Chapter Nine

Akira's P.O.V.

I sighed, irritated at the fact that I couldn't find the library in this large school. I guess my one week of attending here didn't even get me to memorize the huge landscape of this school. I mean I even tried making a map! But since I was annoyed, I ended up drawing swirls and butterflies on the paper instead. Before I continued on my oh-so-fun treasure hunt, I went by the cafeteria to buy every snack they had, since it calms down my aggravation. While I was wondering around the school, I stopped suddenly since I was out of breath already from all the walking all over the school. When I stopped, I saw a humungous gym, and thankfully, it seemed quiet enough. It looked like every building in this school was huge.

I ran to it and sighed in relief. I muttered to myself, "Finally." It appeared that every inch of this school was noisy and this gym was the closest right now and also quiet, so yay for me.

I reached the entrance and sneaked inside the gym. I heard a few rubber shoes squeak against the gym floor and some voices conversing with each other. I kept my head down and plopped down beside one of the basketball hoops. I slid out my laptop from my bag and typed down my password. I began to lose myself in my writing, but at the same time, occasionally peeking on the guys who were practicing when I wanted to get inspiration or was just bored. It was pretty interesting, I guess. I used to watch basketball games when I was in America and I slowly began to like it.

I was excited because I haven't had any time to write since it had been pretty busy in my new school which was Kaijo High and also, the fact that I had a major writer's block.

I snatched my earphones from my bag and plugged it to my laptop, so that I wouldn't be distracted by the noise. I put each bud in my ear and sighed in content when I pressed play on my playlist.

A voice from the outside world interrupted my abrupt reverie, "Hello?" He waved a hand in front of my face.

I clicked pause and my music stopped, turned to look at him, and unplugged one of my ears, "I'm sorry. What?"

"Ah, nothing." He waved his hands in a form of a gesticulation, "It's just weird because usually when a girl's in the gym, she'd most likely just stare at me the whole time." My eyes snapped to his.

He was that guy from the school's basketball team that everyone was talking about. He had blonde hair and you could say, golden eyes. He was wearing the standard uniform for every basketball member when in practice; a blue shirt and some basketball shorts.

"He seems like an asshole." I smirked for a bit, but eventually wiped it off my face.

"Your point..?" I wasn't really paying much attention in the whole conversation, but then he didn't say anything back for a moment, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude." I flashed him a small smile, but I was quickly losing interest.

"It's fine." He gave me a big smile, "It's just weird." He confessed to me.

"Oh…" I nodded absentmindedly.

"Oh yeah, what's your name?" He grinned at me a little bit.

I put my lips in a straight line, "Garcia Akira. Nice to meet you." I sent him a small smile, since he was trying to be nice.

"Kise Ryota. Nice to meet you too!" He gave me a full-blown smile. He seemed like a happy-go-lucky guy.

But then I heard more voices that were behind me, I silently groaned at the increase in population. I turned my head to see a group of guys that came from a different school and there was also a girl who was with them.

"Oi! Kise-san, stop fooling around, it's time for the game." A teammate of his shouted, he sounded pretty intense.

"Yeah, I'll be there." He shouted back and beamed at them.

His eyes found mine, "I'll see you soon, Akira-san." His eyes had a certain gleam in them. He was about to go, but he retraced his steps and stared back at me again.

"Oh, and will you cheer for me?" His tone was hopeful.

I just silently nodded at him. I mean why not? It's not like I'm going anywhere in my story with the writer's block I had. With that, he ran back to the court, so I stood up while holding my laptop like a baby and headed to the left side of the court, so that I could see the entire game.

They only used half of the whole court when they began the practice game. But not only that, they won't even let Kise play, because the coach said if he lets Kise play, it won't even be a match anymore. I almost did a Z formation snap and said, "Oh no, you didn't!"

So the girl, who I'm guessing is sorta the one that's in charge of the other basketball team, wasn't amused when she saw that our team wasn't taking them seriously. And if you saw the red-haired dude from the other team, you could see the anger coming off in waves from his body. In fact, he was so angry that he broke a basketball hoop. I cringed because that's where I was awhile ago. I could imagine myself being squashed by his huge feet.

So by that, they had to use the entire court. I can't really describe what had happened in the game, but what I knew was that Kise had a copying ability and that red-haired dude had major jumping power. Oh, and they let Kise play, because they were getting squashed by the other team. It was close, the game I mean. But they, Seirin High, had won by 100-98. By now, the whole gym was full, because of Kise's fangirls. It was obvious that they were here for him. Every five seconds in the game, they would scream his name with all the 'kya'-ing.

I was surprised though when Kise accidentally slapped-punched that cute light blue haired boy on the head. I almost jumped out of my seat and cried, I mean he was a like a little boy. But I did tear up a little bit. While I was sure Kise didn't mean it, I still felt bad about the blue haired dude.

I wasn't much paying attention to the whole game though, so I probably missed some details.

When the game was over, Kise had skipped over to me with a small towel around his neck, "I thought you said you'd cheer for me?" He pouted at me, looking like a lost dog.

"Well, I did." I concluded, "In my head." I pointed to my forehead and smiled slyly at him. Besides he had a crowd of fangirls that cheered for him.

"Akiracchi~" He whined, while I laughed silently. I caught the weird nickname that he gave me, but didn't mind it. He tried to latch onto me, but I avoided him so he landed on a bench near me.

"Don't touch me. You're all sweaty." I scrunched up my nose, but pulled my lips in a grin. He chuckled because he knew that I was joking, but seriously though, he was sweaty.

What'd you think? :) I was planning to make her a lil stuck-up

P.P.S. I'm fast-forwarding the time and made it seem like the events occurring in each chapter would be one after another. Also, please don't say that the practice match between Seirin and Kaijo High didn't happen on the first week, because I know. Lol. Or maybe it did? Please P.M. me otherwise. That would be much appreciated.

P.P.P.S. I won't be describing that much when there's a game going on, because I'm pretty sure that I'm not that good at it anyway. I'll try my best though.
