I noticed that something have changed from Hisashi-kun since yesterday. I know it's impossible for people to change so quickly but Hisashi-kun has totally change. From his 'bad guy reputation' to the Hisashi I know. Yesterday, I felt that I can't trust him anymore but now, he has earned my complete trust again.
"And here's the cafeteria, but I won't be asking you to eat there for today's lunch."
Hisashi was introducing me to every part of the Shohoku. I think it'll be better if I start calling it my 'school' now. I just realized that he really has changed. He grew up and I grew up too. Not together but apart still, we have so much in common.
The bell rang; he held my hand and rushed me to our classroom.
"The sensei's strict we better not make him angry."
"Right!"
I noticed that Hisashi was blushing when we passed by a lot of people walking to their classes.
"Why are you blushing Hisashi-kun?"
"Nothing. I'm not blushing."
I don't know why he's hiding the fact that he's blushing but he's definitely blushing. When we reached the classroom, he tried to catch some air. He was exhausted because of me, better console him and praise him.
"Are you all right Hisashi-kun?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks."
I handed him the bottle my dad made me bring to school and ask him to have some. He drank almost all of it. He must really be worn out from that entire running.
"Thanks."
He smiled at me. Knowing that it was one of my smiles he was expecting, I smiled back. He pinched my cheek and told me,
"You really haven't changed a lot. You're still cute."
I don't know how hard I blushed back then. But all I know is that I've made him happy.
The bell rang and it was time for lunch. Hisashi bought me lunch. He said it was a long time since he had given me something. I gave him a smile knowing it was what he was expecting. I don't know why since we were little; he likes my smiles a lot. He turned away, I saw him blushed. He led me to the campus ground and put his handkerchief on the ground and fluffed it up.
"Sit here."
"Thanks."
He sat on the ground next to me. He's such a gentleman! He opened his lunch and I opened mine. He held his spoon towards me.
"Say Aaah…"
I made a face telling him not to treat me like a child.
"Ok, ok, just open your mouth. This is the first time in years I'll do this again. I miss doing it."
With those words I felt like I had no chance, I opened my mouth and he entered the 'train' to the 'tunnel'. I felt like all the people looked at us and was starting to whisper about something. I'm sure it was about us.
"Hisashi, promise me you'll not do that again."
"Why? Don't you like it anymore?"
"I enjoyed that only as a kid. We're grown ups now."
"Ok."
I knew that Hisashi was disappointed with what I said. I didn't mean to hurt his feelings, I just don't want people to think of it some other way.
"I'm sorry Hisashi-kun. You can do it again when we're alone." I whispered to him.
"Really?"
"Yep."
I saw him lighten up again. I was so glad. When school ended, Hisashi asked me to go with him to the gym. I know that he was going to fulfill his promise.
"Please Anzai-sensei. Let me join the club again."
"Hai. Just promise me no more fighting and you will do your best."
"Hai, Anzai-sensei! I promise!"
"Terri-chan, you owe me something." He said as he was walking towards me. I knew it. He joined the club!
"Hey! A promise is a promise!"
"I've got to practice. Later!"
"Oh, no. I'm going to watch!"
He headed towards the locker room with his bag. He went out and the captain, Akagi introduced him to the rest of the members the true Hisashi Mitsui. I watched him practice. His shooting had gone bad! I went down and talked to Anzai-sensei. Hisashi saw me talking to the coach. I saw it in his eyes that he was wondering why I'm talking to the coach. He coach agreed to my idea. I walked over to the court towards Hisashi. All the members looked at me. I just shot an eye to Hisashi. Wonder if he got the thought. I head for the girl's comfort room and took off my uniform. Underneath my uniform are always a short and a hanging sleeveless shirt. I took off my shoes and wore my extra rubber shoes that I always bring around. Now, I'm ready to play ball. I headed to the court. All the players shot a confused look at me, even Hisashi.
"Everyone, I'm Terri Seiya, don't mind me, I mean us. I'm just going to teach Hisashi how to shoot."
Everyone looked at Hisashi. Hisashi shot a smile on me and I smiled back. We headed to the other court and…
"You knew my shooting is terrible already."
"Hai! That's why I asked Anzai-sensei if I could teach you what you've taught me."
"Hey! You're the teacher! Not me! I'm only the student!"
"Right, let's get down to the business."
I taught Hisashi how to shoot again just the way he taught me years ago. He remembered how to shoot fast and challenged me to a one-on-one. I accepted it. It was a three-point range challenge. Everyone stopped and watched us play. Of course, Hisashi won. He always did. After practice, I didn't change back already. Knowing I'm going to change when got home for the date I owe Hisashi. I waited for Hisashi to go out from the locker room. When he got out, he was being teased by his teammates.
"Hey, she's just my best friend. Come on!"
"Is she available?"
"I don't know."
"Ahem." I interrupted.
"Oh! Terri-chan, I would like you to meet Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede. Both are freshmen."
"Hi."
"Hi! Hisashi, come on." I said impatiently. The two freaks me out.
"Ok. Bye guys!"
Hisashi told me how he enjoyed playing basketball again. I told him he would like it. And he postponed our date because he was tired from the one- on-one. I was quite tired myself. He dropped me off and he kissed me on the cheek.
"That was one this I was trying to do years ago."
He smiled. I smiled back.
"Thanks for the lift home."
"You're welcome. And," He yawned, "Thanks for the one-on-one. I miss doing that with you."
"You're welcome."
"Good night Terri."
"Night."
