Chapter 3 - misato watches basketball practice
"Misato-chan!" Haruko called out to me after class.
"Haruko-chan!" I smiled at her.
"Are you going home already?" she asked me.
I nodded. "I don't have violin practice today."
"Do you want to come with me?" she invited. "I'm going to watch the basketball team practice."
"Well, since I have nothing else to do."
We started to walk towards the school gym; Haruko asked me how and why I started to play the violin.
"My mom wanted me to play the piano but I didn't like it because I couldn't very well bring it with me. So my mom enrolled me in singing classes."
"Sugoi!" Haruko-chan interrupted me.
"Not exactly," I replied, chuckling. "After a week, sensei begged me to quit because he said I was going to break his eardrums - and the windows of the building."
"One day," I continued, "I watched an orchestra concert on TV. I was amazed by the music that the violin was able to produce. I bugged my mom for about a week or so until she caved in and bought me a violin."
We entered the gym and we sat on one of the benches near the side of the court.
There were three girls screaming (cheering?) rukawa's name and I was a bit surprised to see this tall red-head haul them out of the gym.
A guy wearing eye-glasses was practicing his shooting at the left side of the court, while at the other side, Rukawa was practicing lay-ups.
"Where are the other players," I asked Haruko. When haruko didn't reply, I looked at her and saw her staring wide-eyed at Rukawa. (author: her eyes turned into hearts!!! ^_^')
I nudged her slightly and chided, "aaah. So that's why you wanted to watch practice. And here I thought you were just going to wait for your brother."
She came out of her trance-like state and blushed, her eyes still on Rukawa.
Rukawa did another perfect lay-up and haruko sighed.
Frankly, I didn't know what to say. I wasn't even sure if a comment was expected of me.
I felt a bit uncomfortable so I asked Haruko, "do you play basketball?"
"Yes!" she grinned at me. "I love it!"
"Are you any good?"
"Hmm. Just okay I guess. Akagi teaches me a lot. What about you?"
"I wish I could say the same," I laughed. "I suck at basketball more than I suck at singing. Once, at PE, we were required to shoot at lesat 15 times, and whenever I would shoot, people would duck. I even hit my sensei's head once. She excused me for the rest of the term from basketball."
Haruko was unable to stifle her laughter.
I wrinkled my nose. "that's why my friends don't come near me whenever we play sports. Once, when our PE was baseball, I accidenally threw the bat at my classmate's groin."
We laughed until our stomachs couldn't take any more.
**********************************************
the next day:
Haruko and I were having lunch when rukawa passed by.
Haruko's eyes followed his passing form.
"You really like him, huh?"
"Why, don't you?"
I shrugged. "I guess he's okay. He doesn't really say anything so I don't really know him, I guess."
Haruko sighed. "yeah, he really doesn't talk much. Sometimes, I just wish he would maybe greet me but I guess that's asking for the impossible."
An idea began to form in my head.

author: hahaha. so I decided not to discontinue after all. ^_^' had nothing else to do, actually. By the way, I kind of edited the first chapter so you might want to check it out again. Arigato!
Nyahahahahaha! (sakuragi-laugh)
