1 - Round 2
It was the new school term, and much to the disappointment of Ryuuzaki-sensei, Kaidoh-senpai, Momoshiro-senpai and the rest of the Seigaku tennis team, I was transfered to Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku Middle School. Over the hoildays, I went along and had some crash courses, enabling myself to actually skip a grade after taking the entrance exam of Rikkaidai. In the same school uniform as I wore last year, I entered the school, legally. Other than the fact that I was disguising as a boy, with my hair cut short like Ryoma's though not that short nor spiky, and I wore pants.
Looking over the fence, the high school department was just over it. Trailing my eyes towards the high school department gates, there I saw Gen-chan waiting together with Sei-chan, Yanagi and Yaguu for the three almost 'latecomers', Niou, Bunta and Jackal. They were so going to be surprised if they saw me.
Checking out my class, I found out that due to some random twist of fate, I landed in the same year three class as Akaya. Seeing his name on the class roll, it made me wonder if he really did pass his end of years. Snickering to myself, I went to change into the indoor shoes and went to the hall.
We were supposed to gather in the hall in our classes by 8 o clock sharp, and Akaya made it barely, at 7.59, with a toast still in his mouth, his blazer not worn, tripping over his indoor slippers.
Stuffing the toast into his mouth, he plonked down a few seat away from me. He really had not changed, and neither did his hair change. It was still the seaweed head as last year.
As soon as the entrance ceremony was done, we were dismissed to our classes, and we took our seats. Taking the seat at the back corner of the classroom, I heard someone groan behind me. Turning around, I grinned. It was Akaya.
" Kirihara-kun, I'll give it to you," I said and went to the seat at the beside it.
" Oh, thanks," he said and plonked down.
Sitting down, there was a moment of silence between us before he turned over and went, " EH?" at the top of his lungs, pointing his finger at me.
Immediately, the entire class turned to look backwards, and they started whispering about me being the person who skipped a grade.
" You're mean, Kirihara-kun," I pouted, " I've warned you last year already," I said, taking out my books and placing them under the table neatly.
The seaweed head remained shock for a moment more before flipping out his phone under the desk, seemingly wanting to text the ex-regulars about me. Seeing it, I shook my head and said, " Let's go surprise them after school,"
Hearing me, he smiled and kept his phone away, grinning away at himself.
After the classes ended, I was called to meet with the Principal, whom I met, and he of course allowed me into the tennis club, male side. Taking my rackets, I entered the clubroom, using the key under Sei-chan's pot of dahlia flowers that were still there.
" Yuki-" Akaya said as I cut him off.
" Its Yukito for now," I grinned," I don't want to be treated differently." I continued.
Moving to behind the lockers as usual, I changed into the set of tennis jersey Sei-chan got for me last year, except instead of wearing the skirt, I got myself a pair of shorts. Emerging from behind the lockers, I went ahead and flomped down on the cushions available in the clubroom, taking note that Akaya was using the bag and rackets I got for him as a congratulatory present for being Captain.
Going to the courts with Akaya, we saw that there were a lot of people that wanted to try out the tennis club.
" Wah~ So many people~" I mused.
" They'll quit after a month," Akaya said.
" Ooh, confident aren't we?" I gave him a nudge in the elbow.
" Of course, I'm Captain," he said turning red in the cheeks.
" So, shall I offer myself and try out the newbies?" I asked.
" Go only thirty percent." he told me.
" EH~~~~ But its not fun~~~" I whined, attracting attention.
" Shut up, let's go." he said and dragged me into courts.
Seeing the other year twos bringing out the power wrists, I looked down at mine which was filled with the maximum amount of weights already. It certainly brought back memories. I sat at the sides of the courts, leaning against the wall, waiting for my opponent to be dispatched over, while bouncing the ball on my racket, doing some fancy spins I learnt from Kikumaru-senpai.
Soon, my first opponent came, and it was a rather boring looking freshman, who held his racket rather tightly.
" Ne, loosen up, you're too tensed." I smiled.
" R-right!" he said and got more tensed.
Sighing, I shook my head and did the twist serve. The ball sped over the net, fell to the ground and spinned for a while before jumping up at the boy's face. Shocked, he covered his face in defence, and the ball simply bounced off it. It was going to be a long day for me. At the end of the day, out of all the twenty odd people I played, only two were recommended, and those two recommended had played tennis before and knew how to tackle the twist serve.
" Seems as though to me I've been practicing serves only," Akaya complained as he looked through the application slips.
" Same," I replied stretching with a yawn, " Ne, hurry, let's catch our senpais at the high school gates," I said and went to grab my bag.
After locking the clubroom, we went along to the high school division, and waited at the gates. As expected, the group of seven boys in their own tennis shirts walking towards the gates. As usual, Bunta was chewing on gum walking beside Jackal, Niou walking with Yagyuu, Sei-chan with Gen-chan and Yanagi.
Seeing them, I smirked. Akaya lifted himself off leaning on the gates, and attracted the attention of the seven boys. Immediately, smiles spread across their faces, and they started approaching us. Stepping out from behind Akaya, the seven boys gave me weird looks.
" Akaya, whose's that new regular?" Niou immediately asked.
" Hmm? He's in my class," Akaya played along.
" Are you that sure about giving people regular places already?" Yagyuu asked.
" Sure, I've played against him many times," Akaya replied.
" And your name?" the voice I longed to hear finally spoke.
" Yukito," I replied, trying hard not to laugh.
" Yukito-kun, I hope you get along well with Akaya," Sei-chan said, ruffling my hair like he always did.
Immediately, Akaya burst out laughing, almost rolling on the floor, and crying as his stomach hurt. Seeing this, the seven boys gave weird looks, at Akaya, and Bunta went to poke him.
" Wait a minute," Gen-chan said, ignoring Akaya, and tilting my head up, making me look into his eyes, " YUKIKO! What the hell are you doing here? And this hair?" he screamed at me.
His scream made Akaya burst out into louder laughs, doubling over.
" Eh?" Sei-chan asked and took a look, " Yukiko-chan," he called shocked.
" Hello, I missed you," I grinned and hugged him tightly.
" But why?" he asked.
" I've transfered here, and skipped a grade. I'm currently in the same class as Akaya-kun. Also, I'm officially in the tennis club, male side," I grinned.
" Eh~ I see, welcome to Rikkaidai then," Sei-chan said and allowed me to cling on him for a while more.
Sei-chan: Uwahh~ Yukiko-chan transfered and skipped grades too? That's awesome * smiles *
Melody: I know right? * air of egoism *
Alya: Hai hai hai, we all know, as usual, reviews are a nod nod!
