How to find your love

Chapter 1: How to find a manager

A door was slid open. Oishi stepped into the teacher's office and looked around until he found the person he was searching for. "Ryūzaki-sensei, you called for me?"

A woman around her fifties looked up when he said her name.

"Ah, yes. I want you to find a manager for the tennis club in a week. There is too much work for me to handle alone, it's tiring me out, also Tezuka is still in Germany, your broken wrist hasn't recovered yet and..." She paused and then snickered, a mischievous glint appeared in her eyes " ...I'll be able to have her (honestly, when is there ever a guy the manager in a sports manga) do all my work and even run errands for me..." Oishi shivered at the evil smirk that was on her face. "So, find one as soon as possible or I'll tell Inui to prepare some of his juice for you." She said and smiled, an intimidating aura surrounding her.

He assured her that he'd find one and then immediately rushed out of the office.

"What am I going to do now, how can I find a manager so fast? But I don't want to drink that juice ever again..." Thoughts like this plagued his mind as he walked down the hallway, back to his classroom, while Ryūzaki-sensei was smirking happily to herself. "Aah, he should find one very soon..."

Oishi sighed. Already two days have passed since Ryūzaki-sensei's request and he still had no idea how to get a new manager.

Eiji stopped practice and looked at his doubles-partner worriedly.

"Nee, Oishi, is there something bothering you? You can tell me, maybe I can help you!"

After Oishi explained his problem, Eiji stared at him for awhile and then laughed. "If that's the problem, I've got an idea! Just make a poster: "Seigaku's Tennis Club is searching for a manager" and pin it on the board next to the teacher's office, surely some people will notice and apply for the position." Eiji grinned at him.

A girl with black hair and bangs, sighed. Lunchtime just started and she found out that she had forgotten her bentobox, which had taken hours to make. She was really good at cooking and liked to experiment a bit. "Just hope it's still in the fridge..." She mumbled. As soon as she got her wallet to buy something edible, two girls stormed into her classroom, a brunette with locks and grayish eyes and a smaller girl, who had her blond hair tied to pigtails and looked at Rin with big sparkling hazelnut-brown eyes.

"Nee, did you hear, Seigaku's Tennis Club is looking for a manager! A lot of fan girls are applying for the position, why don't you go too!"

"Why should I?" She answered, obviously annoyed.

"You're good at organizing things, since you're always helping with the preparations for the school festivals and you've got experience with tennis. But the most important thing would be..." "...you can introduce us to the regulars of Seigaku without us seeming like crazy fan girls! And then I'll become Kikumaru-kun's girlfriend!" Her blond friend squeaked out of happiness at that thought. "And I can meet Fuji-san..." Her other brown-haired friend murmured excitedly.

"I have no interest in becoming the tennis team's manager; it would be such a hassle..."

"B-But you'd be perfectly fit for this position and you'd also do us, your FRIENDS, a big, big favor." Blondie said with big pleading eyes.

"I won't do it Rina, please excuse me, I've got to get myself some lunch." And with these words she left. "Aww, why does Rin-chan always have to be so cold, Shizuka." She asked her other friend while pouting. "That's just how she is, especially when hungry." Shizuka smiled.

Oishi sighed. He was doing this a lot lately. Well, Eiji's idea had a great impact, but a little bit too great.

The team's office was filled with fan girls screaming: "I want to be the manager" "Hey, I was first!" "I'm perfect as a manager!" Some even yelled:"I love you, Oishi-senpai! So let me be the manager!"

It took half an hour to make them leave and he also got some bruises because some of them tried to... grope him. He shuddered at that thought. He wasn't able to come up with something during the weekend. Now he'd have to ask Inui to help him, he should know someone suitable.

"I would recommend you Moriyama Rin. She is 97.5% suited to be our manager, as she's good at organizing and cooking, also she has a patient and calm personality and has played tennis before, and she even won some tournaments. She's in Eiji and Fuji's class. You should know here since she's helping out the student council."

"Ah, thanks Inui, you helped me out there."

"No need to thank me, I already have an idea how you could repay your debt to me." An evil smirk spread across his face and his glasses glinted. "Well..." Oishi shivered. "Then I'm off!"

He rushed away and reached Eiji's classroom. "Hey Eiji, do you know where Moriyama Rin is?" "Moriyama-chan? She should be in the cafeteria, why?" "I'll explain it to you later!" And with this he rushed away again.

Rin was sitting in the library, trying to do her math homework, but not very successful.

Her stomach growled. Before at the cafeteria, just as she had chosen something as her lunch, she noticed that there wasn't any money in her wallet, spent on chocolates and other sweets. "I'm the luckiest person ever." She thought sarcastically, while trying to concentrate on her work again. Rin was a good student, she was even under the ten best students at school, and there wasn't any subject where she didn't have high grades, well, except math- the only subject she despised. Her brain just couldn't do arithmetic. She understood everything, but couldn't do anything. She let out a sigh.

A guy came up to her; he had really short black hair and two strands of hair on each side. He looked nervous.

"You're Moriyama-san, right?" The girl nodded.

Thank god he had finally found her. He went straight to the cafeteria and found out that she already left without eating something about half an hour ago. Through asking a lot of people, he discovered her in the library. She seemed to have problems with her ...math homework.

"What is it? If it's about becoming your club's manager, forget about it, I'm not interested." Rin knew this guy, he was the vice captain of the tennis club.

"B-But we really need one, please help us!" She ignored him and started packing her books. „I-I ...I'll help you with your math homework, I'll tutor you!" He exclaimed, earning a warning glare from the librarian. "So, please become our manager!" He even bowed!

Rin thought about it: She barely made it last year and as far as she knew, this guy was a genius in math; she could really use his help... "Okay, deal, you teach me and I'll help you." She held her hand out and he took it. "It's a deal." She smiled. "You just got yourself a new manager."
