"Everything will be alright…"
*inhale
*exhale
*repeat 2x
"Okay I'm going!" she hurriedly turns her back just to run when…
*BUMP
"Awww…" she cried
"A—ano.. sorry, I didn't see you.." she said while holding her back she hit badly
"Ryuzaki?" a voice called she opened her eyes and to her surprise she covered her mouth
"R-ryoma –kun?" the one whom she bumped into was Ryoma
"Are you alright?" he asked with her never changing poker face
"Uhm.. yeah… I just hit my back a little but I can manage.." she said shyly she knows that her cheeks are blushing, she's just lucky that Ryoma is too slow about those kind of things, her buchou told her that Ryoma is a kind of guy who is too slow with girls
"Here..." she looked up and see Ryoma's hand
"Huh?"
"Get up already…" he is not looking at her, so she shyly grab his hand and he helped her stand and he left her without saying a word
She has always adored him since she met him at the train station. She knows that she is too young for such a thing like this, but she remembers what her buchou told her, how she met Tezuka buchou when they were elementary students and how they ended up together.
"Maybe it is just a dream and won't happen" she whispered to herself
"Sakuno!" called by Tomoka "Hurry we'll be late, the match is about to start!" the two freshmen run to the court, there is a match between Yuuki and Fuji the reason why? It's still unknown…
When they reached the court they were amazed by the service of the player on the other court. She throws the ball high and up, her stance is too simple but you can see how she glows "It is really magnificent to see Yuuki-buchou serve." Said Sakuno
"You really adore her, do you Sakuno?" her friend asked her
"Yeah, she really is amazing"
"Fuji-senpai! Don't get beaten!" screamed by Momo
"Sss… will you lower down your voice!?" Kaidoh hissed
"Tss! Can't you see the viper? Fuji –senpai is losing against her!? We can't let it happen!" while shaking Kaidoh's shoulder
"There is 70-85% that this round is in favor of Yamada buchou" said Sunako who just showed up at the side of Momo and Kaidoh that caught their attention, both men stare at her and speak up
"No way! Fuji-senpai will win!" Sunako was surprised to hear them in chorus
"It looks like they are in good terms Sunako" said Nanami to her when she returns to the girl's side
"…"
"Tss.." I know what you are thinking, Sunako… I know that you like him! Make the move and make some chocolates for him this coming Valentine's Day!" she said as she pats the head of her friend whose eyes widened
"y-you know???" she said trembling
"Yeah I know… you're just so unlucky that he is stupid when it comes to some issues like that.." she reply to her
"But… why'd you mention chocolates and valentines?"
"O c'mon girl! It's every girl's dream to make chocolates for the guy they like!"
"But I don't know how to make chocolates…"
"Oh… I see…" she paused and tried to think for something then she snap "Alright leave it all to me!"
...…
"4 – 3! Fuji to serve!" called Inui
"What? Yamada buchou is on the lead!" said the male sophomore
"I can't believe it! The one who can keep up to Fuji – senpai is Tezuka buchou…" said male sophomore 2
"That means Yamada buchou is as strong as Tezuka buchou???" both men stare at each other
"Way to go Yuuki! Beat him up!" screamed by Megumi and Aoi that makes Yuuki look at them
"Hey, this is just a friendly match between me and Syusuke-kun, so why do you guys keep on yelling that?"
"Eh? Hehe just some adrenaline rush, I'm so move with the game" said Aoi
"what will happen if Fuji loses the match?" asked by Megu
"What do you mean?" Yuuki asked as she drinks
"You two don't have any? Oh I know! If Fuji loses he will treat you on a date and if Yuuki loses you will kiss Fuji!" said Megumi in such a meaningful way that makes Yuuki burst what she was drinking and Fuji on the other side blushes
"Who's going on a date and will give a kiss?" it's like a thunder
"There it goes Tezuka buchou appeared, I know he will make us run 10 laps.." whispered by Eiji to Oishi
"Huh?" Megumi was surprised to see Tezuka there's a black aura coming out from him
"I'm asking you Megumi Ohta" Tezuka
"*Gulp* ahm hehehe, we're just kidding around since Yuuki and Fuji are playing. I just ask them what will be the price of the winner in the game.. " Megumi looks at him scared to see the black aura emitting from him Megumi gulps
Yuuki stands and makes a weird gesture while explaining to him "Uh no.. that was Megu's idea she was just joking around, this is just a friendly game with Syusuke-kun…"
But Tezuka's expression doesn't change he seems like he is still angry
"You promised not to mix up tennis with deals again" he said in such a serious tone
"Looks like Tezuka is getting angry" said Oishi who is watching them on the side; he can see the commotion between the two captains
"I think he's serious, he usually makes us run laps the moment he saw us but this time is different" said Inui
"Tezuka" Fuji said almost a whisper he could see the anger from his eyes which is still locked at Yuuki,
"Hey, Mitsu it's not like what you think, we're just having fun here right?" Yuuki look at Fuji signaling to back her up in explaining with Tezuka
"Yes it is Tezuka, we're just having fun, and besides the members were all awed and amazed with Yuuki's good stance during the play."
"Syusuke-kun" Yuuki was surprised to hear Fuji's statement
"Did Fuji-senpai just called her in first name?" said one of the girls
"Eh? I don't know if it's only me but I do heard Tezuka-buchou calling her by first name" said the other
"Is she making relationships with the two?" rumors start at the court seeing the commotion between them, Yuuki tried to find who started those gossip but she failed, the only thing she knew is that it's one of the girls team.
"Alright! Enough guys, let's all clean up and get ready to go home! Thank you for the hard work guys!" Aoi called for their attention and all the other members start to pack up their things
Megumi grab Yuuki's arm and they talk a little far away from Tezuka and Fuji
"Hey, Yuuki, why does Tezuka act so possessive over you? It's just a game?" she said with one arched eyebrow
"Tss.. I'll explain it once the situation has cooled down, Megu, we just need to talk okay? Just keep it all by yourself, can you promise it?" Yuuki pleased
"Okay, sure I will… go now and talk to him…" Megu already have a hint, she finally realized what was Yuuki is asking for her to keep all by herself
Yuuki walks at the park where Tezuka said to meet her, she slowly walks as she sees him sitting at the bench facing the dawn. The sky is dusky with orange and the midnight blue color was about to cover up the heavens…
"Mitsu.." she called "Are you still angry?" As she sat beside him, his arms crossed and his sight locked from the horizon not making any gesture or a nod to answer, she sighed at the thought that he's ignoring her. She felt like she wanted to cry already but she can't let that happen.
"I'm jealous" she looks up at him, he said in such a straight face
"Hey, you know that he's also a friend, don't be and besides you know that he's the one who helped us?" she said tried to comfort him she moved a little closer to him and hold his hand which is still crossed
"I know" he said to her "I just can't help it, I heard some rumors and issues about you and Fuji" he said not making a move to have eye contact with her
"Rumors? Issues? Like what? I never heard one" Yuuki's brows crossed and tried to think of it, she can't imagine such thing that somebody is making rumors about their friendship,
"Hey, Mitsu, tell what you heard so I can explain, are you going to believe them rather than to hear my explanation first?" She knows that anytime her tears will fall, it hurts her that Tezuka is being so cold to her, she's not used to it, he usually makes a sweet gesture but now, it's like he's ignoring her because of the issues he has heard. She was about to give up, she remove her hand from his shoulder and was about to leave, his silence means Yes she thought, he believes the issues when
"Don't!" he pulled her to his body and enclosed her in a tight embrace, "I don't… you don't have to explain yourself" those words make her heart beat fast and the moment she felt his warmth she cried
....
"Are you sure it's gonna work?"
"Yes I know it will"
The students were quite busy for the upcoming Valentines party, it is the first time that Seigaku will hold such a party for Valentines, it is just a small gathering where the students will be allowed to give their presents to the one they love or they admire. It will only run for about an hour or more, depending on how long it will take the students to accomplish their confessions.
The third year classes are busy with the requirements for the upcoming entrance examinations for high school.
"So, what happened that time? Did you get well after?" Fuji asked
"Hmm.. yeah I think so… he doesn't said a word, he just said that I don't need to explain anything" she said while focusing on her paper
"I see… but who would make such issues about us?" he thinks deeply
"I dunno," then she stands
"hey, where are you going?" he asked
"In the powder room, why are you asking?" she said quite sarcastic
"Oh sorry… just be careful" he said, he's not feeling good about it
"Huh?? Uh… okay…" she just nods and makes her way out of the room
"I need to find him" he said to his mind
...….
At the girls powder room
"Jeez… I don't know why, but it's creeping me out…"
"Be careful"
"Be careful"
"Be careful"
She was quite scared at Fuji making such worries, she was about to get out of the cubicle when she heard voices coming in, she doesn't know why but her body stops her and she listened to the voices
"Hahaha, I'm sure she'll be so ashamed after that, he will dislike her for sure!" Girl1
"You're so mean! What did you do?" Girl 2
"Nothing I just make a say so story that she is having some issues about Fuji-sama, and I make sure that Tezuka –sama heard it"
"Oh! You're such a story-teller!" they both burst out on laughter Yuuki who is listening inside clenched her fist when she heard another from the two girls
"She is so annoying, she may be really good at tennis and have done good for the team but I still don't like her"
"Me either, she's taking advantage of her position as the team captain, she's flirting them all"
"yeah indeed I even saw her dating Sanada of Rikkaidai"
"Are you sure? she's a slut"
"Yeah"
*BLAM!*
The door opens and pops out Yuuki
"That's it! So the real face of such rumors and issues are the two of you!?" she said with her hands on her hips. The two girls were surprised and make their way out of the powder room she came after the two and when cornered at the ladder she screamed at them
"WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY FROM ME? IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST ME TALK TO ME! FACE ME! DON'T BE COWARDS!" she's really angry
"No were not scared were just being fair"
"Fair? How fair is stabbing me from my back?" Yuuki arched a brow
"You are? You're using your prestige as a captain to have their attention!"
"While we are here, far away from them just contented watching them afar"
"Don't tell me you guys are their fan girls?" Yuuki asked them
"It doesn't matter" the other girl said
"You said we have to face you right? Then my hands are itching to do this for a long time" then she pushed Yuuki with all her might making her fall down the ground and sprained her right foot
"Ah!" Yuuki cried
"Yeah, you're so helpless now, princess? Want your prince to come around? Sorry but no one will come to save you!" Yuuki tried to stand up but, she closed her eyes when the other girl was about to slap her at the face, she was waiting for the impact but nothing happened, she opened her eyes to see a figure in front of her
The girl is frowning, she can see the face in her face as her wrist was held tight, and an arm grabs her and carry her in a bridal position
"M-mitsu?" she was surprised "But why? And it's Megumi?"
"You bitches go away and never show up your faces again!" Megumi screamed at the two girls, that run like dogs
"Megu," Yuuki called
"Yuuki, I'm sorry I haven't warned you…" she said there's a pain in her eyes
"How do you guys found me" she asked Tezuka who is carrying her like a princess her face is too close to his
"Fuji told us, just in time Ohta heard those girls as she passed the powder room"
"And I saw you came after them that's how Yuuki"
"Oh, I see" she nods
"You sprained your foot" Megumi worried
"I'll be fine don't worry I can still walk you can put me down now" she told Tezuka but instead of putting her down he makes his move to walk
"hey, Mitsu, you can put me down I said"
"No, we're going home" he said firmly
"Hey! Megu, tell him to put me down!"
"hehe, Yuuki, I know now.. don't worry I'll just tell them that you hurried home because of an important call, leave it all to me! Take care of her Tezuka!" she smiled widely and waves from them
"Thanks, and I will." He replied back
"Hey, did you just tell her?"
"No, she knew it by herself"
"Huh? So what are you planning to do?"
"Going home"
