Ohayou

Kogure was passing the corridor when he saw Sakuragi chasing Mito and their other friends.

"Ah ha! Ha! Ha! You're just annoyed 'coz it was Rukawa whom Haruko was thinking of and not you. Ha! Ha! Ha!" Takamiya was teasing Sakuragi with a loud voice while running away from him.

"You jerk! There's just no girl who would want to be with you." Sakuragi shouted back.

"Why? Does Haruko want to be with you? Ha! Ha! Ha!" The four replied, laughing.

"Ahh!!! I'll get you four!" Sakuragi chased them until they passed Kogure.

Huh… another normal day. Kogure sighed after the four had passed by.

"Good morning." A voice suddenly spoke behind Kogure. He knew that voice. He remembered that one. He then slowly turned around to see the owner of that sweet voice. He was stunned when he saw the same sweet smile that stunned him before.

"Hello. Nice to see you again, vice cap." It was Colline, giving him one of her stunning smiles again. Kogure wasn't able to reply immediately because he was still carried away by the charming smile of Colline.

"Ah… he-he-llo-hello too." Kogure stuttered.

"So, is it your free time?" Kogure asked timidly.

"No. Actually, I'm already late for my next class. So, see you around next time. Bye." Colline went on her way but gave Kogure a smile first.

Kogure watched her as she walked on her way, and he's smiling.

"Rukawa! Rukawa! L-O-V-E Rukawa!" This was the noise of the cheer of the three die-hard fans of Rukawa during their practice in the gym. Everyone was serious in his practice except for one.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! What are you saying Curly? No one can beat me, because I am the genius. He! He! He!" Of course, it was Sakuragi again, boasting. There's no hope anymore, he's mind was already like that… unchangeable.

"Okay team, five minutes break." The good old gori said.

Sakuragi went right away to Haruko to brag. And Haruko was praising him for his "improveness" that wasn't really improving.

"Haruko, is Colline Salvu your classmate?" Kogure went near to Haruko and asked her.

"Colline Salvu?! Yes! She's my classmate. She is. In fact, she's a topnotcher in our batch. You know, she's a very good student. She's so bright. Sometimes I envy her because of her intelligence. But she's really good." Colline answered Kogure and started talking continuously.

"And another thing, a lot of people like her."

"Like… her?" Kogure asked, curious and surprised at the same time.

"Yes! A lot of people! She doesn't only have the brains, but she also has the beautiful looks and pleasing personality. That's why I know many guys fall for her."

"Fall for her?!" Kogure asked again, disturbed.

"Yes. You shouldn't even have to ask about that, because you can see it in her."

"Ah, thanks. Thanks for the short answer Haruko." Kogure turned around as if a hammer smashed him on the head.

"Your welcome Kogure." Haruko waved her hand while Kogure was walking away.

I don't know why I'm feeling like this. I don't know why it is as if a whole piece of bread blocked my throat after I heard what Haruko had said. Is there something wrong with me?

Then Kogure just pictured Colline wearing a sweet smile. He shook his head afterwards and went back to the court.

That's just the next. He!He!He!
