Hey! Sorry for the delay in posting my chapter 1! Enjoy reading!

Chapter 1: Ruk11/ Dream08

KKKKRRRRRRIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!

"Oof!" Eno-ei fell off her bed with her head aching. "Stupid clock." She muttered drowsily as she turned it off.

It's another day of torture from the teachers again and she can't even stand up from the floor. She rubbed her eyes to get a clearer view of things and finally got the strength to stand.

OoOoOoOo

Rukawa listened to his walkman while riding his bike and went down the street going to Shohoku. To him it was another ordinary day and nothing special would happen. As expected, girls would admire him and run to him abruptly with noisy screams. That annoyed him.

OoOoOoOo

"Eno-ei, you're going to be late for class again. Remember, you were already late six times. If you get one more, you're going to have a dead D in your records." Reiko shouted. She took a sip of coffee while holding a styro-cup of hot choco with her left hand. She positioned her left hand at the right side of the stairs and waited for 3 seconds.

Eno-ei bolted down the stairs and swiped the hot choco off Reiko's hand. "Arigato!" She drank the hot choco in one gulp as she went out of the gate and ran as swift as a cheetah. "I can't afford to be late…I can't afford to be late…" She repeated over and over.

After 5 minutes, the school bell rang and all the students were walking to their respective classrooms when suddenly a gush of wind pushed them aside. "What was that?" They curiously asked looking at the vague figure running across the hall.

OoOoOoOo

"O-HA-YOU RUKAWA! RUKAWA! RUKAWA! GO GO GO RUKAWA!" The Oendan girls screamed at the top of their lungs and danced enthusiastically in the middle of the hall.

Rukawa ignored them and continued walking to the classroom. It's always like that. This usual morning routine would never end until he gets out of that school and go to America.

America. Rukawa had always dreamed of going there to play basketball but coach Anzai wouldn't' allow him; instead, he was told to be number one in Japan first and so that became his goal.

Rukawa sat down on his chair and stared blankly outside the window. He can't seem to get off his mind about what had happened yesterday.

"Rukawa you're late." The teacher called.

He didn't care and he never will. So, he continued on staring.

OoOoOoOo

Eno-ei panted and opened the door abruptly. The teacher and her classmates ogled at her in shock.

"Uh…E-e-no-ei…" The teacher stammered. "Y-you're late."

"NAAAAAAANNNIII!" She screamed at the top of her lungs and collapsed.

OoOoOoOo

Later that night, Eno-ei woke up and found herself on a cozy bed with a cup of hot water beside her lamp.

"Eno-ei-chan?" She turned around and saw Reiko come inside her room. "It's about time you woke up. The principal called me this morning and told me you fainted." Reiko sat down beside her and caressed her head. "What in the world happened to you?"

"Oto-san is going to kill me." Eno-ei sat up straight and rubbed her eyes. "I'm late again!" She reached for the remote near the cup of water and turned on the television.

OoOoOoOo

Rukawa dribbled the ball three times and was able to get past through Sakuragi. He jumped up straight and shot the ball at the peak of the jump.

"Nice jump shot Rukawa!" Ayako complimented.

Haruko gazed at Rukawa in amazement and blushed. "He's so good." She whispered.

"Hey it's unfair! He was cheating! CHEATING!" Sakuragi pointed to Rukawa in frustatration and was about to punch him when Akagi took hold of his collar and pulled him.

"Are you stupid or just plain blind? He won fair and square." Akagi put him down and noticed that Rukawa had already left.

OoOoOoOo

dream11 is being used already.

"What? Someone took my nick! Oh well, let's try dream07."

/nick dream07

dream07 is being used already.

"Huh? It's taken too? What the? Okay, okay, I'll make use of dream08."

/nick dream08

"Yes! I'm in!"

Eno-ei leaped for joy and typed in the different chatrooms she usually chatted at. "Okay. Let's try this again. If it's the same as last time, I promise to delete JMRC."

OoOoOoOo

Rukawa sat down on the chair and wiped his face. He was finally able to chat with her last night but he was happy yet sad at the same time.

-Flashback-

He saw her nick and clicked on it with excitement.

Ruk11: Hello.

Dream08: Rukawa! Hi! How are you?

Ruk11: I'm fine. How about you?

Dream08: Lovely!

Ruk11: I miss you.

Dream08: Hey, brb. I'm gonna do something first. I'll be back. Don't worry.

Ruk11: Okay.

After 2 minutes, she quitted and never came back. "Kuso, she did it again." He looked down for a long time and controlled the sadness he felt inside. What was wrong? He still wanted her but it seems she doesn't feel the same way. Finally, he turned off the computer immediately and went outside for a run.

-End of flashback-

It was 8:03 p.m. and this was the usual time that she would be online. 'I'll be back. Don't worry.' He went straight to the computer and clicked on the JRMC icon.

"Please be online…" He whispered slowly.

OoOoOoOo

"Oh, I forgot New York." Eno-ei typed in #New York and successfully got in the chatroom.

Rukawa entered the chat room: #New York and looked for his expected guest.

At this moment, two different people will collide and discover each other's world.

At last, Rukawa saw her nick again and clicked on it.

Ruk11: Hey.

Dream08: Hullo.

Rukawa stared in wonder. Hullo? Where did that come from? She would never use that.

Ruk11: Are you okay? How are you?

Dream08: Of course I am that's why I'm online. How about you?

Ruk11: What's wrong with you? I'm fine. Are you sure you're okay?

"What's wrong with this dude?" Eno-ei raised her eyebrow and continued chatting with him.

Dream08: Nothing is wrong with me but something is with you. Stop asking if I'm okay because I really am okay?

Ruk11: You've changed.

Eno-ei glares at the screen and laughs. "This guys gone crazy. He's probably my classmate."

Dream08: Okay, stop pretending and tell me who you really are. Who's this?

Ruk11: What do you mean? You don't know who I am?

Rukawa frowned. Now he was a stranger to her? What did he do yesterday that made her like that?

Dream08: Stop playing tricks. Who are you?

Ruk11: Rukawa I'm not playing tricks with you.

"Ru-ka-wa…" Eno-ei stressed each syllable as if trying to remember where she heard the name. "Rukawa…I don't know him."

Eno-ei was about to reply when suddenly everything went black. "Crap! A brown-out! Reiko-san, Help me here!"

OoOoOoOo

Author's note:

Hey! I hoped you all liked my first chapter! Here are some translations of some Japanese words I used earlier:

Arigato - Thank you

Oto-san – Father/Dad

Ohayou – Good Morning
