*Nadeshiko POV*
to those who did not get the balls please leave the camp the voice boomed in the speakers and all those who did not get the balls slowly dispersed out of the camp. I had no idea what was going on but I watched all of them go with their heads low.
"Nee-san, why you are here?" Ryoma asked gaining my attention but before I could tell him my side the guy with the Lab coat said " We invited her here"

"huh?" Ryoma-san's confused face ask to the coach. The guy turned to me and smiled, " I know you're tired from your trip let me accompany you to your room." He motioned me to follow him, I just nod my head and turned to Ryoma which his face full of questions.
"Wait a minute! Let me come with you! I don't want to-" before Ryoma-san could finish his sentence there was a whole lot of questions everywhere.
I blink for a few minutes while they bombared questions to Ryoma-kun's face.

"Here, here. Why all you go to your assigned room and just be ready for the match later on?" The guy said and turned to Ryoma-kun, "Echizen Ryoma, please do come with me if you're afraid that I'll kidnap your sister." Then he walked pass me and Ryoma-kun, I smiled at him and said, "let's go."

*in the rooms*
it's a small room, (just figure out a single room in the animè) but a comfy one, Ryoma-kun sat on the bed and looked at me, "Why you did not go home before you come here? Why they invited you? we all know that you and sports are not in good terms and never will be on good terms to begin with." he said as a matter of factly.

Yes, you read it right. I am the only Echizen who is not good in tennis, in general I am not good in sports. I suck at sports, I tried to play tennis and all kinds of sports but sports doesn't like me at all. AT ALL. I am just not that coordinated type of person when it comes to sports.

Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Echizen Nadeshiko, 14 years old, sister of Ryoma and Ryoga. I don't have the same hair color with Ryoma and onii-chan but my mom Rinko said that I inherited my grandmother's haircolor when she was young. When onii-chan came into our lives our family seemed perfect. Onii-chan always teased Ryoma-kun, they even taught me how to play tennis but to no avail, even I sucked at it, they patiently taught me but they gave up when I sustained an injury because of their persuation which costed them a day long homilee with okasa and otousan.

When onii-chan was taken by his aunt Ryoma-kun and I was devastated when he left. I cried for a whole week after that incident, my dad and mom don't know what they would do to me because for them I seemed fragile and delicate that's why they took care of me more rather than Ryoma. Anyway, fastforward to me staying back in the US, my mom and dad pursuaded me to come with them, I refused because I wanted to stay for me to continue my studies and also for the hopes of seeing Ryoga again even though my chances are very slim I didn't lose hope. I stayed with my aunt (mom's cousin). Until the day I decided to come back when mom and dad puruaded me for like 2-3 weeks, I decided to give in. Anyway, I will be able to see my beloved Ryoma-kun.I was not able to see my beloved brother however my heart still tells me that I will be able to see him again.

FLASHBACK

When I arrived in Narita airport, my phone rang.
took my phone and looked who's calling. It was unregistered number.

"Hello?"
"Nadeshiko, it's me your dad" a familar baritone voice who suddenly I missed said on the other line. I smiled at the image of my dad in my head.
"I am so sorry if we could not be able to pick you up. U-17 camp said that they'll fetch you there, they need your skills for the participants." Explained by my father.
"ehh? you agreed otousan?"
"I am so sorry, I tried to convince them but they said that they'll take care of you, your mother is upset with it but they agreed to let us visit you and Ryoma from time to time. What we can do? they need you to assess each and every participants to prevent more injuries. You know tennis." he explained
"it is okay otousan, what can I do?" my soft voice said to him and make him calm down.

You might be asking why I am here in U-17 camp, well it is because of my skills in identifying a potential injury that may harm tennis players. I am also knowledgeable about the treatment of injuries aquired by the players even outside of tennis. I know that it is some what absurd at my age to identify those things without proper training and skills but as what my mom and my dad sees and think that I am fully skilled that's why they let me participate (well not in a game) that is why I am here.

-back to reality still in Nadeshiko's PoV-

I looked at my adorable brother and smiled, "You know the reason why I came here, right?"
"ahh, I get it" he said while nodding then we chit chat for sometime not knowing the time.
"nee-san, you change now and we'll go straight to the dinning hall to eat.. You take a nap." He stood up got his bag and kissed my forehead. I looked up to him and nod my head, besides I am tired already. After he was about to go, he turned his head and gave me a warning "double lock the doors, don't wear revealing outfits and call me whenever you needed me." he smiled and went out.
