| Today was swim practice for Rika's class. While everyone else was excited, Rika was sitting by the small pool bleachers, merely staring at the water for what felt like thirty minutes. The whole purpose of this was to teach all the students how to swim, and all Rika could feel was nervous. This was mainly because she didn't know how to swim. Everyone else seemed excited, wanting to jump into the pool and have fun. It showed that some of her classmates knew how to swim. She and her twin brother Riko never learned how, but now that they were in the same class, he was hanging out with his male peers and looking just as excited as everyone else. It didn't seem to matter that he didn't know how, and she wasn't sure if he even told any of them that he never learned. Either way, she was here to learn with everyone else. Rika wanted to learn, but due to certain circumstances, she's been held back from doing a lot of things. Her powers. Spiritual awareness is different for many who inherit the power, but for her, it was definitely dangerous. So much so that spirits could literally be anywhere. That included pools, as there are always reports of drowning incidents, and the spirits of those victims don't always move on. That was the other thing making her nervous. So far, Rika hadn't picked up on any spiritual activity, thankfully, but she learned early on that there are far more dangerous spirits that can hide their presence from those like herself. To Rika's knowledge, the school didn't have any reported drowning incidents, so things should be fine today. Plus, she was the one who begged her fathers to allow her and her brother to attend school, so she couldn't keep hiding away in the background forever. Slowly, she got up from the bleachers and got in one of the lines behind another student as their teacher stood before them. She had her arms placed behind her back while she waited for her homeroom teacher to give them all instructions. There were two other teachers there too, with their students, but on the opposite side of the pool. 'They look excited as well,' Rika thought. |
