A couple of dense

Once a day in Casper high…

"Left, left!"

"Just pass it to her!"

"Nice catch, girl!"

A tall and ravened hair girl dribbling her basketball to the ring, running like ignoring her enemies, especially from a short and ravened hair guy who is different about five inches away than her. She ran to the 3.5 meters ring, and threw the ball.

"Oh! Another score for girls' team!"

All of girls' team cheered happily, and then grab the tall girl and hugged her. "Thank you for participating!"

The girl laughed. "Not a problem, and thanks too, for allowing me join you all against boys' team."

"Of course, because you are good, and you're the one who always helped us against them, they're not show-off to us anymore!"

The girl grinned. She took small towel from her basketball team manager, and cleaned her sweats with it. And then she walked to the ravened hair guy player. "So… I won again." She grinned, once again. "Shortie Dannie."

"Stop calling me that, Sammy." The guy answered annoyingly. "Besides, my name is Danny. Stop calling me like that!"

"Uh-uh, what's that? The Shortie angry to me! Uh-oh, I feel scared! Help Tuck, Ivy!" The girl—Sam—laughed, also with her friends, an African-American guy, and black with blue tips on bangs haired girl. "It was such a failure to ask a battle against me on sport… you might good on basketball, but still, I'm the king, Shortie!"

"You! You just look!"

"Look what?! I'm bored to look at you, Shortie!"

"Shut it up already, giant!"

"Now, now, you both stop fighting."

"Man, can't they just stop it already, at least for one day on these three years, Rama?" The black haired girl—Ivy—said, with drinking a juice.

"It can't be helped; they are just like rivals instead of childhood friends!" The long haired girl—eh, guy with girl looking, answered the girl whose sitting next to him.

Right, the brats over there are rivals.

No matter if it's about study, games, food fight, race, and even betting, they always compared these to each other.

It started since eight years ago—from now—when they are still sixth years old children, one day after Sam moved to Amity Park.

"Tucker, pass!"

"Ouch!" Six-year-old Tucker caught the ball, with tears, because the ball is too hard. "U...Huhuhu…"

"Ah! Loser! Come on—it's just a ball!"

"Don't say that to me when you're actually using your ghostly powers to throw this ball!" Protest Tucker, with still half crying.

Suddenly, a little girl wrested the ball from Tucker fastly. "Hey, you! Don't fight with someone else who is weak! LO-SER!"

"A… U…" Little Danny can't accept to be called that from a girl, so he got really mad fastly. "Just see!" he wrested the ball from the girl, and ran to the ring—one pole has two rings, the shortest one for children with 1.9 meters tall, and for teens with 3.8 meters tall. He's going to throw his ball to the shortest one, but the ball is wrested again by the girl, and the girl threw the ball… To the tallest one ring…

"Hmp."

I… just lost from a girl? I even used my ghostly powers to against her! Danny's thought. He fastly healed from shock, and turned around to the girl. "What's your name?!"

"My name is Sam." She answered, with a little confused face.

"SAM!" He repeated hardly, and pointed his finger to the girl. "From now… from now…" It made the girl's face more confused. "From now… YOU'RE MY RIVAL!" Background: Thunder.

"What the hell?!"

END OF IDIOTIC FLASHBACK.

Back to the Casper High, it's lunch time. The girls—Sam, Ivy, and another girl with curly hair and sweet-dark skin—got their food together.

"So, I heard you're won again over him." The curly hair girl—Valerie—said.

"Ha-ha! Of course!" Sam answered with pride.

"Ah! Ivy! Come here!" Rama shouted softly to the girls.

"Te-he! Can we join?" Ivy asked.

"Of course!" Tucker and Rama answered in unison.

"Oh man, another bad luck lunch—now I should eat together with that giant girl." Danny said.

Sam responded it with anger. "WHAT? I'm only taller 5 inches than you! Are you looking for a fight?!"

"Bring it on!"

Everyone just continued eat their lunch instead of make them calm.

"Ha-Ha! I won!"

"Damn!"

But then everyone curiously looked at them. They looked at the girl and boy whose already done ate their lunch—and looking to Danny with a pride looking.

The girls walked to their dorms and same with the boys, in separated ways.

"Man! I lost!" Sam said.

"You're lost, huh…"

Meanwhile the boys…

"Ha-ha! Tuck, Rama, you saw it, right? I WON! Eat it, giant girl! Ha-ha!" Danny walked with a little dance.

"You sure are enjoyed to fight with her, huh?"

"Why the heck he wants to beat me all those time, huh? Doesn't mean I don't enjoy it, though…" Sam said.

"Well, I don't know why, I just feel like to beat her over everything… I just enjoyed it… I don't know why, though." Danny said.

"What?! You don't know?!" Valerie and Ivy shouted right to her face.

"What?! Don't tell me you're that dense!" Rama and Ivy shouted right to his face.

"What?" Sam and Danny asked in unison, only Danny looked a little anger on his face.

"It means he likes you, Sam!"

"It means you're like her, Danny!"

"WHAA-T?!" Danny and Sam shouted in unison, and they just realized they are walked in near ways.

'Don't tell me they just had same conversation as us.' Valerie's thought.

*****

Meanwhile in boys' dorm…

Someone knocked on Danny, Rama and Tucker's room, and opened it. "Tucker, I…" A brown haired guy looked shock to Rama—whose were opened his clothes. I mean, who doesn't shock while looking at the girl whose opening her clothes in boy's dorm room… and have man chest instead of, ahum, breasts?—and fainted.

"DUH." Rama said.

"I bet he's new student." Danny commented.

"Well, you're right." Tucker said.

Few moments later, Tucker back from bring the guy back to his room.

Danny ate his chocolate and read comic while watching TV advertisement. 'Do I really like Sam? I mean, I like Paulina, but it seems too faded away. Not to Sam, my heart beat while looking at her. And I've thought Sam is an interesting girl—she's pretty, cute, cool, and unique than the other girls… and I always tried to show my best in front of her… even cheated.' Danny's thought.

'…Wait, I just realized it now… is that mean I am that stupid?!'
