Y/n's point of view

A loud laughter has filled the gym made by Sakuragi's friends.

'Don't laugh, don't laugh. He's just learning!' I thought while keeping my composure.

"You don't even have the talent!"

"You suck Hanamichi! You can't make even one shot!"

"Shut up!" Sakuragi yelled at them. "All you shitheads go home!"

Every time Kaede-kun shoots the gym is filled by the screams of his fangirls while the gym is filled with laughter by Sakuragi's friends when he shoots.

"What's going on? Sakuragi. You can't even do these commoner's shot, how disappointing!" Akagi-senpai spoke. "Hmm? Don't you think?"

"Oh... Damn..." Sakuragi sighed. "That's strange... How come it won't go in..."

"Hey, Rukawa!" Akagi-senpai called, Kaede-kun turned his attention to him. "Show him once again, will ya?"

The gym is again filled with screams from his fangirls with Haruko-chan.

"Ha... Haruko-san..." Sakuragi said getting anxious. "Damn! I don't want Rukawa to show me anymore! God damn..."

Rukawa is about to start when the ball hit his bottom.

"Ah! Sorry, I slipped!" Sakuragi said while scratching the back of his head.

"Dumbass! He's showing you how to do a layup!" Akagi-senpai.

"I just slipped that's all!" Sakuragi repeated.

Sakuragi stands up and got a ball.

"Okay!" He spoke. "I'll make it this time!"

"Boo! Boo!" His friends said. "Don't miss!"

"Shut up! Don't disturb me!" Sakuragi yelled.

Sakuragi calm himself and started running to the ring to shoot.

The ball hit the bottom of the board and fell on his face.

The gym was filled with laughter.

"How interesting." Kaede-kun said with his signature facepalm.

"You suppose to help him." I said to him.

"Hmm, but he always throws balls at me." He spoke.

I sighed.

Ayako-senpai left by my side and stand in front of Anzai-sensei.

"Sensei." She greeted. "Why don't you give Sakuragi a hint or two."

"HAHA." Anzai-sensei laugh. "Just let Akagi-kun do his work... There won't be any problem."

"So Sakuragi, do you understand now?" Akagi-senpai asked. "This is what happens when you look down on basketball."

"Sakuragi, pay close attention to Rukawa's movement." Kogure-senpai said.

"Hmph! I don't need to see it again!" Sakuragi complained while stuffing his hands inside his shorts.

"Rukawa-kun! Please do it again one more time!" Kogure-senpai asked Kaede-kun.

"Again... Why do I have to do it for that idiot?" Kaede-kun murmured, I place my hand to his shoulder. "Why me?"

Kaede-kun position himself before he can start running a ball hit the back of his head.

"Ah! I slipped again!" Sakuragi exclaimed.

"Kaede-kun!" I yelled; I was about to walk towards him when he raises his hand to stop me.

"Okay! Everything before was just practice!" Sakuragi said while running towards the ring. "Now, it's for real!"

Sakuragi stopped running when a ball hit his left cheek. "Damn!" Sakuragi yelled.

"I slipped!" Kaede-kun said while showing his hand.

Everyone was shocked in what he did.

"Why... You..." Sakuragi said while glaring at Kaede-kun.

"Ah... HAHA! Let's call this fight a draw! Don't fight anymore!" Kogure-senpai said while running toward the two players glaring at each other. "So?! Let's forget it!"

"Sakuragi, relax your shoulder with your height and flexibility... All you need to do is to put the ball into the basket." Akagi-senpai instructed. "Stop showing off! Idiot!"

"Rukawa's Shooting style is worth learning! You must pay attention to other's shooting style!" Kogure-senpai lectured. "Since you don't even want to learn, no wonder Rukawa is angry!"

"Hey, Rukawa... Sorry!" Sakuragi started while looking down. Everyone is shocked. "Show me how to lay up one more time, please!"

"Fine."

'Why do I have a bad feeling about this.' I though while feeling anxious.

"Great! Sakuragi-kun!" Haruko-chan yelled.

Kaede-kun running toward the ring when Sakuragi dumped the basket full of balls in Kaede-kun.

"Ahh! My whole body slipped!" Sakuragi excused. "HAHAHAHA! Stupid Rukawa! Eat this assh*l*! Assh*l*!"

Sakuragi yelled while throwing the balls to Kaede-kun constantly.

Kaede-kun throw the basket at Sakuragi.

"That hurt assh*l*! Rukawa you bastard!" Sakuragi yelled at Kaede-kun.

"Stop fooling around!" Akagi-senpai yelled, then the basket that Kaede-kun throw at Sakuragi got thrown over Akagi-senpai's head making him looks like in a cage.

That day... Sakuragi was not allowed to practice shooting.

Today is Saturday, our date is today.

I am making my way to the park that has a basketball ring. This is where Kaede-kun and I always practice his shots.

I saw someone playing at the court already.

'Huh? It's still early, it's impossible if its Kaede-kun.' I thought.

I got off my bikes and I parked it behind the bushes. I made my way inside and I saw Sakuragi attempting to shoot the ball.

"Damn! I still haven't gotten one shot in..." Sakuragi exclaimed.

His ball made its way to my direction, I caught it with my hand. He looks at me.

"S-S-Sendo-san?!" Sakuragi stuttered as he made his way in front of me. "Wha-what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I was waiting for someone here. Y/n is fine, you don't need to call me by my last name." I said and smiled at him. "I didn't think you would practice early this morning."

"Ah! No! I'm not practicing!" Sakuragi said. "I am a genius I don't need to practice."

"Well, Sakuragi if you don't mind, I can teach you." I said while smiling at him. "If that's okay with you."

"Y/n-san! Thank you!" Sakuragi excitedly said.

"Well then, watch closely." I said and start running to the ring to shoot the ball. It went in successfully. I looked at him with a smile, he looks so shocked.

"Now you try." I said and pass him the ball.

He went running to the ring to shoot the ball but it did not go in.

"UGH! Why can't I do it!" He yelled in frustration.

"Sakuragi, I think you should go higher and put the ball into the basket." I advised.

"Hmm... I can do that." Sakuragi said.

Not so far from here I saw Haruko-chan jogging.

"Well, I should get going." I spoke. "Just try to jump higher and put the ball into the basket."

"I will. Y/n-san!" Sakuragi said. "Thank you!"

I wave at him and go back to where I parked my bike.

'I'll just wait for Kaede-kun here.'

Haruko-chan arrived. I watch her demonstrate to Sakuragi to do layup but she tripped. She tried again and the ball went in.

"Oi, Y/n-chan." I looked over my shoulder.

"Oh, Kaede-kun. Good morning." I greeted with a smile.

"Who's at the court?" Kaede-kun asked.

"Sakuragi and Haruko-chan." I answered. "Haruko-chan is teaching Sakuragi how to lay up."

"Hmm." Kaede-kun hummed.

"Ugh! Okay, Y/n-san said that I should jump higher but I've been doing that and nothing is happening!" Sakuragi yelled.

"Huh? Y/n-chan?" Haruko-chan asked.

"Yeah, she was here." Sakuragi said. "She said she was waiting for someone."

"Oh, what did she also said to you?" Haruko-chan asked.

"Well, she said that I should jump higher and just put the ball into the basket." Sakuragi answered while holding his chin.

Haruko-chan started to think.

"You're a lot early than I anticipated." Kaede-kun said. "You really helped him huh?"

"Yes, I did." I answered. "He really needs to learn how to shoot. I think he has the potential, he's just arrogant."

"Jump higher... Keep the knee flexible... Put the ball into the basket... Okay!" We heard Sakuragi said. "Haruko-san! I am going to start! This time I will succeed!"

"Okay try hard!" Haruko-san said.

"Took them long enough." I stated.

Sakuragi started running to the ring this time he succeeded.

"Bastard... Get out of here if you are finished!" Kaede-kun murmured, I giggled.

"Kaede-kun, let them cheer for a while." I said while I put my hand on his shoulder.

"Tch." He said and rolled his eyes.
