Good morning. Good morning. Did you finish the homework the teacher gave us ? Asked a girl. What!! Did we get homework!! Shouted a boy shocked. Jeez are you trying to deaf me? Asked the girl. The match yesterday really was something, i can't wait to tell Tetsuo about it said Haruko as she smiled. But that'll have to wait because now I'll have to return these jerseys I've washed to the first years. Apparently they all didn't want to bring home their jersey in their bags saying that it was too sweaty. So i took them home and washed all six of them.
Kazue was opposed to the idea and tried using intimidation to get them to bring home their own jerseys however, as Captain its my duty to ensure that all of them feel comfortable with basketball. Im currently going from class to class in order to return them to their owner said Haruko to herself. I wonder what i should get Tetsuo for our anniversary. It's so hard to choose something because i don't know exactly what he likes, he never share these things with me. I don't know what im going to do said Usagi to herself frustratedly.
You look stressed Usagi out what's wrong? Asked a girl in Usagi's class. It's nothing really, I was just thinking about a gift I should get for my brother, today is the second anniversary of when both me and my older brother moved here so I want to buy something for him to show him my appreciation for taking care of me over these past few year replied Usagi. That's so sweet , what's your older brother's name by the way? Asked her classmate.
his name is Tetsuo Kawaguchi and he attends Toshigawa Academy. Wait did that girl call Tetsuo by his full name just now? said Haruko to herself shocked. Hey there did you say Tetsuo Kawaguchi just now? Asked Haruko. Yes I did but why did you ask ? Asked Usagi curiously . no particular reason we played basketball with each other so when I hear his name I was kinda curious said Haruko after she blushed.
Wait you're the girl he goes out with in the mornings to play basketball right? Asked Haruko . Wait how do you know that unless.... My name Usagi Kawaguchi his little sister . Ohh that explains it my name is Haruko Takahashi, a third year that makes me your senior.
You and Tetsuo are friends right ? Can you think of anything that he likes, today makes two years since we
moved here and I want to buy something special for him to show my appreciation said Usagi. There's nothing I can think of at the moment that he likes but if I'd have to guess I'd say it would have something to do with basketball said Haruko.
ohh wait why didn't I think of that said Haruko to herself. I can show you a place that sells all kinds of basketball gear and supplies after school if that's alright with you said Haruko. Yeah thank you that would be great said Usagi. great let's exchange numbers so I can contact you said Haruko as she took out her phone. Alright awesome see you later . yes see you later Haruko said Usagi. I don't know why but I feel as though I've met that girl before long ago, her face looks so familiar said Usagi to herself.
As class ended for the day at Toshigawa Academy the sound of basketball shoes rubbing on court could be heard in the distance. Hayato dribbles the basketball and shielded it from a cone that was substituted for a defender. Takahiro then sets a solid screen for Tetsuo allowing him to cut into the key. Meanwhile Running through the key Liam sets another screen for Tetsuo while simultaneously, Yukio cuts through the key.
Tetsuo ran until he reached the opposite side of the three point line where Hayato passes the basketball to him and he shoots a three pointer that swishes. Alright great work everyone, run that play again but this time Liam will be the one whose scoring!! Shouted Nanaho. In this scenario Yukio sets a screen for Tetsuo allowing him to cut through the key whilst Liam sets a screen for Hayato.
Hayato then dribbled to the hoop and passes the basketball to Liam who jumped and dunked the basketball.
Great work , run that play once more, this time with Yukio scoring instructed Nanaho. Training has been running real smoothly lately, I can't wait for our first match , it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it . This one will make a hundred made layups with my left hand said Shino as he gathers his breath, dribbles to the rim and shoots a layup that swooshed.
I'm finally finished, now I have to do two hundred and fifty dribbles with my left hand and five hundred with my right said Shino as he prepared himself. Noboru was running with the girl's track team in order to boost his stamina.
Ever since that foreigner Liam joined the team, I don't get to practice at all with them lately, that can only mean that I'm not one of the starting members , this sucks said Noboru frustratedly as he increased his pacing.
Wow, Noboru really has adjusted to training with the girls that runs the eight hundred meters race, he really is something isn't he said a female sprinter as she watches him. Yeah he's really committed to his training replied another. If anything he's just thick headed and stubborn and why did he have to kiss me on my forehead the other day, that really caught me off guard wait what am i thinking!! said Naomi to herself as she blushes slightly.
I heard that Liam quitted the track team gossipped a track girl. For real? That's so shocking, he was really dedicated to his training more than anyone else. Yes and he's now playing on the basketball team informed another girl. Well, I believe that basketball suits him he's tall and vertically athletic, he'd be more impactful playing basketball than running said Naomi. That's true, I hope that he'll do great in that sport said a girl.
Makoto woke up to the sound of the wind blowing. He yawned got up and realized that he was still at school. Wow am i still at school, I didn't even realize that I was here but that sleep was good though said Makoto as he yawns and stretched. He then closed the classroom. Well then , time to go home I guess he said to himself as he packed his bag .
As he was about to leave he pumped into Hayami. Oh Makoto, what are you still doing at school? Perfect timing, hands these papers to the president of the literature club for me please then you can go wherever you want said Hayami-sensei.
Really? Why choose me of all person? Asked Makoto. Just shut up and do what I say said Hayami with a cold glare as she walked off. This is such a pain, that teacher is really getting on my nerves said Makoto. Here you go, Hayami-sensei told me to drop these off. No response, that's disrespectful, well not that I care for one anyway said Makoto to himself as he left.
I have to go get my bag then get the hell out of here before she comes back he said to himself as he hurriedly went back to the classroom. He bumped into Sachiko who was about to enter the class. Wait, you're Makoto Kurai right? Asked Sachiko. Yes, I am. Good , I need a favor, I was on clean duty today however I have a student council meeting that I need to attend, could you fill in for me please , I'll take over for you when its your turn.
sigh, yes it's not like I have anything better to do. Thanks, I really appreciate it, also be sure to empty that bin said Sachiko as she left. This is such a pain, next time I'll be sure to stay awake for my last session Makoto said to himself as he emptied the trash. That's the last of it, alright then time to go home Makoto said to himself as he bumps into someone.
Watch where you're going punk. Wait, well, well,well look who we got here , I never thought that I'd see your sorry face again, Makoto Kurai said the person as he smirked.
No way, Daichi and Hidesuke, Basara these guys are my teammates from junior high school said Makoto to himself shocked.
