Chapter 3: How to flee from fan girls

Rin woke up at 6. School started today at 8 o'clock, so she still had a lot of time. She got out of bed and dressed into a jogging outfit; she somehow had the urge to run just like in the past when she still played tennis. She sighed and shook her head to stop thinking of the accident.
She left the house and after awhile she saw a familiar figure running in front of her. She passed him, seeing Kaido look at her a little bit surprised. They ran side by side, nobody saying anything. After awhile Rin waved goodbye and said: "See you tomorrow." Kaido nodded, also waving.
Back home she entered her bathroom, taking a shower and getting ready for school. After breakfast she left the house twenty minutes before 8, heading straight for school, completely oblivious to the fact that a horrible school day was waiting for her.

Just as she entered her class, Rin noticed that something was off. When she sat down at her table, she knew what it was. Threads were scribbled on the whole desk, all from fan girls of the tennis club. She sighed. This day was starting great.

"This is the last time I say it: I'm not interested in any of these guys!" Rin yelled, while she was cornered by a crowd of fan girls. "Why should we believe you?" "Yeah, you'll probably steal Momo-chan from me!" "Oh no, my Fuji-kun is in danger!" All girls started getting worried, worry turned into anger and soon they directed their anger at Rin again.

"Quit as a manager or something bad will happen to you!"

Rin sighed impatiently, and then she opened a window of the classroom and jumped onto the tree right in front of it. Everyone present stared at her in shock, jaws opened, while she turned around to poke her tongue out at them. She climbed off it and ran away. "Never thought the morning jog could come in handy." She smiled.
Slowly the girls in the classroom got out their frozen state and chased after her, though they went through the door.

Rin stopped running to catch her breath and looked around. She was now behind the school building, where a lot of trees and bushes were growing.

Thinking she lost them, she relaxed herself and lay down on a grass patch. But after some minutes she heard someone yelling: "There she is!" Immediately Rin got up and started running again. Just as she passed a hedge, a hand grabbed her and pulled her into the bushes, while the screaming girls passed by her, not noticing her disappearance.
Turning to see the person who helped her, she found Oishi and looked at him questioningly. "Well, I saw you running from them, so I helped you. They are really persistent, you know. This is kind of like a hideout. I'm the only one who knows about it." He said and smiled at her.

They were sitting on grass, bushes and trees protecting them from unwanted fan girls. They sat in front of each other, no one talking. "About tutoring you, when should I come to your house?"Oishi asked. They arranged the time for Rin's tutor lessons. The school's bell rang and they hurried back to their respective classrooms, during breaks, however, they returned to their hideout, while fan girls out there searched for ther.

"I'd never thought that I'd be fleeing and hiding from fan girls." Rin said, shaking her head, while Oishi just laughed.

Later that day she managed to get safely to the courts without being noticed by one of the fan girls. Thank god there were a lot of trees on the school ground.
"Nee, why're you hiding there, Rin-chan?" Surprised, she let out a yelp, but quickly composed herself when she realized it was just Eiji.
"Because there're girls after me, but I need to get to the courts."
He tilted his head and grinned. "Then I'll help you." Before she could even protest, he grabbed her hand and led her to the tennis court, where the regulars were already standing.
The fan girls backed off as soon as they saw Eiji, admiring him from a distance, while they glared at Rin. "Luckily, looks can't kill, though Eiji´s presence is quite useful. I should go to practice together with him." She thought.

When they reached the courts, Oishi looked at Eiji with a disapproving look. "You´re five minutes late, Eiji." "Ha-ha, sorry." He apologized. Then Oishi announced today´s training menus. After that everyone left and headed to their respective courts.
Practice was quite uneventful, though the practice matches were captivating. Some first years watched with stunned expressions. The regulars were really good, not only their stamina and skills, but also their determination to win while enduring this harsh training. Rin was impressed, it reminded her of herself when she was playing tennis. She would always give it her best and became quite good. She still loved tennis, even if she wasn´t able to play anymore because of the injury. "Don´t think about these depressing thoughts." She told herself and sighed. "Is everything alright, Moriyama-san?" Oishi asked her. He noticed she seemed sad about something. "Uh-huh, yeah." She smiled at him and continued watching.

After practice Momo came up to her. "Rin-senpai, wanna go eat burgers together? It´s Eiji-senpai´s treat." He grinned. "Hey! Whoever said that, Momo?" Eiji´s angry voice was heard. "Sure." Rin nodded. They went to a fast food place together, Rin, Eiji, Momo and Ryoma, while the others headed home. There Rin was shocked to see how many burgers Momo and Ryoma could eat. "Thank you for the meal, senpai." And both of them were gone. Eiji pouted. "I´m never going to eat with them again." Rin grinned at him. "Well, then I´m also off. See you tomorrow." She waved god bye and left.
At home her cat Kuro was waiting for her in front of the entrance. "You´re hungry? I´ll immediately get you something, wait a bit." After feeding the cat, she walked into her room and laid down on her bed. Today was a tiring day.
