~Chapter One~
Kikumaru Eiji hastily scanned the crowd of students in front of Seishun Gakuen, more commonly known as Seigaku, for his best friend and doubles partner, Oishi Shuichiro. When he found said person, he ran over and jumped on his back.
"Oishi! Guess what?" the redhead said excitably. His maroon curls shook from his constant movement, and his bemused friend cocked his head and said "Hmm…did you get a new kind of toothpaste, Eiji?" "No, no, nothing like that! Mou, you have no imagination. Anyway, Fuji told me that Tezuka told him that Principal Ishikawa told Ryuzaki-sensei that three new students from America were coming to Seigaku, and the best part is, they all play tennis!"
"That's great, Eiji! I hope they join our team!" said Oishi. Eiji was in the middle of agreeing when another boy, Fuji Shuusuke, joined their discussion. He was slender and feminine-looking, with brown hair and a wide smile on his face.
"Oh, Fujiko! I was just telling Oishi the awesome news that you told me!" Eiji said. Fuji looked confused for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.
"Oh, right. But Eiji, you left before I could finish. I was going to say that our new transfer students….are all girls."
"EH?"
Suddenly the bell rang, and realizing that they would be late, Eiji and Fuji made their way to 9th grade class 3-A, while Oishi went to 9th grade class 3-B.
~An hour before ~
Kajimoto Yumiko paced around her room, while her twin sister, Sumiko watched her. It would be their first day at Seishun Gakuen, and she was impatient to leave.
"Yumi, calm down! We still have an hour before school starts. We're not going to be late." the calmer of the two said.
"Well, I still wish Ami wouldn't take so much time getting ready! I want to get there early so I can look for cute bo- I mean…so I can find the tennis courts and my classroom."
Her sister retorted, "If you hadn't spent an hour in the bathroom fixing your hair, this wouldn't have happened anyway! Besides, you know we have to focus on getting to our goals right? Work first, then dates. "
""Wakatteru, wakatteru yo. Become top two on Seigaku's female tennis team and Japan's number one doubles pair! But, Sumi, we can still have fun on the way." Yumiko said.
"All right. But I have to go with you. And let's only go after our lunch break. That's when the boy's tennis team practices today anyway." said Sumiko.
"Che. I wish we were in the same class…What if there isn't any nice people in class 3-A? I bet you'll have tons of friends in 3-B." Yumiko pouted. Sumiko was about to reply when the door to the adjacent room opened and Kajimoto Amiko came out. Like her sisters, she had jet black hair and pale skin, but she had two short pigtails, while her eldest sister, Sumiko had long straight hair, and her other sister, Yumiko, had shoulder length hair.
"Onee-san tachi, can we go now? I want to meet my teacher, and my classmates, and oh, I'm soo excited! I'm sure class 2-B will be great!" Amiko said, and without another word, she ran down the stairs. He sisters sighed and followed her.
