"Damn this is too long." Aomine said as he looked at the two paged manuscript.
"Its not too long." Ayuzawa answered, and he rolled his eyes at her, but he noticed that she was busy doing something so he walked over to her and saw her tying some bandages on her fingers.
"What happened, you cut yourself?" she was surprised to see him already beside her looking at what she was doing.
"Yeah, I cut myself." She faked a smile and stood up. "So tell me what you've exactly learned with that manuscript."
"Can't you cut my part?" he scratched the back of his neck.
"No." she answered. "You probably don't know it, because you haven't read it yet."
"I have."
"No you haven't." her hand massaged her temple, seemingly a headache was forming. "Its no use, we can't continue with you having no idea about it." Abruptly, she sniffed.
"Runny nose?" he teased as she reached for a tissue.
"Shuddup." Ayuzawa's voice was muffled while she uses the tissue.
"We can't continue if you're going to say 'Achoo' all the time." Aomine teased
"I have a cold. ACHOO stands for Autosomal dominant helio-opthalmic outburst or commonly known as hay fever. I'm pretty sure this is not caused by an allergen." She sniffed again.
"You even know the meaning of that?" Aomine asked and she nods.
"Let's just continue when you're ready." She walked out of the home econ room, it looks as if she was in a hurry, Aomine shrugged, if she goes out that meant going home early.
They won against Seirin, of course they would because he's there, that's what Aomine always think even though he came late at the match, knowing full well that Kagami was no match for him.
He was walking smugly towards their classroom but saw no sign of his silver-haired partner, he was going to ask for her assignment.
"Oh, Aomine-san?" Aomine was about to exit the room when he heard someone call him, she was their class representative, Yuki*. "I thought its someone…" she said before placing some papers on Ayuzawa's desk.
"She didn't get those?" he asked, eyeing the papers.
"Oh…Ayuzawa-chan's not on class today." Yuki answered with a timid smile before she left the room.
"She said it was easy." Aomine mutters while trying to read the paper. Speaking of her, she's not around in class today, wonder what she did?
"She?" Momoi asked as she heard him. "Who's she? And what's that?" she glanced on the paper. "First-aid notes? For the demo? Geez… we're lucky we don't have your PE teacher as ours."
"Yeah you're lucky." He sighed. "Don't you have any date today?"
"I do! Good of you to ask. How about you? Don't you have any practice today?" Momoi smiled, thinking of Kuroko.
"Good for you...I'll go ahead then, I'm gonna check some new idol mag issues." Aomine waved a hand and left her. He went to the closest convenince store but was annoyed because the old issue's still on display, after a few minutes he went out. He was lazily walking until he saw a silver haired girl walk along the street and he watched her buy something in the drug store, she was wearing a long sleeved shirt and some sweat pants (ungirly at all), not to mention she wears a face mask. When she went out, Aomine was already in front of her, grinning. "Yoh, Ayuzawa."
She had the look of surprise as she stopped in front of him. "Aomine?" he also noticed that her face was quite flushed.
"You're sick, aren't you? That's why you're not in class." Aomine grinned. " 'Can't believe you can get sick."
"Idiot, everyone can get sick. But I'll be fine." She points at the products she bought. "I'll be going ahead then, I hope you'll memorize your part for our practice tomorrow."
"Are you sure you're gonna be alright tomorrow?" he looked quite concerned. "And what's with that type of food?"
"I need them for my mental matters since I need to study. You do know glucose is a food for the brain." She coughed a little while turning her back on him and continuing her walk, however she sensed that he's still following her. "What?" She said when she turned around.
"What? I'm walking you home." He said. "Can't let people blame me when you're missing."
"I'll be fine. Don't bother." She said and walked but he's still beside her. "Seriously!"
"Hey I'm not doing anything bad...what? Ya' hiding something in your house?" Aomine snickered.
"I'm not." She coughed a little, facing her back to him. "Ugh...suit yourself."
"Why are you the one buying, by the way? You're sick."
"Because I had to do things on my own." Ayuzawa answered, perplexing the tall guy beside her.
Ayuzawa's house, or rather unit (since she lives in the third floor of an apartment complex) was really close by, just a few walks from the convenience store. He went up and was about to say goodbye since she's home safely.
"Do you want a drink or something before you go?" Ayuzawa offered, surprising him.
"Wow? Are you really asking that to me?" Aomine teased.
"Yes I am. Do you want or not?" She annoyingly answers, when he nods, she opened the door of her unit then moved aside to let him in before she closed the door. "Just wait here." She said as she adjusts her mask.
Aomine looked around and was not that surprised to see Ayuzawa's home to be plain, the ceiling is painted in a pearl white color, everything laid out with simplicity, No television, picture frames and Mags, just books in the coffee table. He sat on the sofa and saw her book opened, seems like she's doing her assignment.
"Damn...You're doing your assignment even in that condition? Where are your parents?" He asked as he reads the book.
"My parents got divorced when I was 3, and I lived with my mom... however, she died when I was a first year in junior high." She came from behind and hands him a glass of water. "My dad married another woman and they live in Okinawa now."
"Oh...Sorry." somehow he felt guilty for asking, he took a sip from the glass of water she gave, while she sat across him. "So that's the reason why you do all the things on your own."
"Yes... unlike you or other normal people, I have no one to depend so I rely pretty much on my ability." She coughed again. "Excuse me."
"No its alright." He stood up, making her stand too. "I guess I'll head home." Aomine said before he walks to the door and she followed.
"Thanks somehow for getting me home, though I could do that on my own." She said leaning on the door frame.
"The simple thanks is enough." He snickered. "See ya at school when you're alright."
"Sure...Oh and please, memorize your lines."
"Yeah, yeah I got it." He said before he waived a hand and strolled out of her apartment. He thinks that he can somehow understand why she's been the way she is.
"She's just not the type to show weakness to anyone." Aomine thought while he walks toward his abode.
The next day, when Aomine entered their classroom, he saw Ayuzawa, reading a book and scribbling something, she looked fine now. "Hey." He said as soon as he reached her seat.
"Good morning." She said not even looking at him.
"Are you alright now?" he asked.
"I'm fine." she closed her book and faced him.
"Bad blood, huh?" Aomine teased before he moved back to his chair.
"Aomine-kun?" knowing the only person who call him that way, he looked at the door and saw her, Momoi, there and waving a hand at him, he also saw the guys in his room, looked at her and blush.
"What do you want?" Aomine asked as soon as he left the room.
"I'm just reminding you of practice." Her hands were on her waist, then she peeks at his room and saw the mysterious silver haired girl he spends his time with most of this days.
"Whatever." He retorts. "If that's all, go on to your next class." He scratched the back of his neck and the pink haired girl bid goodbye.
As soon as Aomine went back in the room, his male classmates were saying how lucky he is, that's why he rolled his eyes at them, He glanced at Ayuzawa and he saw her looking at Momoi, then she went back to her book.
"Have you memorized your lines?"
"I'm doing it." He said reading the manuscript but Ayuzawa saw a magazine beneath.
"We can continue the practice when you memorized them, tell me when you're ready, let's call it off today again." She said and walked up to her seat not waiting for his approval or reply.
It didn't usually bother him, but there's something off with her attitude today, that's why he can't help but observe her the whole day which made him notice some things about her, how she was very fast at writing, how she looked really serious in their math subject, how she silently answers their teachers' questions. She also had this sombre expression all the time and when she's not interested her chin rests on her palm and when she's into the topic her eyes bright up and she leans back on her chair then listens to their teacher's rant.
At the end of their class the two of them went out of the room at the same time, though they don't have any business with each other.
"Aomine-kun!" He wasn't surprised to see his childhood friend appearing in front of him again, He's pretty sure, Momoi's going to rant about practice. However, the pink haired gal turned her attention to the other female. "Oh Ayuzawa-san? Right?" Momoi greets. "How're you?"
"I'm fine." Ayuzawa answered with a meek smile, she remembers Momoi from before.
"Neh? Are you busy? Do you two have a practice?" Momoi asked.
"Don't worry we don't have a practice, so I won't be meeting with him, if you excuse me, I'll be leaving ahead." Ayuzawa let off that negative vibe as she left the two of them.
"Is there something wrong?" Momoi asked, surprised by her and she looked at her friend, Aomine, who also looked as surprised as she is.
"I don't know?" Aomine watched Ayuzawa's retreating form, he's pretty sure he didn't say anything bad to her, maybe he did but that couldn't be that bad...
