Y/n's point of view

"Yo, Y/n-chan~."

I groaned and berried my face further into my pillow. After a minute, the door on my room slams open.

"Good morning Y/n-chan~, get up or you'll be late." Onii-san said.

"5 more minutes." I spoke, my face is still berried in my pillow.

"You said that 5 minutes ago, you don't want to keep him waiting, do you?" Onii-san teased.

My eyes open wide and start to gather my clothes and run to the bathroom without a word. After I'm finished getting myself ready in the bathroom, I pick up my bag and run downstairs. I stopped when I saw onii-san trying not to smile and laugh while eating his breakfast. I made my way towards him and slam my bag at him repeatedly.

"How dare you! You said he was waiting! I don't see him anywhere!"

"Y/n, stop that and eat you breakfast." My mom said while placing the food in the table.

"I hate you." I glared at onii-san.

"I love you too." He said ang laugh.

After breakfast, I say my goodbye and made my way to school.

On my way in the entrance, I saw the Judo captain that Haruko-chan talks about. A bike came in contact with his body making him lay down on his stomach.

'Is that Kaede-kun?!'

"Excuse me, make way!" I yelled so that he won't injure others.

'Why would he ride his bike while sleeping?!'

I made my way towards him after I parked my bike. Gladly he stopped.

"Kaede-kun, wake up." I said while shaking his shoulder. "You're in school now."

He opened his eyes. We stared at each other for good 2 minutes.

"Umm... Kaede-kun?" I spoke.

"Oh, hey." He spoke.

I looked at him confused. He parked his bike and made his way inside.

'What just happened? Is he okay?'

I dismissed my thoughts and made my way inside. Class starts.

Practice time.

Ayako-senpai gathered all the players.

"Only the 5 of you are all the freshmen!" Akagi-senpai started. "The Regionals is already near and after that it'll be the state final! We'll have to live with the current line up!"

"There are over 200 high school basketball team in the state!" Ayako-senpai discussed. "With in them there is last year's winner Kainan High. They have been able to get into The Nationals finals for 10 consecutive years! Besides Kainan High, there's also runner up of each year ranked 2nd place's Shoyo High."

"Also, the team that has a genius Sendoh and monster Uozumi, Ryonan High!" I added and rolled my eyes when I said 'a genius Sendoh'. Don't get me wrong, I love my onii-san, who wouldn't?

"Listen up! The team that will defeat all these opponents are-." Akagi-senpai did not finished his sentence.

"Shohoku!" Sakuragi suddenly yell. "We got the super genius Sakuragi and giant monster Gorilla! Shohoku will defiantly win!"

"Who's the giant monster?" Akagi-senpai asked and punched Sakuragi's head.

"Sakuragi Hanamichi." Ayako-senpai called. "Did you get new basketball shoes? Remember to keep up the hard work!"

"HAHA... Does it look good? Ayako-san?" Sakuragi asked while he rub the back of his neck.

"It looks nice... Better than having no shoes at all!" Ayako-senpai answered.

"AAAHHH!" Sakuragi shouted. "Wha-what... What are you doing?! Stepping on my shoes..."

"Newer basketball shoes are often stiffer, and can hurt your ankles easily. If you make them a bit more flexible, then there will be no problem!" Kogure-senpai explained. "It's also comfier when you run! Understand?"

"Is... Is that so?"

"I just purely wanted to step on it!" Kaede-kun bluntly said.

"Gah... Rukawa." Sakuragi exclaimed.

"Everyone, remember! Our final goal is – " Akagi-senpai was cut again.

"National Champion!" Sakuragi yelled.

"That's right... Sakuragi." Akagi-senpai and murmured under his breath. "Stop stealing my lines." Akagi-senpai composed himself. "From today on the practice will be much tougher, I wish all of you will have the strength to endure it all the way! Understood?!"

"Yes!" Everyone shouts.

"Sensei." Akagi called.

"Yesterday's performance was wonderful. I'm sure you're willing to try; you'll be rewarded greatly." Anzai-sensei spoke. "You will become stronger."

The player cheered and gets back to practice.

"Ayako!" Akagi-senpai called and made his way towards us.

"Huh?"

"Will that guy... Be back when The Regional start?" Akagi-senpai asked. I looked at them confused.

"That guy?" Ayako-senpai asked.

"Don't be silly there can't be more than one!?"

"Who is 'that guy'?" I asked.

"I'll leave it to you, Ayako." Akagi-senpai said and left.

I looked at Ayako-senpai confused. She sighed.

"That guy is Miyagi, Miyagi Ryouta."
