Author: Okay, guys. Sorry about the last chapter thing (to those who didn't like it). I just thought about giving myself a little break from this story but my conscience was bothering me if I don't update. So I made the previous chapter a little out of the story, well actually, it's really out of the story. So, do forgive me… (Keeps on bowing)
OKAY! BACK TO THE STORY but first let's have a review:
Mayumi and Saeki are having their history class.
"Where were you last night?" Saeki asked
"I was joining a party" Mayumi answered
"Oh… with Sengoku?" Saeki asked; Mayumi nodded
DISMISSAL
"Dismissed, minna!" Kentarou Aoi, the freshman captain, announced.
"Hai." All replied except for Oji, their coach.
Afternoon practice was finished earlier than the usual, so did the Archery club (Mayumi's club). Saeki decided to, you know, ask-her-out.
Mayumi and Saeki coincidently met at the main entrance…
"Konnichiwa, Mayumi-san." Saeki greeted.
"Konnichiwa." The girl greeted back. "Earlier than usual, I see."
"Same goes for you."
"Well…"
"Mayumi-san…"
"Yes?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Can I a-ask-" Saeki was cut
"Mayumi-chan! Konnichiwa!" a certain someone butted in, I mean, greeted.
"Sengoku-san? What are you doing here?" Mayumi asked
"I just want to walk with you today."
"Oh."
"Huh?" Saeki thought.
"Lucky! So, Ikusei!"
"Saeki-san, mata ashita." Mayumi waved her left hand.
"Uhhh… Mata ashita." Saeki said still can't believe what was happening.
Mayumi and Sengoku 'go out' together the following days…. Which gave Saeki no chance on asking Mayumi out… During classes, Saeki asked her if she has something to do on the afternoon. She then replied that she has a walk with Sengoku. So that means 'No'. Poor, poor, Saeki…
One day… someday… whatever…
After AFTERNOON PRACTICE…
"Today's practice is quite tough, isn't it?" Kurobane Harukaze, known as 'Bane', said.
"I don't really care." Kisarazu Ryou said.
"Leprechauns are good at tennis…..pffft." Amane Hikaru, known as David, gave a stipid pun and held his puny laughter.
KICK!
"Shut up, David." Bane said with stressmark
"TOOOOTTTT!!!" Itsuki Marehiko's nose blew…
"Minna-san, let's go and buy something to eat!"
ON A RAMEN SHOP
Everyone is having fun… well, maybe not everyone…
"Ne, Saeki-chan, daijobuka?" Kentarou asked his vice-captain
"…"
"Saeki?"
"…"
"Saeki-KUN!" Kentarou screamed but not in an idiotic tone… it's more on 'listen-to-me-bastard tone…
The others turned to the 2…
"Huh? Wha-a-yeah." Saeki replied
The others gave a confused brow except for David...
"Really, guys. I'm fine." Saeki assured them
"I don't think you are. And I think buchou and the others are thinking the same way." Bane said.
"Really?"Saeki asked them. The others nodded…
"Oh." Saeki said. He leaned on the wall behind him and stared at the ceiling… He then stared,….stared,…. Stared,…. And just stared at the ceiling… while the others just stared at him, 'is he sick?' they asked themselves.
"Did something happened, Saeki?" Bane broke the silence.
"…"
"Saeki?"
"…"
"Not again." Kentarou thought, as he hit his forehead…
"Oi! Saeki!" Bane said with stressmark due to irritation…
"…" Bane was sooo irritated… so…
KICK!
(Gasp)
"I-itai. Oi, Bane, why did you do that for?" Saeki asked, rubbing his head.
"I kept calling you for about a minute ago, you rock."
"Oh."
-SILENCE-
"ROCK?!" Saeki asked exaggeratedly.
"Yeah, ROCK! Bacause you suddenly freeze like a rock!"
"…"
"WHAT?! Isn't it true?!"
"I-AM-NOT-A-ROCK!!!"
"Oh.. Now you're answering, eh?"
"Yeah! Because I am NOT A ROCK!" Saeki said; he felt a hand on his right shoulder. Saeki turned around and found Kisarazu Ryou…
"Saeki… you're totally and seriously… sick…, aren't you?" Ryou said to the vice-captain
"No. Why?" Saeki defended himself…
"You're not yourself lately."
"I'm perfectly fine."
"No, you're not." Marehiko joined in…
"Yes, I am."
"You're not!" the others erupted like a volcano
"Yes, I am!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"See. You admit it! You're not!" Kentarou pointed
"I did not!" he felt a hand on his right shoulder AGAIN. Saeki turned and found Ryou AGAIN…
"You got girl issues, don't you?" Ryou asked
"EH?!" others screamed in confusion… wahahahah!!!
"ACHOOOO!!!" Mayumi sneezed while walking home…
"Daijobu, Mayumi-chan?" Sengoku asked
Yes… their together… just bear with it if you don't like them to walk together…
"mmm…" Mayumi nodded
"Looks like someone's talking about you…" he teased
"EH?! Impossible"
"Right…" in a 'like-I-believe-you' tone
"Cut it out, will yah?" she said calmly
"Hai… hai… hai."
-SILENCE-
"Ne, Mayumi-chan," his voice suddenly turned serious
"mmm?" Mayumi looked at the orange-haired boy
"Mou… I wonder how Mayumi-chan is dong." Eiji asked himself 'aloud'
"What are you worried about, Eiji-senpai?" Momo asked his senpai.
"Mayumi-chan"
"I thought she's not helpless." Fuji butted in.
"She isn't."
"Then why are you worried?" Momo asked
"Well…"
"WHAT?!!!" ryou asked in surprised…"Of all the girls in the world, why her?" he added.
"How should I know?" Saeki replied. Feeling a little embarrassed because of Ryou's reaction.
"Do you really have to ask that?...pffft." David said and as his usual self he just made a pun… or was it?
KICK!
"Was that even a joke?!" Bane said after he kicked his kohai behind the head.
"No. I was serious."
"Oh, owari."
"Pffft.." David held his laughter, and made a stress mark appear on one side of Bane's forehead.
KICK!
"TOOOOTTTT!!!!" Itsuki's nose blew. "Ne, I don't get what you guys are talking about."
"Me too." Kentarou said
"I don't think you need to know." Ryou stated
"What? As the captain of Rokkaku boys tennis club, I must know what's going on with my co-playes." Kentarou exclaimed.
"WHAT?! Oh no, no, no, NO I TELL YAH!!!" Mayumi said exaggeratedly…
"Oh, come on, Mayumi-chan." Sengoku gave his puppy eyes…
"Don't give me those eyes."
"…" still giving the puppy eyes…
"What part of 'NO' don't you understand?!"
"…" still doing it…
"No!"
"…" still doing it.
"If you think I'm gonna fall for that, huh, think again." Mayumi said as she crossed her arms…
"… and I thought it would work like last time." Sengoku pouted In disappointment while Mayumi, on the other hand, smirked. "…I know how to settle this…" Sengoku added and grinnned while Mayumi's smirk or smile worn out…
"I don't think I'm going to like this one bit." She thought. "What?" She asked Sengoku wearing an 'I-don't-think-I'm –going-to-like-this' face.
"Saeki?" Fuji asked Eiji about what Eiji told them earlier…
Uhhhmmm… about what they were talking about earlier… I'll know them as the STORY progress…
"Yeah." Eiji nodded.
