Why?
"M-my… my name is Fujii Koizumi."

She had already seen Sakuragi's friends several times watching his practices and yelling all sorts of friendly expletives at him. No matter how many times Haruko told her they weren't dangerous, she still feared them as the first day she introduced them to her. However, among the four ruffians there was one who left a very different impression on her: Yohei Mito. He had dark hair and eyes like a cloudy night, his features were pleasant, harmonious, his voice low, even his height was more reasonable, far from looking like a mountain like Akagi, Sakuragi, or even Rukawa.
When Haruko officiated the introductions, Fujii hid behind her back and muttered a shy greeting. None of the boys paid any more attention to her and continued to encourage Sakuragi in their own way: with shouts and more outbursts of all kinds. They didn't trust the boy to last more than a few days at the basketball club, but his friend had surprised them by spending one week on uninterrupted practice.
Yohei, with the school bag attached to his back, was watching standing unlike the rest of his friends who were crouched, disturbing Sakuragi by the ventilation slits on the sides of the large entrance door, which is why Haruko mentioned him separately. Fujii, still trembling slightly, shuddered to receive a smile from Yohei and then the greeting, which she replied in a voice even more tremulous than her legs.
