"You won!"
Kagami dug his finger in his ear as Riko beamed at him, "Eh? What'd you say?"
"I said you won! Don't you remember?" He gave her a clueless look. She replied with a sigh. "We had that contest a few days ago, where we split into pairs to see who could score the most baskets. You and Kuroko topped everyone, remember?"
"Eh? 'Course I remember we won." He stared off, thinking back to the competition, walking down the hallway, getting ready to leave. It was the last day of school, the first evening of summer, and honestly, he could use a break from thinking about basketball for a day or two.
Riko huffed at him, "Don't you remember the prize?" She tapped her foot feeling frustrated. Not getting a response she belted out, "You won two tickets to the zoo!" The tickets were shoved into his chest, hard, causing him to stumble back and stare at the fiery, upset coach in front of him. She fumed, "And you better go! I worked hard to buy those are a prize!...and the other one is for Kuroko, make sure he gets it!" She stomped off towards the school lockers, hurriedly adding, "Haveagoodsummer!" before disappearing around the corner.
Regaining his balance, he smoothed his shirt and inspected the tickets in his hand. They were colorfully printed; a cartoon looking tiger smiled, surrounded by exotic looking jungle plants. The ticket read in bold exaggerated writing, "New Tiger Exhibit! Fun for everyone!"
He stuffed them in his pocket. A trip to the zoo didn't sound too bad. In fact, it might even be fun. It was exactly the short break from basketball that he needed and a good way to start off his summer, but more importantly he needed to use these tickets so Riko wouldn't kill him.
