"Hey, let us watch the tennis team for their upcoming match on Saturday!"

"For sure they will win!"

"They will always win!"

"I want to see Niou-sama play!"

"Oh, and don't forget Marui-sama too! Kyaaaaa!"

"Tsk, fangirls. Haha! As long as Sanada-san is there, there is no room for losing! I hope I can be like him!"

No doubt it was yet again the start of the annual tennis tournament across Japan. This is also the time where in the student of Rikkaidai would talk about anything related to tennis. Well, it is expected because they were the champions of last year's tournament. That being said, one would just conclude that it was just an ordinary and at the same time, peaceful day at Rikkaidai-

"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU NIOU-SENPAI!" A girl who is obviously a student of Rikkai yelled at Niou. One thing noticeable about this girl was she was wearing her uniform in an not-so-girly manner (tomboyish, perhaps). She has a curly black hair that is extended down to her waist which is adorned by a simple white clip. With her hands at each side of her waist, she stared intently at her senpai with her amethyst orbs whch were enhanced more due to her black-framed glasses.

"My, my... A bad mood so early in the morning?" Niiou just simply replied to his kouhai who has just stated her intent to kill him. "You really look cute in that uniform" He grinned much to his kouhai's annoyance.

"Don't call me cute!"

"Why would I not?"

"I hate you..."

"I know, puri~"

Coincidentally, the bell has rung signalling the students to return to their respective classrooms.

"Have fun on your first day, KI-MU-RA A-YA-ME." After stressing her name, Niou started to walk away lazily as he waved his left hand to the girl. "You better go now, it is not good to be late on your first day."

"I'll seriously crush you" Kimura whispered to herself before proceeding to her classroom.

-LINE BREAK-

"Good morning! Before I start checking your attendance, I would like to introduce your new classmate. She would just be here for a month so I hope that you'll make her stay here memorable. OK?"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"You may now come in, Kimura-san." As soon as she heard her name, she opened the door and let herself in. "Now, introduce yourself please."

"Yes, ma'am." She bowed in front of the class and then inhaled some air before introducing herself to the class. "Good morning. I am Kimura Ayame, pleased to meet you all."

"So, any questions about her?" The homeroom teacher initiated.

"Uhm, why would you only stay here for a month?"

Before Kimura could answer, "A month only because… How do I explain this?" their homeroom teacher answered for her. "You see, Rikkai has this exchange student program wherein we chose students to from other schools to study here for a month and in exchange, let one of our students to study in the school whom we made contract with. For this year, the chosen student is Kirihara-kun."

"So that is the reason he is not here." One of the student blurted out. "I thought he just ditched homeroom again, like he used to do. Well, I am used to him not being here as if he wasn't our classmate at all. Besides, I assume he is busy because of tennis-"

"What did you say?" Kimura suddenly interrupted what her classmate was saying with anger evident to her voice. The class, shocked from what she said, became quiet.

Upon realizing the silence she has caused, she quickly bowed apologized to the class and then letting out a forced laugh. The class, in turn, accepted her apology and at the same time apologized from what they said.

"Uhm, you may take the seat of Kirihara-kun since he is not here at the moment. Obviously, it is the vacant seat over there." The homeroom teacher pointed to Kirihara's seat which is near the window. "Okumura-san?"

"Yes?" Okumura, upon hearing her name, stood up from her seat.

"I would like you to assist Kimura-san during her stay here. Understood?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Kimura, as she makes herself comfortable to her seat, searched for Okumura. Good thing that she stood up because it gave her easier time to know who she was. Kimura noticed that her classmate's hair was somehow messy in a good way. It was black, same as hers, which extended up to the shoulders. Also, she noticed that Okumura's eyes were aqua blue. Her height was just average and Kimura have to admit that she do have those curves at the right places. Kimura mentally noted to herself that she would approach Okumura during lunch break to tell that she does not need guidance around the school.

And besides, she still has to crush Niou.
