Disclaimer: I do not own prince of tennis.
It was a breezy summer day, the last summer day to be exact.
"Ah, the cool wind against my face is relaxing." Shiraishi said to himself as he lay on the grassy field in his house. The boy was entering his third year in Shitenhouji as the captain of the tennis club.
After an hour or two, he started feeling water splattering on his face.
'What is that?' he thought to himself.
He stood up and suddenly felt a gush of water hitting his face.
"P-taaaaahhhh!" he screamed.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" said a panicking female voice holding a garden hose.
"It's ok. It was rather…. refreshing." Shiraishi said, using his shirt to wipe his face.
"Do you need a towel?" she said.
"It's ok. Considering my house is just 5 meters away from where I am standing right now, I think I'll just get one from my room." He said jokingly.
"Oh…okay." The girl said.
"Come on over. I'd like to get to know my neighbor." Shiraishi said.
~At Shiraishi's room~
The girl sat uneasily on Shiraishi's bed, smelling the aroma of the lavender near the window.
"So, let's start with names and general details." Shiraishi said while he walked into the room shirtless.
The girl blushed.
"Sachi Imonoyama. I live next door. I'm entering my 3rd year in Osaka Private." The girl replied.
"Ah, Imonoyama. Where have I heard that name before? Anyway, I'm Shiraishi Kuranosuke. I'm entering my 3rd year in Shitenhouji." He said.
"Shitenhouji? The temple looking school?" Sachi asked.
"Uh…yeah." He said.
"And I think you like tennis." she said, looking at the tennis posters and technique books scattered around the room.
"Oh no." he said sarcastically.
After some hours of chatting about random stuff, Shiraishi's cellphone began to ring.
"Yes? I'll meet you there at 6pm. See ya."
"A date?" Sachi teased.
"That was from my boys."
"You're gay?"
"Of course not!" Shiraishi abruptly replied. "That was from a guy in my team. We're going to the party of some arrogant boy's birthday from Hyotei. You want to come along?"
"Sure. Pick me up at 5?"
"Is this a date?"
"It is if you want it to be." Sachi said with a seductive smile.
