple bag that belonged to me. “Hey! That’s my bag!” I shouted as soon as I saw it in one of the girls’ hands. When they saw me, I received tons of death glares and they started to walk towards me keeping those glares on their eyes. What’s going on?

“Well, well, well, what do we have here? It’s the bitch seducing our Himuro” What? Bitch seducing Himuro? I-I’m not!

“What are you talking about? I’m not!” I denied but the girl leader just slapped me.

“Don’t talk to me you slut! Stay away from my Himuro!” she pushed me down the floor as her minions grab hold of my limbs. What are they doing?! I saw the leader smirk evilly and pulled out her phone and I faced it towards me as they pushed me down the floor. I heard snapping. What is she doing?!

Himuro walked with his senpai back to the gym when they passed by a group of girls laughing and talking. They chorused a hi to him and he politely greeted back noticing a purple bag in one of the girls’ hands. He recognized it making him stop on his tracks.

“What’s wrong, Himuro?” Fukui asked, turning around him.

He glanced at his senpai from the clique. “It’s nothing senpai. I just forgot to tell Hitomi something. I’ll be back. You go ahead” he said as Fukui sighed.

“Fine. Keep your love to yourselves. See ya” he nonchalantly waved his hand and went ahead.

Himuro hurried back to the pool complex and heard Yoshio scream. “Hitomi!” he exclaimed and saw the poor girl clamped down the cold floor only wearing a towel. He saw the leader of the group snapping pictures of the almost naked girl as he heard her beg stop.

“S-Stop it!” Yoshio pleaded, struggling from the girls’ grip.

“Shut up you bitch!” one of the girls’ slapped her and smirked. “You’re lucky we didn’t remove that towel. Or should we?” all of them looked at her evilly as one was about to pull it off when Himuro screamed.

“HITOMI!”

I heard someone scream my name as I turned to see Himuro rushing over us. What’s he doing here? He grabbed the phone from the girl who was snapping pictures and slammed it on the ground, breaking it. He looked mad. “Hitomi!” the girls’ released me and walked away when Himuro came helping me up. “Are you okay?” he asked worriedly and cupped my chin, noticing the slap marks on my cheeks. I saw his eyes invade with anger as he yelled at the girls to get lost and told them to leave them alone. He looked seriously angry. I felt a bit scared at him and fell on my knees then started to sob. W-Why did that happen to me?

I felt his presence beside me and his jacket drape on my shoulders. “You should get dressed” he said handing my bag to me.

POOL COMPLEX, LOCKER ROOMS-YOSEH HIGH, 12:14 pm.

After I finished dressing up, I exited the locker room to be greeted by Himuro who hugged me tightly, wrapping his arms securely around my waist. “I’m sorry” he whispered softly at my ear. I closed my eyes as tears escaped.

“It’s not your fault” I assured as his grip tightened.

“Still” he insisted and I fisted his shirt and started to whimper softly on his chest. “Shh” he comforted me and rubbed my back soothingly. He was really gentle to me and didn’t release me until I calmed down from crying. We sat on the bleachers to rest as he asked me about the incident. “What happened?”

I flinched and fisted my hand. “I don’t know… those girls… just did that…”

“Do you know them?”

I shook my head. It’s like 20 questions of interrogation.

“I see. Don’t worry, it’s over now, Hitomi” he hugged me again and kissed my forehead. What’s happening? I’m actually letting him hug me. And even kiss me on the head. I don’t know. I’m just unstable right now.

I didn’t know why those girls did that to me. But I have a feeling it’s all because that I’m close with Himuro. Or he’s sticking always with me. I think they see me as a competition to him. Or a threat to their beloved Himuro.
