Chapter 7: Sendoh
Sendoh escorted her to his class, after another bout of yelling from Aya. She has just found out that her timetable was the same as his, since he was her peer guide. She wondered right now what Rukawa was doing. Probably having a much better time than she was.
"Wait here for awhile, alright?" Sendoh said before ducking into the classroom. Aya stood looking at the door, shrugged, and leaned against the wall. Sudden shouting and a loud whack was heard before Sendoh opened the door, a sheepish grin on his face. Aya gave him a strange look before walking in.
The math teacher was a short and old man, and Aya easily towered over him. Sendoh had gone to his seat, one that was somewhere at the back. Looking around, he saw that a majority of the class was interested in the new student. After announcing her name, a few of them started asking questions. He noticed the personal ones were evaded smoothly, so aside from knowing what he already knew, and her being single and having interests in tennis and basketball, he learnt almost nothing else.
How mysterious...
Aya sat down in her seat with almost relief. She hated these kind of things; they always take a part of her privacy away. And she liked privacy. Now it looks like she can't be alone anymore anywhere she goes. But still, she could try...
Sendoh hurriedly jotted down what the teacher has written on the board and flipped to the page in the textbook. Unconsciously he looked at Aratayashi, sitting somewhere in front despite her height. She her head was in one hand and she seemed tired. Sendoh blinked. Did she just close her eyes? Aratayashi is sleeping in her first class on her first day! And in the front too...
"Stop following me!"
"But if I don't show you the way around the school, you'll get lost!" He protested. This girl is so frustrating, not wanting his help when he extended it. The first thought that came to his mind was that she was proud, but after a few examples that proved wrong. So the other word that popped out was introverted.
"I don't care! Leave me alone!" Aya yelled. She stopped where she was and stomped her foot. "Why can't you leave me alone? Don't you understand, I want to be by myself!"
Sendoh sighed.
"Why don't I bring you to the roof. Nobody goes there anyways."
Aya leaned out the railing, enjoying the stiff breeze that came up. Sendoh stood behind, leaning against the wall next to the door with arms crossed. He stayed quiet, not intending to disturb her. He was satisfied just watching.
Aya closed her eyes. The wind sounded so much like the ocean to her, like waves crashing against the shore. A flashback came unbidden into her mind.
//"Why?" He looked pained. "Please don't, Aya. Don't make it worse." "You wanted to break up with me in the first place. I think it should be fair for me to know why at least." She said stubbornly, but there was a quiver in her voice that both of them did not missed. "My angel. If only you knew." He kissed her, a soft, quick kiss on the lips that left her no time to react. "I will come back for you," he vowed. "As long as this sea is still here and the stars still shine in the sky, I will come back and find you."//
She came back to reality, tears threatening to fall from her eyes. Fiercely rubbing them, Aya told herself that the past was over and she was okay, she will not cry. But she couldn't help but let out a small sob. Quickly she turned to Sendoh, ready to deny her crying.
He was asleep, sitting against the wall with one leg up. A smile tugged at her lips. He looked so cute asleep, so...young and vulnerable. So much like...
She frowned. She never noticed it, but he looked like him. Same hedgehog hair, but shorter. Same sleeping look, same eyes, same mouth...they practically could be twins, except for the hair. Plus Sendoh was taller. Both of them had that blur look sometimes, and their smiles are alike. Aya strode over and with trembling fingers traced his face. Same face line.
He suddenly grabbed her hand. She stiffened, but relaxed when he murmured something and dropped the arm to his side. Aya was amused and tried to yank it back. Sendoh was holding it too tight. She wasn't smiling anymore. Once again she tried to pull her hand away, but to no avail.
"Don't leave me! Ai...aishitemo!"
She looked, amazed, at the young man sleeping. He, too, lost someone he loved.
"Don't worry, Sendoh. I'll be here for you." She stroked his face, tears falling unrestrained. "I promise."
She sat at the benchers, watching the footballers play. Suddenly her handphone rang.
"Yes?"
"Aya? I'm coming after practice at college, so I'll be late. Wait," Aya heard sounds of a quick conversation in the background then Akagi came back. "Never mind, Mitsui says he can pick you up. That is, if you don't mind playing basketball at Shohoku again."
"Of course not! Anything, just as long as I get out of here." Aya mentally added, and away from Sendoh, before I lose my mind.
Mitsui strolled up to Ryonan High, whistling a happy tune. Some time with Aya, he thought. Alone. Wonder if she has a boyfriend yet.
"Mitsui!" Aya waved to him. He waved back, noting that Sendoh was nearby, looking confused as to why he, Mitsui Hisashi, formerly from Shohoku High, was doing walking into his school. He turned to Aya and Mitsui saw his mouth open as he asked her, while she answered something back quickly. Then she grabbed her bag and went to Mitsui. Sendoh looked a little hurt before shrugging and turning away.

Plus my tuition teacher just told me that after birth the mother has to rest for several months before....being able doing the 'process' or else...*bends the forefinger several times*
You know what that means!??! I MIGHT HAVE TO REWRITE THIS THING!! OR ELSE CHANGE MY PLANS ON IT!!!!!!!!
New ideas = more planning = more time
AAAAHH!!!!! I'M GOING NUTS!!!!
Rukawa: do'aho.
Kka: Shut up, Mr. Sunshine.
Rukawa: ....
Aya: ...why did you have to tell your tuition teacher about this anyway?
Kka: ...because she caught me on the computer...*glares back at Aya and Rukawa, who were staring at her* what?!?!
Mitsui: It isn't normal to tell a teacher about something like this...
Kka: if you want to say that I'm not normal then say it.
Mitsui, Aya: You're not normal.
Kka: Why thank you! *bows*
Everyone: *sweatdrop* ...
