章 50: DESPERATE TO IMPRESS THE ONE YOU'VE LOVED
As Everyone was chatting in the class Noboru rested his head on the desk irritated and trying to get some sleep. Damn, they are so annoying, can't they see that I'm trying to sleep. Waking up so early for training is not an easy task said Noboru with eye bags under his eyes.
Naomi, the track meet is in two weeks , how are you feeling? Asked Sachiko. I'm alright, just a little anxious that's all, I mean its my first time competing on the high school level said Naomi. That's true, anyone would be nervous said Sachiko.
No I'm actually not nervous, just curious about my competition that's all, plus my new hundred meter record is ten point two seconds so I'm feeling really confident said Naomi as she smiled. Whoa, that's amazing said a girl in the class. You'll definitely do well in the race , so have more confidence Naomi said another girl. You're incredible Naomi, I'll be cheering you on from the stands so go break a leg, not literally though said a boy. Thanks everyone said Naomi as she smiled genuinely.
She's so cute when she smiles said Noboru as he gulped. Wait what am I thinking , I can't revert back to my old self, it would seriously cause her trouble like back then but I can't keep on lying to myself forever, being so far away from her made me so miserable.
So tell me Sachiko, what's it like being the vice president of the student council? It must be pretty amazing working along side Hitomi Yoshida , she's so beautiful and well educated said a girl in the class. To be honest, it's actually fun , however it's a lot of paper work, not only do we have to find ways to mitigate issues faced in the school but also file a report to both the head of department and the principal, its really tiring said Sachiko.
Don't worry you'll get use to it after sometime said Naomi reassuringly. When did the two of us became like this , we were much closer before said Noboru as he reminisced the past.
On your mark, get set, go!! Shouted a man as a group of seven boys and a single girl took off running around the track.Wow that girl is fast for her age said a teacher watching. The girl then passed out all of the boys and finished in first place. Naomi Nakamura, she surely has a bright future ahead of her said a man as he smiled.
She's so cool said Noboru to himself as he blushed astonishingly. Hey, you there what's your name? He asked curiously as he approaches her . My name is Naomi Nakamura and you? She asked. My name is Noboru Takemoto . Um, how can you run so fast despite being my age, you are even faster than the boys. Well that's simple, I'll be fastest woman in Japan and I'll be just like Shellian Fraser Pryce, just you wait and see said Naomi as she smiled brightly.
Whoa, she's so amazing. From that moment I fell for her, so I joined the track team as a means of getting closer to her but I wasn't athletic so I fell behind the others but just seeing her everyday was enough for me to not quit . After a while of hanging around her I realized how much of a baker she was so I decided to join the baking club she's apart of in order to try and impress her however I immediately realized how horrible I was at it so I quitted after three days.
In junior high, I kept up with my track training even though it sucked just so I could see her everyday however, she spent most of her free time after training hanging out with a guy named Takumi who plays basketball, she seemed so happy playing with him and it made me jealous.
So, I decided to take up basketball even though I didn't know a single thing. Eventually I got good enough after practicing and researching for a month so I decided to tryout for the basketball team and I made the starting lineup .
Noboru catch!! Shouted a player as he throws the basketball to Noboru who catches it and shoots a layup that swishes. Whoa, this guy's is amazing, he scored twenty four points already said a player on the opposing team intrigued. Nice one Noboru, I'm really glad that you're here we are by thirty eight points said the captain.
In the end, I scored thirty points just from running fast breaks and we won that game seventy three to thirty nine. All of my teammates were happy but I wasn't because she didn't came to the match to watch it somehow made me loose all of my motivation.
A couple of matches later we were playing in the third round against one of the best junior high school in the country. And that day she came to watch however I soon realized that it was not for me but the guy she hung out with, he was our opponent. Rebound!! Noboru catch !! Shouted the captain as he passed the ball which Noboru caught and scores a layup.
We scored the opening basket , however that was the only points we scored that game. The guy she came to watch was a monster. Scoring shots that your average junior high school student cannot even imagine. Dunking the basketball and taking our team for a joke for the entire game.
Never in my life have I felt so hopeless and outclassed, like I had zero talent or affinity for basketball. We ended up loosing a hundred and four to two on our home court. My teammates were devastated and I was too , however I felt it way worst because after we lost she was smiling and talking with that bastard, congratulating him on his victory.
From that day onwards, I decided quitted all the sports club I've joined it was all for nothing anyways no matter what I did I couldn't get her to notice me. My seniors wanted me to stay but eventually respected my wishes. I spent the rest of my junior high wasting away at school or at home doing nothing until one rainy day I got an unexpected visitor.
