Chapter 4: The Dream

"Is it true? Ryoma lose the game? There might be something wrong."

"I won. From now on, Makisig is mine."

"Makisig??"

"Makisig is his new name," she said and then she turned back the racket on Fuji and got Karupin.

"Wait!" Ryoma shouted.

He's serious.

"Now that he is yours, let's have another match to make it fair."

"But I don't like it to be fair," she said and went away.

"Nooo!!' Ryoma shouted and tried to reach for Karupin.

SNOOZE! SNOOZE! SNOOZE!

The alarm was still snoozing. So Ryoma have no choice but to woke-up. He saw Karupin sleeping over his stomach.

"Karupin…" he whispered while embracing the cat. "Oh no! I will be late again!" He screamed.

He made his move as fast as he can so that he would arrive exactly on time. But again, he's late.

"Hey, Echizen, you're late again," Momoshiro greeted Ryoma as he entered the room.

Ryoma didn't say a single word but noticed some unfamiliar people who were wearing a black T-shirt and a khaki short for the boys and a khaki skirt for the girls. The name of the school was indicated on their left chest and he noticed that they belong on the same school. They wore big IDs' with a word "JOURNALIST" printed on it.

"Echizen, you may sit down. They will interview us about our victory on Hyotei," the Vice- Captain Oishi said to him.

Ryoma sat quietly. Some girls made some noises and their eyes became heart shapes because of that he snobbed them.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Come in," Coach Ryuzaki said firmly.

A cute boy wearing a cap entered the room and all of a sudden the room became so quiet.

"You're late," the Editor-in-Chief broke the silence.

"I've told you, I'm not feeling well," the boy said confidently.

Ryoma noticed something.

"I will punish you after this. Go and do your job."

The boy walked and took some shots; he is the only photojournalist of their club.

The way of their interviewed was a copycat of his dream. The same as it is.

Just liked his dream, after their interview they went to the Tennis Court to have some demonstrations. The way of what they did was also the same way on his dream.

"Echizen, have an easy match on her," Tezuka demanded.

"Okay," he said and went to the court.

"Do I really need to do that?" boy asked.

"What's wrong? You don't need to win on this game, besides you're not a Tennis player, you're a photographer."

"I don't think so…" Ryoma thought.

The boy placed down the camera and borrowed a racket on Tezuka.

"Left-handed?"

"I will not give you a handicap," Ryoma said when the boy arrived at the court. "'Coz you're not only a photographer…" he added in his mind.

"So what…" he said without effort.

Ryoma bounced the ball in the ground. He would do the first serve. According to his posture, he would do the Twist Serve.

"Oh no!!"

All of them were shocked on what they saw. The cap slowly removed from the boy's head. The long and shiny hair fell down.

"Jei-dy!!" The Journalism Team shouted on what they saw.

She was hit by the ball in her left eyebrow. It's bleeding…
