The sun light shines brightly and the breeze blew the branches of the trees in the vicinity emitting a cold atmosphere in the morning as the students made their way to school. Hey Naomi, good morning said Sachiko as she taps Naomi on her shoulder. Ouch! That hurt said Naomi in pain.
Eh? what's wrong? Are you alright? Asked Sachiko concerned. My muscles are aching so badly. Training was intense yesterday, coach was so hard on us, I woke up twice last night due to cramps. Oh, I see, you guys have a track meet coming up so that is to be expected.
Yeah, I guess you're right. If we want to put Toshigawa Academy on the radar in the track world then we have to win as many events as possible said Naomi. Yes you're right said Sachiko as both her and Naomi walked in through the door of class 1T.
Wait, does something feels off or is it just me? What do you mean? Asked Sachiko confused. Normally, there would be a lot of loud shouting . Which means that Noboru is not here. I bet he's skipping again, that lazy, obnoxious punk, well on the bright side at least today will be a peaceful day.
Kawaguchi isn't here either, I wonder what's the reason behind his absence. Makoto puts his hand to his mouth as he yawns and looked over Shino's desk which was empty as well. Good morning everyone said Hayami-sensei as she walked into the classroom. Good morning Mrs. Hayami replied everyone as they stood up and bowed.
You may be seated. Sensei , it seems that Noboru is absent as well as Kawaguchi and Katsuragi said Naomi. Oh those boys have a basketball practice match today, so they are excused for their absence. Wait, Noboru joined the basketball team no way!! I thought he didn't take it seriously and was just joking around Naomi said to herself shockingly.
So Tetsuo is playing basketball now, this is bad, how will I convince him to join the student council now, I'll have to take this situation to student council president Yoshida because I don't know what to do.
So Katsuragi has a match today, I really wanted to watch him play though , i guess I'll just support him from where i sit said Rie as she sighed disappointed. A practice match , huh, I wonder which school they'll be playing then again that's not my problem Makoto said to himself as he leaned back in his chair. Alright, let's get started on the lesson.
Today is the day my older brother finally plays his first game in a longtime, I'm so happy for him. In this game I know that he'll score at least thirty points and his teammates will make up the rest by scoring sixty points combined , making it ninety points. There's no way he'll loose, the kiss on the check I gave him will definitely make him win for sure said Usagi as she smiled while drawing in the back of her book.
Haruko is out today, I wonder if she have a cold. I wonder if she'll be able to meet up with us at the cafe today or should we cancel? Sayaka asked herself. The president of the newspaper club went to club room with Airi to gather all of the equipment to take pictures and recordings of the practice match.
Wait the door is already open Kanae said to herself as she opened the door to see Yuri relaxing and reading a book. Don't you have class right now Yuri? She asked. Yes, I do but It was so boring so I came here to relax a bit. Then you don't mind tagging along with us then, we'll be taking photos for our article on the basketball team they have a practice match today.
Sure I'd love to come, but what about Rie? She's a first year , I wouldn't want her to miss classes just yet said Kanae. So which school are we going? We'll be going to Yokonan high school. What's taking Noboru so long? Doesn't he knows that we have a game to get to said Nanaho frustratedly. I'm sure that he's on his way , he probably just slept in said Yukio.
Shino was shaking like a leaf due to the pressure of the upcoming match. To try and calm him down Hayato puts his hand on his shoulder which made a Shino jumped frightened by the touch.
Relax Shino, we are not even there yet, it'll be okay said Hayato. There's no need to be nervous said Takahiro. iiii'm not n-nervous said Shino as he tried walking but stumbled to the ground due to his nerves. He totally is said Takahiro and Hayato to themselves.
As Shino got up and chuckled nervously he noticed that Tetsuo manages to maintain his composure despite this being his first match.
How can he be so calm, isn't this his first basketball game? Shino asked himself.
Your savior is here, sorry for the wait said Noboru. You sure took your sweet time said Nanaho. Yeah, I slept well for the match. Honestly, I don't know what I'm going to do with you said Nanaho as she sighed. Since everyone is here now, let's go then. Wait for a bit said Tetsuo suddenly. What's wrong Tetsuo? Asked Nanaho . She's almost here. Haruko spots Tetsuo in the group and ran towards them.
I made it said Haruko as she made a sigh of relief while catching her breath. Yeah and just on time too said Tetsuo.Tetsuo you sly dog , I didn't know that you got a girlfriend, why were you holding out on me? Said Noboru.
Who is she? Asked Yukio. My name is Haruko Takahashi.
She's here to watch our match and learn something new, she is on the girl's basketball team at Hachioji academy said Tesuo. oh, I see, nice to meet you I'm the captain Yukio Hamaguchi, I hope you'll be able to learn something new from us .
Yes, I'm looking forward to it said Haruko. Don't worry Takahashi, when your done watching me you'll be flabbergasted by my skills said Noboru confidently. Shut up or I'll make you start on the bench said Nanaho harshly. You're joking right? no way, you can't be serious said Noboru as everyone burst out laughing. Well then, team let's go win this said Yukio as his teammates replied Yes.
