The next day was a slow day for Suzuki, waking up was hard her body was stiff even after she went for a hot bath and massaged her legs to try to keep them from stiffening up but is still didn't work as well as she hoped. The walk to school was a little slower than normal as her legs where not moving as fast as she would like her legs to move. The school day was long but it was nice she had just about every class with Saito, and she had to admit she was a little relieved to know that she was not the only one who was sore and stiff the next morning after some simple drill and exercise's Saito was just as sore as Suzuki was. The two girls sat side by side for most of their classes, they where sitting side by side as one of the classes and they both finished the question and where waiting for the next one when Saito leans over towards Suzuki.

"So i heard the coach is already trying to think and plan out a practice game for us" Saito said as she leaned over having to hold on to her desk to keep herself from falling out as the muscles in her body would not of held her up herself. Suzuki blinked her eyes as she looked over at her new friend as she process what she had heard.

"Ugh really? We just start doing warm up and exercise's and he's already gonna try to find a team to practice with? wow I guess coach must be expecting a lot from use" Suzuki said and then sighed and dropped her head her long golden blonde hair to fall in front of her face before attention slowly turned to the teacher as she started to talk again. The rest of the day proceeded in a rather similar manner.

A part of Suzuki was happy to hear the last bell ring as she starts to put her books into her backpack and stands up to face her new friend as she walked up to her.

"Ugh a part of me is a little scared to try to imagine some of coaches exercises or what he could have planned im still sore" Suzuki whined as her and the purple haired girl slowly walked out of the class and slowly started to walk through the halls towards the gym.

"Just think about it this way after a while your muscles should become use to the warm ups and exercise so after a while you should not hurt so bad" Saito said smiling over at the small slouching blonde that dragged her feet, hearing a soft sight Suzuki nodded her head before picking her head up and looking over at her friend as she nodded her head at her and straightened up a little and didn't look as gloomy as the two walked towards the gym where a couple of the other girls already were and some still to come. After everyone showed up they started stretching again before they started to warm up. After they where good and warmed up and did a couple of drills the coach called them all together.

"Ok i you guys to split in half and play a game let's try and make the amount of first years on each side equal" Oshima said as he started to split the group in half, Saito and Suzuki ended up on the same team with two second years and the captain while all the others where on the other team. They lined up in order Suzuki took up the point guard position, Saiko was the small forward, the captain Ikeda Kimiko took the power forward position and the two second years took the last two spots. The tallest woman played center she was far taller than even Saiko and the other was a broad-shouldered girl who took up shooting guard. Suzuki's knees bent as she got ready as she looked over at the coach who had the ball and whistle and in one quick movement the ball went up, both girls jump, before she knew it Suzuki saw the ball flying towards the girl she was marked moving quickly she just barely grabs the ball as the other girls fingertips brush against, not missing a heat beat she continued running as she dribbled the ball. unfortunately in order for her to reach the ball she was now in the middle of the other team, her eyes glanced around hoping to pass the ball but they were all blocked but she quickly found herself face to face with the tall second year student that she had seen at the club booth she believed her name was Ishihara Leiko. She was a rather tall girl. Suzukis eyes scanned the court only to see everyone was not covered and that she could not pass, continuing she got in close and went to run around the long-haired girl. In seconds her hand reached out to try to steal the ball and at that second Susuki bent her knees lower her hand lowered bouncing the ball only inches lower from the range that the other girls hand, her hand continued to go over top of her own hand missing the ball and in that second that she missed Suzuki pushing off of her toes with her knees bent she broke into a quick sprint. Leaving the group behind as she quickly covered the ground of the court. the move shocked the other team and they broke from there one-on-one blocking as two started to run after her in trying to catch up with her before she got to the net. Not trusting her accuracy as the angle of the net she was angled as she quickly glanced around a smiled happily seeing that Saiko had been able to get into a gap and with the quick flick of her wrists the ball was gone.

Saiko Caught the powerful pass with ease and right in front of the hoop in the three point range she jumps straight up catching some good air as she shoots. The ball rolls off of her finger lips and they watch it fly through the air a nice arch on it making it a hard shot to block. Two girls jump in an attempt to get it but they did not have the height and the speed in order to stop it and it slipped between the two and through the hoop.

"yes way to go to do Saiko-kun nice shot" Suzuki said smiling over at her friend who made the shot before she quickly moved to cover her marker she imagined the other team would not want them to take lead on the first part of the match. The match continued that way both sides fighting but in the end Suzukis team one by a two point lead.

Suzuki and Saiko walked towards the lockers both breathing heavily and dragging their feet those second and third years could really pressure them on the court.

"So Suzuki-kun how did you pull that move off at the beginning of the game?" Saiko asked as she looked over at her short friend only to receive a shrug.

"Ishihara-kun is really taller than me and at the angle her knees where bent and the angle she normally aims her steals at made it easy to dodge, being so short I have no problems dribbling close to the ground or kneeling and getting close to the ground. Then while my knees where bent I use the power and momentum to push of and break into a fast sprint," Suzuki said as she simply explained what she did as they walked into the lockers and started to change.

"Oh Suzuki-kun I heard a rumour that there's gonna be a practice match between Seiren and Kaijō guys basketball teams are going to have a little practice match, we should go watch I heard Kaijō High acquired one of the Generation of Miracles," Saiko said her voice got really quiet as she said that last part it was even enough to make Suzuki and some of the other girls stop what they where doing to look over at her.

"If they acquired student that's from the Generation of Miracles then maybe we should go and see this game," Suzuki said a grin started to break out across her lips as she thought about all the research she was going to end up doing know, she loved that Saiko normally was always able to get her hands on any kind of information as long is it was available.
