Seatmates Ch. 3
Teammates
I do not own PoT. If I did, there would be more scenes of Rikkaidai and Hyotei (as if there weren't enough already). We are back in 3rd year mode.
Fujikawa stared blankly into space, pondering slightly about what happened in History… 'Let's see… Meiji Restoration… Doodling in her notebook…' Maybe she should've been paying attention. It's not like it was her fault or it was her bad subject, history just seemed so boring. If Fujikawa could change the curriculum, she would. She would completely get rid of history. She didn't want to waste her time learning about reforms and old, dead people. She shook her head. Don't get sidetracked. She needed to know what the homework was. Fujikawa wished she paid attention, but in reality, it doesn't really matter, since she's not going to be majoring in history, but she could feel the nagging voice of her parents and her teacher (ESPECIALLY SANADA) in her head about missing an assignment. Fujikawa decides to ask Sanada, in order to spare herself from the torture in the form of her parents (ESPECIALLY SANADA), but he was still going to lecture her about her behavior of not focusing in class.
If only she knew where Sanada was. Fujikawa decides to think. She knew he was in a club, a sports club because all of the girls were screaming about how Sanada looked in his match against… some other school.
"Sanada-san looked so dreamy today doesn't he?" A girl questioned, as the other girl giggled. Both were walking right past Fujikawa.
"Of course! I love how his muscles flex when he's holding his racquet and when he's-" Fujikawa blanks out on their conversation because:
A. She didn't want to hear about any more of his body parts.
B. The conversation was taking a weird turn
Nevertheless, Fujikawa thinks and tries to figure things out. He's in sports, he holds a racquet? He doesn't seem like the type to be in badminton. Her second was tennis, and decides to try and check out the tennis courts… If only she knew where the tennis courts were. Gosh, she was a 3rd year and she still doesn't know her way around the school. Fujikawa gets up from the bench she was sitting on, and begins to walk around the school.
Geez, this school was so huge, how on earth was she going to find-
"NIOU, AKAYA, 50 LAPS NOW!" Fujikawa blinks. Was that… "STOP SLACKING OFF, MARUI!"
That was definitely Sanada... Screaming... And did he just say '50 laps?' Those poor, poor souls. And she thought Sanada was uptight as he is in class. Fujikawa never thought he was a screamer too... She thought he was just strict and quiet.
When Fujikawa arrived at the tennis courts, it was surrounded by hordes of girls, cheering on the Rikkaidai tennis team. Don't they have better things to do? Fujikawa could not see an entrance in or out the tennis courts, so she would just have to wait and sit there, until practice was done... For who knows how long. Then the tsunami of hormonal girls parted to let out two guys, one with silver hair in a rat tail, and the other with a mop of wavy black hair. The silver haired teenager, winked at the fan girls, possibly causing them to have cardiac arrest, and the other just waved at the girls, with a confident smirk on his face. So this is the power of teenage boys who play tennis. Note taken.
Assuming she wasn't gonna get any farther past those animals, Fujikawa decided to wait it out, until Sanada was done with practice. Needless to say, hour after hour went by, and the amount of girls decreased surrounding the courts, until it was only herself left sitting on the bleachers uninterested. She sighed, and checked her phone, it was 4 o'clock right now. How long do these people practice? Maybe she should've just gotten lectured by Sanada tomorrow. Suddenly, everyone was crowding around three people. Sanada, a slightly feminine looking male with wavy blue hair, and a male with a bob-cut and closed eyes. The blue haired male was saying something, and then the teenage males started to leave out of the gates. Sweet. Now's my chance.
However, when you tried to approach Snada who was walking with the two other males, Fujikawa was blocked by the silver haired boy who had to run laps. He stared down at Fujikawa, with a smirk on face.
"Puri~" He states. She blinked twice.
"Hi...?" Fujikawa trails off, unsure if he was greeting her or not.
"You're new here," His smirk only grew wider. What's with this guy? She tries to look around him for Sanada, only to be blocked by him. "Looking for someone?"
"Yeah," Fujikawa answers, trying to move around him, but he just won't let her pass!
"Niou-kun, what are you doing?" A curious voice questioned, as the silver haired man, 'Niou', turns to face him with a smirk,
"Nothing special," He answers innocently. There was a guy with brown hair and glasses standing near Niou.
"Niou-kun, don't lie to me," He states, after a few moments of silence. Fujikawa took this moment to escape Niou, by heading around him, as his attention was diverted by the man with glasses. Crap. Where did Sanada go? She then found the boy's locker room, and two people were waiting outside. The blue haired man and the guy with a bowl cut, and both turned their attention to you.
"Excuse me, do you need something?" The blue haired man questions with a kind smile. Fujikawa nods.
"I need to talk to Sanada," She elaborates, both seem slightly shock by the fact Fujikawa did not address Sanada with honorifics.
"What for?" The blue haired man questions again.
"The history homework," Fujikawa answers, and then she scratches the back of her head. "If I don't get it, Sanada's gonna lecture me again."
"Pardon me, but you are Fujikawa Hairi, correct?" The guy with the bowl hair cut asks. Fujikawa could only stare at him a bit, wondering where he got that information from, but nodded. He nods with understanding and shoots a look at the blue haired man, who now knows what's going on. "I see. Genichirou should be out in a few minutes."
"You know Sanada, too?" Fujikawa asks.
"Yes. I've known him, since he was four," The blue haired guy answers. Fujikawa was surprised, not at the fact that the blue haired guy has known him for a long time, but for the fact that Sanada had the ability to make friends.
"Genichirou and I met in our first years of middle school," The bowl haired guy states. Fujikawa blinks.
"That's exactly when-"
"When Genichirou and you met. I know," The bowl haired guy interrupts. Fujikawa blinks again. "My apologies for interrupting you."
"Nah. It's okay," Fujikawa brushes off.
"How rude of us. We forgot to introduce ourselves," The bowl haired suddenly states. "My name is Yanagi Renji."
"I'm Yukimura Seiichi," Yukimura introduces. Yanagi looked around... For something.
"Anything wrong?" Fujikawa asks. He shook his head.
"Nothing is wrong," He answers unsure of himself. "...Is my data wrong?"
"What?"
"Nothing," Yanagi responds again. Suddenly, Sanada pops out of the locker room. Fujikawa snaps to attention and bows.
"Nice to meet you, friends of Sanada," Fujikawa states, and hurries to Sanada, while Yukimura turns to Yanagi.
"That's Sanada's seatmate right? The one he complains about sometimes?" Yukimura questions. Yanagi nods.
"Indeed," Yanagi looks around once more. "Strange. 98% chance that the other regulars were going to eavesdrop on this conversation."
"They probably are," Yukimura states vaguely as his blue eyes trailed to a bush on the sidelines with the regulars' hairlines sticking (not including Jackal). Yanagi notices this as well, and nods.
"Sanada!" Fujikawa calls out and does a light jog to catch up to Sanada.
"Fujikawa, do you need anything?" He questions, slightly surprised that she was staying here this late.
"Uh. I, uh..." Fujikawa trails off, making Sanada slightly irritated.
"Get to the point already," Sanada commands.
"Do you have the history homework for tomorrow? I kinda dozed off in the middle of class," Fujikawa scratches her head. His eyes narrow.
"We have to take notes about the section of the Meiji Restoration, and answer questions about the section on the next page," He answers. Fujikawa nods. "This is what you get for slacking off, Fujikawa. You never pay attention nor give it your all."
"It's not like that's gonna help me," Fujikawa shrugs, making Sanada even more irritated, the serious look in eyes becoming more serious. "But thanks, Sanada. You're a life saver."
"It was not my problem," Sanada dismisses, pulling his cap lower over his face. Against his better judgement and out of curiosity he questions, "But why were you waiting here so long?"
"To get the history homework," Fujikawa answers simply. He blinks (much to Fujikawa's surprise).
"That's it?" He questions.
"Yep."
"Nothing else?"
"Wow. You sure are talkative."
"Fujikawa!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeesh. No need to shout."
"You could've waited until tomorrow," Sanada states, eyes narrowing suspiciously. "Or not do it all."
"I could've. But then I would've gotten a lecture from the teacher about not doing my homework, and my parents, and you're lectures are the worst of all. I wanted to avoid conflict before it happened," Fujikawa elaborates. Sanada ignores that last part about him. Good. She's making progress. "Anyways, Sanada, I gotta leave before my parents lecture me about getting home late. See you tomorrow!"
Fujikawa starts to run, and Yukimura and Yanagi catch up with Sanada.
"Genichirou, I didn't know you had a girlfriend," Yukimura teases with a small smile, and Sanada's eyes widen, and scoffs.
"As if. Seiichi, you know my studies and tennis come first than anything else," Sanada explains, trying to change the topic. Yanagi was writing something down in his notebook, before closing it, and all three friends walk out of Rikkaidai.
Genichirou and Hairi becoming a couple: 77%
The Regulars meddling in this relationship: 100% (Niou especially)
With these variables mixed the chances go from 97%-100% in the relationship.
"Well, well, well, looks like Sanada-fukubuchou got himself a girlfriend."
"Niou-kun, it's not polite to eavesdrop on a conversation."
"Wow, fukubuchou is so cool!"
"Don't forget, Seaweed Head, that I'm a genius. I can get a girlfriend in a matter of seconds."
"Oi, Marui, don't be so mean. Besides, you go through your girlfriends like you do with candy."
"Ooooo. Sick burn, Jackal!"
"S-shut up! At least I have girlfriends!"
