Chapter 3
Clueless
March 31, still Sunday morning…
-=MITSUI=-
Rise and shine!
"Lovely morning…"
Perfect day for practice… Better call Sakuragi.
-=SENDOH=-
Good thing she finally got down. I'm planning to take her to the basketball court. I hope she still knows how to play basketball…
-=ALAINA=-
I heard Akira is a basketball rookie now. Not a surprise… He's got the potential even when we're young…
Basketball, our favorite sport… I miss that.
Hmm, haven't played much lately. Hope he show me some of his moves…
-=MITSUI=-
"Nyahahaha! Ready in 5 minutes! Better prepare yourself, Mitchy. For I, Sakuragi the tensai, is going to let you kiss my ass goodbye. Nyahahaha!"
Fool. Who wants to kiss his stinky ass?
"Yare, yare. See you at the basketball court." I hanged up.
That Sakuragi sure is an egomaniac. No doubt about that.
Better go to the basketball court now.
-=RUKAWA=-
As I was practicing peacefully alone, I sensed two idiots coming near me. I thought it was those 'stupid gay girls' again so I purposely threw them the ball without even looking…
-=SENDOH=-
Is that a ball? So I jerked my head to the right.
Ooh… Fast reflexes.
And is that Rukawa?
*Whack!*
"Oops…"
-=ALAINA=-
"Aw."
I was distracted by the cute chowchow walking past to my right that I didn't notice that deranged flying object.
Whoever that cross-eyed is, I'm going to kill him…
-=SENDOH=-
She looked at him irritatingly. There's a reaction, big improvement. I thought she would never change. Oh, reminds me of Rukawa. But obviously, Alaina's more normal.
Sorry sis, the ball nearly spoiled my hair so I have nothing to do but to avoid it. Hehe…
-=RUKAWA=-
do'ahou.
Fools to disturb my practice. That Sendoh, and that ball lover… that… klutz girl?
They're together now??
I didn't notice any sooner, but I'm involuntarily clenching my fist.
-=ALAINA=-
Him again??
Is the world ever fair??
-=MITSUI=-
I thought I saw a ball flying?
Weird…
I wonder where Sakuragi is…
-=SAKURAGI=-
"Ohayo Sakuragi-kun!"
Ha… Haruko… *blush, blush*
-=SENDOH=-
Did I just see Rukawa looking at us, eyebrow raised while clenching his fist?
Big surprise…
Hmm… Something's fishy… time to be a little naughty… hehe
-=ALAINA=-
"Callie-chan, daijoubu?" while stroking my hair.
Huh?
Akira hugged me tightly as if I met a serious accident. Callie-chan? What's his problem? That was about a minute ago.And since when did he get my late reaction virus? Is that airborne??
-=MITSUI=-
Sakuragi sure is taking too much time. Damn him, I thought he would come before me.
And who's that girl Sendoh is hugging? Stunning… Too bad she's already taken.
And oh… Rukawa's here too. Why's he glaring? Weird.
I walked towards the couple.
She's really cute. A gaijin? Crossing Sendoh wouldn't be a bad idea… hehe
-=ALAINA=-
Oh. My. God.
Who's that guy? Blue hair, Cool demeanor… Cute.
I wonder who he is.
Oh my! Did he see my graceful stunt a while ago?? Hope not! Or that pale guy's gonna know who not to mess with.
He's heading this direction… Holy shit! Akira is still hugging me!
"Hey…"
Akira pulled away.
Good.
"Mitsui." Akira greeted back with a smile, a little surprised.
Hmm… Mitsui, huh? Wait, they knew each other??
"Oh, by the way, this is Alaina, my childhood best friend. She just arrived. Alaina, meet Mitsui Hisashi. He's a basketball player too. An opponent, I should add."
Basketball player, huh? Nice built. I reached my hand and shook it with his. Get a grip! Don't faint! Say something…
"Hi, nice to meet you." I smiled.
Score one, Alaina.
-=MITSUI=-
Alaina. Nice name.
And she's not Sendoh's girl? Haha… Easier. Atleast I stand a chance.
Hmm… Soft hands, delicate ones.
She smiled. Infectious smile…
I wonder if she's staying…
-=RUKAWA=-
That jerk, Sendoh! Doesn't he get jealous on how Mitsui shook his girlfriend's hand?
Do'aho.
Mitsui is practically showing his flirty smile. Makes me sick…
but why?
Why? I… I don't know…
-=SENDOH=-
Looks like I found my best friend a nice guy.
It wouldn't hurt if I leave them alone while having a one-on-one with Rukawa. Alaina would be so thankful for that, I know that smile; and so as to see iceblock's next priceless reaction. Seems like there's something going on in that head of his.
"You okay with each other? I like to have a one-on-one with the fox." I winked at Alaina.
She raised an eyebrow.
Gotcha! Don't worry; I'm not that obvious. You're secret's safe with me… hehe…
"No problem." That's Mitsui, another being whose wish I have granted today.
Good job, Akira.
"Hey, Rukawa! Wanna play?"
-=ALAINA=-
That Akira! I didn't raise an eyebrow because of Mitsui…
I did because I didn't know he knows that cross-eyed pale guy who successfully hit my head twice and knocked me down once! He should have atleast told me!
And what's his name? Rukawa? Who does he think he is to glare at us a while ago? That should be MY reaction, right?
-=MITSUI=-
Thanks Sendoh! I owe you one.
-=RUKAWA=-
One-on-one, huh? I'll show him.
I threw him the ball. He threw it back. I made a shot.
*Whoosh*
Went in. Good.
He better have a good defense.
-=SENDOH=-
The ball's his. He better have something new to show me today.
He's really pissed off. Funny, I've seen it. Could it be? Can he possibly like Alaina?
-=ALAINA=-
"Yeah. People always thought I'm from the West, but no, my dad is Italian but he practically grew in the Philippines. My mom is a pure Filipino, and I have no siblings."
"Cool. So that explains your blue e-"
*Ring!*
Is that mine?
"Your phone?"
"I think. Now, where did I place it?" I searched my pocket.
He looked behind him.
"I think it's with Sendoh's things."
"Oh. Yeah, right. How can I easily forget?"
I got it. So my mom finally called! Big surprise.
"Who's that?"
"Mom." I signaled him to wait for a moment, and so he did.
-=MITSUI=-
She's talking to her mom. I was thinking what to do next when she raised my hand and signaled me to wait.
"Hello? … What?? No way… You've gotta be kidding…"
I couldn't quite get what they're talking about. Eavesdropper.
Well, that's because all I hear is literally pure contradiction.
"I told you I don't want to! … Fine, pero sundan niyo ako dito! (but follow me here!)
Huh? Nani?
She sighed. "Well, What can I do? Okay. Bye."
She hunged up.
I wonder what made her upset…
-=ALAINA=-
"Hey, sorry but I need to go home now." I'm quite pissed.
"You okay?"
You have no idea. "Yeah, tell Akira I went home, please?"
He nodded.
"Arigato." I smiled weakly.
-=RUKAWA=-
Nice job, Mitsui… she walked away irritated. And why didn't Sendoh do what he has to do when she walked away?
Jerk.
Unworthy guy.
-=SENDOH=-
Looks like Alaina already know…
But it's for her future. Tita Marina made the right decision. I just hope she accepts it soon enough.
