(Updated.)

It's been a month since the picnic and to be honest, time has flown by!

I still haven't given any of the boys an answer, especially Kise-kun.

In fact, I'm just ignoring any big conversation with the boys.

And anyway, the tennis championship is just around the corner and I heard that there's this guy name rioma Echosen or something?

He's a promising high school newcomer. I have made a vow I will beat him.

Well, sorta...I can't exactly play against him in a match...but hey! Doesn't mean I can't give it a go!

I heard he's a naturally skilled player, it's gonna be a tough competition. I also heard he carries his rackets everywhere he goes, weird?

And that he has jet black hair and golden eyes an---

"Tamiko......Tamiko!" It was Kagami. Snapping out of my imaginary realm.

He have history together, it's quite sad really. How is it i'm passing all but one class! HISTORY WHY?!

"Kagami what now!" I puffed.

"We got put together on the project." he declared.

"Wait, what project? I don't remember any project!" I groaned.

"You know the family tree one, where we research each other's family tree's and present it to the class." Kagami explained and I panicked.

"ohhhh thaaattt ooonnnneeeee!" I drawled avoiding eye contact.

"You weren't listening were you?" He smirked knowingly.

"Yes I was!" I gasped

"Well, if you were listening. You would've known that we don't have an assignment together about family trees but World War II. You know what we've been learning about all semester..." He burst into laughter seeing the look on my face.

It was pale, my mouth was gaping and I was sure pissed.

This is why I didn't want to fail my classes I'm stuck with Bakagami, the boy who is in love with me...

Wait, that's not counted as flirting is it?!

I swear as soon as I thought this. Colour came back into my skin and I was going a bright pink.

Lucky, I was sitting at the back of the class and that History is my last lesson for today.

I looked down at my desk and saw the assignment paper. It was true I was partnered with him with the topic World War II.

The bell rang and I felt like the luckiest girl at that moment because I'm pretty sure Kagami was leaning in towards me.

And I was scared he'd hear how loud my heart was beating.

First Ichiro, then midorima, Akashi, Kise and now Kagami.

Just who do I like?

The next day...

After school, I decided to go to the basketball court to practise some more and to clear my head.

When I finally got there. I set my stuff down, texting my parents I'll be home late.

I did two laps around the court. Grabbing my racket and ball, I decided to work on my accuracy. And if there's anything I've learn't control is everything in a game. Control the ball, control the player. And you control everything.

Simple right! Next, is head imagery. This is where you picture a game or some thing to help you predict all possible moves or actions, played by an object or person.

While I was doing so, I heard a whistling sound. Looking around the court, I see a boy swinging a long item between his hands. Ignoring him I continued my actions.

Lastly, I decided to move on to practising my arm rotations.

Once I was finished, I decided to head home. The boy still had not left the exact same spot from before.

Packing up my items, I heard light footsteps getting louder and louder until they came to a halt...right next to me.

I tilted my head and breathed out slowly when I realised it was the boy from the tree.

"Yo.." he hummed quietly.

"Uh...hi?" I spoke clearly confused.

"Did you need something?" I politely ask.

"Well actually yes. Earlier I was just passing by and I couldn't help but stop and watch you." he explained

"Right...and you are?" I ask

"Echizen Ryoma. And you?" He holds his hand out.

"Tamiko Yuri" I take his hand. "So what did you need Ryoma?"

"A game...I wanted to play a game with you" he says bluntly.

"Oh I'm sorry but it's already really late and I have to head home." I say and excuse myself quickly.

Looking back once I take in his features. Jet black hair, golden eyes, short and has a cap on his head, he was carrying a sport bag.

Quickly grabbing my bag and sped walked out of the court, and sprinted home.

I didn't sprint because of the weird boy. But I did for a fact...he is Echizen Ryoma!! The boy I was talking about him yesterday, well before I was interrupted by Kagami.

I can't believe he wanted to play a game with me.

Oh, well it was probably nothing. Hopefully. But he did look quite familiar actually...i just can't put the puzzle pieces together.

The even next day.

After my meeting with Echizen Ryoma, I couldn't help but be bursting with energy.

I went straight to practise my tennis at the usual place, before and after school. But He was there again.

Walking right past him, I get my tennis equipment ready and start warming up lightly.

"Tamiko." Echizen shouted me.

Turning to the voice I stop what in doing. "Yes?"

"Play a game with me." He said

I was about to shake my head, when I thought it would be good practice to beat my opponents.

"Okay, but only this one time." I say.

"Great, it's on."

"Yeah and I'm gonna beat you!" I joke.

"You can try."

"Ohhh bring it."

6/7 hours later.

"Didn't I-i say..I'd on..ly play one...game?" I puffed out, oxygen escaping my lungs.

I take deep breaths to try and catch my breath, as I lay on the floor staring to the deep blue sky.

"You know you should probably get your stamina up if you can't even handle three matches." He jokes in a monotone.

"Well, I usually can but when they are full on, and 1-2 hours each it's hard not to be puffed." I state.

"Don't you play tennis and Basketball?" He asks

"Yeah..how do you know I play basketball?" I say warily

"I know a friend of yours, is all." He simply says and offers his hand to help me up. "So this makes it me 3 and you 0. Didn't you say you were going to beat me?" He smirked.

I pouted and helped myself up. "Hmm, nope wasn't me. Must've been someone else."

"Well that's really funny, they looked AND talked just like you!"

"Well...okay you caught me red-handed!" I yelled.

The rest of the day went on just like this. Just having fun with Ryoma. Little Did I know we become great friends in the future.
