Better Impression?
The next day, when the sun have not even rose, Hoshiko woke Yukiko up, 30 minutes earlier than usual, so that there would be a lesser chance of meeting Fujima, the person she loathed most now.
She dragged a sleepy Yukiko out of the house and took a rather empty bus to school. During the journey, she wanted to tell Yukiko about how much she hated Fujima and blah blah blah but was greeted with a sleeping pig. She could only shrugged her shoulders and sigh. When the bus reached the stop where Fujima boarded the bus the day before, she was praying fervently that she would not bump into him in the early morning. It was as if someone answered her call, no guy in green boarded the bus at that stop. However, when they were reaching the school, she suddenly dreaded at the fact that she would be facing 'him' for the rest of the day. She gave a heavier sigh.- ___-'''

Hoshiko and Yukiko were walking past the basketball court, towards their class when they heard loud thumping sounds of the basketball. Hoshiko, who was interested in the sport, went over, curious to see who would be practising so hard in the early dawn and how was his/ her standard. To her upmost horror, it was the guy she was most disgusted with. Yukiko then came peering over Hoshiko's head. Hoshiko immediately questioned her:" He's in basketball!? What an great insult to Basketball!"
" What!? You mean you don't know? I thought I told you the other day? You even said that you would like to make friends with him!" Yukiko, replied, feeling surprised.
" Well, you mean that guy who is a coach of the team and the point guard of the team? Oh my goodness! Now I change my stand. I will never make friends with a person with such lousy personality! " countered Hoshiko.
" To your disappointment, he is one of the best point guard in Kanagawa Prefecture (did I spell correctly?) you know! Shoyo Basketball was second last year in the district, for your general knowledge." answered Yukiko, filled with admiration. Lucky for her, Hoshiko did not noticed the different tone in her sentence and did not bother to tease her.
There was no reply from Hoshiko, who was focusing on how Fujima shot the ball nicely into the ring (is it called ring?). He gave a sign of victory and continued.
" Hmm, he isn't that bad after all anyway..." mumbled Hoshiko.
Just then, Fujima saw them at the door and greeted them. Yukiko greeted back but Hoshiko immediately looked away. However, she said 'innocently', all her praises just before disappearing into thin air, " You can still play after I stepped on your leg ne? I think I should have stepped harder." This earned her a shocked look from Yukiko, who was helpless with Hoshiko's mischief.
" As you can see, it was nothing. It was not as painful as you thought so don't worry." Fujima countered with a feign smile.
Hoshiko gave a soft snort and walked away arrogantly, with Yukiko running after her, wanting to question her about it. Just then, Hanagata, who witnessed this tensed exchange of words, came over to Fujima and asked," So is this the ' vicious chicken you referred to yesterday?"
" She is worse than that. She did not even bother to apologise and pretended to be so righteous! She is a spastic peahen!" replied Fujima as a matter of fact.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*
In class, after assembly, everyone was chatting with their partners, turning the room into a noisy market while waiting for the teacher. Only Fujima and Hoshiko were involved in their own stuff, refusing to have anything that deals with each other.
Today was a little better than the day before. Both of them did not bothered about each other, concentrating on their own. Maybe they were too tired to start another squabble. Just then, the bell rang and it was time for recess. Hoshiko had discovered the auditorium the day before, where a grand piano lay on the stage. She could not resist the temptation of playing on it thus she rushed there upon hearing the bell. Fujima looked up in surprise, "ah, where would this chicken want to be such a hurry to get to?"
Hoshiko loved music (sounds boring?) other than basketball, a unique combination of interest few people had. (odd, isn't she?) She started learning the piano at the age of five, not on the insistence of her parents, but on her persistence to learn the grand instrument. Hence, by now, she had finished her piano 'course' of the 8 grades, her interest not diminished any little. ( urm, I know this is not really related to the story but it has another purpose ne! I suppose most of your can guess it already(",))
Fujima, tired of the frequent bickering or cold war between his partner and him wanted to find a place of rest, where he could get rid of his annoying fans and relax for a while.
When he went into the air conditioner room, his attention was brought to the stage, where he saw a girl sitting in front of the piano. He immediately gasped and slapped his forehead.
" What the heck!? Why must I see her even during my precious break! This is pure bad luck!" he mumbled to himself.
" She's sitting in front of the piano? I pity the instrument, about to be destroyed in her hands. I think I better run off before I suffer another headache listening to her 'performance'. Wah! Why can't I have a place of rest!?" he thought to himself, nearly on the verge of crying why is fate so cruel to him.
Just as he was about to open the door, melodious music filled the entire room, causing him to halt in his pace. The tempo was fast, but it was cheerful and sweet. Nevertheless, it helped him calm his nerves as he engrossed himself in the soothing music. He turned to look at her again.
She seemed different, different from the arrogant and unreasonable hen. Here, she looked kind of sweet and innocent and there was a special aura around her. She looked pretty, with the shoulder length hair swaying to the music and expressive eyes deep in concentration. Just then, she smiled to herself. There were dimples at her cheeks and it made her looked beautiful. It formed some kind of attraction to Fujima.
" Ah. This dangerous chicken can still play the piano rather well ne. Never imagine about that before. I thought she would be those destructive people who would smash the piano before anything. Ha ha. Well, she should smile more often, rather than being so fierce," Fujima changed his stand, his impression of her changing for the better as he closed his eyes, enjoying the music.
However, when she finished the piece, Fujima, snapped out from his enjoyment, immediately 'flee' from the room, for fear that she might start another squabbling session.
Hoshiko, on hearing a sudden 'thud' at the Auditorium door, looked up in surprise. However, she could only catch a glimpse of a brown haired guy in uniform. Out of curiosity, she ran up to check but was greeted with an empty corridor. She shrugged her shoulder, telling herself that she must have been too sensitive.
