Suisho Soccer… Club?
For the second time, the cherry blossoms fell. It was the beginning of another boring year at Suisho Chugaku.
I followed the crowd towards the bulletin board where our homerooms were listed. Finding my name, Isaki Ranmaru, I found out my class.
"2-C..."
"Hey! Ranmaru!" A familiar voice shouted as a felt an arm swing over my shoulders. "Looks like we're in the same class again!"
"...get off, Kou..." I mumbled.
This dark skinned, silver haired boy was my friend, Seiryuu Kou. He's loud and annoying, but for some reason, popular with the girls.
"Don't be shy~ I know you missed me." Kou laughs keeping me under his grip.
"Get off!"
"You guys don't change."
Kou and I turned to the new voice to see our other friend, Yukishiro Rau. Despite the male school uniform she wore, this person was a girl. She pretends to be a DID, therefore gaining the right to wear the uniforn of the opposite gender. I really don't understand why though.
"How long are you planning on wearing that uniform!?" I sighed.
Rau grinned, "Hm... Maybe when Ran-chan grows taller than me."
"Hah, that means never." Kou smirked.
"What do you mean!?" I snapped. He knows I hate being remembered of my short height.
"Well, you two have fun. I'll head to class now." Rau giggled as she walked away.
The bell rang indicating the end of the class. I let out a long sigh as I started to put my books into my bag. Kou quickly turned to me, "hey, meeting at Soccer Clubroom."
"Such a dra..." I started to say but when I saw Kou's face, I changed my words, "I mean, 'Yes, I'm totally excited.'"
Kou grinned as he got off his chair, "Good, good. See you there then."
I buried my face into my arms, why do we bother staying in a 4 man soccer club anyways... Until last year, apparently this school's Soccer team was very strong, but after an entire year without any wins, our club died.
I slowly got up and started to head towards the clubroom. As I opened the door, I saw a familiar face.
"Hey, Ranmaru. You decided to come today." He smirked.
This boy, who was shorter than me, is Kuda Yuuya. His position is forward and his kicks are powerful despite his size.
"Kou forced me..."
"A captain shouldn't say things like that..."
Yes, I was this club's, Suisho Chugaku Soccer Club's , captain. However, since last year, most of the members quit leaving only me, Yuuya, Kou and Rau left in the club... But I feel there was one more member...? Oh well.
"Um... Captain... Long-time no see..." An eerie voice whispered as I felt something cold tap my shoulder.
"Uwaaah!"
"Hiiiii!?"
Behind me was... Oh right... He was part of the club too. This light blue haired boy with darker blue bangs is a midfielder of our team, Ryuzaki Tatsuya. He's quiet and has a very loose presence so, most people don't notice him.
"Ryuzaki... You were here..." Yuuya gasped.
Ryuzaki let out a depressing sigh, "W-we're in the same class and I came here with you..."
"Ahaha, I completely didn't notice!"
"Urgh..."
We three were the only players in the team currently. 2 forwards and a midfielders. Kou is our coach and Rau is our manager. This is Suisho Chugaku, Soccer Club.
Little did we know, that the coming of one new member, would save our dying team...
Few weeks later...
"Huh? Club disbandment!?"
I didn't take my eyes off the manga I was reading. "Yes..." I answered with a lollipop still in my mouth, "'If you can't recruit 8 more people by the end of the month the club'll be disbanded,' is what the principal told me 10 days ago."
Kou angrily slapped the back of my head.
"Why didn't you tell us!?" He, Rau and Yuuya screamed in unison.
I rubbed the back of my head in pain, "you guys didn't know...?"
"Of course not...!" Yuuya shouted.
Rau checked the date on her phone, "End of this month...!? That's in 5 days!"
"Why didn't you try recruiting, Ranmaru?" Kou asked.
I didn't say anything and just sucked on my lollipop silently. I couldn't bring myself to tell him, to tell Kou... That I have given up on soccer.
"Um... Um..." Tatsuya sounded like he wanted to say something but was interrupted by someone slamming the clubroom door open.
A semi-long white haired boy with fair skin stood before the entire club. At first glance, it was obvious he wasn't Japanese.
"I announce before you all... I will save the Soccer Club!" He shouted.
The room fell silent.
Who the heck is this guy!?
The stranger was apparently a transfer student from Italy, Lapo Nuzzi. Wanting to join the soccer club, he goes out to find new members. Chapter 2: Revival of the Soccer Club, Part 1.
Who does he think he is... He doesn't know anything...!

Forward no. 11: Kuda Yuuya
Midfielder no. 6: Ryuuzaki Tatsuya
