Chapter II

~*~

FAYE'S POV

Ok, so the dork, Sanada, told me to teach the airhead…without extra credit. Isn't he the cheater? Oh, well. That's how it is. Just great. Here I am now, walking with Sakura to our volleyball practice. Before we reached our destination, we always pass the vast soccer field and the enormous basketball gym. There was the basketball gym: all its star players and benchwarmers training for the next game, which will be held the day after tomorrow.

"We could drop by and watch for a while. We still have a few minutes before our keeping fit begins." Sakura smiled at me as I fixed my visor.

"All right. Besides, I have a few things to say to Rukawa." I crossed my arms and nodded.

"If you could push through his-" We entered the gym.

"AAAAHHH!!!! Ru-ka-wa! Ru-ka-wa! Yay, yay, Rukawa!!!" I gulped. I forgot about his die-hard-

"Cheerleaders." Sakura ended her sentence. Yes, they were Rukawa's ever-faithful fans, Ru, Ka and Wa, who purposely stole or was it borrowed? his name.

On our way to the benches, we came across Mr. Anzai and Ayako who greeted us in a lively tone. "Hello! You're from the volleyball team, I see!"

We wordlessly nodded.

"Take a seat, will you?"  Mr. Anzai offered but we politely rejected. "No, thanks. We'll be attending our practice soon."

"AAAAHHH!!!! RUKAWA!!!" Rukawa's cheerleaders shrieked after he successfully tossed the ball into the ring. When their team captain, Akagi, called for a time-out, he walked towards me. "What are you doing here?"

"Nice! Is that your way of welcoming people? It isn't a sin to just watch for a few minutes. And I was just going to remind you about your tutoring session later. I'll be waiting for you at home, ok? Here's my address." I gave him a piece of paper as he wiped the trickling sweat from his brow.

He hung his towel around his neck "I won't go."

I leaned to murmur a few things in his ear "You will, because if you won't, I will definitely tell everyone all about your deepest and darkest secret."

"You know my secret?" He asked in a tone of a statement. "Get real. You've got nothing on me."

"Oh, but I do and my mouth is ready to gossip every single detail of that personal yet juicy secret of yours" I threatened hoping that it'll catch the guy.

"…Fine. I'll be there."

"Great! See you then!" We walked away, heading to our volleyball gym, believing that a mere girl like me can frame a well-admired boy like him.

RUKAWA'S POV

She knows my secret. How could she? I didn't even realize that I was hiding one until then!

"I didn't know you were into tutoring, Rukawa." Ayako put her hands on her waist as I ignored her.

"AAAAHHH!!!! Rukawa is SO handsome when he walks!!!" My fans cheered, the ones who didn't ask permission to advertise my name. I was walking. So, what? What's the big deal? They make everything I do important.

"Oi! Kitsune!"

I turned my head and got hit in the nose by a ball that happens to have the color of bright tangerine. The ball bounced as I calmly called the red haired monkey "Do'aho…"

"What did you call me?!" He demanded.

I shrugged and adjusted my armband as I usually do to ignore the 'high and mighty' idiot.

"You can't call me that! I am a tensai! Oi! Face me when I'm talking to you, Iceman!!! Ah! Gori! You're strangling me!!!" Akagi locked his enormous biceps with Sakuragi's neck just to shut him up.

"Urusai na, Sakuragi!"

I held the ball in my hands and dribbled it a few times. With a readied stance and a determined self, I threw a three-pointer…it missed. At that simple mistake of mine, all eyes turned to me, prying to know what my problem was. I couldn't answer. Even I can't seem to give an answer if I were to ask the same question to myself. Why? I was getting along fine before that lesbian Faye and her friend, what's-her-name, came.

I stood there, looking at the hoop when Mitsui approached me and placed a hand on my shoulder "Rukawa! It's a miracle! You finally had a tang of losing the ball to the hoop!"

"I did not…" I looked away and headed towards the bench for a drink from my water bottle.

You really aren't that thirsty, you know.

I am.

You aren't.

About a while ago, you made me lose that shot!

Me? Oh, what in the world are you speaking of, my precious character? 'Snicker!'

I didn't make that shot because of you!

As they say, no one can change the past but everyone can change the future. You lost that simple shot.

You really are an evil lady…

Take that back, you sly fox!

Now you're beginning to sound a lot like that red-haired monkey…

Is that an insult?! How dare you speak that way to me!

What are you going to do now that I did? Kill me?

  What a great idea, Rukawa! Now I know how to end my fanfic! He, he, he…

You won't do that to me.

Oh, yeah? I can and I will. I began this story and you'll die in the end! Nyahahahaha!!!

Fine then, I'm sorry.

What? I can't hear you!

I said I'm sorry.

That won't change my mind.

Please?

If you're going to mock me again, I swear I will really do it.

Sure.

I'm going to end this chapter now, ok?

Do your stuff. Hmph.

See y'all next chap!
