[Koizumi Akane]

As soon Sei finished touring the whole entities school, I eat lunch with him in the classroom. Lots of people seemed surprised to see Sei eating with me. More eyes stare at us as Sei chuckles and talks. The more he talks, the more eyes stare at us. With all the eyes staring at us, I become anxious.

'Is there something on my face? Did I do something? What are they staring at?' I thought as I carefully eat my lunch. As time passed, I become more impatient.

"Sei, did I do something? Why is everyone staring at us?" I ask.

"Just ignore them. You should join the basketball club," Sei simply says.

"Just because I was the Teiko manager two years ago, doesn't mean I still have the skills," I respond.

"You probably don't even know what kind of club to even join. Just join the basketball club. You've been in one either way, so it should be easy."

'I guess so...'

"Meet me at the gym after school."

. . .

I stand in front of the gym and open the big metal door. A big squeak could be heard as I slowly open the door. All the eyes look at me as I take my very first step into the gym. The sounds of basketball squeaking stops. As I take another step and close the door behind me, three tall men surround me with big eyes.

"Hey, who are you?" One asks.

"You're pretty cute! What's your name?" Another says.

"Hey Akashi, is she another fangirl?"

'Why did I even come here?' I thought as I look at these weird obnoxious people with wide eyes.

"No, I called her. She's going to be the new manager, I've been talking about" I look over and see Akashi landing a three-pointer. Their face lights up.

"I'm Mibuchi Reo. You can call me Reo nii-chan!" A male with long black hair that reaches his chin, with two strands of hair falling down to his eyes. He has gentle-looking eyes, with outstandingly long eyelashes.

"Reo-nee, stop stealing her away from me! I'm Hayama Kotaro! Let's be–Ahh!" A boy with short, blond hair and a pair of oval-shaped eyes with dark pupils. He also has a snaggle tooth in the right corner of his mouth.

"Stop flirting! Hey, I'm Eikichi Nebuya!" A tall man with dark colored skin and a very short beard. He has an extremely muscular body. He has short black hair, that is styled with two stripes each at the sides of his head.

As I turn around, I spot a teen with medium-length grey hair and an extremely blank gaze. We stare into each other's eyes.

'He reminds me of Kuroko. What if he is Kuroko!'

"Can you stop staring at me? If you want to know my name you could've just said so. I'm Mayuzumi Chihiro."

'Nevermind, his personality is different from his.' A sigh escapes my lips.

"I'm your new manager according to your captain. My name's Koizumi Akane."

"Akane, sit down on the bench and take notes. Reo, Kotaro, Eikichi, Chihiro, go back to practice." Sei walks towards my direction. The regulars were already continuing their practice. "Akane, you can just take notes on their weaknesses and skills." Sei walks back to the court and starts practicing.
