CHAPTER III
What's so great about 'him'?
Aki had just gotten up from bed. She was running behind her schedule. She rushed to the bathroom, took and bath then got dressed real quickly. As soon as she got in her shoes, she skipped breakfast and hurried to get to school. Just when she was running through the school entrance, she bumped into a sleep-walking tall guy. When she said tall, she meant tall. The raven haired fox woke up and noticed Aki.
"What are you looking at?" Aki told him but the do ahou said nothing but just stared at her. "Rukawa, you're same as ever! I'm wasting my time," she added before she went passed him and into the school building. Aki went to class, slowly opening the door, hoping not to catch the teacher's attention. But of course, the teacher saw her. "What? It's not like I'm the only person who's late in class. Check out that fox way behind me," Aki managed to say despite all the giggles from her classmates. She and Rukawa happened to be in the same class.
The teacher looked pissed but Aki showed no sign that she cared at all. Aki just rolled her eyes then she got seated with a big smile on her face. Like it often happened, Rukawa didn't go to class. Everyone knew where he was... the roof. All hail the roof! Ugh! Anyway, Aki just stared outside, not bothering to listen to the teacher in front of the class. She was already to used to being reprimanded and she figured the teacher would've been tired of that already.
After class, Aki headed straight to the locker room to get changed for the track race. She got changed in a hurry, knowing she was late. When she got there, the other "racers" were already there. They looked at her with a you're-late-again look. Aki presented them an embarassed smile as she took position by the starting line. She bent over and put her hands on the ground, eagerly waiting for the signal to start while receiving constant snickers from the other racers. With a blow of a whistle, Aki ran and dashed ahead of the others. She turned her head to see the others be left behind.
In no time, Aki passed the finish line first, way before the others, who just glared at her when they finally finished the track. Aki grinned at them and turned back. She knew those jerks had no chance of beating her from the start. Baka.
"That was just a lucky shot at winning," Rei, one of her fellow sprinters, told her.
Aki rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry. I thought this was just my.. um... tenth lucky time I won this year!" she replied with one-sided sarcasm. "Put a sock in it, Rei. I won and you lost. It's a fact you have to face."
"Whatever. I'm going home," Rei walked away, annoyingly.
"Don't get lost!" Aki jeered when she saw Haruko coming up to her.
"I saw you win that race. Congratulations!" Haruko sounded thrilled. Weird...
"That was nothing," Aki scoffed. "Hey, let's get going. We still have some work to do, you know."
"Before that, can we stop by some place first?" Haruko asked and Aki agreed. "Let's go to the basketball team practice. I... I have to tell my brother that I'll be going to your house."
Aki raised an eyebrow at Haruko, who happened to SUCK at lying. "Right. Or maybe we're going there so Haruko could stare at Rukawa, eh?" she said.
Haruko raised her hands in front of her in defense. "Yada! I told you I have to tell my brother..." she tried to explain.
"Yeah, sure. Let's go," Aki cut her off and started to walk ahead.
The two made their way to the gym, where the baskteball team was practicing. Isn't that obvious enough? The doors were open wide and Haruko led Aki inside [is that right?]. Just as Haruko was approaching Akagi, who was standing at the side watching the team practice, she stopped and her sight was off somewhere else. Correction! Someone else.
"Rukawa-kun," Haruko uttered as she trailed off to daydream land once again.
Aki couldn't believe this girl. How can she be so obsessed with a raven haired, pale skin, way tall, ice cold freak [ehem!] guy who was good at playing basketball? She approached Haruko who's eyes literally turned into hearts and waved a hand in front of her. "Um... Earth to Haruko? I thought you said you were going to 'talk' to your brother and not 'stare' at the kitsune," Aki reminded her.
Haruko snapped out of it and looked at Aki in embarrassment with a pink hue tinted on her cheeks. "Alright already. Just give me a minute here," Haruko said, going back to her 'staring' business.
Aki groaned in disbelief as she waited... and waited... until... the ball almost hit her on the face. "Hey! Watch it! There are people here who don't want to get involved!" she complained and saw Rukawa coming their way. She spotted the ball at her side and took it, passing it firmly to Rukawa, back in the court.
"Daijobu?" Haruko asked her in concern.
"Oohh! Finally you noticed I'M here!" Aki replied, apparently pissed off.
"Gomenasai! I was just... nevermind. Wait here," Haruko said before she headed to her brother.
"Um... that was practically what I've been doing for the last... let's see... fifteen minutes! [ok, so maybe i was exaggerating a BIT. but it was a long time, mind you]" came Aki's response from behind. Haruko came back in a short while and told Aki they could go already. "At last! Brain cells are starting to work again!" Aki rejoiced sarcastically.
"Okay, but can't we stay for a little while longer?" Haruko started the whole obsession scene again.
Aki quickly shook her head to refuse. No way was she going to let Haruko stay any longer. She knew Haruko would be driven back to space if they stayed. She officially declared [i dunno how she did that officially though] Haruko part of the ROC [otherwise known as the Rukawa Obsession Club. Shohoku should have one]. Still, Aki couldn't figure out what was so great about the ice-king. He's just so... edgy and... sleepy. It's so strange for girls all around the school to find him nice.
Haruko and Aki made their way to her house as soon as they picked up their school stuff and as soon as Aki got dressed. It didn't take long before they arrived there. Aki greeted her parents and her younger brother, who was actually one pretty big pest despite his size. Aki showed the way to her room and Haruko followed without question. When they got there, they immediately got started on Aki's project.
