Chapter 2: Atsushi

"Shut up!" I shouted angrily as I went out our house. Argghh! How I hated my onee – san! She teased me about Kanzaki everytime!

Sigh, Mayu Kanzaki.

My first girldfriend.

My ex – girlfriend.

She dumped me right after our graduation ceremony! She said she love HIM! Him, the tallest giant in basketball team! I hate that I'm short! Though she explained that she chose him over me not because he is tall and I am short, that it was just pure coincidence, I am still disappointed on my height. I'm Otani (big valley) but 156 cm! This is so frustrating!

Thank heavens we moved here in Sakai, Osaka because my father was assigned here. That way I can move on Kanzaki. Somehow I feel sad because I left my friends there, but I'm starting to gain friends here. Thanks to basketball camp, I got to know people.

"Yow, Otani. ."

"Nakao, where are the others?"

"There are already in the court. Let's go."

I followed him. He is Nakao Heikachi. He is one of my friend in the summer camp. I really love summer camps, especially basketball. Many people laugh at me because I'm short, but it doesn't stop me to play basketball! It doesn't really matter what your height is, as long as you have passion on it. Fortunately, my hard work was paid off, as I became a regular player in middle school! See? You can be anything as long as you do your best!

"The stars are beautiful tonight. ." Nakao interrupted my thoughts. I starred at the night sky. They are indeed beautiful.

"I guess it is right time to play night basketball!" I added cheerfully.

"Nobu – chan will think it is romantic . ." Nakao changed in a dreamy expression.

"You lover boy! You always talk about your girlfriend! Don't make me remind her! She always teased me when we practice at the camp! She's so annoying!"

"But what she said is true. Don't hide it. It's obvious your short, hehehee.." Nakao and his girlfriend are the same! They are so annoying! "Say that again ang I'll smack you!"

"They're here!" My other friend reported as we arrived at the court. You are lucky Nakao I didn't make you into pieces!

One of my seniors put his hand on my head. "Hello, chibi – san, are you lost? Common, let's find your oka – san. ." he said, and others laughed exaggeratedly.

"I'll smack you right now!" I shouted furiously. Do not mess up with my height! Unfortunately, they kept on laughing at me.

I hated being short!


Yeheey! Done with Otani's side. Otani and Koizumi encounter next chapter!

Thanks to Destyya for adding my story to her favorites :)
