Teppei POV

It has been three weeks now, I'm not sure why I have noticed but. Every practice after school, she shows up and sits at one of the benches in the far corner of the gym so she doesn't disturb practice. She seems to just come here to do her studies; I wonder why, a place of a constant roar of sneakers and dribbling, and not to mention the guys yelling at each other. My thoughts were interrupted by Junpei.

"Oi Teppei, keep your head on straight Aho."

"Sorry, I was distracted."

After a while practice was about over and she packs up and leaves, just as usual. She shows up after we start and before we leave, I wonder why. Kagami walks to me.

"Do you know her Kiyoshi-Senpai?"

"N-No, but she has been coming here every day after school to study, but I'm not sure if a basketball court is the best place to study."

"I guess that's strange, but maybe she just likes basketball."

"I never really thought of that."

"Maybe you should ask her and find out?"

I blush lightly, "I wouldn't want to interrupt her studies."

Junpei hits my back, "Aho, if you want to say something to her, then just say it, don't be a coward."

"Oh and how is your 'conversation' with Riko going?"

Junpei 'tch'ed, "Sh-Shut up Aho Iron Heart."

"Don't call me that."

We go into the showers and change and go our separate ways to head home. I should ask her tomorrow, but how would I strike up a conversation. I can't just ask so bluntly, that would be rude, I'll think of something. I reach my house and wave at my grandma on the porch. Before I walked to the sidewalk I spot the same girl just a few houses from mine. I see a man outside the house as well. From the looks and age he must be her father. He seems to not be a cheery person; she heads inside so I do the same greeting my grandpa as I enter. I sit at the table and my Grandma enters and strikes a conversation.

"So are you friends with [F/N]?"

"....?"

"The girl down the street."

"Oh...Uh, I never knew her name, I've only just seen her around the last few weeks."

"That's too bad, she is such a nice girl, but I haven't seen her much...since the accident."

My eyes darted to hers, "What happened?"

My grandpa interrupts, "Now Now, this isn't our business."

My grandma continues as if ignoring him, "Her and her mother used to come here quite often, her father wasn't to kind but he usually didn't come over. [F/N] was like a granddaughter to me, always wearing a beautiful kind smile. There was a bad downpour that day, they crashed their car and her mother didn't make it. Her father was not present, most likely at work or at home. [F/N] had to have many surgeries and a painful recovery. At the funeral her father wouldn't let me speak to her and ever since I have never seen her smile. I fear that that man has done the worst to her."

I think about her words, letting them sink in and I sadden. Now that I know this much I'm not sure how to find out more about her. But it really isn't my business, I can't help but feel a pain in my chest when I think about her.

"Grandma, do you know how old she is?"

"Hmm, I think she should be a second year, why, does my Teppei have a crush?"
