Chapter 1: The Fashionable Tennis Player
"Assemble!"
All members of the Seigaku's Boys Tennis Club assembled in the center of the captain's order.
Coach Riyuzaki, captain Tezuka as well as Vice-Captain oishi were in front of them. After a moment, the group was distracted when they saw the Seigaku's Boys Tennis Club entered the court.
The girls had their formation beside the boys while their captain went forward.
"We will have a practice match with them," Coach Riyuzaki introduction.
"Wow! A practice match with Sakuno. I will show her what I've learned from my two years experience in Tennis," Horio thought with his cheeks blushed.
"You mean, our partner will be them?" Eiji asked with a little bit of disappointment.
"Yes," the Coach replied.
"Choosing your partner will be done as draw lots. After you know who's your partner is, you will be given 15 minutes to know him/her better so that you can perform will inside the court." Oishi explained.
"Whoa…" the boys murmured when they saw the most fashionable tennis player entered the court.
"Her long shiny golden pony-tailed hair danced in the rhythm of the air. She had 2 flower clips on the left side of her head. She's wearing a pink sleeveless with collar that was fitted on her, a purple skirt w/ black cycling inside, a purple-blue rubber shoes and a light-pink sock's w/ a cat design on it. She was holding the racket w/ all fashion.
"Hey guys, just raise your hands if you want her to be your girlfriend," Momo whispered.
All the boys raised their hand except the boys in front.
"Momo, will you behave for awhile, you must respect her," Oishi lectured.
"But Senpai… don't you like her?" Momo asked.
Oishi started to blush and he noticed that her Chibi-Ryoma was starting to grow-up because he also raised his hand.
Sakuno felt a little bit insecurity to her Senpai.
"Uh? Senpai-Eiji, don't you like her?" Momo asked when he noticed that his senpai didn't raise his hand.
"I think, that kind of girls is hard to please," Eiji explained.
All of them put down their hands.
"Is that so? How did you know?" Ryoma asked curiously.
"Through her socks," Eiji simply replied.
"Socks???" All of them were shocked on what Eiji said.
"Quiet!" Tezuka interrupted.
'Are you done?" the girl's Captain asked the Fashionable Tennis Player.
"Yeah," she said while she stopped in front of Coach Riyuzaki. "Sorry for the inconvenience. I was late because one of my rackets has been broken."
"B-broken?" Eiji murmured.
"It's okay," the Coach said. She clapped her hands twice. "Let's begin the draw lots."
"If I will be her partner, I will use my 15 minutes to ask all her favorites," Momo said excitedly.
"But that 15 minutes is for you to know her ability," Ryoma intruded.
"Mind your own business and I will do mine. If I will be her partner and she answers all my questions, you wouldn't have a single word from me," Momo announced.
"Then, if that's the case, I will not tell you either," Ryoma said.
"Huh? What's wrong, Eiji?" Fuji asked.
"I can't recognize if this is number 6 or 9…" Eiji said.
"Stupid! We only have 8 regulars, don't we?" The Fashionable Tennis player here so that, uh-" his word was cut off when the girl showed her number.
Number Six…
