Hana's pov
Hi my name's Kitamura Hana, I'm 15 years old this year and I have a brother his name is Kitamura Ko. I have short black hair just like my brother but my hair is usually spiked up and I go to Mahora Junior High School which is an all girls school while my brother go's to Seishu junior High School. My best friend and neighbour, Aoba Tsukishima goes to the same school as my brother but she is one year younger than both of us. In the Tsukishima family there used to be 4 sisters in the family but four years ago there was a tragic accident where Tsukishima Wakaba had died saving a little girl at her swimming camp. During her funeral both of us did not know how to respond to her death and after the funeral we had went to the festival and we ended up at the Tsukishima's house and we had saw Akaishi crying and we knew what we had to do we just needed to cry.
I can still remember the day when we had to deliver some baseballs to the Tsukishima batting centre and the nozzle on the hose that aoba was using broke and that we needed to bring Wakaba to her class.
Aoba trying to make the hose work and the nozzle came out and she had sprayed Ko with the water and the nozzle had hit him on his head. "Awww, man it broke" Aoba asked us if we sold nozzles at our place and Ko said no because watering things isn't considered a sport yet. "What are you looking at Hana" "Pfft , nothing bwahahaha oh no my stomach hurts hahaha. Aoba looks at me and runs to me shouting "Hana-kun" and hugs me. Hi Aoba, how are you. I'm doing great until your brother came along but now I'm happy again. We went into the batting centre and gave the balls to uncle Tsukishima and he gave both of us tokens for the batting cages and the both of us went to the 100km fastball and I had batted a home run while Ko was dragged away by Wakaba because she wanted him to bring her to swimming school and I had to chase after them on my bike. We had rode past the sandlot and the team that Ko had sold uniforms to wanted him to play baseball with them but Ko did not and they said they were tricked by him. Once we reached the swimming school, Wakaba told Ko that her swimming class ends at 5.00 and Ko said so what and Wakaba said oh yeah and ran back to Ko and kissed him on the cheek. And I said "Waka-chan no kiss for me?" and she came to me and said sorry I forgot and she kissed me on the cheek also. I had blushed and said I'm only kidding! "It's ok that was for bringing me here and picking me up!" Ko and I shouted who said we're picking you up! Wakaba just reminded us that her class ended at 5.00. While the both of us were going home we had encountered Akaishi and in the end the both of us went to the sandlot and played for the doors during their game. When Nakanishi saw us he asked us what we were doing there and the both of us said that we can never forget this team and wanted to play for them and he told me are you sure you can play you are a girl. I told him not to underestimate me just because I'm a girl. Ko told him that he never played catch before but had batted at the Tsukishima batting centre since he was three. While we were playing all of a sudden Akaishi had went to the mound and told us that he was going to pitch for the other team because it looks fun to play. When it was Ko turn to pitch the catcher had asked Ko what was his relationship with Wakaba and he said that they were just neighbours. And when it was my turn to bat the catcher had asked me the same thing and I had said the same thing as Ko but then we heard Wakaba shouting "Hana, Ko why didn't you pick me up even though I gave you two a kiss." And Akaishi looked pissed and he had pitch the first ball and it was about 100km straight fastball and our team was shocked that an elementary school student could throw that fast but I was not worried because I had batted this kind of balls at the Tsukishima Batting centre since I was three also and when the second pitch came I had batted a home run and Akaishi looked shock. And then we brought Wakaba back home but she rode with me instead of Ko because she was angry at him. And just the next two days Wakaba was gone.
Today was the first day of my second year of middle school during the fall and when Ko and I was ready for school we went to the train station to take the train to school. My uniform consisted of dark blue pants, white button up blouse and a black blazer. I was wearing pants because I was not comfortable wearing a skirt and the school had allowed me to wear pants instead of a skirt. When we were at the train station an annoying person walked up to us and he was Senda Keiichiro he would always introduce himself as Seishu middle school ace pitcher and clean up batter. " Yo Kitamuras" "Senda can you leave us alone." "Woah, yo Tsukishima" Aoba turned to us and walked up to me and hugged me. " Hi, Hana" " yo Aoba" " Ehhh, what is going on!" Senda shouted. " Nothing can't I hug my best friend" Aoba said. The train had arrived and we took the train to our schools Ko and the others had reached their school first and I needed to walk a few more blocks to reach my school.
