The thing I remember most clearly from my sophomore year is the huge commotion Fuji caused when he joined the tennis team. I thought it was really funny, nyah. Thinking back on it, it i was /i really funny!
I got to know Fujiko-chan in our freshman year. He was in my homeroom, and we sat next to each other so of course I started talking to him. Homeroom is pretty boring anyway. Not as boring as Classics, but still really boring. Nyah! What was I talking about? Oh right, Fuji. Anyway, we t- well I talked, he was a pretty good listener. I liked him, 'cause he didn't seem to think I was stupid like most other people in our year. When I told him I didn't like Classics he even offered to tutor me, since it was his favourite subject. I was a bit dubious (heh, nice word!) to it at first, because in our Classics class he didn't even pay attention… At all! But when the teacher called on him to answer a question he did so easily, still with his ever present smile on.
It was a bit creepy actually.
I got used to it real quick though. What can I say, I adjust easily. So by the time I realised there was something scary behind that smile, I was already best friends with him. Well, no matter how much he creeps me out sometimes, I know he'd never really hurt me. Actually, he doesn't like hurting people at all, it's just… Well he's Fuji, nyah! He tricks people, it's part of his personality. It can be kind of fun, as long as it's not directed at me.
Anyway, he helped me with my tennis too. We played a bit on this court that's a few blocks away from Fuji's house. Fuji's parents are really strict by the way. You wouldn't think it looking at Fuji, but they are. His sister is nice though (a bit on the creepy side, just like Fuji), and his otouto Yuuta-kun is really cute. Unyah, I lost track again. Mengo mengo. So, we played a game. I lost, and I mean big time. A strings breaking, racket dropping, legs folding loss. Kind of upsetting. I was on the tennis team after all, and he was not. But at the same time as it was embarrassing, it was like really cool nyah! He didn't even break a sweat you know? So I figured I'd bring him to practice with me, second year. You know, to beat the stuffing out of some of those snobbish seniors or something. He didn't seem too happy about the idea at first. Something about his brother. I kind of ignored that at the time, so I can't remember very well.
When we got to practice it only took a couple of minutes before one of the seniors got annoyed with Fuji's smile and challenged him to a game 'to wipe the smirk off his face'. Really nyah, Fuji doesn't smirk. His smile is sweet and innocent. Well it looks innocent at first glance anyway. I'm glad fuku-buchou Tezuka wasn't there that day (don't know why he wasn't), 'cause he wouldn't have allowed the game. He's a bit of a stick-in-the-mud. I was really excited about Fuji's game, but for some reason he like totally threw it. Really annoying. I told him so afterwards too, but he just smiled, nodded and said something like how he chooses his opponents, not the other way around. Yeah sure. Tennis doesn't work that way, I told him. His response to that was;
"Who said I was talking about tennis?"

For those who may not know:
Fuku-buchou means vice captain. As in sport related things.
Otouto means little brother.
Unyah and nyah are cute catlike sounds used by the character who was 'talking'.
Mengo mengo is his version of gomen gomen.
Fujiko-chan or just Fujiko are nicknames he uses for Fuji (um, yeah that was obvious, but anyway).
This one was kind of easy to write. And not angsty at all, heh.
I know this one's shorter. That's why they're drabbles! I know for a fact that the next one will be even shorter, but the last one will be long.
Review please. If only to tell me what I'm doing wrong.
