Anyone for Tennis?

Chapter 1 - Peachy

Walking down the sunlit corridor, Ryoma Echizen heaved a sigh. Today was turning out to be a long day. Not that there was actually more minuets in the day, it's just that it felt like it to him. He never liked days like these. Too much time to worry about things better left alone.

"Hay Echizen, wait up!"

Stopping mid step Ryoma turned his head, looking for the person that had pulled him from his thoughts. Finding the source of the interruption Ryoma turned; lifting his head to the side and placing his trademark smirk firmly on his lips, "Yes Momo?"

Walking up to Ryoma, Momo nudged him in the shoulder playfully, "what are you giving me that smirk for?"

Paying no attention to Momo's question, Ryoma turned on his heal and started off down the corridor.

"Hay!" yelled Momo, falling in step beside Ryoma, "you know that practice is extended tonight right?"

"It is?" asked Ryoma, as he reached the end of the corridor and turned to walk down the stairs.

"Yeh," Momo nodded, as they reached to ground floor "Bouchu only decided on it this morning and you left before we had a chance to tell you"

Reaching Ryoma's classroom, Momo turned to face Ryoma, "are you ok? You seem to be a bit out of it lately"

Cocking his head to side and placing his hand on the doorknob, Ryoma smirked "Peachy."

A.N. well this is my first Prince of Tennis fic. So I would like to ask everyone to be kind… Please!! Anyway I am just going to be writing as much as I can at the moment, which means I might not be updating all that regally… I am currently studding my final year at high school and I am a little swamped. (I also play tennis so…)

I can pretty much guarantee that the next chapter is going to be a little confusing to most, if not all, people. But don't worry! It will all be explained by the end of the chapter! And yes… it will be longer than this chapter… I like writing little first chapters or prologues and then doing super long chapters after. I do not write Lemon!

Because I am Australian I use a lot of Australian terminology and I have a uniquely Australian style of writing, so if anyone has any questions or comments on my writing style, please tell me, ok (I like using the word Australia… don't I smile)! And by the way… the "Peachy" comment from Ryoma was my sad attempt at humour… 'momo' in Japanese is peach… silence yeh… thought as much. My A.N.'s are usually a lot shorter than this… or not there at all, so fear not!

Disclaimer: I do not now or will ever own Prince of Tennis… awww now I'm depressed.
