Let's Play Tennis

Chapter 1: Tokushima Regulars

The sun shined down against three tennis players inside a tennis court who had a bead of sweat escaping their foreheads from defeating their opponents. In the far corner vibrant virulent shades of green surrounded the area. Flowers, trees, and bushes littered expanse room they had left. If you go right from the tennis courts there was a fountain(not a drinking fountain but a fountain that they use to cool) for players to splash water over soaked bodies of sweat. One opposite side of the fountain stood the tennis club building which was built for players to put their things inside.

They breathed in gently as the sweet aroma of Sakura trees blossomed nearby. It was spring, April to be exact.

Today was day, the faithful day no the promising one that all who wanted to be part of regulars were lined up outside one particular tennis court hoping they would defeat the undefeated captain who hasn't been defeated yet. If you don't defeat the captain then you don't become a regular member instead you're a member of the club like the others who lost.

"The last remaining three players step into the court!" The announcer called out.

Three adolescents entered the tennis court each had a racquet in their hand. The captain came stuntin like someone's daddy(what I mean he had expensive clothes and jewelry on) The four remaining players locked eyes with each other beforeheading over towards the announcer. None wanted to speak, but looking was definitely one of their keep points. Each of them sat huddled down on bench next to each other while the announcer explain how the game would work.

One out of four bit his lip, and sucked a deep breath. "You are the captain?" He inquired.

This surprised everyone to see him talk first out of everyone. Especially since he's the shyest person in the entire school. He had black hair and brown eyes. His hair was unkempt yet one single strand of his hair that's in middle was white. To make things even more unusual he was wearing an overgrown sweater that covers his hands with faded jeans, a lime green scarf, and sneakers in the mid of August.

"You nailed it my doe brown-eyed beauty, I, Noel Camille North is your beloved captain or should I say King to this delightful club!" The captain sort of got the cold shoulder at this outburst since everyone seemed to facepalm themselves when you heard this.

His teeth sparkled as he beamed at black-haired boy. You could tell the captain was about to make a scene because he had that look in his eye. Those honey-brown eye of his were sparkling. His hair was gelled up into a ducktail hairstyle only leaving two strands of hair out yet instead they were sticking up with anticipation. This was rare. His hair or eyes nor teeth never did this ever only when he's about to boast about himself of course yet but this time he wasn't talking him but someone else for a chance.

"It's nice to meet you all as you heard from myself my name is Noel Camille North may I asked what your names might be?" His voiced sounded so sincere when he asked this.

"I'm Terence Nico Tenebris but you may call me Nico." The first one whom spoken introduced himself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well my name is Sakito Kouichi but I prefer to be call Saki." A quiet yet genuine voice mumbled. Noel and Nico turned to look up at boy who has black cap concealing light blue hair that reaches his neck which styled 'messily', at the same time it also look almost neat but not quite. And his long fringe he has is swept to the right yet partially covering his right piercing steel grey eye. He wore khakis and a t-shirt with All Star Converse to complete his outfit.

"And who might you be?" Noel asked, looking over at girl.

Saki sat next to her. What made her stood out the most was her hair which reach her angles if it wasn't tied up. Her black locks were split into two ponytails that had a white ribbon tie to it. Also among the four of them she was shortest. She wore white undershirt with black jacket over with jeans and some sneakers to go with it.

"And who might you be?" He repeated.

". . . ." She didn't bother saying anything.

"No need to be shy everyone's friends here, right guys?" Noel glanced over at Saki and Neko for backup.

"Quite frankly were not friends since we just met." Saki stated matter-of-fact.

"Nico!" Noel coughed loudly.

"What?" Nico raised an eyebrow.

"Do something would ya, you seem to know how to talk to girls work your magic!" Noel shouted.

"If she didn't talk to you then why do you think if I talk to her would make any difference?" Nico growled, rather annoyed.

Noel closed his eyes and focused. "Tell me your name!" He demanded.

"Hikari Taiga." She mumbled softly.

Frowning Noel nevertheless looked at her. "Huh? What was that?" He asked.

"Hikari Taiga!" She parroted.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Kari-chan!" Neol exclaimed but as end of his sentence he emphasize her name by adding a "chan" to it.

"Don't add chan to my name please we barely even no each other." Her voice sounded so icy when she said this.

A vein immediately began to throb at Noel's forehead. "Awww c'mon I think it's cute to add a chan to your name!"

"Um excuse." The announcer tried to get their attention.

"I'm so glad I get to versus good opponents the others were good but you guys will be Armstrong of this club I just know we are going to be a good team!" Noel beamed.

"Before we start actually start talking about being a team shouldn't we play a game of tennis to determine this?" Saki said, making a point.

"Yeah let's play tennis!" Hikari chimed.

"Guys." Still the announcer tried to gain their attention.

Everyone was too engrossed in conversation to hear the announcer.

"Yeah but whose going to be referee?" Nico asked.

"I don't know we would just have to wing it." Noel answered.

"Um excuse me I—" The Announcer started.

"I know how about Hikari be the referee?" Saki suggested.

"No thanks I rather play than me the referee." Hikari declined the job.

"Guys—" Again the announcer made an attempt to say something.

"Okay, then I will be there referee." Noel volunteered himself.

"Alright then it's decided Noel will be the referee!" Nico declared.

"Whose going to go first then?" Hikari asked.

"Let's play rock, paper, scissors to decide." Saki said.

The three tennis players took their stance while Noel watched as they made an attempt to play.

"Ro!" Nico yelled

"Sham!" Saki exclaimed.

"Bo!" Hikari shouted.

All three of them either pick rock, paper, or scissors yet neither one since they all ended picking rock.

"This isn't working let me decide by playing Ini mini miney mo." Noel said.

"Alright if you think that would work out better." Hikari said.

"Ini mini miney mo my mom told me to pick the very best one and you are it!" Noel proclaimed, his finger pointing at Hikari.

"Okay so Hikari goes first." Nico guessed.

"Yeah I believe that's how it works whoever gets pick wins." Saki informed.

"No, no, no, and no! I am the one whose picking who is whether or not going first after all I'm the announcer and referee!" This scared living daylights out of four tennis players especially Noel.

"Oh yeah by bad I almost forgot the announcer or referee or whatever you want to call him is announcing the shots here, guys." Noel said, rubbing back of his head sheepishly.

"Sorry bout' that guys I kinda got mad anyway my name is Hope Hopkins." He put his hand out for them to grasp.

Neither Nico or Saki nor Hikari did though.

"We'll saved familiarities for later please let's play tennis." Hikari said, not bothering to introduce herself. Her face look serious. She wanted to play tennis just by the way she looked.

"If you say so the first match is single match between our undefeated captain Noel North and Hikari Taiga please make your ways to the stage!" Hope announced.

Noel and Hikari grabbed their racquets before walking over to the tennis court. Each of them put their hand out to shake each other hands before playing. Basically, Hope told them whoever scores wins automatically and become a regular member.

"First to serve Noel!" Hope called out.

All eyes were on the two players.

Noel bounced the ball a few times before throwing the ball in the air before hitting it with his racquet. His attack was powerful but to Hikari that hit was an ease. She swiftly ran towards the net hitting a volley which bounce towards the opposing player's next. To Noel's dismay he wasn't keeping an eye on the ball and it ended up scoring her the win.

"Winner Hikari!" Hope exclaimed.

An uproar of cheers for Hikari were broken out.

The two players walked towards the next before putting their hands out to shake once more.

"Good game." Noel smiled softy.

"Yeah good game." Hikari smiled back.

"Okay next match Terence Nico Tenebris vs Noel Camille North!" Immediately next match went into play. Like any other game they shook each other hands, Hope called whose was going to serve, and then the game began. It ended pretty quick nothing really happened. Nobody could actually give an explanation of how Nico won the game since nobody saw the ball besides Hikari, Saki, Noel, and including Nico himself.

"Winner Nico!"

Noel and Nico shook each other hands before going their separate ways.

"Yata!" Nico grinned as he made his way back to the bench.

"Last match of the day Sakito Kouichi versus Noel North!"

The lastly but not least Saki made his way to the tennis court. They did all the requirement of a tennis match before actually playing. The game was going off very smoothly. Each time they hit ball it went back and forth constantly. As if they were making sure this would be a long game to watch. By way Noel looked he was having fun. Even though it didn't seem to show on Saki's face but he too was having fun. The match ended after constant hitting of the ball. In the end Saki was victorious.

"Winner Saki!"

Once the match everyone was going home including Saki, Nico, and Hikari. Except for Noel on the other hand he seemed like he had other plans in stored for him. Or the team for that matter.

"Hey guys!" Noel was grinning too wide which meant he was definitely up to something. But what?

"What?" All three of Tokushima Regulars asked, turning to look at their captain.

"Let's go get some sushi to celebrate!" Noel exclaimed.

"I don't like seafood." Nico told Noel.

"I've somewhere to be." Saki said.

"Yeah me too." Hikari chimed in.

"Awww that's too bad." Noel pouted.

"Sure, is well bye." Hikari waved goodbye while walking away,

But Noel took this as an opportunity by sneaking up on them putting handcuffs each on their wrists.

"Now, let's go to that sushi shop shall we!" Noel chirped.

"Hey we already told were going—" Saki started.

"Not so fast Saki-kun you guys are handcuffed and if you ever want to be uncuffed then all three of you will agree to go to sushi shop with me!" Noel stated.

"That's absurd!" Hikairi yelled, angrily.

"Your crazy!" Nico commented.

Noel took their angry outburst as compliments while leading them to the sushi shop. He looked awfully pleased too. And not to mention happy for once.
