Rie who was printing more newspapers sneezed. Looks like someone is talking about you said Yuri. You think so? Asked Rie. Yes i do but I bet.. Are you hoping that it's Katsuragi? Asked Yuri. W..wwwhat!, no I'm not said Rie as she blushes uncontrollably causing the newspapers to fly all about the club room. You printed his picture on the front page despite him not doing so great in that match, so it's obvious that you like him , it's a cool and creative way to try and make your feelings reach him , that's so cute said Yuri teasingly.
Please stop teasing me, I can't take anymore of this .The only reason why I put him on the front page is because he looked way better than the other persons on the team said Rie. So you admit that you find him attractive then said Yuri as she gives Rie a cheerful look. No , that's not what I meant, Yuri!! I'm just joking, calm down jeez.
Oh I almost forgot there is something I'd like to show you.
And what might that be? Asked Rie. Yuri then took out a photo of Shino and shows it to Rie. W.what!! How did you get this? Asked Rie as she starred at the photo.I took these during the match, I took about fifty pictures of him doing any pose i ask him to isn't he adorable? Asked Yuri.
Here are the best ones of the sets said Yuri as she shows Rie pictures of Shino smiling. These are so cute, I want them Rie said to herself. They're yours if you just admit that you have a thing for him. Why would I want pictures of him? It's not like I like him or anything said Rie as she looked at the picture and looks away every second that passes.
Okay your lost I bet these could sell for a pretty good price around the school. Wait, I want them blurted Rie as she covered her mouth. Awww finally being true to our feelings aren't we? Asked Yuri. Please stop teasing me said Rie as she blushes till her ears turned red. Since you're so cute I'll give you them for free here take them said Yuri as she handed Rie the pictures of Shino. Rie then immediately placed all of them in her bag .
The basketball team is quite the scoop this year, I look forward to reviewing them in the tournament. Try your best to impress me Nanaho and put on a show said Kanae to herself. In Toshigawa academy's basketball team locker room the boys were changing to prepare for training. I can't believe that we did so well against Yokonan said Takahiro as he puts on his shirt. You can say that again said Hayato as he tied his head wear.
For some reason I feel energized today and I'm ready for whatever Nanaho is going to throw at us said Takahiro.
That makes one of us, something tells me that Nanaho has something bad planned for me, I don't know why but I think she hates me. Both Hayato and Takahiro who heard Nobody started laughing. I'm being serious man, she's evil said Noboru.
Tetsuo, you were great out there yesterday, if we didn't have you on our team we would have been crushed for sure, thanks for joining the basketball team said Hayato.
Yes, I can't thank you enough said Takahiro. I'll ensure that we make it to the inter high preliminaries and beat Yokonan said Tetsuo. Yeah , let's do our best.I didn't do much in that match, but I had fun playing with everyone and that's enough for me. I'll improve as much as I can before our matches starts said Shino to himself as he tied his shoe lace.
Great everyone is here already. Nanaho will be here in a couple minutes, she was held up in class said Yukio. Thank god, I've been spared for a couple more minutes said Noboru relieved. Okay , so what should we do until she gets here? Asked Shino. It's been on my mind for a while now, when are we going to get another person to join our team. The minimum requirement for us to play is at least seven players said Takahiro.
I asked Kurai to join the team recently but he told me that he quitted basketball for good said Shino. Our team would have been set if we got someone like Makoto to play for us said Yukio. Wait Hayato, what about that tall foreigner named Liam Ainsworth? He's in your class isn't he ? why don't you ask him to join us? Asked Takahiro.
Yeah that's a pretty good idea, getting someone as tall and athletic as him to join our team would be a big relief said Yukio.
Believe me , I did try to recruit him, in fact I asked him this morning ,however, he refused to join because he's devoted to track and field said Hayato.Maybe if we talked with the track coach we could make him join? Asked Yukio. I don't think that you'd convince him to join through his coach, at the end of the day it's his decision and we have to respect that.
You're right, but we have to get serious about this because I want to play this year said Yukio. I wonder what we're going to do said Takahiro. Let's not dwell on not having enough players because that won't change a thing, all we can do now is work with what we have and make the best of it said Yukio.
Yeah , your right said Hayato as everyone started stretching. Okay, so before Nanaho gets here we will play a friendly three on three? Asked Yukio. You're speaking my language Yukio said Noboru. So how would we organize the teams? Asked Shino. I would say seniors vs freshmen but that would be a bit unfair said the captain.
I don't mind taking on the three of you said Tetsuo boldly.
Yeah I can beat all of you easily said Noboru. Be careful what you wish for Noboru said Hayato with a straight face. Bring it on we'll win easily. I'll shoot for it said Tetsuo as he shoots a three pointer that swishes. I don't know how this guy does it Hayato said to himself. Okay , let's get started.
