Chapter 8: A New Start
Many things happened since I knew I have autism. Many things became clear and many things changed forever. I finally got friends and everyone acknowledged me. I'm happy they understand me now.
The Nationals are coming up. Time passed by and Oishi and I have become the 'Golden Pair' of Seigaku. Now there were no worries about Doubles 1. Well, there was a time, when Oishi got injured and I had to play with Momo. It was against Hyoutei. Luckily we won and reached the semi finals, when we met Rokkaku. That was the first time I was paired up with Fuji. I had never played with him before, but it turned out well. We won our match.
Speaking of Fuji, we are close friends now. We often do our homework at one of our houses and pair work isn't a problem anymore. I have learnt to deal with my autism and I get help if something is going wrong.
I'm often with Oishi too. We practice a lot and we managed to do the Australian Formation, followed by the I-Formation. It is fun when I am with Oishi, but it is always fun when I'm with the other regulars. I have improved my acrobatic style and I have developed my doubles skills. It was a good thing to ask Oishi to learn doubles. I'm more social now. I'm called the clown of my class, but I don't care. Everyone laughs about my acts, but that's just fun. I can be serious too, and my friends know that.
I go often eat together with Momo and Ochibi. Always fun, although Ochibi doesn't enjoy it much. He says always "Mada mada dane", but I don't care, nya.
My first match as a regular was against Yamabuki. Oishi and I won the match against a pair called the Jimmy's. How did they get that name? I wonder...
After the match against Hyoutei in the Kantou tournament Tezuka left Seigaku for a while to recover in Germany. While he was a first year someone injured his left arm. That injury had come back and he had to retire for a while. So we played the semi finals against Rokkaku and the finals against Rikkaidai without our buchou. But we managed to win both matches, although we lost both doubles matches against Rikkaidai. Those regulars are really strong. I wanted to become stronger too and I think Oishi understands me.
So we won against Rikkaidai. After that we went to Munich, Germany, to visit Tezuka. He is fully recovered now and has already returned.
Our first match in the Nationals is against Higa Chuu. Never heard of them, but I will give my best, whether it is singles or doubles.
Friends changed my life forever. I have done things I never could without friends. I have learnt a lot of them and I'm happy to have them.
Thanks to everyone who supported me. I'm glad for that.
Kore ga boku no atarashii sekai. Kore ga boku no atarashii inochi.

This was the last chapter. I hope I got the Japanese sentences right. Here's a part of the lyric from the song called "One", sung by Eiji's seiyuu Takahashi Hiroki, I love the song. Somehow I think it fits this story. XD
Tatta hitotsu Tashika na mono
Chikara no kagiri Oikake-tsuzukeru
Tatta hitotsu Kienai mono
Kanarazu itsuka Koete misetai yo
Saigo wa Kitto Dare datte
Jibun ni Uso wa tsukenai kara Be the One
(There's just one certain thing
that I'm continuing to chase after with all of my strength.
There's just one unfading thing
that I one day definitely want to surpass and show you.
In the end, surely, nobody can
lie to themselves, so be the one)
Hope you liked it!
