JUST HANGING A MOMENT WITH YOU

CHAPTER 2 - Starting a new day…
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
The next day, it's seven in the morning. Ann was sleeping peacefully in her bedroom. She should thanked God because it was Saturday and there are no classes, but if it was weekdays, for sure she'll be late in school.
Suddenly, her cell phone ringed loudly at the top of her study table, she awake all of a sudden and became cranky and annoy. Ann got up on her bed and picked it up. At that moment she looked at the screen of it to see who was calling and then she answered the call.
"Mosh-mosh!" Ann said monotonously,
"Ohayou, Ann-chan!" The voice on the cell phone said cheerily. "You sound so cranky this morning,"
"I'm not cranky, a little bit annoy, that's all, Megumi-chan! " Ann said irritatingly as she sat up on her bed.
"Gomen ne, if I get you annoyed," Megumi said to Ann on the cell phone, "Anyway, the reason I called you is because Yumi-chan wants us to go with her to watch movies. You want to go with us?"
"Hmm… let me see…" Ann said while looking at her schedule chart on the top of her desk. 'I don't have any chores to do,' she thought as she looked at her schedule chart. "Wait I'll ask my Onni-chan," She went outside of her room and knocked at the door across on her room, it was her brother's room.
"Onni-chan, can I go out today?" Ann said while she was holding her cell phone on her right hand.
Her brother, Kippie Tachibana – Fudomine Tennis captain-, opened the door and looked at her suspiciously. "Where are you going?" he asked, doubting at her suspicious permission.
"Megumi asked me if I want to go with them to watch movies." Ann said honestly. 'Why is Onni-chan strict today?'
Then flash back happened.
Yesterday, when Ann was in front of the gate of their house. Her brother, wearing a white plain shirt and a plain blue jogging pants, was waiting for her outside the door. When she entered at the gate, her brother looked at her seriously and scolded her for not going home early… at that night she got home seven-thirty pm. A/N: Actually, her curfews is six pm… Since her brother do all the dishes and cooked their dinner at that night, he decided to give her a punishment, she will do the laundry for two weeks. A/N: And it sucks… in my opinion I don't like doing the laundries every time I'm duty to do it… I hate it… nn;
"Who's Them?" Her brother said, snapping her out from her thought.
"Ah! Megumi, Yumi and Me! Don't be ridiculous, Onni-chan!" Ann said a little bit jumpy but still annoyed on her brother.
"Ok, you can watch movies with them," His brother said strictly and then he added, "But be sure you're here before six pm!"
Ann looked at her brother, disbelieving at what he was saying.
"Is that understood?" her brother said snapped, Ann nodded promptly and then she went back to her room.
"Saa—Ann-chan," Megumi said, "You're brother is so strict today. Did you do something wrong?"
Ann became jumpy all of a sudden and told her friend that she didn't do anything wrong… Actually she lied…
"Ok… Anyway, we'll meet at the park around 10 am. Is that ok?" Megumi said.
"Hai, it's ok. See you later." Ann said as she ended the call. She sighed and went to her bathroom.
She washed her face with cold water and wiping it with her soft towel hanging beside the mirror in her bathroom.
"It's gonna be a long day…" Ann murmured while wiping her face.

On the other hand, Momoshiro went to the SEIGAKU tennis court, wearing his white shirt and his blue jogging pants. He knows that even though it's Saturday they have a morning practices there. As he entered at the court, he saw his friends there. Suddenly, Kikumaru Eiji, his acrobatic player senpai, greeted him and talked to him.
"Nya—, Momo-kun, you came back!" Kikumaru said gleefully, chuckling like a child, "Why are you absent in our practices yesterday? Maybe you've dated someone, Nyaa—?"
"Kikumaru-senpai!" Momoshiro said, blushing, "I don't have any date yesterday! I just went to the street tennis court and just cooled down there." Then he sighed. 'Nice to be back again… Even though it's just a one-day absent, I feel I've been absent for a whole week,' He thought as he smiled.
Suddenly, the cold-buchou, Tezuka Kunimitsu, entered at the court and went to him, arms-crossed.
"Gomen nasai, buchou!" Momoshiro apologized, bowing his head at him. "I didn't come to our practices yesterday. I already know my mistakes, buchou."
"Nya—Oishi-kun," Kikumaru said to his doubles partner as he watched Momoshiro apologizing to Tezuka, "What's your bet?"
Oishi looked at him confusedly, then he giggled. He knows what his partner was talking about.
"40 laps," Oishi said, "How about you?"
"40 laps, too! Sugoi! We're the same! Nya--!" Kikumaru said, laughing at the same time. "I can't believe it!" then Oishi joined laughing with him.
"We're really a pair." Oishi said. "A golden pair."
Then they laughed once again.
Fuji looked at his best friend, Kikumaru Eiji, together with his partner in doubles laughing each other. He smiled happily at the little scene and looked at the sky.
"Something good will happen today," Fuji said, his blue eyes can be seen, still looking at the sky.
"You know the rules, Momoshiro. So as a punishment…" Tezuka said, "run 75 laps around the tennis court. Now!"
Momoshiro accepted his punishment and then he started running around at the court. A smile can be noticed on his face. He felt happy and glad that he came back to his normal self again. Suddenly, he saw Ryoma Echizen, first year regular, entering at the tennis court. Then he heard Tezuka's serious voice, commanding Echizen to run 20 laps around the court as a punishment for being late again at the practice. Momoshiro laughed when he saw the feline eyed boy sighed heavily and ran around the tennis court.
"Oi, Echizen! Wait up!" He said to Echizen, catching up with him.
"The great first year tennis regular become late again at the practice? You're really breaking a record..." Momoshiro teased.
"Mada Mada Dane." Echizen said his catchy phrase and then Momoshiro laugh as they ran around the court.
---- ---- ---- ---- -----
After the tennis practice, it was 10 o'clock already; he went to the changing room and changed his dirty shirt with an extra shirt he had brought. Out from nowhere, Kikumaru popped out and a grin on his face can be seen.
"Where are you going, Momo-kun?" Kikumaru asked mischievously, "Maybe you're going on a date?" grinning more. Momoshiro sweat dropped at his senpai and then he answered him back.
"Don't be ridiculous, Kikumaru-senpai." Momoshiro said, "I don't have any date,"
"Oh…Really," Kikumaru said disbelievingly, he sat on the bench near at the window, crossing his arms, "Don't lie to me, Momo-kun. I know you do…"
Momoshiro looked at him confusedly; he doesn't know what he was talking about. He brought his racquet case and opened the door.
"I'm not lying. Kikumaru-senpai! Ja!" He said while heading out in the changing room.
"Let's see about that…" Kikumaru said still grinning. He stood up and went outside the changing room. Suddenly, he saw Fuji, his best friend, coming closer to his direction. So he went to him, grinning.
"Fuji!" He said to his best friend, "Guess who I saw yesterday at the park." Excited to see his best friend's reaction.
"Uh… Momo-kun?" Fuji said uncertainly as his eyes cannot be seen.
"Nya--! How did you know that? I didn't tell you anything!" Kikumaru said, pouting like a cute little child while his two fists clenched, forming like a ball.
"It's just came up to my mind." Fuji chuckled, "What about him, Eiji?" he asked.
Kikumaru all of a sudden came back to his normal composure and told what he saw yesterday. He saw Momoshiro seating at the park bench together with a cute brown haired girl. Actually, He was about to take a shortcut to his home then he saw them.
"Eh? Really?" Fuji said teasingly, "Are you really sure about that?"
Kikumaru nodded cutely.
"Honest!" He said, then all of a sudden pout. "It's all right if you don't believe me." He said sadly.
"Oi, don't be silly." Fuji said, smiling warmly, "I believe in you." Then he patted Kikumaru's red head softly.
"Nya—" Kikumaru smiled at him, then they entered at the changing room to get their things.
---- ---- ---- ---- -----
As Momoshiro went out in the school campus riding on his bike, he went away there and headed to his favorite fast food restaurant to eat since he's hungry because of hard practices they did earlier. He check the time on his wristwatch and it reads, 10:00 am
While riding on his bike and focusing on controlling it, Momoshiro suddenly remembered his deal with Ann, his friend, yesterday. If he losses or win on their one set match, he had to tell his problem and treat her snacks for three consecutive days, and unfortunately he lose against her.
"Why do I have to treat her snacks for three consecutive days?" Momoshiro mumbled and then he sighed. 'And it will start today? Kami-sama, let my whole day be good,' he thought as he turned his bike to the left corner heading to a shortcut route going to his destination.
---- ---- ---- ---- -----
It was 10 am; Ann was sitting on the park bench, waiting for her two friends to come. While waiting for them, she kept her self busy by playing games in her cell phone so she won't get bored on waiting.
She's wearing a baby blue plain shirt and a beige color Capri pants, since it's hot today. For her feet, she wears white tennis shoes and beneath on it an ankle length white socks can be seen. Her usual two clips on both sides of her hair were clipped on her front hair.
Without any notice, a young, beautiful, black-wavy-long haired girl came, running towards her, waving her hands to catch the attention of Ann.
"Ann-chan!" The girl shouted.
Ann looked at her surprisingly and then she smiled.
"Megumi-chan!" She said as the girl chuckled and sat beside her.
"Gomen ne, Ann-chan." Megumi said while catching her breath and then her blue icy eyes became glittery, "I went to my aunt's restaurant to help her there and I didn't notice the time so I got late. Gomen nasai, Ann-chan!" she exaggeratedly said.
Ann sweat-dropped at her friend, a little bit annoyed at her.
"It's ok, Megumi-chan," Ann said, "Where's Yumi-chan?"
Then Megumi came back to her normal composure as she heard Ann's question.
"Oh, she'll be here in a minute. She said."
"I see."
Suddenly, a short-auburn haired girl went towards them, waving her hand as they noticed her.
"At last you came!" Megumi exclaimed to the girl who just came.
"Gomen ne, Megumi-chan, Ann-chan. I lost track of time, so I got late." The girl said, laughing nervously. "Shall we go now?"
Ann and Megumi nodded and then they went out the park happily.
"Ne, Yumi-chan?" Ann said curiously, "Did you cry?"
Yumi was stunned at her question. Ann was right! She had cried indeed, her eyes were swollen and red and then she also have eye bag. 'I don't want to tell it right now, I want to enjoy this day with them.'
"I did not," Yumi said, lying at her friends. "Let's just enjoy this wonderful day!" She walked ahead them, "Let's eat first before we watch movie, I'm hungry! Oi, Megumi-chan! Ann-chan! Come on!" She said joyously, hiding the sadness.
Ann looked at her friend worriedly, but then she shook her head to remove her worry. Megumi, smiled at her and then they went to catch up Yumi.
While they were walking, heading to the nearest fast food restaurant, they happily chatted about the new trends, school gossips, assignments… etc… like any other teenagers.
Suddenly, they heard someone was calling Ann's name. They looked behind them to see who was calling Ann's name.
"Kamio-kun!" Ann said surprisingly. 'I thought they have practice today?' she thought curiously. But then she shook her and sighed. 'What am I thinking?'
"Ne, Ann-chan? Daijoubu?" Kamio asked,
"Hai, I'm fine. Don't worry…" Ann said, laughing silly.
Then Megumi butted in.
"Kamio-kun," Megumi began, "What are you doing in here?" she asked.
"Well, I'm just going to the sport shop to buy something for my tennis racquet." Kamio replied coolly. "How about you?"
"We're just going to watch movie, you want to join with us?" Megumi said matter-of-factly.
Out from nowhere, Yumi, the short-auburn haired girl, was murmuring something while twiddling her both index fingers. Megumi, Ann and Kamio noticed the weird reactions of her, so Kamio asked if she was all right but she became jumpy and nervously replied him.
"I--I'm fine! Do-don't worry, Kamio-ku-kun." Yumi said tauntingly, blushing furiously. Actually, she has a crush on her classmate/ the regular tennis player of her school in front of her. 'I can't believe he was talking to me… I should put up my courage to talk to him.' She thought, still blushing. A/N: Yumi-chan is acting like Chris-chan in Daa! Daa! Daa! Hehehe '
"Anou, Kamio-kun," Yumi said shyly, blushing, while twiddling her index fingers. Kamio looked at her clueless.
Meanwhile, Megumi and Ann were whispering behind while she was busy talking with Kamio. They were talking about Yumi having a crush on him.
"Should we play match making to them?" Ann asked whisperingly, convincing Megumi to agree with her up coming plot. "Come on, it will be fun!"
An evil glint can be seen on Megumi's eyes and then she replied, "Ok, I'll join on your match making to them." And then they giggled evilly.
"Operation match making starts now!" Megumi became hyper. She was determined to match her friend and her classmate, Kamio.
While Yumi and Kamio were enjoying at their conversation, the two butted in and acted like they were starving.
"Yumi-chan, Kamio-kun… can we eat now, I'm hungry…" Megumi said while acting. Ann sighed deeply and thought, 'Don't exaggerate it, Megumi-chan…'
"Ah… Hai, Let's go!" Yumi said and then she faced Kamio, "Kamio-kun, would you like to join with us?" she asked while blushing.
"Come on, Yumi-chan. Hurry up…" Megumi acted exaggeratedly again while walking ahead with them, together with Ann.
"Please join us." Yumi said as she pulled Kamio and chased the two girls a head of her.
"WAAAAAAHHH!" Kamio shouted while Yumi was pulling her.

Finally, after long minutes of riding on his bike, he reached his favorite fast food restaurant. Momoshiro looked at his wristwatch to see the time, it reads 10:30 am, suddenly his stomach grumbled, complaining that he have to eat now.
He locked his bike on the bike rail and went inside the restaurant. He was surprised when he saw Ann there waiting at the line. When Momoshiro was going to call her name, he noticed that she was chatting with her friends there and even Kamio Akira, Fudomine Tennis Player too, so he shut his mouth and went to the line to order.
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
"Arigatou Gozaimas'!" The cashier said as Ann receives her order food. She went out to the line and she was surprised to see Momoshiro there.
"Momoshiro-kun!" Ann called out. Momoshiro looked at her and raised his left hand to wave.
"Konnichi wa, Tachibana's imoto." He said teasingly while Ann was walking closer to him.
"What did you call me?" Ann asked coldly, "Tachibana's imoto?"
"I was only teasing you," Momoshiro explained, "Gomen ne, Ann-chan!" he apologized and then laughed nervously.
"What are you doing here?" She asked curiously.
"Well, I'm here to eat." He replied, "And you? Are you having a reunion party or what?"
"Iie, my two friends invited me to watch movie but we stop by here to eat before we go there."
"Even Kamio?"
"Iie, Yumi invited him to come here and eat with us."
"I see…"
"I need to find vacant seats now." Ann said, smiling, "See you later…" she added then headed off.
On the other hand, Megumi and Yumi were still on the line, watching the little scene of Ann and the person she was talking with.
"Ne, Yumi-chan." Megumi said, getting the attention of the girl behind her. "What do you think about him?"
"He's slightly fine, but a little bit not my type." Yumi replied, walking one step ahead. 'Two persons to go before I order…' She thought impatiently.
They didn't notice Kamio was glaring at the guy, which Ann had talked with.
'Why is that Seigaku player is here? And he's making a move towards Ann-chan!' he thought angrily, clenching his fist. 'I should watch that guy carefully!'
