"[Name]?" Rin spoke, trying to get your attention.

You continued to stare over at the new first year. This kid was absolutely unrealistic! How could someone like him even be considered a first year? He was 5 times the size of you for gods sake!

"[Name]!" Your best friend repeated herself, slamming her palm onto the table in front of you two.

"Eh?" You questioned, jumping up in shock. "Rin, what is it?"

"Why're you making goggly eyes at a-" She paused, looking over at him. "What year is he?"

"A first year, he's on the basketball team too."

"A first year? Like that?" She screeched. "There's no way!"

"Everyone's talking about him. From his shots to his speed, the rumors are pretty good. But his personality is apparently, well, eh." You spoke, looking around to see people all around pointing and staring at the boy. "I wonder what his name is?"

You turned to your side to look at Rin to find her gone.

"Rin?" Your eyes widened in confusion as you glanced back at the boy to see Rin standing by his side. "Rin!"

You quickly flew up out of your seat and ran over to the two, gasping for air. You boy merely looked over at you, barley paying attention.

"What are you doing?" You yelled at your friend.

"This is the friend I was talking about." Rin smiled, averting attention to you. "Her name is-"

"You told him about me?" You screeched. She just got there! How could she have already introduced someone other than herself?

"My name's Kagami Taiga, first year."

Your eyes widened as you stood in awe.

"What do you like to be called?" You questioned.

"I don't care." He spoke, trying not to acknowledge you and finish his food.

"Well Kagami-kun, I was wondering if maybe I could get your number and we could-"Rin began, grabbing onto the first years arm.

"Rin!" You yelled, slapping the girl over onto the floor.

"Ow!" She yelled, rubbing her head and standing back up.

"Kagami, could I ask you a favor?" You asked, still attempting to get eye contact with the boy, and sitting down across from him. You wondered what his stats were as such a good basketball player. Maybe if he'd stand up, you could take a look at his figure and-

"I'm not sleeping with you." He stated, taking a sip of his drink.

"What?!" You yelled, kicking the boy in the calf and slamming your hands down onto the table, causing Kagami to spit out his drink all over you.

You closed your eyes, hoping it was a dream. But a few seconds later, you were still wet, and really upset. You opened up your eyes and looked at the boy who seemed still confused at what had just happened.

"You-Did not- just do that." You spoke, wiping off your eyes with your sleeve.

"Uh-"He paused.

Rin continued to stand by as she began to laugh uncontrollably.

"[Name]! Look at you!" She giggled.

"[Name]?" He asked, looking shocked at the name she had called you.

You stood up from the table, grabbing the offered jacket from Rin and ignoring all the stares. Rin followed you as you walking into the girls bathroom.

"I can't believe that just happened!" She continued.

"Same here." You sighed, wetting the jacket and wiping yourself off. "Stupid first year."

"Well technically, you should be a first year." She teased. "I'm still older than you." She pointed.

"That doesn't matter, maturity depends on grade, not age." You nagged. "That boy sure is something."

"He seemed to barley acknowledge your presence, that's a first."

"Hey!" You retaliated. "No guy is going to ignore me like that, brings up too many bad memories."

"Well, he spit his drink out on you if that counts."

You rewet the jacket, getting rid of the last bit of drink left on you.

"Ready?" Rin asked.

"Yeah, sure. Whatever." You growled, opening to door to be stopped by a bunch of girls crowding the exit.

"[Name]! Rin!" One girl squealed.

"Who was that?" Another yelled.

"Is Kagami your boyfriend?"

"Is Kagami available?"

Your face instantly blushed as you stood still, unsure of what to say. All of this for a first year? He's not even that attractive.

"We just went to talk to him, that's all." Rin spoke, snapping you out of your gaze.

"Rin's telling the truth, I just kicked him by accident and I guess I scared him, and then he spit his drink out all over me."

"You kicked Kagami?" One girl shrieked.

"Why would you do that!"

"I-I don't-" You tried to speak.

"How could you-"

"Shut the hell up! All of you!" You yelled, your face boiling red from anger. "Get out of our way!" You spoke, grabbing onto Rin's hand and pushing through all the girls.

As you began to walk out from the bathroom, you found Kagami still sitting at his table. You rolled your eyes. Maybe the five-hundred girls following you would grab his attention, if anything could.

"[Name] wait-"

"Let's go." You spoke, ignoring her request.

"But [Name]…."

"I said let's go, Rin!" You demanded, looking back at her with eyes filled with something they hadn't been filled with in a while, anger.

Rin released your hand, causing you to stop in your tracks and turn toward her in surprise.

"What's going on with you?" She spoke, girls surrounding the two of you completely. "This isn't like you."

"Rin..."

"Don't make an excuse. The way you pushed your way past those girls? Are you not seeing how you're acting, [Name]?"

You rolled your eyes. This was getting annoying.

"See?" She spoke, pointing at you. "You never do that, and I know that because I'm your best friend!"

"I just-"

"This doesn't have to do anything with that thing from a couple of years-"

"Stop!" You interrupted, walking up to the girl, hair covering your face. "What did I tell you about talking about that!" You spoke, looking up at the girl.

"I try not to talk about it, [Name]! But it's hard whenever I know that's all you ever think about!" She gulped. "It's hard to see you live like this."

"That part of my life is gone, Rin!" You yelled, your bangs flipping out of your face. "It's none of your business!"

"But I'm your best friend-"

"Not anymore." You interrupted, causing the girl's eyes to widen.

"W-what?" She stuttered, in shock.

"I think we need a break, Rin." You gulped, leaving the girl in constant shock. "I'm going to class." You spoke, turning around and beginning to leave.

"But you can't do it on your own!" She spoke.

"I don't need anyone's help." You spoke, continuing to face away from the girl and leaving the cafeteria.

"Don't be the same person you were two years ago, [Name]."

Hearing your best friends words caused you to freeze, memories momentarily flowing back, causing you to become unable to speak.

"I shouldn't of said that, I'm sorry." Rin spoke, apologetically.

"I don't care." You spoke. "My basketball life is none of your business, not anymore."

And with that, you left the cafeteria, breaking your best friends heart and continuing your first day of many as a second year in Seirin High school.
