Chapter 25: Hang Out

=Rainbow Academy: Indoor Court=

/Sunny's POV/

"Seriously, Tai-kun, aren't you getting tired from playing basketball every day?" I asked loud enough for him to hear as I was in the bench, reading a book, the same one I was reading when I got hit by the ball

"Not really, it's my most favorite thing to do, Sunny, you know that" Tai-kun answered, shooting the ball again to the ring

"It's like when you are reading your favorite book, you know" Tai-kun added as I just sighed

"As long as you are motivated from doing something you love, you'll never get tired from doing so because it's what makes you happy" I softly read from the book

"And I'm guessing it applies to Tai-kun and all the basketball players when it comes to the sport they dearly love and the gifted, specials and I when it comes to learning in Rainbow Academy" I thought with a small smile

"Hey, Sunny, what are you smiling about? Are you planning something behind my back?" Tai-kun asked as he momentarily stopped from playing

"It's nothing important, Taiga, don't bother" I assured

"Just something I read from the book that made me realize what you meant" I added

"Really, what is it?" Tai-kun asked as he made his way over to where I sat

"Why don't you read it for yourself then" I said, tossing the book to him which he easily caught

I stood up, taking the towel and water bottle with me. Opening the cap, I gave it for him to drink while I started drying his hair softly

"Seriously, you should read books from our library sometimes, Tai-kun, and not just play every day. Your body needs a break too, especially once you come back to Seirin High after your month-long stay here ends" I softly scolded

"You won't be able to rest as much once you get back to your school because you'll have to catch up on both your studies and basketball practices you missed" I added

"Maybe we should make a study session at least twice or thrice a week, how does that sound, Tai-kun?" I asked, looking over at him

"Tai-kun?" I called

"Did he fell asleep while sitting up?!" I thought, walking over to his front

"He did!" I shouted in my mind

"And yet, he refuses to rest for a day from playing basketball" I mumbled, letting a soft sigh escape my lips

"Maybe I could use a potion to teleport us to my dorm room because I won't be able to carry him from here to there alone" I thought, laying his head down softly on the bench before looking through my shoulder bag for a potion

"Bingo" I cheered quietly, gathering the water bottle and towel and putting it on my bag before placing Tai-kun's head on my lap and splashing the potion on both of us

As the mist clears, we were already in my bed, well more like Tai-kun is on the bed while I'm just sitting on it

I carefully fixed his position on the bed as I stood up and took the towel and water bottle out my bag and placed it on my bedside table instead before hanging the bag behind my door

"Rest well, Tai-kun" I whispered softly
