The Time We Meet

New Comer

My name is Kuroko Tetsuya, 13 years old. Right now, I'm in the most important moment in my life.

"Oi, Akashi. Are you serious?" ask the tan boy beside me.

"Hm? Of course I'm serious. Have you ever seen me joking around?" ask Akashi back.

Yeah. Akashi Seijuuro. He is the Generation of Miracles's vice captain. The top rank student who always be number one in everything.

"So, how about it Kuroko? Wanna join the Generation of Miracle?" ask him to me. How can I refuse it? It's the offer right from the captain. Even tough I don't know how I can be useful in the team.

"Sure." I nodded.

I can't believe this is really happening. Maybe I should pinch myself later at home to make sure it is not a dream. I'm so happy! Finally I can play basketball in the team. And for another secret reason. To meet Akashi Seijuuro, my love at first sight.

"Your movement is getting better, Tetsu!"

"Ah, really? Thank you so much for always teaching me, Aomine-kun." I smile to him.

"Yeah. I think your movement is much better than the first time." Another voice join us.

I jolt once I heard his voice because I know exactly whose voice is it. Even after a month in the team, I still startled and jolted when I hear his voice. It's kinda embarassing.

"Thank you so much, Akashi-kun," I reply slowly.

He smiled in satisfaction. "So I really make a right choice when I recruit you."

I'm so happy to hear that! It's mean that I'm not a burden for the team like I always thought. I wonder why my face muscle is really hard to be moved. When I feel happy like this, I can only smile a little smile. Sounds weird, huh?

"Seijuurocchi!" An arm suddenly warp him from behind, making him almost fall down. Ugh, I don't like that.

"Whoa! Ryouta!"

"Hehe.." he giggle. "Guess what I'm here for!"

Akashi-kun sighed. "What? You are afraid to go to the bathroom by yourself and want me to accompany you?"

"It's not!" he blushed. "I want to join the basketball club."

"Huh?!" shout two person and say one person. Yes, I'm the one who just say it. It's just.. shocking. I don't need another love rival here. All the girls are enough.

"Why so sudden?" Akashi-kun shake him.

"No way! There is no way I can say it here!" he turn around, blushing.

"Then, just whisper it to me. I'll decide to let you in or not by your reason."

The blonde nod and whisper something to Akashi-kun's ear. "So.. what do you think?" he asks nervously.

"No," answer Akashi-kun firmly.

"Why?!"

"Once a no is a no," he state.

That model pout and left without saying anything to Akashi-kun. Uh-oh, here it comes. The look Akashi-kun always has on his face whenever he stare at 'Ryouta'. No, I'm not jealous at all. I just think it's kinda annoying. Oh, okay. I'm jelaous. SUPERLY JEALOUS.

"Is that your best friend?" I couldn't hold the urge to ask it.

Akashi-kun turn to me with a sad smile. "My childhood friend. We have been together since babies."
