Che. I officially hate my new coach. I hate my retainer as well, but there's another story completely.….
Chapter 6
Momo made his way up the steps that lead to the tennis courts the Seigaku Jr. High tennis team was be playing at.
He sighed. "What am I doing here?"
He looked at his watch. They should be done, if not finishing up. He couldn't come on time, because Eiji-senpai had shown up at his door that morning, insisting the two go and watch the match that their regulars were playing in. And Momo was not about to tell Kikumaru Eiji that he wanted to go watch Ryoma more.
"Yo." He said, coming up behind Horio. "What's going on?"
But Horio seemed to ignore him, and instead started screaming about the point that was just scored.
"Ryoma-Sama only needs one more point and we win!—AH! WE WIN! GOOO RYOMA-SAMA!"
Momo jumped slightly. Tomo. Defiantly Tomo.
"Thanks… I guess…"
"Oh, Momochan-Senpai! How long have you been there?"
"Eh? Not to long Kachiro."
"Just a few minutes!" Tomo chirped.
"Momo-senpai?"
Echizen.
Echizen behind him.
"Hey." Was all he could manage to say, when he turned. Those golden eyes were staring right into his own violet ones…again. And this time, he wasn't going to run.
He promised himself that earlier. He was going to prove his Senpai wrong…. Even if he was now unsure of the subject.
"How did you know to come here?"
Momo was now playing with his hands.
"I told him." Horio said.
Ryoma tilted his head to the side a little. He opened his mouth to say something, but a smaller regular ran up to him.
"Buchou, can we go now?" He asked. " This probably sounds bad- but I've got to go… there's someone I wanted to meet…But my match took longer then I had expected-"
"That's because you're inexperienced." Horio jumped in.
The kid just looked at him.
Ryoma rolled his eyes. "Horio, you owe me laps. Again. Yeah, go on and leave."
"He's a freshman. He's good, but not to good. Not as good as Ryoma was when he made the team."
"Horio."
"Sorry."
"Anyway….Echizen…want to go get a burger? You know.. Like… old times? And catch up?"
"Senpai's treat then fine."
Momo laughed. "Yeah yeah, you brat."
Ryoma smirked.
"Hai, senpai."
