COME WITH ME
(KOKO NI KITE)
It was a brighter day, ah Monday. The last few days were terrible but now, it was okay. Everything was fine now. This is how their friendship is, come hell or high water.So what? They're friends right? Back to the daily routine. She on her blades and him on his bike, yes sleepy. She giggled as she saw him sleepy, his eyes were closed while biking. Amazing she thought. Who in the world would be able to bike while sleeping? Ya right, only him on this whole spheroid Earth.
"Kae-chan!" she shrieked.
There was a post on the turn. He never noticed, he was having a nice little dream of his. Oh, come one.Of course he would fall off his bike.
"Are you okay?" she asked worriedly. "*harr* Hm? Okay." he said as he yawned.
He was careless. But she liked him for that. But Rukawa Kaede is a different man when it comes to the court or when dealing with his friend. He also becomes another person when Sendoh or Fujima is around or any flirting guy around. Of course not to him! No hentai's aloud here you know! Now speaking of careless.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
"Itai!" he said in pain as he slipped. "Stupid." Mitsui said "Who you calling stupid?!" "Who else? YOU." "You brat!" "Hey, don't talk to me like that you silly Sophomore! You're the one eating bananas here not me!" "But you're the one who threw the peel so I slipped!" "But in the first place you were the one who brought that BANANA!" "So who's stupid?" "YOU, YOU, YOU!" "I'M GONNA GET YOU NOW!"
WHACK! WHACK!
"Ouch!" "Yeah, ouch!" "Who the.Ayako!?" "Would you stop arguing like children fighting over a piece of candy?" Ayako said "Ayako, isn't it too early for you to bring that fan with you?" Mitsui asked "Well, you're early too." "Hey Aya-san. No fair. Why did you hit me? Why didn't you hit Mitsui?" "Ryota, you should understand that Mitsui is our sempai and you were the culprit too." "Beh." Mitsui said as he stuck his tongue out to insult Ryota.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
"Hanamichi, do you have anything to do today?" "No Youhei, why?" "Oh nothing." "Perhaps a date with Haruko would be nice." "Ambitious." "WHAT?!" "Nothing! Nothing!!!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
So everything was back to normal. They were on their own businesses again. Everyone was indeed alive once again. Even at Ryonan or Tomoeda.
-Tomoeda- "Science. I can't stand this. Everything has something to do with him. Even the frog anatomy in biology." She thought
"The frogs leap high, that is one of their characteristics" The teacher said
"Ryota leaps high too, when he does a lay up or passes the ball or just scramming on exams."
"They have fast eyes that they can sense their surrounding for preys or for predators." The teacher continued
"Yes, true. Ryota has fast eyes when he looks for free teammates to score or for stealing guards around him."
Then the teacher was already in front of her.
"MS. NAKAYAMA WHAT ARE YOU DAYDREAMING ABOUT?"
"Uh.About my frog prince, sir???"
-Ryonan- "Math. Ah, numbers. I'm good in Math but I'm hungry. Hm. I can remember the lemon pie she made for me last Christmas. Oh, I miss that taste."
"The square root of 36 is." The teacher asked.
"There were six slices when she gave it to me. Oh, I ate three-forth of it.Almost all. I ate 5 and she only ate a slice."
"Sendoh, would you know the answer?" The teacher asked with brows raised.
"Huh? I was thinking about 6, sir." He woke from his thinking and uttered the number of slices in her homemade lemon pie and what a luck for him, the answer to the teacher's question is 6.
"Okay, you may take your seat. I thought you weren't paying attention."
"But I wasn't really paying attention" he thought as he smiled.
Then he saw the numbers on the board. 8, 23, 2.
8
"Oh, 8 is her jersey number on their team."
23
"But she was once 23 when we first met back in junior high."
2
"The cups of lemonade she always gave me. Oh. I can't stop my head from thinking about her."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
-Dismissal at Shohoku- The practice was to begin in an hour. Naze? Because the seniors and sophomores had extension classes. Only the freshmen were there. Hanamichi, Haruko and her friends together with Sakuragi's personal army was outside the gym. Hanamichi was doing some jump shots to bluff around while Haruko is watching. Rukawa was with Marina. Always. He was tying his shoelace and she was just there folding his towel. He would always practice ahead of them. He was on the court doing his routine and she was just watching. She clapped as he made points. (Duh!) Does it mean she would always clap for every move? Yes, he was the best for her. The best. Then he noticed she was just there. Joosetsu no shizukana. Just watching. Then he remembered a note seen on his house days ago. It was for the public to read. It was about the festival to be held that week. On the weekends to be exact. Three days. He knew she would truly love that festival. The Kimono Festival, together with the temples, candies, fans and most of all the fireworks display. That night would be really beautiful. Then he stopped on his practice. Went near the corner where she and his things were and sat there. She gave his towel and bottled water to him as she always did. His sweat dripping on the floor. He was so exhausted but maybe not only because of practicing. Maybe thinking could be tiring too, right?
"Friday would be a good day." He said "Huh?" she asked surprised. "Saturday and Sunday too." She smiled in confusion as he uttered those words. "What do you mean, itazura boye?" "How about the Kimono Festival?" he looked at her. "Huh?" "Why don't you come with me this weekend? It would be fun isn't it?" "I.I." "That is if no one has asked you yet." "I'd be glad to be there with you, alright?" "Okashi Satoo." "Dare?" "Shinai."
Then he came back to practice. Just in time when everyone came in too. All of them. 4 days to count and wait before the festival. 4 days.
-The End, honto?-
