Furihata woke up with loud ringing beside her bed. Groaning she shifted to the side and threw her hand towards the ringing and immediately sat up at the sound of her alarm clock hitting the ground. Throwing her bedsheets to the side she groaned and stretched, sighing happily at the relaxing sensation of her back popping. Furihata leaned down to pick up her alarm clock, placed it on her desk, and got ready for the day.
She exited her bedroom quietly and walked to the kitchen to prepare a quick breakfast which would consist of a simple bowl of leftover rice and vegetable soup from the day prior. She heated the soup and rice back up before rushing back to her bedroom to grab her backpack. Double-checking to make sure everything she needed was there Furihata quickly tiptoed back to the kitchen and grabbed a bowl to serve herself.
She sat alone on the kitchen table and sighed at the familiar flavor of the now warm soup. The brunette quickly finished up and whispered a simple goodbye to the household, unsurprised when no one answered back, before shutting the door and exiting the house, making sure to lock it on her way out.
'Here goes nothing.' She thought anxiously, gripping her backpack tightly.
As she walked she did a quick rundown of everything she had learned that night prior about the generation of miracles and their predicted schools.
'I estimated yesterday that Aomine Daiki was most likely going to join Teiko.' she recalled. 'Since the school is known to favor individuality over team cooperation he would fit in perfectly with the new recruits that I've heard will be joining Teiko as well.'
She frowned in thought, flinching as she nearly bumped into another student. Seeing a flash of blue hair from the corner of her eyes she turned back to apologize only to find no one next to her. Shivering she quickened her pace and sighed in relief as the school gates arrived in view
Furihata gulped and walked ahead for a bit more before recalling something.'What about his shadow though…...The so-called phantom...The sixth miracle….I wonder what school he chose to go to... from what I managed to figure out he and the generation of miracles weren't really all that close their last year.' She thought, remembering Kise Ryouta's vague posts on his social media.
'In other words...I think that him going to school with one of them is most likely impossible.' She concluded, frowning. 'I guess I'll just have to wait and see.'
She sighed in relief as she passed the gates. As she expected, nervousness arose as she passed by all the clubs who were desperately searching for new members. She quickened her pace, looking for any signs of Seirin's recently young basketball team.
She flinched in shock as her wrist was suddenly gripped tightly, and she nervously turned around. "Y-yes?" She stuttered nervously.
"You'd be perfect for the baseball team." The person currently holding her wrist exclaimed. "Please be our manager…. You're adorable!" They exclaimed.
"I-I-I'm sorry." She apologized, bowing. "But I already have a club in mind." She quickly said, turning to walk away.
Furihata sighed in relief as he, albeit grudgingly, let her go. She wandered around for a bit more before finally finding what looked to be maps of the club events. She smiled as she finally found the directions towards the basketball team's booth, and she paced towards it, glancing nervously side to side for more desperate recruiters.
As she walked towards the general direction of the said booth she noticed a tall redhead holding what looked to be a student by their uniform. Curiously she decided to follow him to see what exactly the taller male was planning to do with the student. Her eyes widened in understanding as she realized in which direction he was heading in exactly. 'His tall height will certainly be of incredible use to the team...seeing as many of them aren't exactly what many would call "tall" in the basketball team.' She mused humorously.
She watched the tall male for a bit more and smiled proudly as she noticed the two upperclassmen, and immediately remembered their names 'Guess my research did pay off.' She giggled.
Furihata waited for the redhead to approach the booth and held back a snicker at the scared and awed expressions in the current captain and coach, Hyuuga and Riko's, face as the redhead finally set the student down. She silently observed as the four conversed and patiently waited for it to die down. As the other two males finally left she quickly placed her palm on her chest and breathed in deeply before finally approaching them.
"Hello, Riko-senpai." She bowed. "I would like to join the basketball club." She said quietly.
They both turned to look at each other, in confusion, and she quickly interrupted them, knowing most likely where their thoughts were heading."N-not to play…" She stuttered. "I'm here to apply for the manager's position." She finished, blushing.
She watched as their faces brightened in realization and Hyuuga quickly snatched up a registration form. "Of course." He exclaimed enthusiastically. "The post is yours." He continued smiling. "Just fill in this registration form and you'll be good to go."
Furihata nodded shyly. "Thank you Hyuuga-senpai"
She proceeded to fill in all the necessary blanks before handing it back to the current coach.
"That'll be all," Riko stated, smiling kindly at the girl. "Meet us at the gym after your classes end."
Furihata nodded and smiled shyly down at her. "I'm going to head inside then." She said, bowing once more. "Thank you for allowing me to apply for the manager's position." She cheerfully waved before walking off, unaware of the gaze coming from a certain blue-haired male.
The two upperclassmen waved back before Hyuuga turned to look at Riko in confusion. "Did you give her our names?" He questioned.
"What of course not you've been here this whole time." Riko snapped, irritated. "Pay more attention next time."
Hyuuga frowned. "How did she know our names then?"
Riko's eyes widened, before a smirk slowly spread across her face. "Looks like we got ourselves an interesting manager eeh?" She said chuckling.
Hey Hey Hey!
