(Today was the day for the participants joining the competition,to stay longer at school for the practice. Kou and Yuki were assigned to check all the activities that were being run)
Whew! That's every club on the list. All of them practiced hard. I see that they really want to win the competition. Hmm....at last,we don't have to go around and check the clubs anymore. Kou:That's all of them. Let's go to our own clubs. Yuki:Yeah. Kou:See you later. Yuki:See ya. (The both of them parted ways and went to their own clubs,Kou,tennis club and Yuki,the track and field)
Why do I feel sad? Is it because... Prriiittt...(The sound of the whistle being blown) Yuki:Alright everyone,take your break now. After that you may go home. (She said in a loud voice. Practice was over for the day,so everyone went home after that)
Ahhh....so tired. I didn't know being the assistant is kinda tiring. I'm not even the head but it is tiring. I wonder how Kou-senpai managed it. (Not long after that,Yuki fell asleep)
Kou:Yuki! (Yuki heard someone called her. She turned around to see who it was) Yuki:Senpai! What is it? (She approaches Kou who was carrying a stack of files) Kou:Here. (Yuki took the files that were handed to her) Yuki:Woah. What are these for? Kou:It needs to be checked. We have to arrange the papers in the files and throw the unnecessary ones. Yuki:All of these? Kou:Yeah. I know it's a lot but we have to. Sensei told me that both of us have to do this since it's our job. (Yuki pouts her lips) Yuki:Okay...Let's get it done. (Yuki walks ahead of Kou. He thought:She looks cute if she does that. He looked at Yuki who was in front of him with a smile. Of course she doesn't know about it)
-Yuki's home- Shouko:Onee-san! Yuki:What is it? Shouko:Let's go to the park. (Yuki looks at the clock hanging on the living room wall. Good thing she doesn't have any work to do that evening) Yuki:Okay. Let's go. (The both of them walked to the park which is just a few houses away) [Yuki's house is very convenient. The places she always go to are near from her house]
Shouko:I'll be playing over there. See ya! Yuki:Yeah. Be careful. Shouko:Okay! (Her little sister went to play with her friends. Yuki was looking after her sister when someone came to talk to her) Hi. (Yuki turned around to see who it was. That person was smiling at her) Hi Yuki. Yuki:Ah...hi senpai. (She puts a small smile on her face and watches her sister playing. Kou looks at the direction where Yuki is looking) Kou thought:Could that be her sister? I think I should ask. Since I want to know more about... Kou:Yuki,is she your *imoto?[younger sister] Yuki:Yup. I have to look after her. She wanted me to come with her here the other day. I'm free today anyway. Kou:I see. (Kou smiles) Kou:She's cute. But you're cuter. (Yuki was surprised by his words and started to blush eventually. She looked away from his gaze) What does he mean by that?! And why is my heart beating fast again?
Kou:Ugh...why did I say that? *Baka. [Idiot] Umm...it..slipped out of my mouth. (He also blushed a little bit after he realised what he just said) Yuki:Okay...err...(From afar,Shouko saw them talking) Shouko:Onee-san! (She approaches the both of them. Good thing she was there to break the awkwardness between Kou and Yuki) Yuki:Yes Shouko? What is it? Shouko:Who is he? Is he your boyfriend? (Kou and Yuki looked at each other) Yuki:N-no! It's not like that. Right? (Yuki wanted Kou to back her up but,Kou just stayed silent) Hm? What's wrong,senpai? (At last,Kou spoke. But with a look on his face that is disappointed)
Kou:Yeah. That's right. We're just friends. Not more than that. Why...why does my heart hurts. It's as if ...I don't want him to say that. Kou:Right,Yuki? Yuki:Y-yeah... (She makes a fake smile) Shouko:I thought he was your boyfriend. Okay then. Let's go home,Onee-san. Yuki:Let's get going then. Shouko:Goodbye,
*Onii-san![big brother] Yuki:Bye, senpai. See you tomorrow. Kou:See ya. (Kou waves goodbye to Yuki and Shouko)
-At home- Why did senpai show that kind of face just now? Could it be that...no way. That's impossible. He couldn't had hoped that I would say he's my boyfriend,right? This is frustrating...!! (Yuki felt her heart aching just thinking about it. She doesn't know what is the reason for her heart to ache like that)
-At school- (It's almost the day of the competition. The sports department members and some sports students are busy preparing and are doing some decorating at the places where the events are going to take place and also on the food stalls. Some of them are also training) Yuki:Fuhh....it's the day after tomorrow,huh? Today's the last day for training. Everyone! When you're done,get a 30 minute break. Then after that,you may go for your training. Understand? Students:Yes!! (Yuki goes away and starts her training. Without realising,someone was watching her practice. Do you know who it is? Guess who. If you guessed Kou,then you're..... correct. He smiled as he watches Yuki practice. Kou:That's just like you. You're tired from just now but you still keep on training. (After watching her pratice for a while,he goes away to practice. He didn't want to disturb Yuki who is traning)
(After Yuki has done her training,she decided to look around the school and watch the students who are training. As she was walking around,one of them,or rather two of them caught Yuki's eyes. It was Kou and his friend,Tomoe at the tennis court. It wasn't Tomoe that caught her eyes but Kou,who still looked cool even when he is sweating heavily) He's really good in playing tennis. No wonder he was chosen as the head of the sports department. (Yuki continued to watch Kou play tennis) *swoosh* Woww...what a fast hit. Tomoe missed. Even Tomoe,who is also an excellent tennis player missed that shot. (Out of the blue,Kou and Tomoe stopped playing and are looking at the place where Yuki is standing) Hm? Why'd they stop? (Kou's lips drew a smile and he opened his mouth to say something) Kou:Hi Yuki! Eh? How did he know I was here? I should say say hi too. Yuki:H-hi senpai! Why did you stop? Tomoe:We heard you said the word "Wow". That's why. Oops...I didn't realise that. Yuki:Hehe.... (She smiles awkwardly) ^^' Kou:She is so innocent. (Kou wanted to laugh but he kept his laughter in) Kou:Yuki,why don't you come down here? Yuki:O-okay. (She gets down and went to them)
Kou:You're done with your training? Yuki:Yup. I was just checking around to see the other students practicing. I saw you guys were practicing so I...errr...went...to see...(Kou and Tomoe bursts to laughter. Yuki stood there,dumbfounded) Yuki:What is it? Tomoe:You're funny,you know that? Look at your face expression now. It's even funny than just now! Hahaha...! Funny? (Yuki looked at Kou who was laughing hard) Wah...look at that. He still looks charming even when he laughs like that.
Yuki:C'mon...stop laughing already! (Yuki pouts her lips) Kou:She's doing that again. She's angry isn't she? Kou:Okay. Sorry. Well stop now. (Kou turns around to Tomoe who was still laughing) Kou:Oy,Tomoe! Tomoe:Whaat?? Kou whispered:Stop laughing. Tomoe:Haha... okay. Sorry,junior. Yuki:Hmph! Tomoe:Sorry okay? Yuki:Yeah...sure. Tomoe:By the way,what's your name? Yuki:It's Yuki. Tomoe:I see. (Kou,who is just watching the both of them talking,disliked it)
(Yuki looks at her watch) Yuki:Senpai,I have to go home now. Or else my mom's going to get mad at me. Kou:Okay. See you on the day after tomorrow. Good luck. Tomoe:Bye,Yuki. Yuki:Bye! *Ganbatte-ne! [good luck] (She ran off) Tomoe:You know,I think I like her. I want to make her mine. (Kou was surprised by Tomoe's words. He stayed silent) Tomoe:Well,I'll see you on that day,Kou. See ya. Kou:Yeah... (Tomoe walks off but,Kou was still standing there,feeling shocked by Tomoe's words. His hands that are holding the tennis racket and the tennis ball,became into clenched fists)
-In Yuki's room- Why was I like that earlier? Hesitating to say that I wanted to see him practice? *sigh* What's wrong with me these days?
(Finally,it's the day of the competition. Everyone that participated are crowding at their field of sports. There's also a large crowd wanting to see the participants compete with each other) I'm so nervous right now. It's almost time for me to go. *bang!* (It was time for Yuki to race. She participated in all the sprint events. Meanwhile,Kou has a match with one of the participants)
(At the end of the day,the competition ended. Well,not really the end of the day. It's just almost the end of the day. It was only about 3 pm. Kou and Yuki got a chance to meet with each other that day because they had to see their sensei who was waiting at the sports faculty room)
Sensei:The event was great today. Keep it up! And good work for today. It's great that you two won. I'm just going to say that. Congratulations on winning. You're dismissed. Kou and Yuki:Thank you sensei. (The both of them leaves the room)
Kou:Congrats,Yuki. I didn't get a chance to say it just now. Yuki:Thanks senpai. You too,congrats. Kou:Thanks. Umm...do you want to go out somewhere tomorrow? Yuki: Huh? Go out? Where? Kou:At the Star amusement park. Do you want to go with me? Oh my god. Is it just the both of us going? Senpai and I?! What should I say?! Is it...a date?! N-no way! We're not even going out! Baka! Kou:Yuki? Are you alright? You were quiet just now. Do you want to go there with me? Yuki:Eh? Err...s-sure. Kou: ..... You know...you can bring one or two of your friends to go with you. I know that you don't want to go with me by yourself...it'll be awkward right? Just the both of us. (Kou felt sad because Yuki doesn't want to go with Kou only)
Yuki:Eh?? Wh-why are you feeling sad? I told you that I want to go. (Kou started sniffing as if he wanted to cry[He's just overreacting right?]) Yuki:Umm...okay okay! I'll go with you. Sheesh...(Kou smiled with this kind of look that you do when you acted you feel sad but actually you're just messing with that person) Kou:Great! I'll see you tomorrow then. Oh,I almost forgot. Here's my number. (Kou takes Yuki's hand and takes a pen out from his trouser's pocket and wrote his phone number on Yuki's right palm) Yuki:Wh-what? You...you're just pretending weren't you?! Kou:Hahaha! It's because I want to be with you alone tomorrow. Sorry about that Yuki. I already bought our tickets for tomorrow. Be ready by 1 pm. I have to go now. Bye! Yuki:Wait! Senpai! Ughh...this one senpai. Really...
-At the Star amusement park- I'm so nervous right now. (Yuki's heart starts to beat faster than normal) Calm down, calm down. It's just Kou-senpai. Not someone particular... (She takes a deep breath in and exhaled) Let's go. (Yuki reached the park earlier than the promised time. It's not that early right? It's only 12.15 pm. (She checks her watch. Actually,the promised time to meet is 1 pm) -_- I think I'm here too early. (She looks around. I don't think senpai's here yet. Of course. It's 45 minutes earlier anyway. I should send a message to him that I'm already here. Wait. No. I shouldn't. Hmm...since there's some shops nearby,I should just go and take look around. Yeah...I should.
(Yuki takes a look around the shops while waiting for Kou. While she was taking a look around,there was someone who has been observing her since she arrived) Someone:Why is she here?
