Tomohina Mizukimura listened intently on that Saturday afternoon. She was once again alone, but that seemed to be more the fault of her blindness than anything else. It took time, she found, to make friends. Most seeing people could con jour up more interactions once they saw someone they recognized from class. Unfortunately by the time she heard voices she recognized, they had wandered off and too far away for her to reach. Though on the up side, she was making extreme progress in memorizing the general layout of the school and its more important landmarks. She smiled to herself, reveling in the small victory. 

Another boon was also this place. The outdoor swimming pool. The swim club had finally finished its use for the vast cool waters and it was a prefect sunny day. In her modest school uniformed swimsuit, her rather delicate frame actually looked a bit more womanly than her usual attire led most to believe. Soft and still growing into her curves, she was actually less fragile looking for once. Standing at the edge of the pool, perfectly alone, she listened as the wind swept down and pushed on the water. 

Was she allowed to be out here? Well from eight in the morning to eight at night she was technically allowed, though she wasn't quiet sure what restrictions they placed on blind students. She was blind, it wasn't like she didn't have arms and legs to swim. And even students with out limbs could swim, she was sure. There was a girl in the swim club with legs after all. Stretching up she sighed happily. It felt good to not be so restricted by clothing. Making sure her long hair was still up in its ponytail she felt a foot at the edge of the deep side. 

How did she know it was the deep end? Easy. It was the farthest side of the pool and had a diving board. Oh. That was a good idea! She climbed up onto the diving board and edged her way out onto the tip. This was exhilarating! She had never been allowed on a diving board before. Her toes curled over the edge and her sightless eyes stared blankly down at the water. Grinning with excitement, she could feel her heart racing with fear and anticipation. Bouncing up and down slightly, she let out nervous giggles of exhilaration. This was terrifying! Letting out a high shout of terror and excitement she leapt forwards off the board.

It was confusing, to be so without hold in the world around you for those split seconds you were up in the air. Then her feet touched the water, her arms straight above her head. Holding her breath, she shot straight down in the deep cool water. Silence. Only the sound of bubbles tickling the water around her, lessening the deeper she sank. The feeling of panic as she floated in complete darkness, touching nothing but the weak willed water that surrounded her. Terror, panic, all so disorienting. 

Then, when she felt like her lungs were about to burst from the need for air, she shot straight up. Breaking the surface, she gasped and panted for air, letting out breathless, reckless laughs as she fought to breathe. Raising herself up to float on her back, she laughed softly. That was terrifying! Closing her eyes she floated peaceful on top of the water, sounds deafened and blocked by the clear coolness that held her up. The sun hit her and she felt her long hair float up out, slipping around her arms and neck. 

Her thoughts went back to that science class when she had been paired with that newly transferred girl and Kyle Parker. Hm… Kyle Parker… A hot blooded foreigner with a warm voice. She blushed slightly. Was it silly? Silly to think about that deep voice with this odd affection? Dipping under the water to cool her warmed face, she let out bubbles of embarrassed excitement. Obviously it was very silly for her to get so giddy over just the thought of his voice. Or the warmth of being close to him. Or the sound of his smile in words he spoke towards her. Silly, silly girl!

Shooting out of the water, she found her way back to that terrifying diving board. Dripping wet, she heard those droplets fall into the cool water below her. So close to hanging in the air, it felt just like that odd tumbling feeling in her stomach when she thought of him. So foreign to her, she had to jump again to spend all that adrenaline in her blood. And the cool water would calm her flustered blush. Putting her cold hands on her deeply rosy cheeks, she closed her eyes and made a small mewl of discomfort. It was unlike her to get so…so…so flustered! Tomo was usually so calm! Ah, silly, silly girl!
