Saturday evening Sanada realized that Shishido was in his choir class. He never noticed him before, because Sanada always stood in the back row and Shishido on the front row. After class was over, Sanada dutifully went to confront Shishido about the tennis club.
"Shishido!" Sanada bellowed
Shishido flinched at the familiar voice and hesitantly turned around. The voice belonged to none other than the stoic Sanada, former Rikkai-dai vice-captain.
"I was instructed to bring you to the tennis club meeting immediately after choir practice. It is held in the Kahlo commons." Sanada was very to the point and didn't ask any questions about why Shishido was there or how he didn't expect to see him in choir club. Shishido was grateful for this.
"Now? I kind of have somewhere else to be." Shishido lied. Shishido had seen the poster advertisements for the tennis club. A tennis team using pretty calligraphy poems with little flower drawings to try and attract new members seemed pretty lame.
"Tarundoru! This is not optional! You are our doubles 1. It is important for you to be there." With that Sanada walked off, glancing back, obviously expecting Shishido to follow him.
Since Shishido didn't actually have any real plans he decided to follow Sanada to the tennis meeting, somewhat intrigued.
"Sanada, you said I would play doubles 1? Who is my partner?"
"To be decided." Sanada said shortly.

At the meeting, Shishido was surprised that the 'tennis team' only consisted of 4 people, including himself. What's more, they were all first years. Well, extremely talented first years, but first years nonetheless.
After only just arriving Shishido got up from their shared booth, exclaiming, "This is lame." and attempted to walk out the door.
"Wait, Shishido." Fuji's cold voice made Shishido reluctantly turn around. "We still have some things to discuss with you."
"Yes, Shishido, why exactly are you at Tokyo University for the Fine Arts? This is an auditioned school, I didn't know you were so talented." Yukimura cut in.
"That is…" Shishido muttered.
"Something to do with Ootori?" Fuji finished. Smirking his evil little smirk. "Now, now following around a boy is one of the worst reasons to choose a school. It is especially true when said boy has not even graduated from high school yet."
"It's not like that!" Shishido flushed. Why did everyone always think he and Choutarou were more than friends?
"When we were in high school together Choutarou helped me realize my passion for singing. That's all. We're JUST FRIENDS" Shishido explained, annoyed.
What Shishido failed to say is that he only got into Tokyo University of Fine Arts after he and Choutarou practiced together for hours and hours on end. Choutarou had made him record and re-record his audition tape several times until it was good enough to send in, and even then he was only wait-listed. Unlike the talented Fuji, Yukimura, and Sanada who were all probably attending the school on nice scholarships, Shishido barely got in and was paying for his education with mommy and daddy's money. But he got in, and he would go to school with Choutarou next year.
And that's all that really matters in the long run.
"Anyways, back to important things. We still need a second person for doubles 1 and a doubles 2 team. Shishido, do you have any friends that play tennis here?" Yukimura was eager to complete his team in time to register as an official team for upcoming tournaments.
"Uh no, but when Choutarou comes next year—" Shishido started.
"So you are waiting for him here." Fuji snickered.
"Next year?! I will not wait one year to play on the tennis team!" Yukimura snarled, glaring vehemently at Shishido.
"Saaa….I do have one idea…but I'm not sure it's entirely legal." Fuji smiled cunningly.

Unbeknownst to the 4 teammates, a young man with dark violet hair and a flashy purple jacket was watching them inconspicuously from behind a large pillar.
fufufu, how's your tennis team going, Fuji Shyusuke? Only 4 members? You're going to be practically begging me to join that little team of yours before long. Just you wait.
