Sato boarding school used to be a peaceful small school. Now there are much more students on campus and that means more rumors are to be spread. These rumors spread rapidly with all the technology allowed. Now that mean rumors spread rapidly through campus, friends have become enemies. Now that this has happened the campus has been torn apart in many directions. Can this new year start off good or come off from the year before and leave the campus torn?

Aidan had his jeans rolled up to his knees and his lower legs dangling in the water as he sat upon the edge of the pool. It was oddly relaxing kicking his feet back and forth slowly, watching the ripples as they spread and grew across the previously still liquid. He was bored out of his mind.. His mother had only just got a new job, one that demanded most of her time and attention and Jacob, his stepdad had never had much time to look after Aidan. Hence the reason he'd just been sent here.
He had no friends and did that ever make the day's so much more tediously boring. He sighed loudly, blowing a piece of ebony hair up and away from his forehead before it came back down to rest in between his eyes. He went cross eyed for a moment, raising his hand to brush it away for good which was when he noticed that somebody else had arrived at the pool's edge as well..

Jay walked into the pool area. He saw a boy sitting there and decided not to interrupt him much. "Mind if I come and swim?" he asked softly as he slipped off his shirt. He was very pale underneath and he slipped down his pants into his swim trunks. He didn't get much sun, he didn't like to get lots of sun. He then walked over to the sides and slipped in the pool.

"Hn..?" He looked up over at Jay with the smallest of smiles curving at his lips. He himself wasn't in the water yet, but that might change if he got his jeans a little wet, "come on in," he grinned, wiggling his toes out of the water in what seemed to be some kind of miniature wave, "the water's not too bad.." Aidan is sly about some things, which is surprising considering how outspoken he usually is. So when he watched Jay undress he did so out of the corner of his eyes, humming a little ditty to himself the entire time.

Jay smiled. "Thanks," he said swimming over to him. "You want to get in?" he asked softly. His smile turned into a questioning face as he turned over and dove down to the bottom. He was planning on joining the swimming team but first he had to get better. Once he came back up he smiled again and brushed his wet hair off his face.

Aidan contemplated the thought for a moment, his cheeks puffing out slightly before he let his breath go in one fell swoop, "Sure," he grinned, shuffling back a little to pull his legs out of the water. His shirt fell away first, being thrown haphazardly someplace behind him and next he wriggled out of his jeans, leaving behind boxers that weren't swimwear but would do just fine. "If i start drowning i'm going to grab onto you," he pointed out as he slid his lightly tanned body into the water, "I haven't swam for years." And years.. Since the twins had arrived actually, that was five years ago.

"I'm sure you'll swim fine, I mean years isn't that long, I'm going to join the swim and dive team for diving so I have to practice up, this is my last year here now," Jay smiled. He went back under and stayed under swimming around this time down at the bottom. He grabbed some rings down at the bottom that they pool kept for fun and soon went back to the top. "You want to play?" he asked.

"I don't think i'm going to join any teams," He spoke quickly before Jay dove beneath the water. Aidan kicked water for a while, his arms moving rythmically in order for him to keep his head above the surface. He has no fears about going under, he just doesn't like getting his hair in his face too much. He bobbed under the water though, his eyes clenched closed even as he resurfaced. He used his hands to run through his hair, pushing it away from his forehead just as Jay resurfaced holding a few rings. "Play what?" He asked curiously, kicking himself a little closer, "what's your name by the way?"

"I'm Jay, and to play, I throw these rings to different parts of the pool and you have to go get them," Jay told him, "or we can swim and just swim." He smiled wide as he moved his hair out of his eyes once again. "Sometimes when I'm alone here I throw just the rings, get on the high dive and then practice my dives by aiming for the rings," he said.
He looked up at the high dive, "it's fun up there, a little nerve racking, but fun," he said, "makes once you get the points for the dive you did makes it all worth it," he told him.

"I'm afraid of heights," Aidan informed Jay with a sheepish grin as he continued to kick water, "anyway, from that height i'd probably end up doing something really ungraceful, like a massive bellyflop." A story his friend had told him once always haunted him. About somebody inexperienced diving from a high board and the impact on their stomach splitting it open. The thought was enough to put him off for life.
"I'm Aidan," he grinned, banishing mental images from his head for the time being, "and sure, i'll play, just chuck 'em all in.. You're going to be going after them too, right?"

"Of course," Jay said climbing out of the pool. "And how about I throw them from the high dive first and then dive in and you can also tell me how the dive was," he said. He climbed up the high dive. "See I've been practicing and I'm hoping to get on the team this year, and if I do my sister said she'd come to all the meets," he called to him.
Once he got on the high dive he took the rings and threw them into the pool in different directions. Then he jumped slightly and then got into position to do a twist dive. The dive would consist of him jumping off the platform and twisting his body. And he did so, his body twisted in a counter-clockwise rotation as he kept his body straight and soon reached the water and swam back up.
"What'd you think of that, was it good?" he asked ready for any criticism on the dive. He thought he didn't do so well but Aidan might have thought differently. His sister had said he did good all summer but he wasn't so sure of himself maybe an unbiased answer would help.
