Pool

Today will be the day for our first period of swimming classes. The boys like Ike, Yamauchi, and Sotomura are excited for this.

I dressed into my school issued swimwear. I noticed the guys who are dressing looking at me with red colored faces except for few of them.

"So you're really a guy huh, Amami." muttered Ike as he looked over my exposed upper body.

I gave him a good punch driving my fist deep in his diaphragm. That should knock out all the air from his lungs.

"What do you mean by that, I wonder?" my voice as deep as an ocean as I cracked my fists.

"Stop it, Ike is sorry about it!" screamed on of the boys nearby.

"That's right! Just spare him will you Amami?!" shouted another of the boys.

"Hmph. You better watch what you say or I'll beat you up again." I said leaving the boy's locker room.

There is a mirror just outside. I looked over my body. My height is 168 cm with 68 kg weight. My upper body showed well trained muscles showing my efforts from daily exercise. I have a slender build so I'm quite flexible too. My face also reflected showing me a beautiful androgynous face. Overall I looked like a handsome bishounen you often see in a Shojou manga.

"Not bad. I look pretty handsome." I said.

"What are you looking at yourself in the mirror talking to yourself like that?" a girl's voice suddenly broke my concentration.

While I was in the middle of admiring myself in the mirror, Horikita seems done changing into her swimsuit.

Her eyes moved looking at me from my feet to my legs, the hips, the torso, and lastly into my eyes.

"I might have misconception, but you're really a man aren't you Amami-kun?" Horikita said.

A vein on my templed buldged by her words. I was pissed off on just what she just said my face scrunched up, "What do you by that huh, Horikita?"

"The biological structure of your body seems to confirm that you're definitely a male human being."

"I'm wearing a male school uniform! Of course I'm a man! I even clarified myself during the introduction in the entrance ceremony, did you not hear me?" I complained.

"I'm not present during the introductions so your argument doesn't apply to me. But we'll, I guess I can finally accept the reality now that I see it for myself." Horikita replied.

"Accept it! Accept it even if you don't see it!" I said.

'Do I have to remove my clothes to everybody just to prove that I am a man?' I cried internally.

"I just realized that your muscle structure and build is more well trained than I expected. Amami-kun, do you exercise regularly?"

"Hm? Well yeah. I often get mistaken as a girl, so I decided to go out myself and workout." I flexed.

Speaking of appearances, Horikita, hm well what do I say? Not bad. If you ask me if she falls on my strike zone on the type of girls I am attracted to, she falls there hard. Her charm isn't about sexy erotic body or a cute adorable lolita type. Horikita's charm is mature and cool with moderate proportions on her body.

I noticed Ayanokouji getting out of the locker room. I waved my hands at him telling him to come here.

"Amami, so you've finished changing. No wonder I didn't see you inside."

"Well yeah."

This time, it was Ayanokouji looking at me.

"You're thinking something rude aren't you?" I said to him.

"No."

"Lies! I'm sure you're thinking I might look good if I wear the girl's swimsuit aren't you? It's written all over your face!" I pointed at him.

"That's amazing observation power Amami-kun. I could barely even notice the changes of his facial expression."

"If you have my face and sex growing up, it's only natural you'll pick up what kind a person thinks when looking at me."

"For real? Are you an Esper or something?" Ayanokouji said with an exaggerated tone.

The three of us continued our banter like this. The fact that we're talking like this in school teasing and joking with each other, maybe this is what other people call 'youth'

All my other classmates had finished changing when we're bantering. Kushida came to Horikita to chat, but she coldly responded not caring to continue talking.

"All right, everyone, line up!"

A macho-looking middle-aged man, the kind of guy who apparently devoted himself to sports, gathered everyone together and started the class. He looked like a PE teacher, but also seemed like the kind of guy who was attractive to men and women alike. Not the often ugly brutish type you often see in manga or anime.

"There are sixteen of you, huh? I thought there would've been more, but this is all right."

Clearly, some of the students in that count had ditched class, but it didn't appear to frustrate him. Must be because of this school's policy to leave students on their own discretion.

"After you warm up, I want to see what you can really do. Swim for me." the coach said.

The teacher asked us to swim fifty meters in one lap for a trial.

"Well, it looks like everyone can swim, for the most part."

"In that case, I'll have you start competing against each other. We'll separate groups by gender. Fifty-meter freestyle."

"C-compete?! Are you serious?" Ike cried.

"I'll give out a special bonus to the first-place winner: 5000 points. The student who comes in last place, however, will have to take supplementary lessons. Get ready."

The skilled swimmers cheered with joy, while the less confident students groaned.

"Because we don't have very many girls, I'll split you into two groups of five people, and the student with the fastest overall time will be the winner. As for the boys, I'll look at the top five finishing times and then move on to a final round."

Ohh, so the school also rewards points like this huh. It's an impressive move I'd say to motivate the students to win. In normal schools you won't get money just because you win a swimming contest in class.

Meanwhile Kushida immediately dominated the boys' attention. Any other girls couldn't catch up to her charm. If we're speaking by faces alone, Horikita stood at the top. But because she despised social interaction that much, her popularity plummeted. Though that doesn't stop the boys to cheer as she lined up to the starting line.

"Everyone, burn these images into your mind! Remember the fap material you see here today!" Ike cried.

"Yeah!" everyone shouted.

Somehow, swimming had strengthened the boys' bond. The only exception was Hirata the goody two shoes type, who seemed to avoid looking at the girls.

The whistle blew, and five of the girls dove into the water. Horikita was in the second lane. She took the lead at the beginning of the race and kept her distance from the others, maintaining her position at the front of the pack. She swam confidently, effortlessly covering the fifty meters.

Her time was approximately twenty-eight seconds, she was pretty fast.

"Wow! Awesome, Horikita!" The onlookers couldn't contain their praise.

Horikita slowly got out of the pool and went to the side, not even appearing out of breath. To the boys, results were of secondary importance. Their eyes were glued to the girls' jiggling butts. I stared at Horikita, too.

'Hmm.... Not bad... Not bad at all' I internalized my thoughts and feelings.

After that came the second race. Kushida, the most popular girl, was in the fourth lane. The boys cheered for her, smiling and waving.

"Whoo!"

Wow, those guys were really riled up. Some even tried to sneakily cover their crotches. I shuddered at that fact and focused on the contest.

The end of the second race is won by a member of the swimming club, a girl named Onodera. She finished in a time of twenty six seconds, making her the winner for the girl's category.

Horikita was second for her twenty eight seconds. Kushida being the popular girl ends up being in the fourth place for thirty one seconds.

Then came for the first race in the male category.

The first race is won by Sudou in twenty five seconds. He was even faster than Onodera who belonged to the swimming team by a second time difference.

It was my time to participate in the second race. The girls cheered loudly, I thought there was a celebrity, but no it was Hirata.

"Let's do our best with each other okay?" Hirata said like the good sportsman that he is.

"Yeah, I'll do my best."

When the coach blew the whistle, I jumped in to dive. I moved my whole body swimmingly as I traversed through the waters.

I ended up winning the second race in twenty three seconds, a whole two seconds faster than even Sudou. I'm currently the record holder for this class as the fastest swimmer in 50m freestyle.

When I pulled out myself from the pool, and climbed up I could sense the gazes of everyone on my way. Weather it was a boy or a girl. Though I didn't look around and focus on fixing my hair. When you're used to attention from other people, you get to pick up things like this naturally.

"So beautiful." a girl muttered. The others also nodded their heads in agreement.

The third race came with Kouenji. He dominated the race getting the same time as me. Although he was only a bit faster than me by a millisecond.

At the final race, the teacher called on the top 5 male students. It was Kouenji, Sudou, Hirata, me, and a guy named Miyake Akito.

The teacher blew the whistle and we jumped to dive. However in the corner of my eyes, I could see that Kouenji's form is somewhat disturbed and his dive wasn't the perfect elegant form he performed earlier. In the middle of the race Sudou got cramped on his feet.

In the end I won the contest with twenty two seconds of time with Kouenji falling behind in second place. Somehow Sudou managed to recover and get second place, from the look on his face he didn't really like to lose against the popular boy Hirata.

In the end, my luck rules.
