By 1:00 AM, they had all fallen asleep. Sayomi had soon been awakened by her vibrating cellphone.
"Hello?"
"Sayomi-chan! How come you answer your phone in English?"
"Eh? Eiji-senpai? What are you doing calling at this hour?"
Hearing Sayomi's phone conversation woke Leah, who in turn woke Tiffany, Kome, and Ryoma to translate for them. He didnt really want to, but having nothing better to do at one in the morning, he decided to anyways.
"What do you mean 'at this hour'? It's 2 PM! Did you just wake up? Because I'd never expect you to be the type to sleep in late."
"How did you even get my number?"
"...That's not important."
"So why'd you
call?"
"Wanna hang out today?"
"See, I would, except I kinda can't."
"Oh, okay. Tomorrow then?"
"Sorry, no."
"Any days you can come hang out with me?"
"Not this spring break, no."
"Aww, why not?"
"Because I'm not
really home this week."
"Where are you then? A
relative's?"
"You could say that."
"Where's this relative live?"
By now, Leah and Tiffany had been quietly been asking questions about the call.
"Who's that?"
"Is
it a boy?"
"Is he cute?"
"What're you talking about?"
"Shhhh!"
She waved her hand frantically at them in attempts to keep them quiet.
"I don't know if you'd want to come visit me, it's pretty out of the way..."
"Nowhere's too out of
the way if I'm gonna visit you!"
"That's sweet, but it's
really out of the
way."
"How out of the way?"
"The other side of the world out of the way..."
"What?! Where are you anyway?!"
"Canada..."
"You went back?! You just left without even telling me?! I can't believe you'd do that to me!"
"No, no, it's not like that! I'm only here for spring break, I'm going back to Japan after this week."
"Oh. Okay! But
what'll I do for the rest of the week?"
"I dunno, hang
out with the people in your class that are your own age that have
known you longer than I have?"
"I should come to Canada to come visit you!"
"What? That's not what I said!"
"Don't you worry
about a thing. The regulars will be in Canada before you know
it!"
"How will you know where to go?"
"I just will. How isn't important."
"Creepy but okay..."
"So like I said, the regulars are gonna be in Canada before you know it!"
She hung up the phone and put it in her pocket.
"The regulars are coming to Canada...that's gonna totally change our spring break."
"Ah shit, more people..." he muttered under his breath.
"Regulars?"
"On the tennis
team."
"Are they cute?!"
"Leah!"
"Sorry,
it's like a reflex!"
"Well anyway, it's 1 in the morning, I'm going to bed."
"Yeah, me too."
"Same
here."
"I will too."
"Then I guess I will too."
Later, when everyone was awake, they decided not to head to the tennis courts, as they would be full of people practicing for the day's tournament. Instead, they had used the court in Sayomi's backyard.
"You don't need to practice, Sayomi. You're probably going to win!"
"Guess I'll just go inside and hang out for a while. When does the tournament start anyway?"
"4:30."
"Well, I've got seven and a half hours to...do something."
"Why don't you go freak out the hopeful guys by walking around town with your hot friend there?"
"My name's Ryoma."
"I
guess that sounds like fun. Wanna go, Ryoma?"
"Not like I've got
anything better to do."
"I'm gonna stay here and watch
Leah and Tiffany."
