Chapter 28: New Semester

The cherry blossoms floated all around her as she walked into their school, ready to begin the new school year. Who would have thought that it a year would have already passed since she started high and here she is now, on her first day as a second year in Nankatsu High School. Man where did the days? It seemed just like yesterday she entered Nankatsu as a first year.

It seemed like yesterday that she found out that he was coming back to Japan.

But it's already been months since he was back, within than short amount of time, already a lot has happened.

Both of them let Nankatsu win Nationals. He also led the U-16 All Japan Junior Youth win the International Junior Youth League. They've won the Autumnal Prefectural Cup.

She also confessed to him in that span of time. And although he was surprised by her confession, he said that he was willing to give them a chance, and just wait for him until he could return her feelings wholeheartedly.

It was something she couldn't believe, but with all those nights under the stars, their hands intertwined as much as possible, and the secret looks they shared, it was really the truth.

"Oi Anego!"

She looked to see who called for her and wasn't surprised to see Ishizaki-kun waving for her from where he was by the boards. Ayame, who left her back in the streets because she thought she was too slow, was already on the sides, talking to their huge group of friends. She probably already saw what class she was going to be in this year and was stalling time before school starts.

She quickened her pace and reached her friends, greeting them all a good morning.

"What took you so long?" her cousin demanded. "It took you five minutes longer than necessary. You should have been here at least two minutes ago."

She stuck her tongue put to her before replying. "I wanted to take my time getting here."

"Well you sure did because now it's harder to search the board for your class. It's already congested around there."

Before she could reply she felt an arm wrap around her shoulder.

"Yo," she looked up to side to see Tsubasa, who finally arrived. "What's up everyone? What's all the fuss about?"

"Well, good morning to you too, sunshine," she greeted him with a smile, pinching him lightly on the cheek.

Usually, their friends would take this chance to tease both of them by how close they are right now, but for some reason they never said anything, ever since they started showing how comfortable they were being near each other.

Although she did sometimes see the smile they get whenever the two of them did something very couply.

"Apparently, Ayame thinks that the area around the boards it too crowded for us to see which class we're going to be in this year," she calmly explained as she released his cheek.

Tsubasa turned away from her to look where the boards are. "Woah, that is a lot of people." He exclaimed. "Most of them are taller than us too."

"My point exactly!" Ayame interrupted. "You're going to be late if you guys don't see it in time."

The two of them looked at each other and blinked.

"Piggy back?" Tsubasa asked her.

She nodded, "Piggy back."

She then turned back to her cousin and offered her back to her. "Hold my bag for a sec, will you?" Tsubasa asked the same thing from Misaki-kun.

The two took it from them in confusion, their other friends mirroring the same expression. Their puzzlement only fueled when Tsubasa kneeled on one knee while facing away from her.

She quickly jumped on his back, and he standing just as quickly. After making sure that they were both comfortable she exclaimed:

"Charge my mighty stead! We need to see what class would be before school starts!"

And Tsubasa followed as he ran towards the boards, with her on his back, laughing all the way.

If they looked back, they would have seen Ayame smacking her head with her hand.

"Those two are such dorks," she mumbled to herself.

"Well, what can you expect?" Wakabayashi crossed his arms. "It's Anego and Tsubasa. She's the only one who can really make him think of anything that's not soccer."

"Right, because you guys can."

Wakabayashi only glared at the petite girl who smirked in victory.

He only scoffed before turning back to the two, who were still by the board trying to get a glimpse of their classes.

"Did you find our names yet?" Tsubasa asked as he tried to peer over the other students' heads, all the while trying to keep Sanae from falling. "My back's starting to ache from holding you."

"Just a suck it up for a little longer, I'm close to finding it," she assured him as she glanced at all the names on the board. "There we go! I found them. Hey, would you look at that. We're in the same class again this year."

"Really?"

"Yep," she answered. "Our names are even right after each other."

"That's awesome."

"I know," she said as she put her chin on her head. "Now come on, horse. We should get back to where everyone so we can tell them about this before we go to class."

"Fine, fine your highness," he grumbled as he walked them away from the crowd towards their friends.

"Look whose back," Izawa remarked as they reached them again. "How was your ride on your mighty stead, Anego?"

"It went well, Izawa-kun," she answered as she jumped down from Tsubasa's back, who gave their friend a small glare. Izawa only smirked back.

Misaki gave Tsubasa back his bag, which he took back gratefully. "So did you guys find out your classes?" he asked.

"Yeah," Tsubasa replied. "Apparently both of us are in the same class again this year." Then he glanced Sanae who was beside him. "Though she never did told me what class it would be."

"Class B," she told him without skipping a beat and turned back to her conversation with Ayame, Shiori, and Rika.

"Gotcha."

Misaki sighed in disappointment. "That's a bummer," he remarked. "It's a shame we won't be the same class then."

"That is a bummer," Tsubasa agreed. "So what class are you in then?"

"Class A," Misaki answered. "With Mr. Grumy," he gestured to Wakabayashi who glared at him, he ignored it, "and Ms. Sarcastic over there with Anego." he pointed to Ayame who cried an indignant "Hey!" in offense. Misaki just gave her a smile to which she huffed at. "Shiori-chan is the only sane person I have to keep me from going mad."

"I hope you step on a Lego," Ayame grumbled which Misaki only rolled his eyes at.

"The others are also in different classes," Misaki explained to him. "So I guess it's just you and Anego this year."

Misaki then gave him a sly look. "At least you guys are alone. Hopefully you'll manage to get a grip with yourself and finally get together with her."

Tsubasa blushed lightly and elbowed his friend. But he took a glance to Sanae, who was laughing at something Taki said.

"Yeah," he said with a tender smile, something that Misaki didn't fail to notice. But he didn't say anything. He trusted what Tsubasa will decide.

"Sanae-senpai!"

They heard a voice call out to her.

They all turned to look at the direction at where it came from only to see an unfamiliar girl (to the three of them anyway. It looked their friends knew her) running towards them, wearing Nankatsu's High light blue uniform. Her yellow ribbon she had on clearly signified she was a first year.

"Senpai!" the girl cried as she latched on Sanae, with tears on her eyes. "I finally found you. Oh I miss you so much."

"There, there Miho-chan," she comforted sheepishly. "Didn't you just see me yesterday back when you visited the shop with your little sister?"

Miho looked up to her, sniffing her nose. "But that was so long ago!" she sobbed and hugged her again. Sanae could only sigh in defeat and hugged her back halfheartedly.

"Who's she?" Tsubasa whispered to Misaki, who shook his head to signal that he didn't know the girl.

"Wow, Miho, I can totally feel the love," Ayame remarked as she went to her cousin and the first year.

Miho unlatched herself from Sanae and flung herself to Ayame. "Ayame-senpai," she cried as she hugged the girl tightly.

"Too tight, Miho," the older girl gasped. "I can't breathe."

Miho only gripped on her tighther as Ayame looked towards them, asking for help.

Sanae only smirked and gave her a peace sign, as if saying that Ayame was the one who got herself into it, she should be the one to get out of it.

Luckily, Miho caught a glimpse of Shiori who was discreetly trying to hide behind the tall Wakabayashi to no avail. The first year quickly let go of Ayame and jumped towards Shiori.

"She seems pretty close with you guys," Tsubasa remarked just as Sanae moved to stand beside him.

"Oh, Miho-chan?" she replied. "Yeah, she's one of the first years we've waiting for this year. We had a problem on how we were going to keep Nationals for the second year in junior high and luckily, her and a few others appeared."

"They must be good if they could have kept up with you guys," he said to her teasingly.

"Considering that they did win Nationals for Nankatsu for the fourth year in a row," she looked to him from the corner of her eyes in the same manner. "Then yes, they're that good."

She almost laughed out loud from seeing his jaw dropped, but managed to keep it in by looking away from him and biting her lip.

"Oh my gosh, is that really the Oozora Tsubasa standing beside Sanae-senpai?" Miho gushed in front of them.

Oh god, he hoped she's not going to be his fangirls. They were already as bad as it was. Just remembering Valentine's Day gave him shivers.

"The one and only," Ayame confirmed.

Miho's eyes sparkled brighter than before. "They look so much cuter in person!" She said as she turned back to Ayame.

Wait, what?

"Aren't they, Miho-chan?" Shiori said to the first year. "We think it's only a matter of time before they hook up. They've been closer than ever."

Miho squealed in response and turned back to them, which unintentionally made him flinch and move closer to Sanae.

"My name is Akazashi Miho, Tsubasa-senpai," she introduced herself enthusiastically. "And I think you and Sanae-senpai make a cute couple. Also, the children you guys will produce will gorgeous."

Uh…

He didn't even need to see that both Wakabayashi and Misaki were dumbfounded as he was.

"Okay, Miho-chan," Sanae said as she stepped before him. "That wasn't really an ideal way to introduce yourself. Not to mention embarrassing some people. But why don't you just run along for now and meet up with Fuyumi-chan and Kimiko-chan. Class is about to start too."

"B-but Sanae-senpai-"

"Now, Miho-chan."

Miho sighed dejectedly. "Fine," she pouted. "We'll be by the soccer field in the afternoon to turn in our application." With that, she ran from them, but there was a certain bounce in them that just screams happiness.

"Well, now that's over with," she turned back to them. "Why don't we all get to our classes before we become late? And get rid of that smirk Ishizaki-kun. You look more like a monkey with it. Also, stop sniggering Taki-kun. It makes you sound like you're having breathing problems. I don't really want to run you to the hospital on the first day of school."

"A-anego!"

She then turned away from them and started to walk forwards. "Chop, chop everyone. Time waits for no one. Let's go."

The last thing he heard before he followed her was Ayame whispering (to Misaki probably), "She's so flustered right now."

He would agree, but even he was flustered. Who just tells people that the babies they would make would be gorgeous?

Though, it was comforting that other people see them look good together.

He finally caught up with her and walked alongside her.

"So," he started. "Apparently our babies would look gorgeous huh?" though he still couldn't help but tease her further.

In an instant she flushed a light pink. "Oh god, can you just ignore Miho, please," she pleaded. "She- she's fascinated by human genetics and she wants to be a geneticist when she grows up so the first thing she thinks when she meets someone are the traits they could pass onto their child."

He laughed and threw an arm around her. "Hey, at least we know our children would be great."

That- That came out wrong.

"…Should I look more into that, or?"

"Yeah, let's that talk about something different."

"Agreed. Let's do that before we embarrass ourselves any further."

He took his arm from her shoulder and they started to talk about something different, something that didn't involve talks of what their children would be (when) if they have them.

They were in the middle of talking about how fast Daichi's been growing when they reached their room. They took a quick look to the seating chart taped on the blackboard and was surprised to see that they were seating beside each other.

Huh, that's weird.

"Ah!" Sanae exclaimed from beside him. She was looking somewhere while he was still skimming the seating chart to see who would be in there class. "Subaru-kun, you're in this class too?"

Well, at least they know one other person. Though Koizawa wasn't really someone he wanted to be in there class.

There was just something off about him whenever he was near Sanae. His demeanor would change, his tone would get softer, and his eyes would get tender whenever he looks at her.

It was just like the look he gives her whenever they were alone.

He knew then, that Koizawa liked her.

Sanae walked towards where Koizawa was, and he followed because apparently, the three of them were sitting side by side, with Sanae in the middle.

He took the seat on Sanae's left, while she was facing her right talking to Koizawa.

Koizawa peered to him over Sanae's head and their eyes met. After a few seconds, Koizawa turned his attention back to her, listening as she chattered about his little brother.

Koizawa might think that he might have a chance, but he was sure not going to lose.
