Haruka's Point Of View

I hear a splash and a crack on the other line. The next thing I hear is the twisted laughter of Rin. He... did this! I'm furious right now with him obviously. But then I hear a voice say, "HEY!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" It must be Mikoshiba. I hear frantic running. But as this conversation is going on, myself is running towards the academy. I left Makoto behind... But I could care less right now. Mei is my top priority right now.

I hear more voices on the other end. "What were you doing with Mei? I could have swore I saw her with you Matsuoka!", the voice of Mikoshiba says. " I wasn't here with Mei.", Rin protests. Then I finally arrive there in the direction of where her phone landed. I close my phone and strip off my clothes to get into my jammers... I jump in and quickly put on goggles. I dive down and instantly spot Mei at the bottom to the 12 foot deep end. Her brown hair is floating around her like a aura...

I dive and grab her. I swim up as fast as I can. When I get up, I put her over my shoulders and lift us out of the pool. I lay her on her back and check for a heartbeat. I hear a very faint one. But it gets slower and slower. I know what I have to do... Before I do, I bring my ear close to her mouth. Nothing... I have no choice.

First, I start chest compressions. I grab my hands and place them over her chest and push down. I count in my head the amount of times that goes by... 28, 29, 30...I check breathing. Nothing...

I bend down and plug her nose. I then lift up her cold chin and connect my mouth with hers and blow twice. I check again to see if she is breathing. Nothing! I repeat the process countless times... but... nothing... not even a reaction! Her face gets pale and I immediately panic.

Mikoshiba suddenly comes back and he has others with him. They look like paramedics. But I ignore them. I repeat and repeat and repeat... Finally, after almost 15 painful minutes, I hear something come up Mei's throat. She flinches to the side and a handful of water comes up. She breaths heavily and fast. Her eyes don't even open.

Paramedics push me to the side and pick her up and put her on a stretcher. Yet, they aren't even hospital paramedics. They have a Samezuka Symbol on their jackets. "What are you doing with her?!", I yell. One of them look back at me. "Don't worry. We are taking her to the infirmary they have here. It is like a mini hospital. It was approved by the city and it is for members of the school only. She is in good hands. Come and see her later young man. But, I hope you realize you are a hero. Without you, she might have died." The man smiles and turns away to continue carrying Mei.

I slowly stand. Someone pats my shoulder and sighs. "I never expected Matsuoka to do this. I hear about it from a bystander of the situation. He told me he saw Rin going into the girls bathroom, and take a girl out and go towards the pool. Sadly, I arrived too late... But, don't sweat it Nanase. I'm sure she will make a full recovery. Ya know, she wished upon a star every night. Kind of cute don't you think? Anyway, Rin will surely get suspended of a while. And, he is off the team for a while. Actually, the rest of the season. I can't have someone like him with us. But for now, we just have to contact her family. Emergency contacts should be on her profile. We can go and get it."

I have no choice but to nod. I follow him down to the teachers lounge and as he asks for the profile, the teachers seems to have found out what happened. They all have saddened looks. Mikoshiba widens his eyes as he stares at the paper when we walk out. I tilt my head and take it. My eyes do the same thing.

"One contact. I will make the call. It's her father.", I say as I dial the number into my phone. It rings for a while then finally a answer is heard.

" Who is this?!"

"Um.., I'm Haruka Nanase sir. I have news about your daughter."

"Oh great. Did she die? I hope so. I want that. I have been for a few years trying to get as far away from her as possible. Her death is the best option!"

"What are you talking about?!"

"She is a nuisance to me. My sons death was her fault! She-" I hand up. I can't stand this... What is his problem... I... I have to be there for her. I can't concern myself with this guy...
