Yey, one more chapter today!
I might upload two chapters tomorrow as well, since I don't have anything to do. I pass time by writing. But I don't really want to just write and write, because I'm afraid that I might get bored and stop updating. It has happened before.
Well, even if I get bored, I'll try not to stop. I swear! Pinky promise! ;)

Shinohara Mayumi
[Timeskip – Few Weeks Later]
I walked up the stairs until I reached the top. I opened the door that led out to the rooftop. Guess why I'm here? To bring Aomine to practice of course!
"Aomine-kun! Come on, practice time!" I yelled out from the lower part of the roof. No answer came, as usual. "Aomine-kun! If you don't come Satsuki-chan will be upset! Come on, please!" I said once more, earning an annoyed sigh from the male, who I couldn't yet see since he was on the higher part of the roof.
"Damn, you're annoying! Let me sleep." He said.
I walked up to the ladder and climbed it, stopping when I could finally see his lying body on the solid floor. "You don't sleep at school! You sleep at home." I said and pouted.
He cracked an eye open and stared at me from the corner of his eye. "Fine!" He said and stood up. He walked towards the ladder and stopped.
I gave him a smile and climbed down. When I reached the bottom, I saw Aomine climbing down as well.
"I'll just go and sleep at home." He said when he reached the bottom.
I gave him a scowl. "Baka." I muttered under my breath.
"What was that, Mayumi?!" He said as he turned around to face me.
"Nothing!" I said as I started to walk, or to be precisely, I stomped my way towards the door. "See you tomorrow then." I said, not even turning around as I walked through the door and headed down to the gym.
I opened the doors and saw the team practicing. I made my way towards the bench where Momoi and my uncle sat.
Momoi noticed me approaching them, and turned her head towards me. She looked behind me to expect Aomine to come, but no, he wasn't there. She gave a sigh. "He didn't come, right?" She said and looked down.
"Yeah, sorry!" I said and rubbed the back of my head.
"No need to apologize." She said as she wrote down something on her notepad, probably the update on the team. "I haven't gotten any update from Aomine-kun in a while. Well, I don't think anything has changed anyway."
I sat beside her and checked her notes. Wakamatsu and Sakurai had gotten better since their last update. I turned my head towards the team, who were playing a practice match against each other.
Suddenly Imayoshi turned towards us and started to head towards us. "Isn't Aomine coming again?" He asked as he put a hand on his hip.
"Nope!" I said and gave a nervous smile. "Couldn't get him to come. He went home to sleep." I told him.
"That bastard!" Wakamatsu approached us, from behind Imayoshi.
Momoi had told me why Aomine skipped practices and saw everyone else as weak. I actually felt sorry for him. He wanted to have someone who is on equal grounds with him, someone who would be a challenge for him. But he was just too good.
"Mayumi." My uncle said.
I turned towards him, with a questioning look. "Yeah?"
"I want you to be the vice-coach of the team." He said, his stare still landed on the others who practiced.
"What?" I said, shocked and surprised. "Me as vice-coach?!" I asked a bit loud, which made the others stop their practicing. They turned towards us and listened on in or conversation.
"Yes. I will be leaving town for a while, so I want you to take care of the team." He said as he turned towards me and gave me a smile. "I know you can do it."
"B-But there is a practice match with a high school next week! Do you want me to coach the team during the match?" I asked. I became a little nervous now, and panicked.
"Yes. I leave the team in your hands." He said, before glancing down on his watch. "Oh! I should go and pack. I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon, so you'll be able to see me tonight and in the morning." He said and stood up. "I hope you to listen to what my niece says. Don't let her looks fool you, she is a good basketball player as well." He said as he left the gym.
Everyone stared at the doors, surprised, until they all turned towards me.
"You can play basketball?" Momoi suddenly asked.
I nodded, half nervous, half terrified. What if I make the team worse instead of better? My uncle will hate me! I don't know how to train people. I suck at it!
"Well, come on coach!" Imayoshi said, with a smirk. I just felt like punching that smirk off his face.
"Um… J-Just get back to your practice!" I told them.
"I didn't mean that. Come and show your skills!" He said, with his creepy smirk.
The next day I sat in class as I thought desperately about how I should make the practice today. My hands were holding my head up, as my fingers were tangled up in my hair.
"Yo!" I heard someone say. I looked up and saw Aomine. "What's up with you? You look stressed." He said as he went and sat on his seat behind me.
I slightly turned around to face him. "I don't know what I should make you guys practice." I said and gave a sigh of defeat.
"What? Why are you training us?" He asked, completely confused.
I stared at him a little surprised. "Didn't Satsuki-chan tell you?" I asked.
"Tell me what?" He seemed even more confused now.
"My uncle made me vice-coach. He is out of town for a while so he left the team in my hands." I explained to him.
"What?! You are our new coach?" He asked, surprised, as he was pointing to me.
"What? You don't like it?!" I said a little frustrated. He seemed more surprised than the others had been, like he didn't want me as his coach.
He leaned back in his chair as he glanced out from the window. "I don't really mind, since I'm not really coming to practice." He said, lazily.
I furrowed my brows as I glared at him. Suddenly an idea popped up in my mind. I don't know if I had that much control of the team, but I'm going to try it. "Since I'm the coach…" I said a little mischievously.
Aomine turned his head towards my direction.
"… I'll kick you off the team if you don't come to practice." I said, with a fake innocent smile.
His face became shocked and then he got angry. "What?! You can't do that!" He said as he leaned on the desk.
"I am the coach right now, right?" I said and stuck out my tongue. Of course I would never do such a thing, but I had no other choice right now, right?
After a while later the teacher came in and started class. I could feel Aomine's glare on my back. I kinda felt a dark aura as well, but decided to ignore it. During the whole lesson, Aomine was glaring daggers at me, but I just smiled and listened to the teacher.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Leave a review, please!
