Social Etiquette for Tennis Boys
How it all started.


It was one normal sunny morning on the tennis courts of Hyotei Gakuen. The tennis regulars of Hyotei were having practice matches as usual. Sakaki-sensei was worried. No, more than worried with the foul manners of his regulars. Especially with two particular regulars who were rapidly deteriorating the hearing of the rest of the team.

"I definitely can win you in a singles match 'cause you suck! You're just a bouncing monkey with no brains and no stamina. There's no way you can beat me!" Sakaki-sensei noted Shishido shouting. 'Why were they fighting again?' he wondered. Then he realized they didn't need any reason to argue.

"Fuck you! With my acrobatics I can defeat all your signature moves! 'Cos they all suck as much as you! Who the hell do you think you are telling me I suck? Look in the mirror you bastard you suck waaaaaaaaaaay more than me!" Sakaki-sensei decided that Gakuto was being a whiny kid, retaliating fervently to all of Shishido's jibes.

"You're in denial! Everyone knows that I have more skills than you do! I made it onto the regular team twice!" Sakaki-sensei rolled his eyes. Since when was getting dropped from the regulars a good thing?

"Hah! I have never been dropped from the regular team ever. That's why I'm so much better than you!"

Sakaki-sensei was pissed. He stood up and was about to stop them when Shishido suddenly glared and menacingly growled, "At least Choutarou and I know we're a better team than you and the loser Oshitari."

Sakaki-sensei sighed and sat back down, knowing that they would never stop when the subject was about their beloved doubles partners. It eventually ended up with something like this:

"OSHITARI SUCKS AND YOU KNOW IT!" from Shishido.

And…

"CHOUTAROU SUCKS MORE!!! YOU CAN'T DENY IT!" from Gakuto.

Sakaki-sensei gave up on the two boys and glanced at the rest.

Choutarou was in tears behind Shishido and from the stands, Oshitari watched with an amused expression over the random romance novel he had magicked out of nowhere. Next to him was Atobe, who was absentmindedly stroking Jiroh's hair while the boy snored away. A bit farther off Kabaji could be seen, mouthing swear words which he had managed to copy. On the other side of the stands, Hiyoshi seemed to be holding a mug of… colourful liquid which gave off steam as colourful as the liquid. He was grinning evilly and staring at Atobe.

Sakaki-sensei sighed and walked off to make a phone call, hoping that Atobe wouldn't be murdered by Hiyoshi while he was away.

"Moshi moshi, Sakaki-sensei, is there anything up in Hyotei? You sound quite upset."

And so, Sakaki-sensei bitched about his regulars' behaviors to Ryuuzaki-sensei. Who in turn called up Banda-sensei, who called Ojii-sensei and finally, Ojii-sensei randomly called Tachibana who decided to call Yukimura since he didn't want to be the only non-adult involved in the bitching chain. In the end, Yukimura, who was sensible unlike all the other coaches, called up Sakaki-sensei to ask why he had started the bitching chain.

And so, somehow, all the coaches, plus Tachibana and Yukimura were seated in a circle to discuss how to solve the problem. The problem referring to the failure manners of the regulars, not the reason they suddenly had a bitching chain.

After a few seconds of intense thinking, Sakaki-sensei decided that they would call Fujiwara-sensei, his acquaintance, and an etiquettist.

After getting the confirmation from Fujiwara-sensei that she would be glad to help out, Sakaki-sensei asked the rest.

"So who's team wants to go first?" No one did. After an eternity of uncomfortable silence, Yukimura decided to be sensible for the last time and spoke up.

"How about we draw lots?" and so, thanks to Yukimura, they finally decided the order. Which was written on Sakaki-sensei's whiteboard by Ryuuzaki-sensei, who managed to accidentally use permanent marker.

The order was;

1. Hyotei
2. Rikkai Dai
3. Seigaku
4. Fudomine
5. Yamabuki
6. Rokakku

All satisfied, they all happily returned home, with the exception of Sakaki-sensei, who had to bring a frothing Atobe home before he could return home himself.
