Disclaimer: Prince of Tennis does not belong to me.

Hi there. My name is Serafina Daniels but most people call me Fia. I'm 15 years old this year and a third year middle schooler. I'm studying at Seishun Academy. You must be wondering why my name is different from the other Japanese? Well that is because I'm technically not Japanese. I was actually born in England and moved to Japan when I was 2 years old because my dad received a job offer over here.

People always ask me whether it is difficult to adapt to a different culture.

To be honest, it wasn't that difficult because I moved here at a very young age so when I was growing up, I was actually taught the Japanese culture and language. I always thought it was always harder for my parents because well they were older. The only thing that was hard is my different skin colour and I had an accent. Kids at school found me very weird and I didn't really have much friends in kindergarten.

Moving on, when I was 7 I joined Seiharudai Daiichi Elementary School. This is where I met my best friend Kunimitsu Tezuka. How did I befriend the now captain of the awesome Seigaku Tennis Club? Well, I was really bad in my studies and my teacher paired me up with him so he can actually helped me my studies. So that is how the friendship developed. Tezuka was not the most talkative person and he was very strict but he was a definitely a good listener. He is also one of the very rare numbers of people that I trust.

'Tezuka...Do you think I'm annoying?' I asked, while walking home together after school one day.

'No' he said, without even making eye contact.

I smiled at his answer and gave a small punch on his arm.

He flinched a little at the pain. I laughed at his reaction.

'You should stop being so uptight in front of that face of yours take a break from all the frowning'' I said cheekily.

'You're talking alot today aren't you', Tezuka said again with strict face.

'I'm just worried my friend here is going to end up looking like a 40 year old even before he graduates high school,' I said.

'I think you should be more worried about your own grades than my face.' he said with a tone of sarcasm.

I gasped.

'Mou...you're so mean!' I said while puffing my cheeks.

'Oh..by the way, where are we going? This is not the way home,' I asked,confused.

'There.' Tezuka pointed at the street courts.

We walked to the tennis was already dark and the stars are already shimmering in the dark was beautiful sight.

'You didn't tell me we're going to play tennis today' I said,with my hands on my waist.

'Oh really, I thought a certain friend of mine wanted me to learn how to let loose,' he said with a small grin on his face

He threw me a racket and walked over to the courts.

'Come on..Let's see if you have improved,' he said

'Oh Tezuka...I will make sure you eat your words!'' I said,getting ready to serve.

We played a one set match with Tezuka winning of course. I was huffing and and panting.I felt like my heart was going to burst any minute.

'Are you ok?' Tezuka asked handing me a towel.

'Y..eah' I said with much difficulty.

'Come on,let's go and get ice cream and then I'll send you home.' he said giving me a helping hand.

I smiled and gave him my hand and left the courts with him.
