Tennis
A/N: I'm so sorry guys! And I really mean it. The real reason why I put this on hiatus was because I really didn't feel like writing this back then, and I also didn't want you to just wait forever thinking what the hell I'm doing. So I decided to put this on hiatus and give myself a deadline and if I wrote that on the summary then I'll really have to keep that deadline. Of course I also wanted to write the deadline on the summary so that all the readers reading this will have some date to look forward to.
Friday, after school, school building, Len POV
Rin and I were looking for Miku and we knew that she was probably at the student council room or at the restroom so Rin obviously went to check the restroom while I went to check the area around the student council room.
When I came nearer to that empty corridor, I heard soft sobs coming from that place, so I tip-toed and leaned my back against the wall hiding just at the corner there. I bent my head slightly to see Miku crying in Kaito's arms. Better not let Rin see. Len thought and walked away. Of course, I'm going to ask Kaito about it later.
"Len, were they there?" Rin came towards me, I already made some distance from the corridor.
"Nope, they weren't, maybe they went home already." I told her and dragged her out of the school building heading towards our house.
Wednesday, lunch time, at home, Miku POV
Half a week passed and I'm still wondering why I suddenly cried, and in front of Kaito at that. I mean, the last time I ever cried like that was in middle school in first year before our winter camp.
Anyway, at two p.m. I have tennis training with Kaito, only Kaito. Sometimes it creeps me out, but it's been like that for three years already. Even though the normal groups consist of three to four people, me and Kaito are only two in one group, if you even call it a group. And oh yeah, remember the test last week? Well I was second and Kaito way first again.
Mikuo got up from his chair, pushed it back to the table, washed his plate quickly and went minutes later he came down in dis sports clothes ready for tennis at one, and left.
I finished lunch as well, helped my mother clean up lunch and headed for my room. In the one hour I had before going for tennis I started doing my homework if only so that I wouldn't have to do them later.
1:20 p.m., near the bus stop, Kaito POV
I was near the bus stop when my phone vibrated and I checked my messages only to find Len sending me a totally unnecessary reply to my reply to him asking me if I wanted to help him with homework after lunch:
Hey Kaito!
Your going to tennis now? Man, I keep forgetting that. Well then have fun playing tennis with Miku all alone!
-Len
There, that totally unnecessary last sentence. Oh god, I knew for a long time that I needed new friends. I reached the bus stop and saw the bus with Miku inside just arrive as well and so I got in.
"Hey, Miku." I greeted her.
"Hi, Kaito." I sat down next to her.
"I bet after last weeks training was cancelled I can't play anymore." I said.
"Yeah, you say that but in the end you're still going to win against me today." She replied.
"Haha, maybe, but it's not like I always win against you, you know." I told her laughing a bit, she too laughed a bit.
"I guess you're right." She simply said.
We chatted comfortably for the rest of the ride until we reached the tennis club. We got out of the bus and went inside, Miku entered the girls changing room and I entered the boys. There I took out my racket from my bag, took off my outside shoes and put my sport shoes on. I took my bottle of water out as well and left the room.
When we entered the court, Miku and Mikuo hi-fived each other, one going out the other going in. It was a thing they always did when they had tennis after each other. Once, I asked Miku why they always did that and she told me that it was a sign saying whoever was finished with training took over the duty of taking care of the house and their mother, since their mother had a habit of overworking herself until the other was back. They even did that when one finished school earlier than the other. I think it's actually very nice watching those two, because they were so close. I mean Kaiko and me are close as well just not as close as those two. Not to mention that both of them care so much about their mother overworking since their parents divorced.
Anyway we started to play. We practiced our serves first for fifteen minutes and then we really played a game. Miku served first but failed. She derived her second serve and the ball was quite near to the net so I had to run and barely managed to get it over the et. Thanks to that Miku also had to run but only a bit, still giving me enough time to get back to the back and to the centre of the line. She bought the ball over again and I hit the ball but got it to hit the net.
It went on like that and when it was 2-2, we took a short break. At the end of training I barely managed to win 4-3.
We took our things and headed home quickly because we were, at least I was, seating in my sports clothes. We reached the bus stop and went into the bus once it arrived. And it had to be exactly what I didn't want it to be, overcrowded. So Miku somehow got to stand next to the wall of the bus right next to the door and I wanting to stay near her ended up standing in front of her, facing her. When the bus driver started driving people were pushed like mad behind me to make me refrain myself from falling onto Miku by holding myself with my hand onto the wall, my hand also blocking anyone from pushing Miku from the sides or anything. And so we ended up in that awkward position and had an awkward silence the whole ride back.
"'Kay, bye Kaito!" Miku said, making her way out of the bus.
"Yeah, Bye Miku!" I said, as she just managed to get off the bus.
The Bus went further when I felt my phone vibrate because of a new message, that was also unnecessary, but it was from Rin:
Hey Kaito!
How was tennis?
-Rin
There, the way Rin wrote messages. Looks okay on the outside but if you knew what she was implying to, her messages could get quite stupid sometimes. Anyway I replied:
Hey,
Tennis? Tennis was fine but the bus going back was way too crowded to my likings.
-Kaito
I walked into my room as soon as I reached my house and took a shower to cool myself down a bit. Later I put on some new clothes and made my self to the kitchen. There, I opened the fridge, took a bottle of mineral water I placed in there before I left and closed the fridge again. I opened the freezer and took out my favourite, delicious sea salt ice cream, closed the freezer again and headed back up to my room. I placed the water and the ice cream on my table and took out my homework.
After I finished my ice cream and my homework I went back to the kitchen and placed my bowl into the sink. When that was done, I went to the recording room. It was a room that almost every house in Crypton city had, because almost everyone went to the school and sometimes we have to record some song or something as homework.
The room wasn't that fancy. There was a microphone in the centre, a table with a flute and oboe on it, I play the oboe and Kaiko plays the flute,and a small mixer.
I switched the microphone on plugged my music player into the mixer and selected the instrumental version of my favourite song I made and started to sing. I did this kind of thing quite often and I also liked to see how I slowly improved myself.
A/N: I know, this chapter's a bit short. I really hope that I can update faster someday, I bet half of you, if not more, hate me for that already. Don't forget to vote on my poll!
