"Another's IDENTITY"

Chapter 2

It's a very beautiful morning and Wakeru work up early, eager to go to school.

"Today's my first day of school," he thought while sitting comfortably in his brother's bed. "I should know what I am to do today". Then a thought stuck him, "What does Rukawa do in school? Except from sleeping in class and basketball? He thought for quite a long time, "Oh, never mind," he mumbled to himself while getting out of bed. "Onichan will not get mad if I made some mistakes, will he? He then slowly walked to the shower room.

"Oh you look so good," He said while smirking in front of the mirror. ~ ~ ~ o ~ ~ ~ When he was near the campus he saw a girl, a very beautiful girl (for him) standing in front of the gate.

"Who is that? He asked himself, "Maybe one of Rukawa's fans", "I'll ask her," then he walked slowly towards the girl, but before he arrived at the gate where the girl is standing, a bunch of girls assault him, overwhelmed by his smiling face as if this is their first time to see him smiling..well...actually..this is really their first time.

"Oh, no! This is not good. I didn't think that rukawa has so many fans here in shohoku high."

"Hey! Hey! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!!! STOP PLEASE!!! He shouted to them because they fiddle with his bones.

Then out of nowhere, someone pushed the girls away.

"Thanks for that." He said when the girls were out of sight. "Who are you?" he asked the guy with glasses.

The guy stared at him like he was thinking whether Wakeru was just making fun of him. Then he smiled, "Anzai sensei wants to see you after class, and after that he ran to his direction.

"Weird..." Wakeru said while scratching his head. " Who the heck is Mr. Anzai.umm.aha! Perhaps, its my big brother's teacher! Hehe..i should have known.but wait...where in the world will I meet him???"

A girl passed by and Wakeru grabbed her arm gently.." hey!"

The girl stared at him while blushing furiously. " umm..hello?" he said.

The girl swallowed hardly and replied, " umm.yes?" using her small voice.

"Hey, this is the girl in front of the gate that I want to approach a while ago." He thought

Wakeru smiled and said, " say, you're so cute! What's your name?"

" EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!" the girl screamed while her face was red all over.

Wakeru raised his eyebrow, "Pardon?"

The girl inhaled deeply and said, "nothing."

"Anyway where can I find..."

"My home?"

"Uh.yeah. But apart from that, where can I find Mr. Anzai?"

"Who?" The girl asked

"Mr. Anzai" he repeated.

"Coach Anzai, you mean?"

"So Mr. Anzai is rukawa's coach in basketball huh.." he thought then said "Uh, yes,. where can I find him?"

"In the gym, of course." "Where else could you find him."

"Oh, yeah..." then flashes her a big smile which made her blush again

"What's your name?" Wakeru asked after a long silence

"Huh? my name? I ..I..thought..you .know ...my..na.name.the girl looked upset by the question.

"Uh, I know your name..I'm asking for your nickname. Wakeru made an alibi with a nervous grin

"Oh," the girl smiled and replied "I have no nickname..but you can still call me by my first name, Haruko.

"Haruko-san" what a very beautiful name" he thought

Ringgg..ring...ring...

"Oh! That's the bell!" haruko said while starting to run

"Wait!, where can I find the classroom for section 10?" he asked hurriedly

"There, In the third floor of that building (points to a building). Then after that she started to run

"See you later.!" He shouted to Haruko

Then Haruko waved while blushing. "He seems so weird today .. but.. Nevertheless.... (smiles) he said I'm cute" she thought while running.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ o ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ In Class..

"Oh it's a good thing Mr. Rukawa that you are very alive today in my class." His teacher told him...Wakeru smiled and raised his hand again to recite.

"That's his 20th recitation for this class," someone whispered. "What about the class after this?" Don't tell me he'll answer all of them." It's not like the old rukawa, maybe he ate something bad that made him alive today but wait until tomorrow.. he will be the same old sleepy-headed guy again." someone said "Hey guys, aren't you happy that rukawa is not that sleepy- headed anymore?.. yet, he's cute" a girl said while blushing

"Ssh...sssshhhhhhhh.. quiet class, listen to Mr. Rukawa.. he's rarely speak in class so you should remember this significant moment..."

"Oh this is a miracle" ^_^ the teacher said dreamily. "At last, I have someone who will listen to me now." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ o ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

After Class..(in the corridor)

Eeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkk....eeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk.... Someone screamed in the corridor. "What's the matter miss?" someone asked the girl who screamed..." ru. ru. ka.wa..she stammered and looked like she was floating in heaven. Then after a moment of silence, the girl talked out loud "Rukawa talked to me and helped me...eek..eekk." the girl started screaming again. "What really happened miss?" someone insisted. "It's like this.." the girl said.."When I was walking right here in this corridor, carrying some stack of books that was supposed to be brought back to the library, I lost balance and the books fell to the floor, and it just happened that rukawa was passing right in front of me. When he saw me, he eagerly helped me get the books that was scattered on the floor. When all the books was gathered, he asked if he could help me bring it back .. But .. But.. (blushing) I can't respond because I was so overwhelmed by his by his gentleman attitude. So, without words, he, carrying all the books, accompanied me to the library and after that he brought me back here, but before he go...he..he..he.. asked for my name. It was just a while ago when I realized what happened and I started screaming" the girl said to the crowd. And when she realized that the crowd was staring at her, she blushed from head to toe realizing that she was sharing her story to the whole school. And when she couldn't take the embarrassment she searched for anything to help her escape the crowd. "Oh I .. I .. Just remembered that I still have something to do for the next subject" See Ya! Then the girl walked backward with her face in the crowd. When the girl was gone, the crowd dispersed slowly. Not very long when the incident happened that everybody was talking about it.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ o ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Oh no I'm lost!" wakeru said while scanning the crowd for help. "I wish I asked for a guide" he mumbled to himself then walked towards the gardener. "ummm..excuse me sir, can I ask where the gym is?" After he got instructions, he thanked the man and ran to his direction "I'm very, very, super, dooper, LATE!" he said to himself. Then a voice spoke in his mind "That's what you get when taking another's identity"

~ ~ ~ o ~ ~ ~

"Okay guys! Line up! Atendance.." Ayako, the shohoku's team manager shouted. When the team settled down, she started calling the names of the member. "Hisashi Mitsui",

"present" mitsui said,

"Hanamichi Sakuragi",

"present" sakuragi shouted while staring at haruko with heart shaped eyes, but haruko wasn't paying any attention to him becoz she's trying to find rukawa among the players, "where is he?" she asked her friends.

Then Ayako called rukawa's name "Kaede Rukawa" long silence "Rukawa" she called again another moment of silence then ayako scanned the players "where is he? He's not like this. He's always punctual when it comes to basketball" she thought "Maybe there's something wrong..." then suddenly the door swung violently.

"Gomenasai, I'm late" wakeru said apologetically, having a hard time breathing. But before ayako can say a word "Nya ha ha ha ha" a guy laughed rowdily "look at him" he pointed to wakeru "look at his face" "Nya ha ha ha" they looked at wakeru and suddenly all of them broke out laughing because of wakeru's face full of mud. (after he asked the gardener, a black cat chased him ferociously up to the gym, but before he got to the gym, he lost balance and fell to the mud then he went inside) Ayako took out her fan and started.."WHIP" "WHAM"! "BOOM"! and shouted "MIND YOUR OWN BUSSINESS" then to rukawa "Go change your uniform now. We have to start" "ummm.where's the locker?" wakeru asked her, then ayako said, "When you fell to the mud, did your memory went black or got out of your head?" then smiled and said "straight ahead, then left, turn right, walk straight and the door 3rd from the left". Wakeru stared at her, stunned. Then when he got there, he sighed heavily and said to himself "now what am I going to do?" "I don't know anything about basketball" "I don't even know how to dribble a ball"...

Meanwhile: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Can you see him?" one from rukawa's fan asked the other girl in the window (coz they're peeping from the locker room) "Yes! Yes! He's taking off his clothes now" "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkk" the girl giggled, " he's so muscular" "oooooooohhhhh" "eeekkkk" "he's taking off his pants!!!!" then suddenly a ball came flying towards them "OUCH!!" "Who did that?" ..
