"This is not happening to me!!! Arghhhh!!!!!" Sendoh Akira exclaimed as he looked at his reflection in the mirror. The spiky-haired Ryonan captain was on the verge of tears. His face was marred by an alien growth. It's hideous red-coloured round shape sat perfectly on Sendoh's nose. Yes, it was a zit. The Epitome of Evil in the Ryonan player's opinion, next to Fukuda that is. Sighing softly to himself, he dabbed a generous amount of anti-zit cream onto his nose. He took the container of the cream and read the label.
// Hmm..zits gone in two minutes. This better work or else// . He needed to look good today to rescue Hiro-kun from the evil clutches of Fukutori.
"Ngahahahahahahahahaha!!!" he suddenly laughed loudly. Thoughts of doing unspeakable things to a certain thick-lipped power forward came rushing to his mind. Imagining himself holding a katana, he lunged forward towards the enemy and….
A knock on his bedroom door dragged Sendoh back to reality. "Sendoh dear, are you alright?" came his mother's voice through the thick mahogany door of his bedroom.
"Everything's fine mom" he answered while wiping off the cream on his nose with a tissue.
"Well alright then. Don't be late for school okay?"
"Yes mom" he answered back.
As soon as he heard his mother's soft footsteps fade away, he quickly looked at himself in the mirror again and all blood drained from his face. Sendoh Akira screamed.
Meanwhile…
" Fukky and Jin-Jin sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" exclaimed a very happy and not to mention mischievous looking Koshino Hiroaki. Beside him, walked a blushing Fukuda.
"Aww.. look at that! Lover boy is blushing! Isn't that sweet?"
"Will you stop that already?" Fukuda replied, his voice laced with venomous intentions to murder Koshino if he kept teasing the sensitive power forward. Stepping in front of Fukuda, Koshino smiled and bowed.
"Sorry Fuku-chan. It's just that you and Soi-kun are so adorable. Hey! You two didn't even notice that I exist when you and your Jin-Jin ventured into a deep convo na?" Grinning from ear to ear, he ran as fast as is legs could carry him and started to tease Fukuda again.
"Fukky and Jin-Jin sitting in a tree! K-I-S- "
He stopped the teasing at mid-sentence as he saw a very familiar notebook-holding figure approaching his left. As soon as the figure saw him and Fukuda, he ran to the both of them.
"Koshino-san! Fukuda-san!" waved the ever so cheerful Aida Hikoichi. Sighing, Koshino waited for the onslaught of hyperactiveness that radiated from the younger boy.
"Good morning Hikoichi. My, you look happy today as always" greeted Koshino.
Chuckling, Hikoichi bowed and greeted both his upperclassmen. "Why don't we go to school together na? I want to share some top secret information about next week's friendly game with Soai High [1] ! We'll sure to win with the information that I've gathered!" he exclaimed with enthusiasm.
Koshino and Fukuda could do nothing but listen to the endless information that their junior was feeding them. Sweatdropping, they followed the younger boy all the way to school, wishing they had brought along earplugs.
Lunch break…
// Where in God's name is Sendoh?! He promised to help me with my biology project in his free period! That good-for-nothing idiot!// Stomping through the cafeteria, Koshino was fuming mad. After scanning the entire cafeteria for a certain spiky-haired baka, Koshino grumbled and sat beside Fukuda, his food untouched.
"Loosen up a bit will ya? Stop losing your hair over Sendoh. He's probably sleeping under a tree or something." Fukuda said while munching on an onigiri[2] . One of Koshino's vein popped and he smacked Fukuda's head.
"Oi boya[3], where the heck are your manners? Don't eat while your mouth is full."
"Ouch! That hurts!" Rubbing his poor head, Fukuda did his best to impersonate the iniquitous glare of death that Fujimiya Ran of Weiß Kreuz often wore.
"Stop being a baby Fuku-chan. It was of good intention okay? I don't want you to choke. Who's going to replace you as my accomplice in our plan? Stupid." He folded his arms over his chest and looked at his teammate.
"Yesh mom. I won't do it again *mom* " Fukuda grumbled. //Kami-sama, I hate being called Fuku-chan!!! IhateitIhateitIhateit! //
"Say that again and you wish you were never born". Smirking, Koshino *finally* took a sip of his soda.
Sweatdropping, Fukuda just continued to eat his onigiri when a question interrupted his thoughts.
"Hey Koshino, when are we going to execute the next phase of our plan? I want this to end as soon as possible". //That means I want to be with my Jin-Jin!! I love you thy Jin-Jin!!!//
"Patience my dear Fuku-chan. Patience. The bait, which is my Sendoh [ Madiha: Yes..Hiro-kun's Sendoh! ^^] will continue to believe that I am head over heals for you. When the time comes, we'll tell him that we are engaged to be married and we'll see his devastated reaction. Then, I'll choose an appropriate moment to spur out the truth. He'll probably be mad towards me at first, but I'm sure he'll get over it and before you know it, me and Sendoh are officially together. Simple as ABC isn't it? I'm doing all this just to torture my beloved ne?"
Chuckling to himself, Koshino felt confident. He truly believed that his plan to get back at Sendoh for fooling him about the anonymous love letters will succeed.
Just about when Fukuda wanted to tell Koshino not to be so over-confident in his plans, the bell rang signaling the end of their lunch break. Grabbing their things, both proceeded to their next class without ending the conversation.
Unknown to the both of them, a certain Un-Be-Ri-Va-Bu-Ru-uttering 16-year old was sitting behind them, eavesdropping on their private correspondence.
Now…moving on to our beloved Spiky-haired Ryonan player... where could he be?
//Okay, the coast is clear! Time to leave the janitor's closet!//
Hiding inside a very stuffy closet was the heartthrob Sendoh Akira himself. And why was the school's favourite basketball player hiding in a place like that? All because of one single zit that decided to pop out on his nose. And to make things worse, the anti-zit cream didn't inflate the horrible thing but it mutated the growth to make the zit even larger than before.
//Damn! I knew I shouldn't have trusted that wretched cream! Zits gone in two minutes my ass!//
Trying to elude a big number of people is a tough job. Especially when you have a hoard of girls chanting one's name whenever they saw a glimpse of you.
/ I'm gay dammit! Leave me in peace!.....*sigh*…/And I even broke my word to Hiro-kun to help him with his Biology Project. He'll hate me and he'll be Fukutori's forever!//
Sighing softly, he made his way down the empty hallways, pondering if he would attend Economics class. Suddenly, he saw Hikoichi Aida approaching his way. [Madiha: Attack of the Hikoichis'! *gasp*]
//Damn Hikoichi! Aren't you supposed to be in class right now??!? Quick! Hide!//
Using the skills he developed during basketball, Sendoh tried to elude the younger lad and make his way back to the janitor's closet. But the attempt failed as Hikoichi spotted him right away.
"Sendoh-san! Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you!"
"Oh hi there Hikoichi. Aren't you supposed to be in class right now?" Facing towards the other end of the hallway, Sendoh was determined not to show his face.
"Umm…you're supposed to be in class too Sendoh-san! Anou…Sendoh-san, are you alright?"
"Of course I am! Why shouldn't I be?" //Lame one Akira! Lame!//
"Then….why aren't you facing me? Are you mad at me or something?"
Turning around , Sendoh showed his face. He imagined that Hikoichi would burst out laughing when he saw the zit. But, to his surprise, Hikoichi acted like he didn't notice the zit.
"Hey Sendoh-san! I saw Fukuda-san and Koshino-san during the break. Why weren't you with them?"
At the mention of both the names, Sendoh's face showed sadness that was never before seen by any Ryonan High student. Seeing his captain and upperclassman in sorrow, Hikoichi instantly made up his mind to tell his captain about the conversation between Fukuda and Koshino.
"Suman Sendoh-san.Are you sad because Fukuda-san and Koshino-san are together?" he asked.
Sendoh was surprised at Hikoichi's knowledge of the affair but he merely nodded. Smiling, Hikoichi took a deep breath and look directly at his senior.
"Sendoh-san, I have something to tell you"
