Swimming

Almost a week has passed since the school has started. I have gotten into the habit of doing yoga, workout and running in the morning.

Sakura is really blessed by her genetics. Afterall, all her fat goes to certain places.

Well, by the time of sports festival, I shouldn't be dragging everyone down.

After finishing my workout, which was barely anything since I am so weak, I went back to my room to prepare for school.

Ah... today is the swimming class.

While I don't really have anything against wearing swimsuit in front of a large number of people, given that I have done that as a background dancer in the flop movie I once got a role in, I definitely don't want to be stared at too much.

Sigh... I can't do anything about it. Afterall, I do need to learn swimming, not just naturally float in the water.

Packing my swimsuit as well, I headed to the class.

I have been stalking Kushida's location, and I have come to know that she often goes to the rooftop after everyone leaves the school.

She must have been frustrated that she can't compete with me in popularity.

I just need some guy to stumble upon her at the perfect time, have her threaten him, and report her with a video recording.

Well... that can wait until I release the song. Music club has been really helpful in recreating the song as I know, and tomorrow will be the recording and uploading on YouTube.

I encountered Kushida on the lift.

...

"Good morning Kushida-san."

"Good morning, Sakura-chan!"

The lift ride felt really long with all the blabbering Kushida was doing.

"Hey Sakura-chan, can I join you in jogging?"

"Sure."

She wants to find some sort of dirt on me huh.

"Hey, are Ayanokoji and Horikita a couple?"

I asked about this in small talk. There has been a rumour flying around about this. And most probably due to Kushida.

A bitchy loner with a gloomy loner? What a way to isolate Horikita, along with constantly bugging her everyday to have lunch with her. And Horikita probably realizes that Kushida hates her.

I ignored her happy ramblings about her feeling something between the two even though they have denied it on being asked about it.

"Oh Matsushita-chan! Good morning!"

As Matsushita came to the lift, I greeted her with enthusiasm and started talking to her, finally being able to shrug off Kushida as we walked together to the class.

"Umm... If I can be honest... can you help me with Japanese, Matsushita-chan?"

I found help for maths on YouTube by the huge number of Indian teachers, and history will be manageable due to memorizing.

But... Japanese is hard. Even though I have memories of living in Japan and am fluent in speaking. The Kanji and the meaning behind poems and such make my brain hurt.

And brain isn't supposed to feel any pain.

"Huh? I am not very good at it myself-"

Liar.

"-but sure, if I am able to help!"

"Thank you! I will never forget this debt!"

"Then treat me some sweets, okay?"

"Sure."

We arrived at the classroom, and I hugged Inogashira the moment I saw her.

"Thank you for modifying my dress! You are a genius, Inogashira-chan!"

I got some dresses for myself for the music video and concert, and had Inogashira do some fitting and decorate them a bit to fit me. Of course I paid her too. 1K, but will pay her more once I myself get good enough money.

Laptop, dresses, karoke mic, camera, renting the gymnasium this Sunday... I have only around 10K points left.

Sigh... I will have to eat free meals from now on.

I hope I can earn good amount of points this Sunday...

"Good morning, Ike!"

"Good morning, Yamauchi!"

My eyes twitched as I saw those two being overly excited. It seems that Yamauchi has forgotten what happened just some days ago.

Ike and Yamauchi were talking loudly, about seeing girls in swimsuit, and breast sizes of the girls.

I stared at Sotomura approaching the pervert group, and then smiled at him. But my eyes weren't smiling.

I mouthed the sentence 'Join them and I will kill you'.

He got scared and went back to his seat.

"Huh!? Why did you go back Doctor?"

"I-I am not interested in your activities!"

He shouted hastily as I continued smiling at him, and started gazing out of the window. Avoiding looking at me in the eyes.

I guess I can't really rely on him to do editing for my YouTube. I don't want to get cancelled.

"I wonder how guys like Ike got into this school."

At some point, Shinohara came and started ranting.

And, didn't she start dating Ike later?

Well, they are the bottom of the bottom, but not like we are some prestigious kids either.

Kushida didn't say anything bad about anyone, and probably caught me staring and smiling at Sotomura to get him to back down.

She must have started scheming something. Hmm... maybe I should get rid of her now. The sooner, the better.

Wait a second...

Maybe I can use her to teach Sotomura a lesson too. Killing two birds with one stone.

I am certain that he will never even want to glance at breasts again after touching that bitch's.

Alright. It's time for Kushida to go back home.

--------------------------

Swimming classes started, and I went with some of the girls who were willing to swim. 11 out of 20 huh.

As I started changing, I could feel stares my way.

"Sakura-chan, is it really just because of genetics!? Can't I do something to have them like yours!?"

Sato looked down at hers, and then mine.

"Don't worry Sato-chan. You look really cute. Bigger isn't always better.

The shoulder pain I get everyday is insane."

"Ugh! I have strong shoulders. I can bear the pain. I just need those melons... no. Watermelons!"

I shook my head in amusement, ready in my swimsuit. Onodera was also at the door, waiting for others to finish.

"Say Onodera-san, you know how to swim?"

"Yeah! I just joined the swimming club as well! Do you want to join!?"

"Umm, I don't know how to swim. I just float..."

"Then join-"

"I am already in two clubs. And planning to join a martial arts club as well..."

"Oh. That's too bad. There aren't many members in this school's swimming club. But, if you want to learn, you can always drop by!"

"Really? Thanks!"

The class happened, and I tried to ignore all the stares and Ike and Yamauchi shouting disgustingly.

The anime removed a lot of things huh.

I didn't know how to swim. I float automatically, but don't know how to move forward in a competition. I watched some YouTube videos, but in the end, I came last among the girls.

"Alright, you will have extra practice."

"Yes sensei."

I depressingly accepted my defeat, and looked at the loser among boys who will have to get extra practice.

Sotomura.

...Did he really came in last place because of his lack of speed, or intentionally?

Well... This makes things easier.

Kushida will be gone by tomorrow.
