The Prince Of Tennis // Oneshots

Echizen Ryoma - Unknown girl

Echizen tapped his fingers at the table while his other hand is pressed against his cheeks, watching his teammates in bore.

"Oi, Echizen! Show some enthusiasm will you?"

"Urgh, it's not like I wanted to be here."

His teammates were used to this nature of his. He can hardly think to come in this kind of event since it's dull and too long. His senpais were only talking with each other and he is separated with his fellow 1st years.

They went on a new opened fast food restaurant and oceanic of people attended.

"Ah, the order is taking too long."

"There a lot of orders so..."

"Nya! I wanna eat already~!"

"Tch."

He swore that it'll be quick just like the ads said but the restaurant were just clowning the customers and themselves since it's already been 2 hours of waiting. They're still lucky that they spotted a free seats instead of standing in the queue, waiting for eternity.

"I wanna go home."

"Just be patient."

He could've been playing tennis by now.

The boredom almost brought him incapacitated. He rolled his eyes and viewed around the irritating place. Suddenly, an unknown person stood in front of him, fidgeting her fingers abruptly near her abdomen.

"Huh? Who are you?"

"O-oh, I just noticed that there's available seat here...so if you don't mind, can I...?"

Echizen stared at her. She's wearing a knitted sweater tucked-in in her skirt. She's in ponytail too and seems really tensed. He sighed and glanced at his companions, still busy with their own things.

He nodded and gestured her to the empty seat beside him. The stranger's face lighten up and thanked him before sitting down.

He's back at that boring phase again where he will just watch individuals trying to be patient, until he heard a small giggle. He already had it in his mind that perhaps the strange girl isn't laughing at him yet he still unconsciously turned his head around her with a furrowed brows.

"Are you laughing at me?"

"Are you bored?"

"Well, what do you think?"

"I guess so, is that your friends?" She pointed at Kikumaru who is currently bullying Momoshiro, including the other people that shares the table as him. He only nodded as a reply.

"If you didn't want to go then why did you still came?"

"They pushed me."

"Oh? You can't stand a chance against them, huh?"

"Well, yeah. It's annoying."

He is unsettled that he is replying to her when she talks to him, he doesn't even know her nor met her in his entire life. Words just started to unfold as soon as she speaks. After a while, she must have been aware of his bluntness hence she stopped blabbering things.

He peeked at her with his side vision. Her ear pierces reflected the lights above them and some strands of her hair fell down on her temples.

'Pretty...'

That's the first thing came to his mind. She really is attractive, especially in her ponytail although it is quite messy. He gulped when she slightly moved on her seat.

Again, he unconsciously opened his mouth. Resulting of a new topic.

"Where do you study?"

"Hm? Ah, me? I study at (Junior High)."
