He hasn't even started teaching and I was so bored, if I have to sit through a whole school year with him I'll fail for sure said Makoto as he yawned. Hey Makoto, wait up! Shouted Shino. And here comes the other pain in my ass said Makoto.
Um, Makoto. What do you want this time? Asked Makoto after he sighed. Well, you see, I was wondering if you wanted to join the basketball team with me. I mean you're really talented you would definitely add to the team's strength.
No thanks, I don't think you have heard from your upperclassmen but I quitted basketball for over a year now and I'm not going to play again, I swore an oath to myself. B..but you played with us today and you seemed happy while playing. I only played today as a favor to you, not for myself said Makoto. I understand what you mean but couldn't you please reconsider, we really need you said Shino trying to convince him. No, I'm leaving now, see you around said Makoto as he left.
I don't know what to do to get him to join , what will it take? Shino asked himself. Thanks again , we hope that you come shopping here again soon said a cashier. That's everything on the list , it's time to go home said Tetsuo.
I'm home said Tetsuo as he took off his shoes. Welcome home big brother, I prepared a bath for you and I'm currently making our dinner, you can go ahead and take your bath. Thank you, Usagi. Sometimes I forget how young she is, she has grown a lot said Tetsuo to himself.
Well then I think it's about time I got out Tetsuo said to himself as he got out of the bath dried himself off and put on his clothes. Oh you're done, please sit down, I prepared your favorite today curry and rice balls with a touch of vegetables for a balanced meal said Usagi. Thanks for meal said Tetsuo as he began eating.
So how was school today? Asked Usagi. It went well, like any other day said Tetsuo. Big brother, couldn't you give me more details. Well, I met a lot of my peers who were enthusiastic about attending Toshigawa academy for sports and club activities and I also played basketball in gym session today.
That's great ,wait on that topic, did you signed up for the basketball team? Asked Usagi. I was asked to join by my seniors, but I turned them down. Why would you do that?
I have a lot of responsibilities such as my little part time job to ensure that we don't run out of money and you are my top priority. So as long as you're happy , I don't need to basketball said Tetsuo.
You don't understand do you, my happiness came from the smile you use to display when we were kids, you use to love playing basketball with our father and I would stand there and watch you laugh, smile and sometimes cry when you played with him. So you see , it's the same for me, your happiness is my happiness, so please join the basketball team for your own sake said Usagi with tears in her eyes.
But.. Didn't we came here to change, we are not here to dwell on the past, we are here to become better versions of ourselves. I want you to be happy like back then, so please just join, I don't want to be the only one that's happy , i want to see you smile every once in a while too said Usagi.
I understand, I'll give it some thought. So how was your day? Did everything went well. Well technically yes, I made three friends today , however a girl in my class seem to have a problem with me and it's only the second day.
Oh, I see , the best course of action is for you to avoid her so things don't escalate between both of you. I know, I'll be careful. I'm going to clean up now said Tetsuo as he took up the plate. No, leave it to me , go ahead and rest Tetsuo said Usagi. Okay, goodnight my sister
In the morning, the start of another school year sachiko knocks on the door of the student council room. Morning, is anyone here. Come on in Takahashi, I've been expecting you. I'm glad to see that you came, so you are interested in becoming a student council member right?
yes, I am.
I ran some background checks on all the first years and I figured that you are the most suitable candidate to become the next vice president. You come from a wealthy background, you were the student council president at your junior high school, you're beautiful, you're intelligent, people will actually listen to you and you're a critical thinker. There is no one else more suitable for this position said Yoshida.
However, it comes with a lot of responsibilities so if you're willing to put in the hard work and time that would be ideal. So then will you become the vice president. I will gladly take on this role said Sachiko.
Good,now then , there is a matter I would like for you to handle for me, think of it as your first task as the vice president. What do you want me to do? Out of all the students in their first year of high school there is this one guy that stands out, Tetsuo Kawaguchi, there is no background information on him but as we know he got a perfect score on the entrance exams.
Since both of you are in the same class I want you to find out more about him and also to convince him to join the student council. His input would definitely help this school correct any issues that may arise. So will you take up this task? Asked Yoshida.
How am I going to convince him to join the student council when I can't even hold a simple conversation with him . But, I have to do this Sachiko said to herself as she made a decision. I will do my best to convince him to join the student council. Okay, I'm counting on you , Sachiko.
