【Emiko's POV】
Turning in my application alongside Ayane to Ryuuzaki sensei went a lot better than I expected. We are currently making our way to our classroom, 3-6, for our first class of the day, which doesn't start for another ten minutes. Ayane begins to skip alongside me, swinging her arms exaggeratedly as she begins to hum a song out of excitement. I can't help but chuckle at her antics.
I take this moment to begin to tease her playfully, "Saa, Ayane chan, if you swing your arms any harder, they are going to come flying off."
At hearing this, Ayane turns and glares at me as she begins to swing her arms in an even more exaggerated fashion. I can't help but think to myself that her reaction is quite amusing to witness, as I continue to chuckle softly.
"Emiko chi, you are such a sadist," Ayane says while pouting cutely.
"I'm really not a sadist, I just like to tease people. I find their reactions amusing," I respond, amused at the fact that Ayane is calling me a sadist even though we are best friends.
"That's exactly what a sadist would say, Emiko, so you are just proving my point," Ayane says pointedly.
By this time we had already reached the classroom and had our stuff out, ready for class, we were just waiting for class to start. As we continue our playful bickering, Eiji and Fuji enter the classroom, waving to us. We wave back, but continue our play fighting.
"Hoi hoi, what are you guys arguing about this time?" Eiji asks, as he plops himself down on top of Ayane's desk.
I noticed how Ayane seems to blush for a brief moment before her expression returns to normal. I look to Fuji to see if he noticed as well, and see him playfully smirking, confirming that he indeed did see what I saw.
"I was saying that Emiko is a sadist, but she keeps on denying it when it is totally true," Ayane whines cutely in response to Eiji's question.
Eiji wraps his arms around her squealing about how cute she is, while nuzzling his cheek into her hair. At this moment Ayane's face goes bright red from either embarrassment or because she has a crush on Eiji, it is unknown which one it is, but I'm leaning towards the latter.
Once Eiji stops, he responds with, "I don't get why she's denying it because it's totally true that she is a sadist. Her, along with Fujiko, are complete sadists."
At this, me and Fuji begin to chuckle.
"Ah, that's right! Today me and Ayane turned in our applications to join the team. I applied to be the team medic, while Ayane applied to be the manager," I say, after the chaos has calmed down.
Before either of the boys can respond, the bell rings, signaling the start of class, and the boys are forced to go to their seats, which are right next to ours. With that our day begins.
【Magical Time Skip】
【Ochaco's POV】
After school has ended, I find myself wandering around the tennis courts. I don't know what brought me here, maybe it's the nostalgia of playing tennis or a habit to find the nearest tennis court. All I know is that I miss playing tennis, especially since I'm not playing this year, just having moved back to Japan after being in South Korea for the past three years due to my parents work, (A/N: I think I forgot to mention this in the character introduction page and I'm too lazy to go back and add it at this point). I look down at the tennis bag that I carry out of habit, and ponder to myself whether or not I should still practice. The next thing I know I've changed into athletic wear and am practicing against a wall. After a while, I hear voices behind me so I turn around, only to see a bunch of guys dressed in tennis jerseys staring at me.
I try to fight the blush that is trying to appear on my face, and yell out, "What the hell do you think you're looking at?!?!"
I make an irritated face, although, on the inside, I am quite curious as to why they are staring at me.
"Who are you? Are you on the girls tennis team?" one of the guys asks me.
"Does it look like I'm on the girls tennis team, dumb ass? I'm not even wearing their uniform, nor am I with them, so I'm clearly not a part of that team, not that I would want to be a part of it anyways. I heard they are not very good this year after they lost their best player," I respond, with my eyebrow twitching.
"Fshuuu, aren't you in my class?" the one who I recognize as my classmate asks me.
I turn my head in the opposite direction, while crossing my arms, and then nod my head.
"The name's Ishimaru Ochaco, in case you were wondering, not that I wanted to introduce myself to you guys in the first place. I just figured you were going to ask eventually so I might as well get the introduction out of the way," I spit out, pretending to be annoyed, when in reality I am embarrassed as hell.
After that, they all introduce themselves to me and I find out that they are the regulars of the Seigaku boys tennis team.
"Ishimaru san, although your name is Japanese, you have a foreign accent, why is that?" the one named Fuji, asks me.
"I spent the past three years in Busan, South Korea, so I speak in Busan satoori a lot of the time. It's pretty similar to a Japanese accent so I'm surprised you noticed. Also, my mom is Korean, although she spent the majority of her life here in Japan," I answer, kind of surprised that Fuji senpai noticed my accent, since it is not very noticeable.
(A/N: look up Jimin from BTS talking in Busan satoori and then listen to one of the POT characters speaking, and you'll notice how similar they are). Fuji senpai just chuckles at me, making me a little annoyed at his behavior. I can't help but think that this will be an interesting experience.
A/N: Wow I finished chapter 2 a lot quicker than I thought I would. Hopefully I can keep up with updating. I'm currently failing two classes so I need to focus on them so I don't know when the next update will be. I also don't have a set schedule for this story and I don't have anything planned so lets see where this story will go. I'm hoping that it turns out pretty good and I'll probably start rewatching POT when I get to chapter 4 or 5 (not sure when I'll start getting into the original plot line, but it should be somewhere around those chapters), so I can make it as accurate as possible, while adding in my oc's. I'm actually really proud of this chapter and hope that the people who are reading this (the very few people who are reading this, lol), enjoy this story because I am working hard to make it interesting and entertaining, even if I don't have anything really planned. Make sure to share this story with your friends and they share it with their friends!
