"Okay class our lesson for today is pure substance…" their sensei started to discuss but Aya was not in the mood to listen to their lesson. It is not because she's some lazy lass but because she just can't help thinking of the guy that she met in the rooftop during their lunch break. Earlier, she was so depressed and cried her heart out on the rooftop and suddenly the guy approached her and told her to just let it out. She herself cannot believe that she actually told her story of heartache to a total stranger. It's weird but she really was relieved after telling him her story.
Oshitari Yuushi was his name. She knew that name. He is a famous guy in her new school. If she was not mistaken the guy courted her sister but she dumped him. She did not have the chance to meet him before although they were playing the same sports.
She smiled to herself. Tomorrow she will see him again in the try-outs. Wait a minute, why does she feel excited? No, you shoved away the thought. She was not excited.
"Fuck. You know what, you're weird," someone whispered.
She turned to her seatmate and new friend Christine. Like her, she was also a transfer student, she's from America but she's pure Japanese. They just met only a week ago but she feels at ease with her. Most of her classmates were aloof with Christine because of the way she looks; her weird fashion sense. Her long bangs almost cover her face, her eyes were full of black eyeliner, and her nails have black nail polish. She even wears a skull pendant. Well, she's kind of weird, she have to admit that but she's really kind despite her frequent cursing. Her friend just got weird fashion sense and foul mouth that's all.
"Why am I weird huh?"
"Shit. Just this morning you were gloomy because of that shitty three month-rule of yours." She pouted at her. Christine continued. "Then now, you are smiling like crazy. What happened to you? Are you cursed or something?
She laughed. "No, I'm not cursed."
"Then what happened to you?" Aya smiled. "And fuck your smiling like crazy again."
She told what happened in the rooftop.
"So that's what happened." Christine nodded continuously. "You seem to like him a lot."
She widened her eyes at her friend. "Christine it's not what you think it is. I'm just fond of him that's all. He helped me feel better."
" I know you like him already," she teased.
"No," she contradicted.
"Yes."
"No!" she almost shouted.
"Girls at the back what are you discussing there," their teacher snapped at them.
All the attention was suddenly at them.
"Nothing sensei!" they said in unison.
"You better listen to my lesson, if you do not want listen you better leave this class now."
"Yes sensei." They both bowed there head.
The next day
After the class ended, Aya went to the tennis courts. She doesn't know why but she felt so excited. This afternoon is the only try-out for the tennis team. She knew that she will be able to be a part of the team. Not that she's boastful but she really got skills and she's a former member of the Rikkai's tennis team, and it's also a plus factor that her sister is the team captain of the Hyoutei girls' tennis club.
As she walks toward the courts where the try-out will take place, she caught a glimpse of a particular guy from the other court; blue-haired guy with glasses. She stopped to confirm if it was really him. It's really him. He was looking her way too and the next moment, he was walking towards her. He was now standing in front of her, towering above her. She's not that tall, everyone knows that but she was not that small either.
"Hi," Oshitari greeted and smiled.
She smiled back. "Hello."
"The try-out will start in a short while. So good luck."
She bowed. "Thank you senpai."
She can sense that every eyes are on them that very moment.
"Bye, see you around," he told her.
"Bye."
She continued walking until she reached court D.
There are a lot of girls who aspires to become one of the members of the tennis club. They were about 40 to 50, she presumed. She looked around she knows no one there. The club member that she knew were the regulars whom she had a chance to play with last year when she was still a member of Rikkai. She was also good friends with her sister's best friends, Hikari-nee-chan and Miyabe-nee-chan. And speaking of which, they were coming over her.
"Aya!" Miyabe gave her a tight bear hug and Hikari kissed her cheeks. The two are really fond of her and she also considers them as sisters.
Her sister Cassie, the team captain, approached her too and kissed her cheeks too.
"Gambatte, Aya-chan! We really wanted you to be a part of this team!" the ever energetic Miyabe told her.
Cassie embraced her shoulders. "Girls I know my sister here will pass the try-outs with flying color, no doubt."
"Yeah, no doubt about that," Hikari agreed.
"Oh we'll leave you for a while; I'll just meet the regular players for some briefing, is that okay?" Cassie told her.
"Yeah, I'll be just fine and it's awkward to talk to you guys before the try-out. It can't be helped if some of here will think that there's favoritism here in the club," she said.
"They wouldn't dare," Hikari said. The three girls walked away and left her.
She can here that the other girls are murmuring something and she can hear them clearly.
"That's Kirihara Aya of Rikkai, right," a girl said.
"What's she doing here?" another one said
"I heard that she just transferred and now she's joining the club," a girl answered.
"But she's from a rival school; they should not let her join the club."
"For sure, Cassie-buchou will let her join, she's her step sister."
"Oh favoritism, eh?"
The girls little chat was cut-off when the regular players arrived.
"I'm the captain of the Hyoutei Girls' tennis team, Minami Cassandra," Cassie started. "I can see that the aspiring members of our club are more than what we expected. We cannot let you all be a member unless you pass this try-out. You must be skilled enough to be one of us," she flipped her hair." The try-out will be just simple; our regular players here will serve ball for you and all you have to do is return it, as easy as that. But only one try will be allowed."
Aya doubt that it will be easy for the other girls. She knew the caliber of the regular players of this club, a player not skilled enough will not be able to return their serve with just one try. But as for her, she knew she can do it, she knew the game play of those girls for she used to play against them. She presumed that more than half will not be able to join the club.
"Okay girls, let's start now. Fall in line!" Cassie ordered.
The aspiring members obeyed the captain's order. There were only two lines. She choose the line where her sister and her friends will not be serving to avoid the 'favoritism' issue. She was at the far end of the line.
As she presumed, many girls were not able to return the serve of the regular players. They serve really fast. Only a few were able to return it and some did it lousily, just because of luck.
Only five more and it's her turn. She can feel that someone was watching her. She turned to her left and she was not mistaken, someone is really watching her; Oshitari-senpai was standing in the opposite court. He smiled at her and he mouthed gambatte.She smiled back and mouthedarigatou.
