CHAPTER 3 – Meeting the Friends

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

After Ann found a vacant table for four people, she placed her ordered food on the table and waited her three companions, who were still waiting their turns to order. While she's waiting, she looked at the scenery outside the window beside her and watched the busy people passing by at the street. But suddenly someone snapped out her attention and placed its food on the table.

"Oi, you looked spaced out?"

"Ah, Megumi-chan." Ann said as she recognized her friend. "Oh, it's nothing." She replied.

"By the way, who's the guy you're talking with earlier?" Megumi asked, placing her bag beside her.

"Momoshiro, Takeshi. He's a tennis player from Seigaku Academy." Ann replied while her friend Yumi came with her food.

"What about Seigaku Academy?" Yumi asked curiously, sitting beside Megumi.

"Megumi-chan was asking about the guy whom I was talking with earlier." Ann replied.

"And?"

"And what?"

"And who was he?"

"Momoshiro Takeshi, Seigaku tennis player."

"Oh, I see…"

Then Megumi butted in.

"Is he your boyfriend?" she asked, grinningly mischievously.

"NANI?" Ann looked at her with a furious blush.

"Is he your boyfriend?" Megumi repeated.

"No! That's not what you are thinking! He's just a friend guy." Ann stammered.

"Oh… is that so…"

"How come every time I befriend a guy, you always thought he is my boyfriend?"

"Did I think like that?"

Ann looked at her annoyingly then she started eating her pasta she had ordered.

Then Kamio came towards them, bringing his tray of food he had ordered. As he placed the tray on the table, Megumi looked at him, smirking knowingly.

'Why does Megumi-san looking at me like that?' He thought nervously then he sat down beside Ann, since it was the only vacant seat. "Ne, Megumi-san."

"Hai?"

"Ano… Why are you looking at me like that?"

Megumi chuckled and then said, "Oh, it's nothing… Well, I'm just going to ask you… Do you know Momoshiro Takeshi?"

"As I could remember he's a regular tennis player from Seigaku academy."

"That's what Ann-chan had said awhile ago."

"Ano… Buchou said that he's a great competitor."

"Oh, really… Have you met him?"

"Not exactly… Well… when our team competed against Seigaku at the Regional Competition, I was busy preparing myself for my match. So I didn't care which is Momoshiro there." He explained.

"You're useless…" Megumi sighed.

"NANI?" Kamio annoyingly said while glaring at her. Megumi glared him back and then a glaring contest happened between them.

"Ano… Kamio-kun. Stop fighting with Megumi-chan…" Yumi said trying to restrain the heat up between her friend and her crush.

'Grow up please…' Ann thought as she watches the glaring contest between Megumi and Kamio. Suddenly, she noticed Momoshiro who was now searching for a vacant table after he picked up his tray of food on the counter.

"Momoshiro-kun!" She waved her hand, catching the attention of her Seigaku friend.

"Ann-chan." Momoshiro said as he noticed the girl who caught his attention. He went towards her and talked to her again.

"So, we meet again Tachibana's imoto!" He teased to Ann.

"You're really want a big scandal, aren't you?" Ann said, glaring at Momoshiro.

"Saa—come down, Ann-chan." Momoshiro said, shrugging off her glares. "I was just joking."

"Joking? Fine… fine… Anyway, I want you to meet my friends at school. This is Sanada Megumi and Tanade Yumiko." Ann said as she introduced her friends to him.

Megumi broke away at the glaring contest between her and Kamio, and then bowed her head politely at Momoshiro. "Nice meeting you." She said.

"Nice meeting you, Momoshiro-san." Yumi also said politely.

"And this is Kamio Akira. You've all ready met him. He's the one who competed against your teammate at the Regional Competition." Ann said.

"Which one of my teammates?" Momoshiro asked.

"The one with a green bandana on its head."

"Mamushi…"

"Pardon?"

"I mean that's Kaidoh, in our team he calls him Mamushi." Momoshiro said, laughing nervously.

Kamio looked at him seriously but greeted him politely.

"This is Momoshiro Takeshi," Ann said, introducing Momoshiro to her friends. "The one I was talking about earlier to you." She added.

"Nice meeting you all." Momoshiro said politely. "Anyway, I need to find some vacant table to eat on. I need to go. Sumimasen, Minna-san." He said while leaving them.

"Wait, Momoshiro-kun! Before you leave, let's move it on Monday. Is that ok?"

Momoshiro looked at Ann confusedly but then he gets it what she had meant to say. "Oh… that… Ok. No problem… Ja mata." Then he left them totally.

"SO… That's Momoshiro-kun you were talking about earlier…" Megumi said teasingly while smirking.

"Don't smirk like that, Megumi-chan. Like I said earlier, He's just a friend from Seigaku. That's Final!" Ann said sneeringly.

Megumi, who was still plastering a knowing smirk on her face, thought, 'what you said today will turn up side down someday, Ann-chan.' after that, her inner self grinned mischievously.

A/N: Gomen ne, Minna-san if this is short. I'm running out of ideas, I don't know how to end this story. Plus, I couldn't find the original written outline of this story on the bookshelves. But don't worry; I'll finish it no matter what!

Anyway, so how is it? Is it good or bad? Do I have wrong grammars again? sigh By the way! This month of June and the following months I'll be busy on my studies, so expect some delays on updating the proceeding chapters. Besides, I need to focus on my studies especially on my back subject, Accounting 3. I need to pass it! Sorry for the inconvenience . . . That's all.

Don't forget to review this chapter! Domo Arigatou for reading this.
