Remembering those times hurts.
I smiles weakly, as I grab today's lucky item. Oha-Asa doesn't help in making myself any better, I'm twelfth today. Sighing, I grab a basketball and walk to school.
Along the way, I begin to think about him again. Am I quite a bit of masochist? Even though I know it will hurt me… I still do.
I bounce the basketball to the street, listening to the bouncing sound. I want to train more… so I won't lose against that guy. If he ever come back.
He will. No, he must. He can't leave me alone just like that.
That bastard…
You said you want to play with me? Bring it on!
Heh. As if that will happen.
I sigh. It's been a long time since I last embraced those memories with him.
Whatever. I will just wait for him to come. He will come, I believe he will.
I will not lose, Bakao. Do you know, I never miss if it's still in the offensive side.
Back then, we only played two-point shots and three-point on the line. I can do the centerline as well now. I will train so my range would be the entire court. I promise, I will work hard.
So…
Please…
Come back…
I huffed. I know I'm twelfth today, but this is too much. I've brought my lucky item, but that painful memories just won't go away. Let alone go away, it even won't fade. I can still remember every single details of it. Especially…
The sad expression of his.
The unique smile of his.
The warmth when he's one second to disappear.
It's memorable, and in the same time, too painful to be remembered.
Tell you, Bakao, you shouldn't do that.
If you didn't do that back then… there will be an opportunity… at least…
At least you are here with me…
A laugh interrupts my thoughts, and I, almost crushing my lucky item for today, which is an oshiruko. I glare at a bunch of loud boys, indirectly telling them to shut up. But one person who has its back on me seems to not receive my signals, and continue laughing loudly, which annoys me so much.
"SHUT UP!" I threw the oshiruko, flying high with an extremely high arc, and hit the boy's head perfectly.
"Ow! It hurts, Shinchan!" The boy shouts, but then realizes what he just says.
"Bakao…" I can't believe my eyes.
"H-huh?" He look confused.
"You came back after all." I try to hold my smile back, but failing miserably.
"Uh… Who are you?" The boy frowns. "And why am I calling you…"
My smile immediately fades.
