Kagami slammed his hand on the top of his alarm clock, nearly breaking the snooze button. He yawned loudly, sitting up and slowly making his way out of bed and towards the bathroom. He slowly brushed his teeth and combed his hair with his hands. Upon returning to his room, he searched his closet for something to wear.

'Hm,' he thought. 'Well, I don't know if I'll ever need these again, so I might as well get used to wearing them less often...but that can wait till tomorrow.' Kagami pulled a white tank and his old basketball jacket and pants out from his closet and slipped them on. 'After I get my uniform, this will probably be the last time I wear these...'

Kagami looked in his mirror, sighed, and headed downstairs. 'Now, the real question is, am I motivated enough to make breakfast before I go?' Kagami glanced at the clock on the oven and completely gave up the whole concept of breakfast, grabbing his schoolbag and walking out the front door, locking it behind him.

'I probably should have gone to the opening ceremony so I knew at least where to go...nah, basketball is always better.'
The school was about a fifteen minute walk from his house. He arrived at a decent time, and decided to real the bulletin to find out which class he would be in. He scanned the lists, quickly learning there was only one class for each grade.

'God this place is so old...' he thought, scrolling through the last names until he reached the K's. He quickly found the tenth grade list, and found his name on top of the only other person in the class with the last name K. "Kuroko Tetsuya, eh? Ha, what a girly last name for a boy," he mumbled to himself. Once he was done entertaining himself, Kagami couldn't help but notice his peers whispering and looking upwards. "Ugh, It's them again..." "Why does no one stop them?""At least It's semi-entertaining..."

Kagami looked up towards the roof of the school and noticed a small group of kids leaning against the rail, yelling at the top of their lungs. Their speech was hard to hear at such a far distance, but still fairly perceivable. Kagami leaned towards the nearest group of staring kids. "Hey, uh, who are those guys?" "You don't know? They're the basketball club. They've been doing stupid stuff like this since last year. Honestly, it just gets on everybody's nerves, but the teachers here are super nonchalant, so they get away with a lot of stuff."

"Basketball, eh?..." Kagami, out of curiosity and determination, decided the best course of action for him right now would be to skip class and find out where the basketball club was currently residing. He figured it wouldn't be too big of a deal, today was the first day of school so all of the clubs were meeting up anyway. Kagami just knew that he wanted to find them, pronto. A ray of hope had finally shone down from above, and he couldn't let such an open chance slip away.

Eventually finding the gym, he slowly opened the double doors to the sound of a whistle blowing. "Time!" yelled a female voice. Kagami peeked inside. Around five generously sized male individuals were crowded around a smaller, stricter female. 'I guess I should speak up now...?'

"Um..." Kagami began. All six glanced in his direction. "Who are you?" the small brunette asked. "Um, my name is Kagami Taiga...I heard there was a basketball club, and..." by now, Kagami was completely inside of the room. Everyone else gawked at his incredible build.

"S-So tall...how come we've never seen you before?" the brunette asked, slowly approaching him with eyes full of wonder. "W-Well, I just moved here recently...from America, actually-"

"Take your shirt off."

"...heh?!"

"Just take your damn shirt off, pansy!"

Kagami reluctantly removed his shirt, allowing the small brunette to scan his torso. "Such great numbers..." she whispered. "Alright, you can put it back on. You can go stand on the side for now with the other newcomer."

Kagami looked towards the sidelines to find a whole lot of nothing. "I don't know what you're talking about, there's no one there..."

"What?! She was just here a second ago..."

"S-She?!..."

"I'm right here." Kagami looked down and in front of him to notice none other than a small female with long blue hair. He nearly choked on himself, reeling backwards. "Y-You!"
