"Rugby! Swimming! You have to play baseball! Come join our club!" I heard the shouts of others trying to get more members to join their clubs. I pulled my baseball cap down lower, covering my cherry blossom-colored eyes. They were bordering onto red. My mid-back baby pink hair was tied into a pony-tail that hung out of the hole on the back of my cap. I stuffed my hands into the pockets of my hoodie, trying not to stand out. I was a girl of average height at 5'5". My phone was tucked in the back pocket of my skinny jeans, and my ankle high boots silently glided over the stoned courtyard. I technically wasn't a student here yet, since I had just turned in my transfer forms in yesterday with my otōsan. I was here just checking out the clubs Seirin High offered. I continued to stroll around, straining my ears to hear those magical words that I wanted to hear.

"Basketball! Basketball! How would you like to join the basketball team?" A brown-haired second-year shouted out, waving a flyer. My ears perked up eagerly. I looked around, finding the source. He was standing with two other tall students with black hair. They must be second-years since they're trying to recruit more members.

My feet began to walk by themselves, leading me towards my passion. I heard them as I got closer.

"You need to say it like this: 'new kids, join basketball. The basketball club needs some serious help!'" The one in the middle laughed jokingly. The brown-haired boy's face fell.

"I've had enough of your jokes, Izuki."

The tall second-year at the end of their 3-man line silently smiled, holding out flyers. Without thinking, I found myself in front of them.

"Ah! Would you like a flyer for the basketball club?" The brown-haired one asked, handing me one. I lifted the bill of my cap so that my cherry-colored eyes met his brown ones. I shyly smiled, taking it from his hand before pulling my cap down again, disappearing from their sights as I weaved in between the crowds. I could hear the basketball club members shouting after me as I continued to walk away.

I checked the time on the sleek black digital watch that adorned my thin wrist. 3:28pm. I grimaced before glancing down at the basketball flyer I had grabbed from the club member, reading the title: "Seirin High's Basketball Club!" My eyes skimmed over the highlights and the application form on the back before quickly folding the flyer and shoving it in my shorts' back pocket. Tucking my hands into my front pockets, I picked up the pace and quickly walked home.

"I'm home, otōsan!" I called out, walking into the living room after closing the front door. My dad appeared from the kitchen.

"Did you join the music club yet? What about dance?" That was the first thing he asked. Not 'did you find any interesting clubs? How was your day?' Just 'did you join the music club yet' and 'what about dance'. I sighed irritably. "I heard the dance club at the school is... good. You're at a different level compared to them, but I guess it wouldn't hurt for you to join."
