I do not own Kuroko no Basuke, but I do own the OC.

The time period is around the same time Kise joined the club, so he's not in first string just yet. Hopefully, this chapter isn't too boring for any of the readers, but hey, progress is better than nothing.

Thanks to hitmitsu shadow for following the story as well as Pyromaniac 2.0 for following and favoriting!

Special thanks to GneFeng for not only following my story and favoriting, but for following me and favoriting me as an author! Thank you very much! :)

To everyone who reviewed on the whole problem that I've been having: Thank you for your support! As for the answers that I've recently received, they were mostly for "Depends on my opinion as the author", which made me come to the conclusion of doing this: I'm going to try and make a DRABBLE series. I don't know when I'll make it, but maybe when things aren't as hectic.

As for this story, I will have chapters that are going to be in normal format as a way to test things out. It's been a while since I've done something like that, so I need to get used to it again. When will these chapters come around? It all depends.

Dear Mayuzumi-sama,

Have you ever felt like you stick out like a sore thumb not only for your age, but for your relation to your mother, and to a certain extent, father? I feel incredibly socially awkward at this doctor's party right now. Please save me from the awkwardness.

I'm hiding inside the bathroom for all this to be over, to go home, and sleep for days with happy dreams about stationary sales.

Dear Sake,

What's with you and hiding in the bathroom for safety?

Are you the only teenager there? Your parents?

Mayuzumi

Dear Mayuzumi-sama,

I don't know! It's not my fault that the bathroom was one of the few places in the entire building that had comfortable seats. Honestly, what's with party chairs being so stiff and uncomfortable?

Eh, Midorima eventually found me standing near the door, looking like I was about to run out screaming for freedom.

It took him a while to find me because of the numerous amount of people who talked to him, but his responses were straighter than a ruler and shorter than a letter from you. We were one of the few teens who attended. The others were, as Midorima put it, "more insufferable and idiotic than a week with you for tutoring over Math," which seems a bit extreme, considering how bad I am at Math. Then again, I didn't question him about it since I kept thinking of my own cousin who was a bit screwy in the membrane for love.

Since my mother is a head nurse and my dad is a traveling business man, people expect me to know what they're doing in their job fields and whatnot. All I knew about them was that my dad was somewhere in America doing business, my mother's the head nurse, and her boss' son was tutoring me because of how crappy I am at my school subjects. I didn't say it like that, but that was the gist. After that, I just hid away from anyone as much as I possibly could.

Dear Sake,

Did you actually hide in the stalls?

I can imagine people around our age being stupid. It's pretty obvious.

I thought you'd blabber on about other things with other people. You seem like the type to do that.

Mayuzumi

Dear Mayuzumi-sama,

No, there was a sofa in the bathroom. Don't ask me why there was a sofa in the bathroom, there just was.

Eh, me too.

I am the type to do things like that, but if the person that I'm talking to is narrowing down subjects like my parents' work or anything that I don't really know, then I struggle to come up with any material to really talk about.

From,

Sake

Dear Sake,

Seriously, why did they put a sofa in a bathroom of all places?

From,

Mayuzumi

Dear Mayuzumi-sama,

I don't know. Ask the people that run the place.

Speaking of awkward social gatherings, guess who tried to take me and Midorima out on a Saturday?

It's pretty damn obvious who.

Dear Sake,

Sunshine?

Dear Mayuzumi-sama.

DING DING DING! You got it!

We were just studying one afternoon when all of a sudden, Sunshine declared that we should hang out the next day as a celebration for working so hard. Midorima and I shared a look of inward cringing because the one thing that we were both bad at was awkward social gatherings.

At first, Kise was really insistent about the whole subject, giving us both the puppy dog eyes and quivering lip. Midorima had a killer glare on his face while I've seen worse from my cousin who would change from a crying wreck to a wrecking ball of utter destruction in half a second. He eventually won us over by saying that we'd go to places that all of us would enjoy, one location for all three of us. After debating and reasoning with the concern over money, transportation, and whatnot, we reluctantly agreed. Around ten o'clock, we moved out.

Our first destination happened to be at this little shop where Midorima stopped by for all his lucky items. Sunshine and I wandered around the place looking at all the cool stuff laying around. Statues of bears, glass swans, and even a miniature bicycle, the shop seemed to offer the strangest array of objects that were ever seen in one place. Midorima was trying to find a pair of headphones, which seemed relatively simple enough from someone who brought in kiddie tubes and swirly-eyed glasses. Fortunately, they had them in his signature color and no other color, much to his annoyance and our amusement.

After a while of roaming around, we had lunch at a cute little maid cafe. As Midorima and I feared, the maids were all squealing at the sight of Sunshine. However, it wasn't just him that caused them to act so fangirly. Apparently, Midorima's reputation as a basketball player along with his prim and proper look aided him in getting spaced-out glances from some of the maids. However, one of the butlers took our order before someone else could. When the butler guy went back to the kitchen for our orders, Kise and Midorima were staring after the guy, which prompted me into asking the near infamous question, "What's wrong?"

Kise being Kise told me that the guy was acting strangely. I just brushed it off, telling them that it was nothing to really worry about. Maybe, the guy was a basketball fan and was secretly fanboying that Midorima was eating at their establishment, which Kise laughed to and said-greenette huffed at me in annoyance. Kise stayed behind for a bit, but when he exited, a group of his fangirls saw him and we all ran away in absolute fear.

By that time, it was around the early afternoon. Sunshine brought us inside this little shop. At the sight of the sign, I ran towards the door in fear. Midorima lifted and dragged me to the room where Kise was sitting. The greenette was glaring at me in a way that told me that if he suffered, then I suffered with him. It was karaoke.

Looks like the lucky item saved Midorima the embarrassment of hearing us laugh at him singing "It's Raining Men".

P.S. Unfortunately, we weren't able to go to the place I wanted to go since Kise's fans chased us around the city. It's kinda hard to miss him with his hair, but seriously, I hate fangirls sometimes. He doesn't try that hard to hide it either with his baseball cap and glasses.

Dear Sake,

Well, that's certainly entertaining to imagine. I can't really think of a place you'd take them, besides the stationary store.

From,

Mayuzumi

P.S. That's a really dumb costume. Of course, those fangirls would recognize him.

Dear Mayuzumi-sama,

Eh, at least I have the upcoming weekend off. That's always a good thing. Relaxing at home really is the best.

Sake
