Mathematical Basketball
Kise Ryota
Kise panted. He was tired if not obvious enough.
He looks at the girl at the other team's bench. She's more ruthless than I thought, he thought stretching his arms.
"Oi Kise are you listening?" Kasamatsu smacks the blonde upside his head. Kasamatsu frowns. "Don't joke around because someone you like is on the other side of the bench."
"He's right Kise, she's pretty but she's serious," Moriyama wiped the sweat off of his forehead. "And she's insanely a great manager."
"Don't worry senpai, that's why I like her," Kise smiles, "She is unrealistically good because she says she isn't good at anything else."
The team hears a cough from their coach. They all turn their attention to him. Kise tightens his fist. I have to stop holding back.
"Did you know, Ryota, that everything is an equation?" she smiled at Kise whilst eating her sundae. Kise laughed.
"Is that so? Well I'd be screwed since I'm not that good at math," he says, dribbling the ball.
"It's not like that Kise-kun for example, stand at the edge of the court over there." The girl instructs. He follows and stares back at the girl who eyes him then the hoop. She walks over to the other side, now directly opposite of him at the other edge of the court. "Shoot."
"I don't see the point of this." He whines.
"Just do it," she sighs. He does and he misses.
"You know I can't shoot at that distance," he says. The girl shakes her head and grabs the ball, rolling it over to him.
"Try reducing your angle by 7 degrees and adding more power about 10 percent," she advises. He tries his best to follow and by surprise it…
It went in.
But those precious moments…
…would we be able to return them if I beat you?
"Kise," he hears. He takes a peek at who said that and sees Kasamatsu.
"If you two really liked each other, this game won't change a thing," Kasamatsu punches Kise lightly. A smile tugged at the blonde's lips. He almost laughed.
That's right, he jogged back to the court.
What am I so worried about?
