LBPG is here again!~
Today our physics teacher demonstrated us how to make soda with some bottle-like soda machine. It wasn´t sealed very well and the whole water sprinkled on me because I was sitting in the first row and the theacher stood before me. -.- Luckily my notes were still readable after they dried. I will NEVER sit in the front row again.
I want to thank RockPrincess410 for her review. Hope I updated fast enough. ^^ Please read!~
Chapter 2: How to introduce yourself
"EEEEHHHH, you're the manager of the tennis club now!"
"Shhh, not so loud, it isn't official yet, I'll be introduced today at the beginning of practice." Rin whispered. "If any of the fan girls find out before, I'll be dead meat."
"But why did you accept? Didn't you say it was a hassle?" Rina asked.
"Well, Oishi-fukubuchou will be tutoring me in math."
"W-What?"
"I just told you to be quiet!"
"Sorry! But what happened yesterday?"
-Flashback ;D-
"So please come tomorrow at three o'clock to the tennis courts, that's when practice starts. Usually we have practice daily except Wednesday and weekends, though it's different before tournaments." Oishi explained to Rin. "You don't have to come every time because you aren't playing, but you should be there at least twice a week as a manager."
"Okay, can you come to my house on Wednesdays for tutoring? It has a lot of space."
"Sure, is alright."
Rin yanked a piece of paper from her notebook and scribbled something on it. "My address, phone number and email, don't lose it." "Thank you, then I'll see you tomorrow." "Yeah, until tomorrow."
-Flashback end-
"And that was it."
"Aww, can we come with you to practice, puh-lease?" "No, Rina.""Why not?" Rina asked with big puppy eyes, pleadingly looking at her.
"You won't come and stop bugging me about it." Rin left the classroom, heading for the courts.
"Aahh, big meanie!" Rina pouted.
"She probably doesn't want us to faint when we meet the regulars. Fuji-san is just so coo.l" Shizuka let out a sigh and smiled at her small friend.
"Yeah, but I'd really wish we were in the same class as her, then I could see Eiji-kun everyday."
"Still half an hour to go. I arrived early." Rin thought as she stood in front of the tennis courts.
Some second years were already practicing, so she decided to watch them play. Just as she stepped into the cage surrounding the courts, a guy came up to her.
"Girls aren't allowed on the boys' courts, you better leave!" Two of his friends nodded in agreement, while the other second years watched them.
"I have some business with Oishi-san, so could you please let me wait for him here?" She said as politely as she could, slowly getting annoyed.
"Tsk, what could a weak girl like you have to talk about with our fukubuchou? I guess you can't even hit a ball right!"
"Then how about a match: If you win, I'll leave." She smirked.
"I won't back of, prepare yourself!" He said in a dramatically tone.
Some students murmured:"That's not a good idea Arai-kun, the regulars will punish you if they find out." But Arai just waved them off, thinking that girl wouldn't be a problem for him. He was soon to be proven wrong. After Rin borrowed a racket from one of the guys, they started playing.
"Amazing, she got a straight win!" "She won 6-0 against Arai-kun, the best non-regular player and she's only a girl!" The boys, who were watching the game, exclaimed surprised at her ability.
Rin pointed at Arai with her borrowed racket. "Think twice about who you're calling weak."
"What is this commotion about!" The regulars and their coach arrived, looking around either interested, bored or worriedly. A second year explained the situation to Oishi, who then told Arai to run 30 laps.
"B-Bu-" "No buts, you shouldn't have insulted her, now go running! And everyone else please gather here, I have something important to tell you." Oishi said in his best imitation of Tezuka's captain voice. When all the members of the club finally calmed down, Oishi started.
"Moriyama Rin-san here..." He laid his hand on her left shoulder. "...will be our club's new manager, please introduce yourself." He smiled at her.
"Hi, I'm Moriyama Rin. Please call me Rin, it's shorter. I look forward to working with you guys." She said with a small smile on her face that said "If you annoy me, you're dead." Everyone shivered and stared at her scared, but then Eiji broke the silence
"Yay, Rin-chan's gonna be our manager!" He hugged her tightly while she froze.
"Nice to meet ya, I'm Momoshiro Takeshi, you can call me Momo!" "Echizen Ryoma, nice to meet you." "I'm Kawamura Takashi, please just call me Taka-san." "My name is Inui Sadaharu; I look forward to collecting your data." His glasses glinted. "I'm Kaido Kaoru." A guy with a bandana said while making snake-like sounds. The rest of the day, Rin spent learning the names of all members, luckily she got a list from Inui when they planned the training menus for the regulars and he explained the duties she had to her. She also helped with practice.
She arrived at home in the late afternoon. "Aah, introductions are always such a hassle." She thought, sighing.
