As the final school bell rung Tetsuo, Noboru, Shino and Makoto made their way to the indoor basketball court. I'm so sore, i shouldn't have pushed myself so hard in the PE session we had yesterday said Noboru as he massages his shoulder. Yeah my legs feel so heavy to the point where i can barely move, i even fell asleep during fourth period today said Shino.
Quit your complaining, it's just apart of the process of getting better said Makoto as he yawned. You're one to talk you skipped training yesterday just so you can get more sleep, plus you look more worn out than the both of us you lazy punk said Noboru. Hey don't lump me into same category as you. All i know is that Nanaho is going to force you to make up for the day you missed and trust me it's brutal, she's really crazy when it comes to basketball she's a obsessed creep said Noboru.
Oh really now, I'm a crazy, obsessed creep, is that so said Nanaho with a deadly smile as she stood behind Noboru. Oh shit, im so dead said Noboru as Nanaho slaps him on the head. You better be ready for training today, you're going to wish you never said those words. And that goes for the both of you as well. Especially you Makoto Kurai skipping training is going to cost you dearly said Nanaho as she hummed happily and skipped ahead of them.
That girl definitely have some problems said Makoto as he sighed. After changing into their training gears Shino and Noboru noticed the writing on Tetsuo's jersey. Wow Tetsuo did your little sister gave you that shirt? Asked Noboru as he tried to hold in his laugh. Yes she did replied Tetsuo as he look at the words she wrote.
It looks nice, really manly said Noboru teasingly. Don't listen to him Tetsuo,he's only making fun of you, but that's really a nice thing she did for you, it's really cute said Shino. You know what Shino is right you have a nice sister and with this jersey it's almost as if she right here watching you and cheering you on said Makoto. You're right, it really does feels like she here with me said Tetsuo as he gets a strange feeling that he doesn't recognize.
Damn you Makoto, ruining all of the fun said Noboru to himself. The first years then made their way to the court. Nice they are all here said Liam as he smiled. I see that you finally made it to training Kurai welcome said Yukio. Yes, thank you he replied. Tetsuo where were you yesterday? Its not like you to miss training, what happened? Asked Hayato. I was locked in the storage room after PE yesterday.
So you're telling me that for the whole day you were locked in the storage room, how did you got out? Asked Takahiro. I was locked in all night and the track coach was the one who helped me replied Tetsuo. And here i was thinking that you've became a bad apple, im so sorry to hear that, but you missed training but you still have to make up for it said Nanaho.
Why is she always trying to sugarcoat her words with her smile, it makes sick said Noboru to himself. Um Tetsuo, that's an interesting choice for a jersey said Nanaho weirdly.
Yeah I'm just noticing it, who gave it to you, your little sister or something? Asked Hayato. Yes she bought it and wrote these words on it as a gift for our second year of moving here said Tetsuo. That's really cute, you have a wonderful sister, is she beautiful? Asked Liam impressed and touched. That's weird on so many levels dude said Hayato. You have a very caring sister Tetsuo, just by reading those words I can tell that she loves you said Nanaho as she smiled.
She right, I have a little brother and that little shrimp always acts like he doesn't care but he's always interested in how my day was and basketball said Takahiro. Why are they making such a big deal out of it, its just a stupid shirt said Noboru to himself jealously.
Something tells me that Noboru is going to make training a pain today said Makoto as he sighed.
Alright so before we start today's session I want you guys to warm up, shoot around and do some layups because today is going to be fantastic said Nanaho excitedly.
At Hachioji Academy the girls were practicing their offense for their upcoming match. Suzume had the basketball at the top of the three point arc while both Sayaka and Kazue cuts through the paint. Suzume then signaled Kotone to set a screen for her while Kazue sets a screen for Haruko . She then immediately passed the basketball to Haruko who set up and shoots a three pointer. Unfortunately the ball bounced out of the rim and she missed.
Crap, whats wrong with me, why can't I score as much as i use to said Haruko to herself frustratedly. Its okay Haruko, don't think too much about it, today is just an off day said Sayaka. Yes and it's not like you didn't make any of those shots, you scored six out of the ten you took so hold your head up commented Kazue. She's right Haruko, don't stress about it, we have two more weeks to go before our matches start said Suzume. And just to add if you still feel unsatisfied with your performance you can always call that hottie Tetsuo and he'll train you up again said Kotone.
You're right, thanks everyone said Haruko. But i think that the reason why im missing is because I can't focus, what was my sister doing at such a late hour and she was with Tetsuo. I can't get the thought of seeing them together off my mind and the fact that Tetsuo might be that little boy back then . If that's the case then that changes everything said Haruko to herself as coach Maeda looked at her worryingly.
Yo Maki shoot the ball!! Shouted a second year as he passed Maki the ball. Maki then kicks the ball with all his might and it went straight throw the net. Let's go!! Shouted his teammate as they celebrated.
As the basketball team for Toshigawa was practicing their shots Noboru shoots a near jump shot that swishes. Shino went up for a layup that scored. Takahiro shoots a bank shot that swishes. Yukio drives and then pulls up for a midrange shot that swishes. Liam drives and slammed the basketball into the rim while Tetsuo was shooting three pointers. Hayato also practiced shooting three pointer so that he can get warmed up. As for Makoto, he just stretched and after finishing he sat down and started yawning.
Okay guys that enough you can relax now said Nanaho. The reason why I asked you guys to warm up your shot is because you'll be playing against each other in a four on four setting. Now that we have the right amount of members training will now better improve your growth rate for the upcoming season said Nanaho.
Will the four on four be for forty minutes? Asked Takahiro. No, instead of the usual forty minutes with ten minutes per quarter I'll be cutting it down to fifteen minutes a half which is thirty minutes. Will it be seniors vs freshmen? Asked Noboru. I was thinking about doing that however, I doubt the four of you guys stands a chance against Liam, Yukio, Takahiro and Hayato.
So instead I've chosen teams for this friendly game. On team A we have Makoto as the leader and on team B Hayato is in charge of formulating a plan. On Makoto's team we have Shino, Yukio and Tetsuo. On Hayato's team we have Noboru, Liam and Takahiro.
Okay we can definitely work with this team said Yukio. Alright guys just let me know when you're ready so that we may start this match said Nanaho eager to see how the game will turn out. Yes, let go win Liam!! Shouted Hayato and Liam responded with yes.
