I was running, not caring about the rain that was falling from grey skies. After my parents called me, I had to get home as soon as possible. Returning back to Japan was the thing I was dreaming about for almost two years. Not gonna lie, I was happy there in States but Japan was my home and I had to see all the friends I left there. I turned another corner happy to see my house at the end of the street. As I opened the front door, I was greeted by my parents. I run up the stairs to my room. While packing my things, I finally realized.
'I'm going home'
First day in schol was nothing special. People trying to be friends with me or totally ignoring me, same boring lessons. There was only one thing that I was excited about. Clubs. Finding out there was a basketball club at my schol, there was nothing else to talk about.
Right after schol I slowly walked to the gym. A group of tall boys stood and talked about something. As I saw a girl with short brown hair, I guessed - from the way she was talking with the boys - that she was a coach or maybe a manager. When they finished talking and the boys started playing, I slowly walked over to the girl.
„Hello." I said quietly.
„Oh, Hi. Do you need something?" she asked still lookig at the boys.
„I would like to apply for the position of a coach or a manager."
She slowly turned her head to me and eyed me.
„Your name?"
„Soyokaze Shizukana."
„I'm the coach. We don't have a manager, but help would be nice. You can come tomorrow right after school." she said with a small smile. I felt like I saw her somewhere before. „Oh, I'm Aida Riko." she added.
„Thank you." I bowed slightly with a smile.
„I actualy heard about you. You came from the States, right?" right after she said that my face paled a little bit.
„Oh, yes. I had a knee surgery there. We were supposed to be there until next year, but my mother got a better job here."
„If I could ask, why did you have a knee surgery, Soyokaze-san?"
„Baskatball injury." I said simply.
We talked for a little longer while the boys played.
„Coach, who's that?" a black haired boy with glasses asked.
„Our new manager Soyokaze-san."
„What?" the boy shouted and everybody in the gym turned to us „manager?!"
„Yes," I said softly „my name is Soyokaze Shizukana."
„Hyuuga Junpei."
I looked at the faces that stood in front of me. I looked into the blue eyes that I saw countless times. Kuroko Tetsuya.
„Tetsu?" I slightly turned my head to right.
„Long time no see, Shizuka." he said monotonously.
Finally! I was thinking about writing fanfic for suuuuuch a loooong time. I'm glad that I finally did it. I'm reeeeally sorry if my grammar sucks. I'll try to upload at least once a week. Thank you for reading this!
