"Shoyo is pretty weak without Fujima and the others from last year. It's very clear who will win this game." Ayako said
"Can't hide the fact that Ryonan came out to be very strong too. Sendoh became their ultimate scoring machine. He's already scored 40 points during the first half" Miyagi added
The score is 80-35 with Ryonan's lead and the 2nd half is now about to start.
80% of the audience is cheering for Ryonan. Lots of women are going crazy and cheering for Sendoh. Anika can't hide the fact that her boyfriend is very popular. It made her feel quite uneasy but tried to shrug it off. She tugged herself in Sendoh's jacket. It still has his warmth and scent. When she caught Sendoh's gaze, she gave him a warm smile.
***
Last 5 minutes on the clock and Ryonan is still leading. The score now is 150-70.
This is an easy game for Ryonan and Sendoh seem to be bored. He is not able to unleash his full potential. However, he did some alley-oop with Fukuda's help, and lots of dunks.
At the end of the game, Sendoh scored 80 points alone, and he glanced at Anika in the audience with every successful shot. It made her feel special.
She said her goodbyes to Haruko, Ayako, and Miyagi, and hurriedly got out of her seat and waited for Sendoh outside the building.
After an hour and a half of waiting, Sendoh came out with the others. He is wearing a white shirt and his Ryonan trousers. A lot of people came to him, mostly girls, asking for his autograph. Anika looked to the ground and patiently waited. When Sendoh noticed her standing at the far corner, he called out her name and waved.
Anika smiled, waved back, and walked towards Sendoh and his team. When she was inches away from him, he immediately surrounded her in a tight hug. His fans stopped what they were doing. They seemed surprised with the sudden move from Sendoh. His fangirls looked daggers at Anika.
"I'm sorry guys, but I have to go now." Sendoh said to his fans as he let go of Anika
His fans understood and gave some privacy to Sendoh and his team.
"You guys... get a room" Koshino said
"Anika-san!! Isn't that Sendoh-senpai's jacket??" Hikoichi asked
"I have decided to give it to her since she's my lucky charm." Sendoh winked at her and continued to speak to his team "Give us a moment. I'll be back in a minute."
The team went to the vending machine, leaving Sendoh and Anika alone.
"Anika, I'm sorry but I have to go with them for dinner. It's kinda like a thanksgiving victory. How long have you been waiting? Do you want to come with us?"
"About an hour and a half but no worries at all.. I just wanted to congratulate you... And no, it's alright, my mom is waiting for me. You guys have fun at dinner."
"You waited that long to congratulate me?" Sendoh shook his head, smiled to himself, and continued "Aren't I the luckiest?" He leaned forward, lifted her chin with his fingers, and gave her a kiss.
She felt her entire body become warm as her face turned red. Some of Sendoh's fans were still around, waiting, and they saw the entire thing. Sendoh gave her a warm smile with his eyes and continued to speak
"I'd like to take you on a date tomorrow. I'll meet you after our training."
"A-alright... I'll meet you at Ryonan high"
