♥17♥ I couldn't care less

Kasamatsu refused to watch the Interhigh Finals of the boys's side of the competition because it was a constant reminder that his team lost at the Quater-Finals. However, he and his team came after Rakuzan took the win. Why? To cheer for the girls who have played their way through the Quarter and Semi-Finals to be here at the final stage.

"I thought you said you weren't coming?" Kise asked Moriyama Yoshitaka who originally said he wasn't going to show up today.

"I felt like coming to see if I can learn something."

'Why don't you just admit you came to see your girlfriend? Is it just me or are you being cold to her recently?' Kise wondered.

"Rakuzan took the champion this time but we are going to work hard and take Winter Cup!" Kasamatsu reminded his teammates.

"Don't worry. For now, let's see how the girls will do for the Finals. I am rooting for Tsuyu-san and hope she will be fine." Kobori smiled, "Oh, I made some sandwiches if any of you get hungry."

"Kobo(r)i-san, I am so touched by you(r) mothe(rl)y instinct!" Hayakawa had to be dragged away by Kasamatsu because he was causing too much of a ruckus.

"Why is Hayakawa so worked up when we're not even playing?" Kobori muttered.

"Senpai said something about cheering his heart out for Snow Princess." Kise answered him.

"Oh."

At Aozora's locker room, the girls were talking about the game plan without their coach or advisors for the time being.

"All right, we will focus on the first quarter with Fuyu's drive." Shiki said to them, "So we are going to clear a path for her and overwhelm the other team right at the start. Any questions?"

"Shiki-senpai, is it just me or Natsuhi-senpai's boobs got bigger than last time?!" Harumi raised her hand up with a very serious face.

"Harumi, shut up. Do any of you have any problem?" Seeing that no one has any questions over the game plan, Shiki smiled at them. "This is going to be the 3rd year's last tournament. Let's give it our all and win this."

"Yes!"

Shiki's cell phone started to vibrate within her bag and a loud guitar riff can be heard. Shiki went to answer it and she nodded at Natsuhi to silently tell her to take the others and go ahead. Natsuhi nodded back and told the girls to follow her to warm up at the court.

Kasamatsu Yukio was annoyed because he went to the restroom and nobody waited for him. Why didn't they wait for him? Knowing those morons, they will probably reply with something close to 'You never told us to'.

'Hakanai?' He saw Shiki talking on her cell phone from outside of their locker room. She was sitting on a bench and one of her leg was over the other. Kasamatsu blushed a bit because he thought she looked sexy. He shook the thoughts away when he realized how wrong his thoughts were.

"Sano, are you stupid? What makes you think I will forgive you even if you apologized to me?" Shiki asked the person on the other side of her phone.

—I know what I say now will mean nothing to you. I just really wanted you to know I only realize your pain the moment I realized how powerless I felt when I was unable to play. I am not asking for the world to forgive me, I just want you to know how I feel...—

"Whatever. I don't give a shit."

—Shiki...—

"Don't call me by that name anymore. No one is allowed to call me that but the people I acknowledge." She switched her cell phone off. She sighed and looked at the ceiling; if Sano had said that before her heart for him shattered, maybe there could have been a second chance.
