The former regulars of the seigaku tennis team stood in front of the school gate .

"I wonder how is the tennis team doing !" Kawamura stood beside fuji and folded his arms .

"Nya ! I hope Kaidoh and momo is handling the team well !" The energetic kikumaru shouted as he jumped and hugged kawamura .

"What are we standing here for ? Lets go in .." Inui pushed his spectacles up .

"Yeah yeah ! I want to enjoy the festival !" Kikumaru shouted and skipped in the school . The rest smiled at each other and followed behind . As they entered the school , they were greeted by their juniors . Momoshiro , horio , katsuo , katchiro , tomoka and sakuno stood there and waved their hands .

"Oi ! Senpais ! Over here !" Momoshiro shouted . They walked towards momoshiro and the others .

"Saa Momo .. its been a while .." Fuji greeted him .

"Oh Fuji-senpai ! Nice to see you again ! Senpai-tachi too !" Momoshiro replied .

"Its nice to see you again momo !" Kawamura said . The others nodded . Inui looked around .

"I don't see kaidoh.. where is he ?" Inui asked in suspicion .

"Yeah ! We're finally back and he's not here ?" kikumaru pouted . Momoshiro and looked at horio and the others . He kept quiet until horio decided to speak up .

"Erm .. senpais ..actually ..kaidoh-senpai is..."

Back at ryoma …

"How much longer are you going to drag me around ?" I asked takanishi-san . She's been dragging me around the entire school ! I just want to take a nap ! God I am so tired !

"Eh ? I just wanted you to have fun at the festival too you know , do you hate it ..? ." she asked while looking down to the floor .Why is she being depressed ? I...i don't hate it ..

"I don't hate it .. I'm just a little tired ..." Geez , I'm even more tired trying to explain myself all the time !

"Oh I see , Well , Lets take a break over there !" Without saying anything else , she pulled me over to the bench under a tree and pushed me down on the bench . She stood there and smiled at me .

"You're not going to sit down ?" I asked .

"No, I have to go soon . Its going to be my turn to hand out the flyers soon ."

"Hmm.. I see .."

"I'll see you later !" She said and ran off . Idiot .. Can't she let me speak ? And I wanted to hand her something . Geez , she disappear too fast . But , I can't believe i'm actually enjoying myself . It was ….Kinda fun ...Heh.. Ah ! I'm losing my mind ! I leaned forward and scratched my head . What's happening to me ..? No , it can't be ..I can't possibly be ..

"Well well well .. look who we have here .." A voice came from behind . That voice ! I jumped up from my seat and turned around . There , stood the friends that left me , the friends whom I thought believed me , the friends that I trusted , the friends that betrayed me , the friends that left a scar in my heart . I clenched my fist . I'm guessing they're here for the festival . I'm not going associated with them ! I started to walk away until momoshiro-senpai came over and grabbed me by the elbow .

"Echizen ,hey , if you like , why don't you join us for lunch later ? We could catch up on each other " he smiled . What the hells is he doing ?! Join you guys for lunch ? Are you shitting me ?!

"Momo ! Why are you inviting someone like him for lunch ?! Didn't you forget what he did to you two years ago ?!" Kikumaru-senpai shouted .

"Its fine senpai ! I don't hold it in my heart !"

You don't , but I do ! I absolutely despised you ! I shoved his hands away from me and took a step back .

"No Thank you !" I shouted and walked away . What a hypocrite ! Is he trying to be nice in front of everyone . Saying that he don't mind ! He's probably trying to look innocent on front of the others and making me the bad guy ! AH ! Why do I care !? I don't give a damn anymore ! BUMP ! I bumped into someone . Who the hell ?! I looked up .

"E-echizen ! Are you okay ?!" Oishi-senpai stood there . He reached out towards me and helped me up . Kaidoh-senpai walked out from behind Oishi-senpai .

"Oishi-senpai ...kaidoh-senpai ..."

"Is something wrong echizen ? You look distracted ." Oishi-senpai asked with a worried look on his face .

"I'm fine ..."

"You don't look fine at all ! You look pale !"

"If there's something on your mind , you can tell us ..." Kaidoh-senpai said . He placed his hands on my shoulder . I know they're concerned about me . But , I don't want them to worry about me .

"I'm fine … just tired ..."

Oishi-senpai and kaidoh-senpai looked at each other .

"Well if you say so ...I'm going to the tennis court to settle something with the student council president .." kaidoh-senpai said .

"Wait ! Settle something ?! You're not fighting right ?! Its bad to fight kaidoh !" oishi-senpai shouted . Well , here comes the mother hen .

"Oishi-senpai ...i'm not going to fight ...just to do something that's all..." kaidoh-senpai face palmed .

"Eh ? Is that so ? Then i'll come with you , I haven't see the tennis courts in a long time ! Echizen , wanna come ?"

"No..i'm going to get a drink..."

"Okay ! We'll come find you later !" They walked away towards the tennis courts . I sighed and walked towards the vending machine . Sigh , i'm glad that's over . I looked at my watch . Lunch is going to be in two hours .. maybe I should take a nap under a tree after i get a drink. . I'll head to the roof later .. After all.. she's going to be there for lunch ...

"You're late !" She jumped in front of me as I entered the roof .

"Sorry, I was caught up in something ..." I overslept ..Damn .

"Did you just apologized to me ?" She looked at me with her eyes wide open .

"N-no !" Ah ! What the hell am I saying ? All of a sudden she grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the roof . What is going on ? Aren't we going to have lunch ? Where is she taking me ?

"Hey weirdo , where are you taking me ?"

She didn't say anything . Instead , she just kept walking . The both of us walked until we reached a place behind the school . We faced trees and bushes .

"I want to show you something !" She smiled at me and walked into the bushes . I followed her and then a ray of light blinded me for a few seconds . I opened my eyes and my eyes widened as I stood before a beautiful view of a river . Isn't this … the river that was behind the school ?!

"Its pretty right ? I found this when I was taking a break ."

This view ...

"...Yeah..." Its really beautiful . I thought that the view from above was magnificent . But , this is different . I've never seen something so beautiful . Seeing this , makes me forget about my encounter with the others . I feel better already .

"Lets have lunch here !"

"..okay.."

The both of us sat down under a tree and started eating our lunch .

"Hmm .. so you're having octopus weiners and omelet eggs as your side dishes today .." I said while looking at takanishi-san's lunch box .

"You want some ?" she picked up a weiner with her chopsticks .

"No-" she stuffed it in my mouth before I could say anything else .

"Haha , surprised ?"

Surprised ? No ! I'm annoyed ! I grabbed her chopsticks and did the same to her . After she swallowed it , she stared at me .

"Hey what was that for !" she shouted .

"Payback for what you did.." I closed my eyes . Heh , teasing her sure is fun .

"You ! You're going to get it now !" She reached out to me and messed with my hair .

"Hey weirdo stop playing with my hair !"

She stuck her tongue out and laughed .

"No way , this is payback too !"

"Then i'm going to mess your hair up too !"

"I'm not letting you hehe !"

I reached out for the hair but she dodged it . Ah She's going to get it !

Meanwhile...

"Hey guys , i'm going to the back of the school . Its been a long time since i've seen the river." Fuji smiled . Kikumaru jumped up with excitement.

"I want to go too !"

"That's a great idea fuji ! The place is really beautiful ! Why don't all of us go ?" Kawamura asked the others . The rest of the gang looked at each other and nodded in agreement . They started making their way towards the back of the school where the river was . However , little did they know that ryoma and chiyo were there . As they approached the bushes , kikumaru shot momoshiro a question .

"By the way Momo , how far have you gone with saku-chan ?" Kikumaru asked with a evil smile on his face . This made momoshiro and sakuno blushed in embarrassment .

"Wh-what do you mean senpai ?"

"Hehe , you know what I mean ." He walked over and nudged momoshiro in the arm . "Have you guys done that ?"

"What are you saying senpai ! Of course we-"

"Where the hell did you get that photo ?!" A voice cut momoshiro off before he could say anything else . Momoshiro and the others looked at each other .

"Is someone here ?" Tezuka asked .

"No .. i'm pretty sure no one other than us know about this place ..." fuji said .

"But I definitely heard someone !" kawamura nodded .

"I think I heard that voice somewhere before .."Inui stood there and pushed his spectacles up .

"Now that you mentioned it .. It does sound familiar .." momoshiro frowned . Tezuka sighed . He stood forward and pushed the bushes a side .

"Instead of just standing here , why don't we just go and see ?" He walked into the bushes . The others followed behind him . As they reached the end of the bushes , tezuka pushed some leaves aside and took a peek from the side . They stood there as they saw ryoma and chiyo teasing each other .

"I got it from manager ! Hehe ! He took it when you weren't looking !" chiyo smiled while holding on to her mobile phone . Ryoma was trying to grab her phone but she kept dodging his hands . She stood up and ran away from ryoma . Ryoma stood up and chased after her .

"Erase that ridiculous photo !" he shouted .

"No way ! Its not ridiculous at all ! Besides , you look rather cute in the bunny outfit !"

Ryoma twitched . He was literally screaming in his mind .

"Once I get my hands on you , you're dead !"

Tezuka and the others were watching the entire scene . They hid behind a tree and watched everything .

"What's he doing here ?!" Kikumaru asked .

"Who's that girl that's with him ?" Kawamura followed .

"Momo.. do you know ?" Fuji asked as he turn to look at momoshiro. Momoshiro folded his arms and glared at the two that were literally chasing each other . Horio stepped out and cleared his throat .

"She's Takanishi chiyo . She's a popular girl in our class .."

"Why does she want to hang out with a guy like echizen ?! And she's such a cutie too !" Kikumaru shouted .

Ryoma stopped running . He squatted down and panted .

"I give up … *pant* *pant*"

Chiyo walked over and bent down to look at the exhausted ryoma .

"Are you really a tennis player ? You have no stamina at all ."

"Excuse me ?"

"I always thought tennis players- WAH ?!"

Ryoma stood up all of a sudden and grabbed both of her hands . He closed one of his eyes and stuck his tongue out .

"Baka .." he said as he took the phone from her .

"Hey ! That's unfair ! You cheated !" she reached out for her phone but she stepped onto ryoma's shoe lace and lost her balance . She fell towards ryoma and the both of them dropped to the ground . BUMP!

"What are you doing weirdo ?" Ryoma groaned .

"Sorry ." Chiyo said . She raised her head . Their eyes met and they stared at each other .There was a long and awkward silence. They could hear each others heartbeat . Chiyo's face slowly turned red . Out of nowhere , there was a loud beep .

"What was that ?" Chiyo asked .

"Oh , nothing . Just me deleting the photo on your phone .." Ryoma said .

"What ?"

"Anyways .. how long are you going to stay like this ?"

Chiyo's face turned bright red and she jumped up immediately . Ryoma got up and returned the phone back to chiyo .

"Here..Finally that photo is a goner .."

"No its not ."Chiyo smiled .

"What ? Wait ! What do you mean its not a goner ? I deleted it myself !"

"Tee hee , i'm not telling you !" She walked towards the bushed where momoshiro and the others were . They shifted to the sides and hid behind some bushes . They watched as chiyo and ryoma walked pass them .

"What was that all about ?!" Kikumaru jumped out of the bushes once the two of them were no longer around .

"It can't be echizen's girlfriend right ?"

"No she's not his girlfriend . She just hangs around him a lot ..That's all .." Momoshiro explained .

"But … even so .. she looked happy when she's with echizen . And also , echizen was smiling . They looked like they were having fun .." Inui said while scratching his chin .

"Hmm... what do you think tezuka ?" Fuji turned around and looked at tezuka who was reading his book .

"Hmm.."

Momoshiro looked at his watch .

"Senpais , lets head to the tennis court !"

"Why?"

"You'll know it when we get there ."

Back at ryoma ..

What was that just now ? Did I just hear my own heart beating ? And why did I just think that takanishi-san looked cute when she blush ?! Echizen ryoma ! Get a grip on yourself ! You're just tired and shocked from the encounter with them ! That's all ! And she's just a weird girl that's your friend . There's no other meaning to what you're feeling inside ! She's just a friend ! Just a friend !

"Oi ! Echizen !" Oishi-senpai came running to me .

"Oishi-senpai ? What's wrong ?"

"Hi there Oishi-senpai !" Takanishi-san greeted him .

"Oh chiyo , you're here too ! Well come one then !"

"Where to ?" Takanishi-san and I both asked at the same time .

"Just come ! The special event for the school festival is about to start !" With that , he dragged the both of us . When I realized it , we were dragged to the tennis courts . What are we doing here ?! I shot a stare at Oishi-senpai .

"Woah calm down echizen ! I'm not dragging you here to play tennis ! Its just that , the event will be held here and kaidoh is in charge of it so i'm practically alone right now . Won't you stay with me for the event ?"

Sigh .

"Fine...what about you weirdo ?"

"Wait ,i just remembered something ! Sorry oishi-senpai . Maybe i'll join you guys later !" She ran off and waved goodbye . I wonder what kind of event is going to take place . I sighed and took a seat next to oishi-senpai . I saw kaidoh-senpai walking towards us .

"Hey , there's kaidoh-senpai.."

"Oh you're right ! Hey kaidoh !"

Kaidoh-senpai nodded as he walked towards us .

"Oishi senpai .. echizen .. the event is about to start soon ."

"What kind of event is it ?" I asked as people started to crowd the area .

"I can't let you know yet … or else that stupid president will kill me .." He said while glaring at the student council president .

"Hmm..."

The student president took hold of the microphone and cleared his throat .

"Everyone , thank you all for coming to our school festival ! Now , a special event is about to take place right here , right now !"

Many people were cheering and clapping their hands . Some were even whistling . I looked around the court until my eyes met with the former seigaku regulars . All of them looked at me and we shot stares at each other .

"And now , our special event is ….. A tennis match against our very own vice-captain-Momoshiro takeshi from our school tennis team !"

Oishi-senpai and I looked at kaidoh-senpai . This is the special event ? Is the president crazy ?

"Oi , kaidoh .. why is it momo instead of you ? You're the captain right ?" Oishi-senpai asked .

"Its such a bother and I hate to show off ! Beside , that guy likes to show off right ?" Kaidoh-senpai looked at momoshiro-senpai who was already in the tennis court . He was waving his hands around as people cheered .

"So true .." Oishi-senpai and I said together .

Then , another member of the student council walked up to the president holding a box .

"In this box , there are names of our students here and one of them will be selected to challenge momoshiro ! If you are selected and you manages to win the match , there will be a grand prize waiting for you at the end ! And I mean .. really grand !"

"This is a waste of my time , i'm not going to sit here and watch that guy show off ..."

"But this is interesting .."

How so ?

I watched as the school student council president placed his hands in the box . I'm going to leave . They are crazy if they think i'm going to sit here and watch that guy play tennis .

"And the person to play against momoshiro is no other than …. from class 2A..."

I stood up and was about to walk away . Until...

"Echizen Ryoma !"

Cough* Cough* ! WHAT ?!
