"Giant foam hand"
Mizuki yawned aloud as she checked her small alarm clock for the time. 8:41.
"Eight forty-one," she whispered to herself, slowly closing her eyes as she remembered that today was a Saturday - no school.
"That's right…" a familiar voice suddenly said. "It's eight forty-one and I hope you're not planning on ditching Nakatsu's game."
The poor Mizuki's eyes shot open at the mention of her friend's championship game.
"Oh no!" she gasped, looking at the clock again. 8:43. "Eight forty-three!?" she asked her clock as she sat up and looked at Sano who was waiting with his arms crossed, just about ready to go.
"It's about time you got up," he said, watching her as she hurriedly climbed down the ladder of their double-deck bed.
She rushed to the bathroom to wash her face. "Why didn't you wake me!?" she asked him, as if blaming him for her own misfortune.
"I have been doing just that for the past thirty minutes but you just kept kicking me and asking for another five minutes of sleep."
Mizuki froze at that, feeling more embarrassed than she already was. This wasn't exactly the answer she was expecting, but she blushed at the thought of Sano trying desperately to wake her.
Wait a minute. Is he serious or is he just teasing? she wondered.
Knowing that silence meant that she was either in deep thought or embarrassed, Sano bit his lip to prevent from laughing.
Finally being able to replace the thoughts of an embarrassed Mizuki with an enthusiastic Nakatsu, he let out a sigh and said, "Are you just gonna stand there and contemplate on the meaning of life? The game starts at 9, you know."
"Right!" Mizuki said, snapping back to reality. "Let me just change."
Five minutes later, they were out the door, headed to where the championship game was held.
"Sano…" Mizuki started. "About what you said earlier…"
"Don't worry," he interrupted. "I was just teasing."
Mizuki let out a sigh of relief. "Good!... Oh! And another thing…" she paused. "… can we get a giant foam hand on the way?"
A smile crossed Sano's lips and he said, "Sure thing, sport… I'll even get you two."
