~ koromi's POV~

" Hey Koromi, you know how I feel about you." Raito Toyaro looked into my eyes and whispers in, what he thinks is a,"sexy" voice "why don't you just accept me already? Then we can meet your parents and..."

"And what? You ask them for tips to improve your tennis so you can be a sure win for the place of buchou? No way!" I cutted in.

"Fine! It's not like you are that desirable. Everyone likes you only because of your parents' fame. Forget it, no one even wants you if it wasn't for your parents" Raito blared and stormed off.

"It's not like I don't know. Why do you people have to keep reminding me?" I leaned the wall and tried to hold back my tears.

My parents were the world famous mix doubles pair. They have never lost a competition before but they retire from the tennis world because they had me. Some of the tennis regulars ( males, of course) tried to get close to me hoping that they may make use of me to obtain tennis tips from my parents to gain the place of the buchou in that upcoming match.

I sighed and went into the school building to retrieve my bag from the classroom before slowly walking home.

"Tadaima" I said as I removed my shoes before stepping into the hallway.

"oh koromi, you're home" my mom struck her face out of the kitchen, smiling no, beaming at me. "Your father has some news he would like to tell you, you can find him in the study." and she went back to her humming while preparing dinner.

I headed over to the study, feeling very nervous, my father has never told us any important news needing me to enter his study, it was always in the dining room. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, "otousan?"

"Come in" my father's deep voice called from inside the room. I opened the door and walked in.

" okaa-san said that you got some news you wanted to tell me?" my palms started turning sweaty. "Yes, I wanted to tell you that I GOT A JOB!" my father exclaimed, almost shouting into my ear.

I stood in shock and understood how much this meant to my father. I was happy for him but... "Otousan, this job... where is it?" his smile faded a little. "Well koromi, it is in the kantou regions" my eyes widened in surprise, THAT'S LIKE AT THE OTHER END OF JAPAN. "You'll be attending another school there." he continued in a rush.

"When are we leaving?" I asked a little hopefully, as I thought the time that people was sucking up to me because of my parents are finally over. "we are leaving next Friday"

FF- Saturday

we are finally at our new place, I can't believe I am finally free

" Our new neighbours are coming today!" I shouted down the hallway. "Eiji, you are getting way too excited. You don't to scare our neighbours before they even enter the house do you?" mom scolded me. I couldn't care less, the grouchy old man from next door have finally leave and a new family is finally here.

Ever since onee-sans and onii-chans left for college and moved out, my parents have been concentrating a little too much on me.

My parents and I went over to their house, hoping to welcome them to the neighbourhood and invite them over to our place for dinner.

My dad rang the doorbell. "Coming" I heard a sweet voice coming from within the house. The door opened revealing a pretty girl in a blue dress.

"hi, may I help you?" she asked politely. "Hoi hoi, we are your new neighbours, nya~" I replied smiling at her. My mom smiled at her gently and asked "we were just wondering if you would like to have dinner at our place tonight?" "Okaa-san is a good cook, nya~" I interrupted.

She glanced at me curiously and returns her gaze to my mom. "I'll go check with my parents, Is it ok if you wait here a moment?" she asked. My dad nodded and she quickly turned back into the house. As she was still in her house, I was wondering, what's with that look she gave me just now?"

She came out a few minutes later with 2 adults. 'Why do they look so familiar' I wondered. The 2 adults graciously accepted my mother's invitation and thanking us.

During dinner, I learnt that she'll be going to Seigaku. Hm... Looks like I'll be seeing her around. Wonder if we can be good friends?
