Green Flames (Prince of Tennis Fan Fiction)

First Day, First Meet

Hi there! Chapter 12 is out and I hope you like it :) I'm working on a short animation at the moment and it's about two best friends (boy x girl) who spends their last day together, and you see that the boy is secretly in love with the girl by saying he likes or rather loves fireflies, which is referring to the girl's name, Hotaru (firefly) and when he see her smile the whole world stops. Well, I think I maybe be finished within 1-3 months, but it kinda depends how much I work :) Anyway, I hope you like this chapter :)

"Man, this is what I call mountains..."

Shin looks up at the huge "bumps" going km up in the air.

"Hey, Ryoma" Shin said. "Why are we by the mountains? We're not supposed to climb up, just to play tennis are we? I mean, the ball could end up bouncing of the edge and we end up going up and down just to get it..."

"At least you don't have to go to school" Echizen said.

"You gotta point."

She looked at the whole parking lot and it seemed like the other tennis clubs where there too. She knew the ones with the blue shirt, but not with the yellow ones.

"Hm... I suppose they are from Rikkai Dai... I wonder who their captain is..."

"Everyone!"

They all looked at their coach, but it wasn't the coach Shin was used to. This time it was a rather old lady.

"Say, Ryoma" Shin whispered. "Who's the old geezer?"

"That's Sumire Ryuzaki sensei. Our former coach and Sakuno-chan's grandmother."

"Heh~ so she's that old."

Suddenly a big shadow covered her up, and their new coach was smiling at her like a wild animal.

"What did you say?"

"Um, nothing..." she answered while sweat dropping.

"Hm..." The coach took a closer look at her, and smiled a normal smile. "So you Shin, eh? The first girl who has been accepted by Seishun Academy's High school division's boy tennis club!"

"Wow, that I call a long sentence..."

"Don't act cocky!"

"I wasn't trying to..."

Her sensei looked a bit annoyed at her, but Shin on the other hand just wanted to get over with the conversation as quick as possible. At last Ryuzaki just sighed and looked at everyone who was there.

"Everyone!" she shouted once again. "Welcome! As many of you know, I'm Sumire Ryuzaki and I'm going to be your coach in this camp..."

She kept babbling and babbling, just making Shin tired.

'I guess the rumor is true... Old people do talk a lot...'

"Sigh, so tired" Shin moaned and jumped on the bed.

"Why's that, Shin-chan?" Sakuno asked.

"I almost didn't get any sleep last night..."

"That's right... You're a night owl, aren't you?"

"You got that right."

"That's not true" a voice from the door suddenly said.

"Ryoma-kun" Sakuno said a bit surprised. "What do you mean."

"The only reason Shin is sleeping late, is because she's either thinking too much or very excited. This time, it was because she was so excited to come on camp."
