Public courts

"Oi! Have you heard! Echizen was returning!"
Atobe nodded slowly, not revealing his true feelings towards this piece of news. This was a surprise to him, Echizen coming home?
"Hai, demo, I'm surprised he actually made it! There was a massive shooting at the airport... They were after Echizen, no doubt about it"
Ooishi started, he'd seen the news like most of them, but those who hadn't where terrified for the young tennis player and expressed their shock pretty efficiently by looking like a brick wall hit them all.
"WOOOOEEEEE!"
Kikumaru jumped Ooishi while crying like a baby, the others had dread in their eyes. Atobe Starred at the ground, not even wanting to make himself noticed by the others, but sat down on the bench. The two pairs on one of the courts also stood in their place for a moment before someone cleared his throat.
"Well, he's still alive and there's nothing we can do anyway."
The voice was feminine, it was a boy though, Fuji Syuusuke. He seemed to try to cheer himself and the others a bit up.
"let's just hope for the best!"
After the graduation of the seniors, they still found the time to have fun with the younger students from their old middle schools and the x-seniors now attended the same high school as freshmen quite the coincidence really, but they only just found out when they dumbfounded starred at the others from their old rivaling schools at the introduction day 14 days earlier.
"well, it's about time to part for me"
Sanada said and started to pack up. He knew what had happened to Ryoma and he felt truly sorry for the poor boy, though he didn't say. No one expressed it, apart from Kikumaru who whined, Yukimura who openly looked sad about Ryomas fait, and Momoshiro who couldn't get his mind straight. The others hid their sadness behind cheerful masks, somehow hoping that they could make the others happy, or as in Sanadas and Tezukas situation, never changed facial expression at anything.
They started to part ways, but a few stayed a little longer: Tezuka, Fuji, Yukimura, Kabaji, Atobe, Momoshiro and Jirou (the latter was sleeping, the main reason he was still there)

At Souyan High school

Originally he was suppose to take up sophomore year at Seishun Gakuen again, but was transferred directly to freshman year in high school due to his outstanding mind. There was a certain reason to why he was bored in class all the time in middle school; he was way ahead of everyone.
Ryoma walked around at the huge place trying to find his way through the corridors with a slightly snickering guy behind him.
The guy was tall and strong, Ryoma liked to call him King Kong, though the man far from deserved to be called a gorilla. He was beautiful; Tall and muscular, pitch black long hair gathered in a low ponytail behind him, vibrant green eyes and a harmonious face with manly features. Ryoma didn't care, to him he was King Kong and Morgan (the handsome man behind Ryoma) Interpreted it as him being the huge gorilla saving the little Ryoma and trying to keep him safe, as in the movie itself. Ryoma on the other hand, had no such reason, he just called Morgan for King Kong because he never really got to remember his name and used it as a call-name. (Is there such a word? O.o)
"Instead of having the time of you life back there, could you be helpful for once and get me to my classroom?"
Ryoma deadpanned pouting over his shoulder at Morgan who nodded, trying to compose his stoic expression again. Normally clients wouldn't get his facial expression to change, but this kid were special. People changed around him, weather they wanted or not.
"Hai, Echizen-sama. This way"
He lead the way to class 1-A and took his stance right behind Ryoma. Ryoma knocked on the door, thereafter all noise silenced immediately and the teacher opend the door to peek out.
"Oh! It's you! Wait a second and I'll introduc…e you. She looked up at Morgan behind Ryoma, clearly questioning the man.
"I'm here for his protection, Pleased to meet you"
Morgan said in a low voice with his cold face back to normal again, scanning the surroundings. The Teacher just nodded and turned towards the class, which still were hidden from Ryomas eyes. He felt butterflies tumbling around in his belly again though he did not show in any way.
"We have our new student joining us today! Please come in and introduce yourselves"
She smiled nicely at them and went back to her desk while Ryoma walked in, a neutrally bored look in his eyes as he looked over the class without seeing them at all.
"Yoroshiku, I'm Echizen Ryoma."
Morgan looked at Ryoma and deadpanned inwardly but didn't oppose the very brief introduction.
"Yoroshiku, I'm Morgan Logan, but just ignore me, I have nothing to do with your schoolday"
The teacher cleared her throat.
"Okay class, take good care of Echizen-kun, And Echizen-kun, you can take the seat beside Fuji-kun, nee?"
The teacher smiled to him in an encouraging way to let him feel welcome
Ryoma ignored the teacher but looked up again when Fuji was mentioned and took a look at the class to see who actually where there. He knew quite a few; Fuji, Atobe, Tezuka, Sanada, Yukimura, Jirou, Inui and Yanagi. All of them had looked shocked since he entered, but now Ryoma mirrored this utterly surprised look before hesitantly walking to the empty desk beside Fuji and composing himself once more.
The people he knew still looked at him with curiosity (Not Tezuka and Sanada of course, they just looked at him like they looked at everything: Stoically) the rest either looked in awe over this young boy or squealed softly because he was cute; He hadn't grown that much, he was just 159 cm. His hair a little longer than before but just as messy as before, his eyes still golden and cat-like but his features had smoothened a little out (and enhanced his feminine look) and his skin had taken a healthy peachy pale, whereas before he was just pale and his lips had turned a healthy pink.
He looked up at the blackboard while Morgan took a stand at the back of the class with his eyes scanning the room and outside the windows.
"Yukimura-kun, please show Echizen-kun around in the lunch-break"
Both nodded and she continued the lesson. French. Ryoma cocked an eyebrow and knew he could take it easy now.
"Since Ryoma don't have a book yet, you can look with Fuji-kun, ne?"
She smiled again and gestured towards Fuji. Ryoma sighed inwardly and Fuji pushed the book towards him so he could look in it too. Ryoma had no idea how to act towards the older boy anymore. It didn't feel like months since last they met, more like years.
"Arigatou, Fuji-senpai… "
He looked up and blinked while Fuji chuckled at this and Ryoma sighed and send Fuji a softly annoyed look.
He corrected himself in his mind but said nothing and returned to the book.
"I guess you've become too accustomed to calling me that, nee Echizen-kun?"
Ryoma didn't answer to that either, just tapped in the book with a slight blush to Fuji's amusement.
"Atobe-kun could you please read aloud from page 12, line 19?"

Ryoma sighed as he followed Yukimura around the school. Morgan of course followed right behind him.
Yukimura looked at Ryoma.
"How come you skipped the last two years in Seishun Gakuen?"
He asked kindly and smiled a pleasant smile to the boy.
"Betsuni…"
Ryoma muttered and yukimura sweat dropped but still smiled sweetly.
"it must have been something, High School is a pretty big step"
Ryoma were either to daft or just ignored the compliment.
"My brothers idea"
He simply said and stopped when Yukimura did.
"Well, last place for you to see, the canteen area!"
Yukimura opened the doors to the canteen where everyone was at the moment. A wall of noises hit him, people were talking and laughing during their lunch. This kind of relaxed Ryoma little, this felt better than the constant silence people met him with or their constant brown nosing.
"ne, come Echizen-kun, join us"
Yukimura took the initiative this time and placed a hand on his back, gently pushing him to the tabled with all the regular faces from senior year last time he were in Japan.
He waited till Yukimura had taken a seat before placing himself between him and Tezuka. He didn't know why he didn't know what to do right now. He just greeted them while Morgan stood right behind him. He would never feel normal again. Not with everyone this silent, starring at the guy behind him.
"Hoi hoi hooooi Ochibiii!"
Someone suddenly glomped Ryoma and even though he sweared and che'ed at Kikumaru Eiji he was smiling inside, because right after that talking broke out at the table. Ooishi tried to talk Kikumaru down from Ryoma who was suffocating in his tight grip., Inui started scribbling in his notebook again. Yukimura and Fuji chuckled at the sight and everyone else enjoyed the sight of Ryoma reacting normally.
While they ate, Morgan couldn't oversee Ryomas slight blush while he sat there. It wasn't because they all ignored him or anything, but his golden eyes kept seeking another's gaze, much to Atobe's displeasure it wasn't him.
Blue eyes caught golden and Ryoma flushed completely and felt a weird fluttering feeling in his stomach. This was new! He never felt this way, he never blushed like that! What was happening! He looked surprised into the blue eyes until a voice brought him back.
"Daijoubu, Echizen?"
His eyes turned to purple eyes, Momoshiro.
"h-hai.. i.. better go.."
He got up, trying the best to get rid of the blush while walking out of the room without anyone noticing, that was harder than it seemed.

Ryoma nearly kicked the door open to the toilets and rushed in, locking the door behind him. He was happy it was a closed off booth and not the ones where there was opened at the floor and ceiling.
*Che! Now you've done it, what mustn't they think about you now? You blushed! He saw you!"
Ryoma slid down the wall and sat looking terrified at the toilet. He had felt really weird! And looking at his blue eyes made him want to… to do something, but was unsure of what. He shuddered at the memory of his fluttering and warm feeling together with the utter confusion. He sighed in defeat and tried to get his blush away. A slight knock on the door brought him back to reality.
"Daijoubu, Echizen-sama?"
It was Morgan.
"Hai~"
He muttered and hid his face in his hands. The next lesson was about to start, he had to get back to class.

Ohhhhh, who could the guy be? *winks at Ryoma*
Ryoma: *sigh* yeah, I'd like to know too
Oh well, stay in tune to see who Ryoma has fallen for =D
Momo: whoooo~ I wanna know so I can tease him!
Not telling! =3
Fuji: well, I'm blue eyed.. Yukimura is blue eyed and Eiji is…
In other words! A lot of you guys are blue eyed =P cuz there're more than just you 3 ^^ Well please tell me who YOU think he's in love with! Poor Ryoma, he dosen't even know! =D
