"Eimi, get up! Metro's are today! Do you hear me?"
I groaned. I hated getting up in the morning. Eiji and I might betwins, but we were completely different. I hated getting up, while Eiji loved getting up and brushing his teeth. If I could be nocturnal, I would. I would rather stay up late then wake up to the blinding light. I would never be able to get up on time of school if Eiji wasn't my opposite.
"Metropolitan today!" Eiji said shaking me and pronouncing every syllable individually. "You're also technically the manager!"
"I don't have to get up right now… I'll meet you there."
"Don't you want to be there to be with Tezuka and shield him from all those girls fan girling over him." He cleared his throat. "'Oh Tezuka' they say." He began mocking a girl voice. "'Tezuka be my girlfriend!' You need to be next to him! Talk to him during the games, flirt, and get closer. You have to make the other girls jealous! You got him, but they can't. It's so funny when he ignores those girls yelling his name."
"I'm pretty sure he's got better things to do then flirt with me."
"I guess because I'll make sure that doesn't happen, since you're not doing your job as a girlfriend."
"I'm not worried."
"Just be at my game, or there will be punishment! If you're late I'll make you lick Tezuka in front of everyone!"
I groaned. I slowly got up. "Happy?" I sat at the edge of my bed. "I'm up."
"Alright, now get ready! I'll meet you there and I will protect Tezuka from the other girls!"
"Alright." I rubbed my eyes. I really hated mornings.
I got up and walked to my dresser. Actually, it was more like a slow dragging of my legs. I just wish I was sleeping instead. I began debating if licking Kunimitsu was bad… but Eiji didn't say where...
I sighed.
I took out a few outfits. I was already wide awake. I picked out a simple outfit. Jeans shorts and a light blue t-shirt. I quickly brushed my hair and put it up in a side pony tail, my usual style. Usually, people wear their school uniform, but I hated the green they used in the uniform.
Eiji was most likely playing Doubles one, so I would have time before he plays, so I cooked some eggs. Every time I was doing something that didn't require my full attention I thought of Kunimitsu's kiss. It was really weird. I haven't thought about something so much before.
"You should hurry up and eat, you don't want to be punished by Eiji." My older sister, Miki, walked down stairs. She had darker hair than Eiji and I, and she kept her hair almost as long as mine. Although, she kept it down most of the time.
"He told you?" I said, hauling the eggs in my mouth. I was taking her advice.
"Yeah, he told me he was going to make you kiss your boyfriend, with tongue."
"Oh my gosh, he's so weird…" I sighed.
"He only cares about you, he's trying to be the older brother. I wonder what he'd be like if you weren't his younger sister. He loves you. When you were on your date, he wouldn't shut up about the possibilities of your date. He's glad you're happy." Miki got up. "Well, I gotta go to work. Tell me how Eiji's game goes and wish him luck for me."
"Alright, be safe." I said.
"Oh, before I go. Eiji wanted you to wear a tennis outfit." She quickly said.
I groaned. "I am not changing."
"Suit yourself. You risk being punished!" She teased and walked out the door.
I sighed and quickly cleaned my plate. I walked upstairs to my room and put my stupid blue tennis skirt and shirt. I took one last look on how ridiculous I looked and left the house with my bag.
When I got there it seemed like Doubles two was still on the court. It looked like they were playing Kamata middle school. I've never heard of them, but at the same time I had nothing to do with tennis for a while.
"Eimi!" Eiji yelled. "Over here!" Eiji said waving his arms, standing next to the other regulars.
"I thought you would be playing by now." I said.
"We would be, but we had to register at the last minute because someone was late." Eiji stared at the youngest regular. He just seemed to ignore him. "We could have been disqualified!" Eiji pouted. "Well, Oishi and I will be playing next, so we'll be okay! Thanks to the little one over there, you aren't late and you don't get punished."
"Hey, look over there. Is that Seigaku?" I overheard someone say. It wasn't much of an overhearing because he was talking so loud. Our school seemed to be famous in this tennis world.
"Man, that girl is cute."
"The girl in blue? Yeah. She looks like she's from Seigaku."
I looked at Eiji who had his big-brother-protective-face on. He glared at the boys talking about me. I didn't bother to turn around, though. Eiji looked prepared to do something to those guys if they were to talk to me.
"Eiji, I'm stealing your sister." Kunimitsu came out of nowhere and put his arm around me. "It's going to be hot today, so I'll get you a drink." We began walking toward the vending machines.
"Damn, she's with Tezuka." I saw the look on the guys faces. Utter disappointment.
I smiled. "You didn't have to do that, but it did look like Eiji was going to hurt them if they came near me."
"You're my girlfriend." He simply said.
"Well, I heard you have a pretty wide fan base throughout the other schools."
"Those girls that yell my name out obnoxiously aren't appealing to me."
I chuckled. "That's so mean. I bet you don't even give them acknowledgement."
"That's because I don't." He inserted yen in the machine and he got me some bottled strawberry milk.
"How did you know I like this?"
"I just figured that's what you liked when we were younger. I'm glad you didn't change much." He took my hand and began walking back to the courts.
"Do you want to go somewhere with me after the matches today?" He asked.
"I don't mind. You have to win at least one of your matches with a score of 6-0." I joked.
He smiled. "Alright. Just make sure you're watching."
The others, including Eiji and Oishi, won 6-0. Then everyone gathered to watch Kunimitsu's match. It was unbelievable. He barely let the other guy touch the ball. Everyone was in awe.
Eiji kept talking to me during the match. "It seems like he's trying to impress you."
"Why do you say that?"
"He keeps looking at you after he gets a point." Eiji said with a mischievous smile. "He never does that. It's nice seeing this side of captain Tezuka. At least he's protective of you too, the way he held you when the other guys were talking about you... It was awesome!"
"That's mostly your fault. Miki told me you wanted me to wear a tennis outfit. She told me I'd get punished if I didn't."
"30-love" the ref said. The use of love as zero was weird, I guess it made the other person feel a little better.
"I was just joking little sis. I'm just glad I won't be the only one protecting you from danger." He laughed. "But don't you think Tezuka looks good playing tennis? You can't keep your eyes off of him."
I blushed a little. It was hard not to look. He was flawless. It seemed like he floated like an angel as he played.
"40-love."
"Love, oh love." Eiji said.
I nudged him a little. "Stop… you're embarrassing me."
"Game and match, Tezuka. 6-0!" The ref called. Kunimitsu easily won his match. The other guy didn't seem to stand a chance.
Kunimitsu smirked, "So, if I win another match 6-0, do I get something even better?" he asked me as he walked out off the court. Eiji gave me a look after he said that…
