My story is a little serious compared with the ones I've read, so pls review and tell me what's wrong with it.
Chapter One - A mysterious girl migrates back I walked through the gates of Shohoku High leisurely. I was practically an hour late for my first day in school as a freshman. I headed towards my class, Year one class ten and stepped in totally ignoring my teacher who was staring furiously. There were two empty spaces at the back of the class. I chose one, sat down, throwing my gaze out of the window immediately. I never paid any attention in class. I didn't think I should start now.
Suddenly the door slid open and a very tall guy with raven black hair stepped in. he headed towards the only empty seat left, which was beside mine. Like me, he ignored the teacher who was fuming at our impudence, and fell asleep at once. I knew this guy. Rukawa Kaede of Tomigaoko Junior High!
In the Shohoku Basketball Court. 'There are lots of freshmen that wants to enter this year,' Kongure the said looking around.
'I doubt they will still be all that interested when they find out that we have a gorilla as a captain,' Miyagi, the shortest and fastest player of Shohoku High said, making Kongure shake his head. Miyagi, not bad looking with curly hair had a crush on the only girl who joined the basketball team as a manager which was Ayako, who unfortunately didn't care for Miyagi even a bit.
'Ah. isn't that Rukawa Kaede from Tomigaoko Junior High? So he is here too,' Mitsui, the only three-pointer shooting guard in the team, said, joining into their conversation. He was a third-year, with slightly blue hair (or so it seems in the animation). Suddenly the door opened and a girl with short black hair appeared. She was about Miyagi's height and pretty in a boyish way. Cute may be a word that can describe her a little better. Her tanned complexion went well with her dark brown eyes, creating a kind of beauty that was pretty rare in girls. Her black was cut in a boyish hairstyle, short, with long fringes. She looked like a kind of girl who is very quiet and cold. She walked straight up to Akagi and said in a very soft voice, yet a voice which seemed to lull people to hearing what she said. There was almost total silence in the gym. Even the noisy beginner who called himself tensai Sakuragi subdued himself. Everyone stared at the girl who ignored every staring eye. Even Rukawa stared hard at her.
'Captain, can I join this club?'
'Do you want to join as a manager, or do you want to play?' Akagi, the captain of the basketball club asked (people calls him gorilla or Gori. Trust me, he really looks like one). Never in his life has he ever been asked by a girl to be allowed to play basketball in a guys' team.
'Play,' the girl answered shortly.
'I'll ask Anzai sensei,' Akagi said, 'but I doubt they will allow you to play even though there isn't girls' basketball team in high school. Never in my life have I seen a girl play in a guys' team in high school.'
'Come back tomorrow and we will give you the answer,' Kongure, sub-captain said to the girl, fully aware that everyone was staring at the girl. The girl turned and walked out of the door without even stating her name.
'Could it be her?' Rukawa questioned in his heart. 'She definitely looks like her, not to mention the attitude. But. she shouldn't be here,' he thought. His thoughts about the mysterious girl were cut off as Akagi sanpai asked them to introduce themselves.
* * * * * * * *
I walked outta the court, with everybody still staring at me. Why couldn't a girl play basketball? This is what we call DISCRIMINATION!!! my heart yelled. I was already in a t-shirt and three-quarter pants. I cycled off to the public basketball court, all the events in the gym replaying themselves in my mind. There I played, releasing my tension and anger.
'Yo Aya!' I knew his voice straight away. Tall with spiky black hair, he was the coolest basketball player throughout the Kanagawa prefecture. One of the best too. (Yet we don't see fanatic girl fans surrounding him like the ones we see surrounding Rukawa.) Second-year in Ryonan high, he was my best friend before I shifted and probably the only one.
'Sendo,' I said. He hugged me and I pushed him away.
'You're sweaty,' I said pretending to be disgusted. He smiled, giving me the look as if saying aren't you? He was the only one who could irritate me and yet make me smile, the only one who could understand me.
'Did they approve?' He asked.
'Waiting for Anzai sensei's approval, but I doubt I'll get it.'
'You might if I tagged along and talked on your behalf. I mean you were the only one who played in the junior high guys' basketball team. I know junior high and high school isn't the same,' he continued on hurriedly when he saw me opening my mouth to protest, 'but there was already a junior high girls' basketball team there and yet you played in the guys' team because they were to soft right? You kept fouling out, but everybody could see your talent!' Sendo replied, his smile fading (which seldom happens), but his eyes alight all the same. Out of the corner of his blue eyes, he caught sight of a shape, shadow of a tall guy.
'I guess,' was all I said. But then, I knew that my playing in the guys' team was like a long time ago. Besides, I only played for a year, and migrated away.
Sendo picked up the basketball, bounced it a few times and ran, ready to do a dunk. I turned, slapped the ball out of his hands and said, 'You can't dribble past me so easily anymore.' Then looking at my watch, I realized that it was late, far too late for me to be to still be out off my house if I wanted to escape from my father's hands and mind. 'See ya, Sendo,' I said, getting my bike and cycling off. Daylight was fading, it won't be very long before night dawns down and all my nightmares won't just remain dreams, but they will realize themselves. to me.
* * * * * * * *
As soon as she disappeared from sight, Sendo looked up and said 'Rukawa, you can come out.'
'How'd you know I'm here?' Sendo just smiled and shrugged.
'So, how do you feel? Aya has migrated back. Your rival,' Sendo said, stressing a little on the word rival.
'What is there to feel?' Rukawa said.
'Go for it, I think she does have feelings for you,' Sendo said, but in his heart he didn't think, he knew that Aya does have feelings for Rukawa, but it was so buried by her sufferings that she herself didn't know it was there.
'D'uo ho! I have no feelings for her. Please!' Rukawa replied angrily, yet there was a quiver in his voice that only Sendo could hear. Rukawa too wasn't really aware of his feelings for Aya.
'You two are so cold to other people, on the outside but I think you people are not always like that. You are even cold to each other, I know you are born like that but even then there must be someone you aren't really cold to. Aya is definitely different towards me. You know it. You are a little different towards me too. And I bet there is a kind of feeling that you don't really understand when you two meet each other. You are just afraid of the uncertainness in your life, until you don't even realize what you feel. If what I say isn't true, then what are you doing here?' Sendo asked. Rukawa walked away, leaving Sendo's question hanging there unanswered, trailing into the dusk. Leaving it there for the night to drop down, to give an answer. He cycled home, thought swirling away in his head, jumbled up.
'Hei! Aya just doesn't realize her feelings for you! It is buried by her sufferings.' Sendo shouted at him, hoping he could hear it. And he did, but then what Sendo said barely made any sense to him.
Sendo smiled. Two cold people who don't understand themselves. (Sigh). He walked on towards Anzai sensei's house. He managed not only to get the approval from Anzai sensei, but also from the inter-high sports section- head, which meant that Aya could play in games too. At about ten o'clock at night, he headed home, content with what he had done.
Does Rukawa like Aya? What is going to happen in Aya's house? Please, review, review!! If you don't like or like it, (which I doubt is possible) pls review me. I need all you review. Thank you. Um. is the chapter too short, b'coz some of my friends said so.
