FOUR: The Beginning

Rikkaidai Fuzokuchuu Year One.

"Hello class, I'm Izumi Hirotaka and I'll be your homeroom and math teacher for the year. Welcome to Rikkaidai and may your journey with us be a smooth one."

"Ohayou Izumi-sensei!" class 1-A chimed.

"Now let's get started on attendance shall we? Atsushi Kyouya?"

As their teacher went down the register, the students chattered introducing themselves to one another in a bid to make a couple of friends in the newly foreign environment. In the far corner to the back by the window, a blue haired boy was starring intently at the tennis courts down below, his mind only filled with the promise he and his childhood friend had made, that they would take over the tennis club together. He was a little upset that they hadn't ended up in the same class-

"Ne~"

His train of thought was interrupted by a female voice. He turned and saw a girl, his seatmate no doubt, deep brick red hair that fell flawlessly, her eyes brown orbs that pierced his indigo ones intently.

"Were you talking to me?"

"Yeah who else would I be talking to?"

"..."

"You're kinda quiet eh? Hehe, I'm Ishihara Satomi! Yoroshiku!"

"Yukimura Seichii, yoroshiku."

At his introduction, the girl smiled.

"Yukimura Seichii.. Would it be alright if I called you Seichii? Then you can call me Satomi!!"

"Ehh but why my first name?"

"Cos real friends call each other by their first names don't they? And we're friends now aren't we?"

"Friends eh?" he thought, then he smiled.

"Let's be friends shall we Satomi?"

"Mm!" and she was happy, oh so very happy.

~-~-~-~-~

"So which club are you gonna join Seichii?" she asked as she swiped an ebi fry from his bento.

Yukimura was of course a little shocked at the action, why was she so quick to assume that he'd be okay with her stealing from his lunch, and more importantly why was he actually okay with it?

"My friend and I made a promise, that we'd join the tennis club and take over."

"Hmm~ interesting~ and where is this friend??"

"Ahh~ there he is right now, Sanada!"

A dark haired boy walked over, his stiff posture speaking nothing but of discipline.

"Yuki." He greeted with a smile.

"Sanada, this is my classmate Ishi-"

"Ishihara Satomi desu, yoroshiku!"

"S-Sanada Genichirou desu, yoroshiku." He introduced, slightly taken aback by the girl's enthusiasm.

"So Seichii tells me that the both of you are gonna take over the boy's tennis club."

"Seichii?" he turned to his childhood friend, eyebrows raised.

Yukimura shot him a look that said 'I'll explain later'.

Trusting that his friend has his reasons Sanada simply nodded, then turned to the girl, "Yes Ishihara-san, we came to Rikkaidai with the intention of being kings."

"Hehe~ you're so cute Gen-chan!"

"G-G-GEN-CHAN???" he exclaimed, his face now flushed a crimson red.

"Yup I'm gonna call you that from now on kay? So you can just call me Satomi instead of Ishihara-san! Afterall, we're friends now aren't we?" she beamed.

The boy was a little confused, yet strangely comforted by the thought, with a small smile he replied, "Yes, yes we are."
