Sorry guys for the long wait because I was busy recently my summer is almost over so I decided to go out with friends. Also because this chapter is really long so enjoy everyone :P
Italic= thoughts or flashbacks
It was a Saturday afternoon the sky was clear the breeze was warm and birds were chiping. In a house there was a girl wondering what she would wear for today when she meets up with a certain boy. She was trying out outfits in front of her mirror.
Hmm I wonder what I should wear today Wakana was thinking I honestly don't know what he will like to see me in...Wait Wakana what are you thinking your just hanging out! Wakana shaking her head around getting rid of that thought just hanging out huh she thought sadly.
Meanwhile in another place Eijun got done showering and was checking his clothes and trying to figure out which clothes were clean and dirty. "Oh man I should be more organize before I leave" Sawamura said to himself while making a pile of clothes stack up. "Okay that pile is my dirty clothes I got that sorted out and where are my clean clothes?"
Once Eijun was done he just put on some black jeans and a gray T-shirt that has a baseball and a bat in the center with a blue jacket zipped up and some white sneakers. He decided to check on his phone to see what time is it. Hmm I got about half an hour until I meet up with Wakana I should probably head to the park right now Eijun thought. With that in mind he bid goodbye to his parents and grandpa and headed out the door.
Once Wakana was done on choosing her clothing and finally after convincing herself its just a 'hangout' she was ready to head out. She was wearing a light pink shirt with a purple jacket zipped up halfway and shorts that shows off her legs and pink sandals. "I wonder if Eijun is already heading there by now" Wakana said to herself while checking her phone "Its 2:30 and we did say to meet up at 3 O clock so I got 30 minutes to get there"
On the way there Wakana was enjoying the weather the skies are clear, there were hardly any clouds and the cool breeze hitting her face. She smiled remembering that the park they were meeting at was actually the first time they've met. She can remember like it was yesterday but they met each other when they were like around six year olds. Wakana can't help but laugh at the memory.
By the time she got there she saw a few little kids playing around or just running around the playground while the parents were just sitting on the benches chatting away. She was looking around to see if Eijun was around but when she couldn't spot him anywhere she decided to sit on a nearby bench and check on her phone.
When she flipped opened her phone she saw that she was a few minutes early. I guess I kept thinking a lot that I didn't know how fast I was walking she thought I still can't make a decision I mean Seido is a huge school and its not that easy to get in that type of school. Plus its a huge scholarship and the teacher seems like she really wants me to go when I called her earlier this week by now she put her hand on her hand an let out a frustrated sigh.
She was in deep in thought that she didn't notice someone approach near her. "Oi Wakna are you okay? You seem like theres something bothering you" Eijun said with concern when standing right next to her. Wakana unaware of Eijun near her jumped up from her seat startled "uwahh don't scare me like that! When did you get here?!" Said Wakana. "Hmmm I arrived here just a few minutes ago I was chased by a dog for stepping on its tail so sorry I'm late" Said Eijun tiring "So what you thinking about?"
Wakana just shaked her head "Nothing just wondering what time you were going to arrive since I came early" she said smiling with a blush. "So we got a few hours to kill what do you wish to do?" She asked. "Hmmm well I do wanna go to a store downtown to get a new baseball article shall we go?" Asked Eijun.
"Sure" answered Wakana. The two left the park heading towards store. "So anything new going on? Asked Eijun "I haven't talked to you or the others on what you guys been up to sorry about that". "No its okay for me I haven't done much of anything really just reading books and relaxing" answered Wakana. "Oh I see. Your really gotta lay off the books I don't know how you read for fun because my head always hurt when I try to understand some" said Eijun rubbbing his head.
Wakana just smiled at his response "well that's why always have the highest grade in class because i read a lot of stuff ahead of my grade level". "Well I have to agree you are really smart and you always helped me study which I appreciate heck your practicaly the smartes girl in school" said Eijun. Wakana blushed when Eijun was praising pn being smart "hahaha thanks I never knew my intelligence got your attention" she said.
Eijun just kept grining "well how can it not you were able to explain materials to me much more easier than those boring teacher" he said. "Well maybe if you don't sleep during class you might find it a little bit more easier though I know thats impossible" said Wakana. "Wait whats that supposed to mean?!" Questioned Eijun. "Oh nothing its just your mind always drifts off when your in class just saying" said Wakana smiling.
Eijun hates to admit it but she was right thats the main reason why always falls behind in class. As soon as they made it to the store Eijun went immidately to the article section in the store. "Hey hold one we still got the entire day to look through them" said Wakana. "Yeah but I wanted to see which player to look out for this season" replied Eijun "ahh here he is look" Eijun showed Wakana a picture of a catcher from Seido
"Catcher Myuki Kazuya is a player to watch out for his skills on scoring runners in scoring position, throwing runners out who attempt to steal and making the rights calls for a pitcher" read Wakana from the article. "He is that skillful. I haven't told anyone about this but he's the reason why I decided to go to Seido" said Eijun. Wakana just smiled at him "is it because of his skills as a catcher you believe that he can improve your talent as a pitcher"
Eijun gave her a surprise look "wow you clearly read my thoughts thats exactly why". "Well then lets get this baseball article then I'll pay for it" Wakana said grabing it and taking it to the casier. "Wait Wakana I have money let me pay for it!" Eijun said trying to get out his wallet. "No no let me do it. I would like to do something nice for you" Wakana said blushing. Eijun gave her an unsure look "okay but I'll treat you to something I'm not comfortable letting you spend your money"
"Fine alright if i see something I want you'll pay for it despite how high the price is right" Wakana said winking at him. "Hold on I don't got that much money so keep it really low please!" Eijun said begging. "Hmm alright since I wanna be nice today" Wakana said paying for the baseball article and heading out.
As two were walking around they looked around the store to see if there was anything to buy. Eijun was looking at some baseball card and Wakana dragged a protesting Eijun (literaly) to a store that had girls merchandise since she wanted to see the new perfumes that are available.
"Hey Wakana it's getting late and I'm starving can we get something to eat before we go?" asked Eijun while clutching his stomach
"Sure wanna go to that resturant I never tried it though"
"Sure wherever you want lets go" Eijun said while grabbing Wakana's hand dragging her into the resturant.
When they went in the waitress took them to a table for two and started to look whats on the menu.
Oh man this looks like were on a date just the two of us Wakana were just hanging out just hanging out. Wakana thought blushing.
Hmmm I'm really starving and this place looks nice. Today was fun too spending the afternoon with Wakana. Too bad we're going to be seperated... Wait that didn't sound right Eijun thought with a frown.
The waitress went to their table and took their order. Eijun just decided to order ramen while Wakana just ordered a salad. As soon as the waitress left and came back with two glasses of water. There was an awkward silence and both didn't know how to break the silent so as they were just sipping their water it was until Eijun decided to break the ice
"So I'm guessing there's something on your mind since you hadn't talked for awhile" Eijun stated rubbing the back side of his head "you know you can tell me anything right even though I won't be here but if you ever need me I'm here"
In fact those words made her blush even more "oh yeah there has been something on my mind and I think I should tell you but I promise I'll tell you about at the endof the day okay I promise"
"Alright I trust you but hey let's talk about other stuff like how I'll try to to pull a prank on everyone since they wrote on my face while I was asleep! Those damn idiots will pay for what they did that night!
Wakana just smiled at her friends rambling on getting revenge on their friends. In the end he just decided that he will put stink bombs in their room. Just as soon as Eijun finish his rambling their food came right away fresh and ready.
"Alright this smells really good thanks for the food"!" Exclaimed Eijun and started slurping the noodles down
"Hey slow down or else you're going to choke" Wakana said worryingly
"Don't worry about me I'll be fine wow this is really good" Eijun said with noodles hanging down his mouth
"Don't talk with your mouth full too. Hasn't anyone taught you manners were in public not at each other's houses"
She was right because people were giving them looks of questioning and disgust. Eijun hadn't notice so he decided to chew on his noodles silently.
"Sorry about that I was just starving"
"It's okay let's just continue eating without disrupting other people" Wakana said as she ate her salad
So they both ate silent just making little small talk having a few laughs until they were done.
"I never knew Misaki had boyfriend before" Eijun stated while drinking the rest of the noodle soup
"Yeah well she said he wasn't her type of guy since he was lazy" Wakana said wiping her mouth with a napkin
"Here's your bill sir" the waitress said handing Eijun the bill
"Ah thank you" Eijun said gladly taking the bill "oh thank goodness it didn't cost as much as I expected I got this bill Wakana"
Eijun pulled out some money and placed it in the booklet where the bill was in
"Alright it's 8:30 so wanna head back it's getting late" Eijun stated as he got up ready to leave
"Sure but can we walk around the park for a little bit"
"Sure whatever you want"
They both got up and left and started heading towards their way back but decided to take a stroll around the park which their both familiar with since they both first met there.
Eijun started smiling remembering their first encounter "hey remember when we first met it was on that swing" he pointed at the spot
Wakana smiled at the spot "yeah I remember it was funny when I first met you"
Flashback
There was small boy with brown hair sitting on the swing with a glove and ball in hand. The boys eyes looked sad like he lost something.
"Hey what's wrong" he heard a little girl say
When he looked up he saw a girl with brown hair looking at him
"Oh nothing its just I have no one to play catch with me. My grandpa was supposed to play with me but he ran off when he saw a women"
She looked at him sadly but thought of something
"Hey if you want I'll play catch with you"
He looked up at her with happiness in his eyes "really?"
"Yeah do you have an extra glove?"
"Always" he said picking up a glove and giving it to her
"Alright lets go play"
"Alright!" he exclaimed as they both ran to an open space but he tripped on the way
"Hey you're a nice girl by the way my name is Eijun Sawamura yours?"
"My name is Wakana"
End of flashback
They both laughed at that memory. "Who knew that baseball will make us become good friends" said Wakana. "Hey I was surprised that you came and talked to me back then" Said Eijun
"Hey I couldn't help it you looked really lonely" Wakana looked away as she said that
"But hey thank you for playing with me it was fun and you become a good friend of mines"
"yeah" Wakana was now starting to bite her lip Should I tell him about the scholarship to Seido or no. Oh man what should I do.
"Oi Wakana yoohoo" Ejiun waving his hands in front of her face. "Hmm oh sorry it's just that I was thinking if I should tell you what's on my mind" Wakana said nervously
"Is it something important?" He asked
"Uhmm yeah it sort of is but I don't know how to say it"
"Well take your time I'll hear what you want to say" Eijun said as he sat on the bench
"Thank you" Wakana said as she sat on the bench okay here it goes Wakana you can do it she thought. After a few minutes she decided what to do Well here goes nothing as she took deep breaths.
"Uhm Eijun" she said nervously
"Hmmm what is it?" He asked when he was biting on his nail
"You know how smart I am and getting into high school with high academic isn't that hard"
"Oh yeah I know you always tutored me but why are you telling me this?" He asked wondering
"Well you see I was called on to the office earlier this week and Seido sent this women to deliver something from me saying that their giving me a scholarship" she said looking away "and the lady told me that my academics are really outstanding and that she thinks it's a good idea to go"
"Well the lady said she was just a baseball scout Takashima was her name I think so you probably know her but she said that their school system are really good and encourage student to do their best. And the lady that was supposed to tell me all that couldn't make it but I talked to her on the phone she's a teacher there and she sounds really nice"
"She said that she really wants me to come to their school because she's forming an academics team and she needs me because she just needs one more student to qualify plus I'm the last student she has offered a scholarship. Also the scholarship is huge and my parents really want me to go, and she said that if traveling was the problem she said she'll find a way to get a dorm for me. Plus she sounds excited to meet me but I don't know" Wakana finished
A few minutes passed and Wakana looked at Eijun to see his reaction but he couldn't tell since his face was all blank.
"Do you want to go?" He asked
Wakana was surprised he asked "Uhmm I don't know"
"Well it sounds like you do" he said with a grin "at first you didn't know but you mention that the lady really wants you to go and your parents were happy for you and the scholarship. Oh man sounds too good to pass"
"What do you mean?" She asked with a raised eyebrow
"Wakana I got a scholarship to Seido and it was really amazing. But you got one because of your academics and aren't you happy about that"
"Yeah I am but... What about you?" She asked
"What about me? I'm happy for you its a huge opportunity" he said smiling "don't tell me it's because of me you your hesitant to go?"
"Well what do you think if I told you I want to go"
"Wakana it is your decision not mines but I'll be really happy if you go especially since we'll be seeing each other more"
Wakana was blushing madly "Eijun I got to make a decision tomorrow but what about our friends do you think they'll handle themselves in high school?"
"Well isn't your friend Misaki going to the same school too she was our other baseball manager so she can look after them right?"
"Your right"
"If you want my opinion you should accept it" Eijun said standing up "I bet your parents wants you to go too plus who knows maybe interesting stuff might happen over there"
Wakana smiled at him "alright I'll tell the teacher tomorrow on my decision"
"Alright let me walk you home it's really late"
"Okay I had fun today we should do this again sometime" Wakana said blushing
"Sure it was really fun" Eijun said smiling
The two walked back to her house. Soon they were in front of her door
"Well Wakana tell me tomorrow of your decision"
"Sure thing you're always the first person I'll tell you stuff" she said happily
Eijun had no idea how to reply to that "well I'll message you later goodnight" he said leaving
"Goodnight" she replied as she saw him walk away but she sure has made her decision I really hope we can 'hang out' more when we go to school together she thought smiling as she went inside.
