Chapter 2: Girls Tennis and Inui Juice

Chiyoko was sitting at her desk in a daze looking out the window. Today was a bright-hot sunny day, and today was the day of the girls tennis tryouts started. 'Dang, I am so tired, I've been thinking of yesterday all night!' I thought to myself half asleep.

"Chio-chan, are you alright? You don't look to well?" the worried Eiji said.

"Hm, yeah I'm fine. I just didn't sleep that much yesterday. I'll just sleep during class." Chuckles came from the desk behind me, and those giggle fits are from none other than Fuji. I don't hate him that much anymore I have to admit, but I still don't like him.

"Still thinking about yesterday Chiyoko-san?" Fuji said in the most innocent voice that would make you barf! I blushed still, and I was frustrated at myself that I had let my guard down!

Flashback

The pitter- patter of our shoes hitting the concrete annoyed me a lot! My heart was thumping so loud that I was afraid Fuji might hear it. We made our way back to the tennis courts and there we saw Eiji franticly looking around with two people around him. One was short with a cap and the other one who looked like a porcupine with a smile.

"There you are Chio! I was looking for you! Practice ended ten minutes ago, and why is Fuji with you." He looked shocked. I wondered why as I turned to were his eyes were pointed at I saw Fuji's arm around me. I shrugged his arm off and he didn't look too pleased. Maybe because I glared at him like his fan girls do to me. I totally ignored the question and asked,

"Hey, Eiji where are we going to eat, because I'm really starving!"

"Just follow me!" He replied like he totally forgot what he asked me before. I was glad he forgot because I wouldn't know how to explain it!

We (not including Fuji) arrived at this burger joint and at that point on I would never eat fast food again. After seeing a freshman and a 2nd year scarf down so many burgers. I never knew people could eat like that. I learn that the freshman here was a regular and his name was Ryoma. I knew Momoshiro-kun who I found was also was a regular! I felt so bad for Eiji because he just went banked robbed.

"I have a joke!" I said to maybe stop the food from flinging from Momoshiro and Ryoma's mouths while they ate! They turned and looked at me.

"What do waiters and tennis players have in common!?" I said confidently because I thought it was really funny.

"What!" Eiji said happily

"They both serve! Get it!" I started cracking up. I noticed they weren't laughing. They must think I have a bad sense of humor now! I looked down at the table embarrassed.

"Nya, Chio! It wasn't that bad!" Eiji exclaimed trying to cheer me up. It wasn't working but I gave a fake smile to cover the embarrassment up. It was getting late so we said our 'good-byes' and headed home.

End of flashback

I was glad I made some friends. Most girls won't talk to me after they heard I slapped Fuji. The teacher was teaching something I didn't care about. I was too tired to care.

"Class we're having a pop quiz on what we just learned this week." The teacher announced. There were groans and moans all over the place. I was silent even thought I knew I was going to fail. I hated math! I was horrible at it. I looked at the sheet dumbfounded. I guessed on every single one of them.

Afterwards was lunchtime. Eiji, Fuji, and I were walking to the cafeteria.

"So, Chiyoko-san how did you do on the pop-quiz in class today?" I glared at him with an evil aura filling the room.

"I did horrible! Okay! Are you happy now?!" I practically screamed.

"Hey, you two don't fight!" Eiji quickly said.

We entered the cafeteria to find we were sitting next to most all the tennis regulars causing glares to come at me. I didn't care that much anymore; I was used to it by now. I knew Eiji, Fuji, Tezuka, Momoshiro, Ryoma, and Inui! Duh! Who didn't know Inui! I ate silently avoiding eye contact with the person in front of me. Oh why, Kami-Sama was Fuji the one sitting in front of me. I looked at the clock and bided them good-bye.

I rushed to the library; I loved the library, I loved reading fantasy and poetry, it sent you to another world. I went to the library, and started scanning the bookshelves. I found nothing new that sounded interesting to me. So I sat down and pulled out my favorite poetry book and I spent the rest of the lunch period there.

After school I finally got to play tennis! I loved it and played all the time. I was the manager of the boy's team at my old school, but I rather play. I entered the court to seek my opponent her name was kiminichi kirie she was suppose to be good, I was pretty sure she played singles #3. We got on the court and spun the racket. I called rough, it was smooth. It was her serve.

Bam

It flew right past me. I didn't notice the ball, but there's nothing I can't return.

Wham

She served again, this time I got to the ball in time and I returned it with ease.

15- all.

After about ten minutes the game was 5 games to none. I couldn't believe this person was a regular. I won of course, with out breaking a sweat, using any of my moves, or getting serious! This was so easy by the end of the day I had beaten every opponent. I really rather be at the boy's court where there's a challenge! I wanted to face Eiji in a match! His acrobatic style of tennis was good, but I've seen much better.

I became a regular with ease! I couldn't believe that the girl's team was so weak. I guess this school is known for the boy's tennis team. It wasn't fair, why couldn't I be a guy. The girls practice was shorter too and all the girls complained when they had to run! Girls can whine so much! I was looking at the freshman to see how well they did, one caught my eye. She was cute, had brown braids, and she was horrible!

"Girl with the braids, you should bend your knees more. It would be easier that way." I shouted at her.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"My name is Sakuno desu. Thanks for the advice Hattori-sempai." She replied

"Call me Chiyoko." I said back as she nodded. Practice ended a half hour before the guy's practice. I got changed and headed to the boy's court to tell Eiji the big news! But when I got there I noticed people were screaming and dropping like flies after drinking something Inui gave them. So I went up to him and ask,

"Inui, what are you giving them that's killing them?"

"Oh, just my latest creation, it's called Inui Juice Supreme."

"Can I try?"

"Sure." He handed me a glass of this blackish-purplish drink with a greenish tint. I took the glass. I heard a faint cry of no's, but I didn't listen to them, I gulped it all down. The glass dropped onto the floor and shattered into pieces and I stood there frozen. Eiji came up to me and put his hand on my shoulder.

"It's going to be okay." Eiji said. I turned and smiled,

"That was good! Can I have some more?" Which made everyone amazed that I could drinks this stuff and survive.

As Practice ended for the boy's club, I waited for Eiji to get changed, so I waited by the tree. When he came out we started to walk.

"Eiji, My house is this way. Bye."

"It's getting late. Let me walk you home. It's not safe for girls to walk home in the dark." I swore I saw him blush a little when he said that.

"No that's okay. My parents would kill me if they saw a boy walking me home, but I'll call you when I get back. Okay?"

"Fine." He sighed. "But remember to call me or else I'll be worrying about you!"

"Eiji, I'm a big girl I can take care of myself, but I'll call because you asked me too. Happy?"

"YAY!" He smile and hugged me like he does Ryoma.

"Eiji, I can't breathe."

"Oh sorry." He let go and we walked our separate ways. After awhile of walking, I looked back to see if Eiji wasn't following me, its not like I don't trust him… its just I don't trust him THAT much. I pulled out my cell phone and called my driver.

"Can you pick me up?"

"Where are you Chiyoko-sama?"

"The same place as always."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

"Thank you." I said as I hanged up. 35 minutes pasted as this jet black car pulled up besides me. I got up from the ground I was sitting on, put my I-pod away and I got in the car. When I got in I started to wonder about what Eiji said on our walk back.

Flashback

"In a week were going to face Hyotei, and I was wondering if you would like to come and cheer me on?"

"I don't know I would have to check with my parents and Eiji don't you mean cheer us on?"

"No, I really do mean come to cheer me on, please?

"Uh..." I looked down and blushed. Did Eiji just ask me to come to cheer him on? I didn't want to ask though.

"Never mind Chio, just forget what I said. Just come to cheer your school on okay?" He gave me those eyes. You know the one you can never say no to.

"Alright I'll go and I'll make something to bring too! You'll love it!" I said trying to get off the subject.

"Yay!"

End of flash back

Now I'm really confused did Eiji like me? Did I really want to go? I am so screwed!!! Jeez, forget it. I'll think about it tomorrow. I texted Eiji that I was at home, even though I wasn't, I was in the car because I didn't want to make him worry. I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
