Those eyes, I've seen them somewhere. Where have I seen them before said Tetsuo to himself as he tried to remember. Are you listening to me? Or are you deaf, I said move and quit staring at me like that said the girl in an insulting tone. I'm sorry for staring is just that your eyes looks like they have a tragic story behind them, I was just a bit curious about them that's all.
They remind me so much of mine because there's no real depth to them just a dark, endless , hollow pit said Tetsuo. Oh really now, that's the strangest thing I've ever heard in my life that is assuming that something bad happened to me just because it did to you said the girl bluntly. That's not what I was implying but basically yes. Sorry to have disturb you during your reading, I'll leave don't worry said Tetsuo as he walked off.
Wait said the girl to Tetsuo as he stopped and turned around. What's your name? Asked the girl. My name is Tetsuo Kawaguchi, a first year in class 1T he replied. Oh, well that explains why you aren't in the least bit startled by me. My name is Tomoe Yukimura, a second year in class 2o and also the president of the literature club said Tomoe.
Say, Kawaguchi have you ever heard of me before? What do you mean? Asked Tetsuo. You know gossips and rumors. Other than the time I bumped into you in the hallway this is the second time we have met so no. Okay, that comforting to hear. When you have time you can stop by the literature club if you want to read some books said Tomoe.
That's fine, I wouldn't want to disturb you, you look peaceful this way said Tetsuo as he left. Upon returning back to the class Tetsuo sees his classmates racing each other in a mixed race and to nobody's surprise Naomi easily beats everyone. Whoa Naomi that's ten point one second that's a new record said her friend.
What? Really, I wasn't taking the race seriously so how did that happen said Naomi.
You guys are fools for making her beat you said Noboru as he, Shino, Makoto and a group of other boys from class 1T walked over. Oh really Noboru and I suppose that you can outrun me? Asked Naomi.
You bet I can, I don't know why their making a big deal out of it, I can easily outrun you if I please. Then by all means Noboru step behind the line said Naomi as she smiled. Are you guys ready? Asked Sachiko. On your mark, get set, go!! Shouted Sachiko as both Noboru and Naomi took off in the hundred meter race.
Even before reaching half way through the race it was clear that Naomi was going to be the winner. After accelerating she started gaining some distance on Noboru and then she crossed the finish line as the victor. Well, that was expected said a girl in class 1T who is on the track team. Yeah it was said a boy. Not that I'm bragging or anything but you'll need more than a lifetime of training before you can outrun me said Naomi with confidence.
That was just a lucky run, I lost my footing that's all said Noboru as he breathes heavily with his hands on his knees. Looks like you need more training with the track team because your stamina is still non existent said Naomi. Why you...I wonder where Tetsuo went, I haven't seen him for a while now said Sachiko to herself.
Hey Morioka are you good? All you been doing is reading all day, come on let's go join them for a jog said a girl from 1T. That's okay, I don't mind being up here alone, I enjoy reading in any spare time I have said Rie. Okay, suit yourself said the girl as she ran off and left. And besides, he's down there and i can barely look him in the face because when I'm around him i feel weird said Rie as she looked at Shino.
Maybe the reason why you beat me is because you have more muscles than I do, not lady like at all said Noboru as he smirked. Well maybe your just so much of a wimp that you think of me as having more muscles said Naomi. Alright guys, calm down I know how we can settle this once and for all said a girl.
And what do you have in mind Miyu? Asked Sachiko. We can let the fastest girl race against the fastest guy and let's see how that turns out said Miyu. We already know that Naomi is the fastest but how would we know whose the fastest guy in our class? Asked Sachiko. That's simple we let them race and see said Miyu.
What's happening over here? Asked Tetsuo. Oh, Tetsuo , they want us to race against each other to see which one of us will be running against Naomi. Oh, I see well I'll just get change and go back to class said Tetsuo. Wait and where the heck do you think that you're going Kawaguchi? Asked Naomi. I want to especially run against you so don't you dare chicken out.
Well since you already called him out you might as well race against him, right Tetsuo? Said Makoto. Fine said Tetsuo as he sighed and went to the line. On your mark, get set go!! Shouted Miyu as both Tetsuo and Naomi to off. They both were neck at neck about half way through and the boys were cheering on Tetsuo. Come on dude you can do it!! They Shouted.
While the girls screamed " you got this Naomi"! As they approached the finish line Naomi noticed that Tetsuo was slipping away. What? He's moving way faster than me she said to herself shocked. To everyone's surprise Tetsuo crossed the line two tenths of a second before Naomi.
No way!! He actually beat her said the girls shocked. That's what I'm taking about Tetsuo, putting your basketball speed to good use and showing her who's the boss said Noboru as he pat's him on the back. I would have never imagined that Tetsuo could have beaten Naomi he's really something said Sachiko to herself.
That was amazing Tetsuo, you're really fast, it's a shame that you're playing basketball instead of running, why don't you join us next year? Asked Naomi. No way!! He's off limits, this guy will be our key to victory and we need all the years outta him said Noboru.
