Majida's fraternal grandmother told her once to be wary when things went too well. That's when the gods liked to play pranks. Her maternal grandmother always warned her about about trying to have it all too soon. And really, how else would she expla...
A handsome but brooding highschool boy leaned against a desk(her desk actually, but details). His uniform jacket unbuttoned, and his shirt collar loose enough to show a bit of skin. He looked into the distance while playing with his bottle blond hair. His sharp eyes only softening once the female protagonist arrived. He smiled as he beckoned her come to his side.
If this were a J-drama this would be the part of the script where Majida's heart skipped a beat. In reality she wasn't sure if she should be annoyed or amused. She settled for annoyed.
Muttering words her mother didn't know she knew, Majida squared her shoulders as she approached her desk. "Can I help you?" she asked. She didn't attempt to sit.
"You should give up on the girl's team," Nakamura said simply, still smiling as if he'd solved all her problems.
Majida's brain skidded to a halt. Of all the things he could want with her that wasn't anywhere on the list.
Nakamura continued his sales pitch. "I mean it Jida-kun. They aren't coming back. And even if they did I doubt they'd go far with their record."
Her eyebrow raised. Technically she had told the female students that they could use her nickname. At no point had she given him that clearance. "Who do you think-"
"Join the boy's team instead," he finished, cutting her off.
"What..."
"What?!" echoed a few of their classmates,causing both Majida and Nakamura to look their way. Their classmates rushed to regain the appearance of minding their own business.
"Listen," Majida said before pinching the bridge of her nose. "Nakamura-kun, right?"
"Call me Shin," He answered amicably.
She gave him an odd look. "Ok. Shin-kun then. You know why I can't join the boys team right? It's not allowed."
"Yes it is." he said, puffing out his chest a little. "No really I checked," he added after seeing her incredulous look. "Nothing prohibits girls from joining the team at this school."
"I'd dare to say that's only because no one's been stupid enough to try it yet. Besides, I don't want to join the boy's team."
Shin looked aghast. "Why not! I think the current starters have a good balance. It will be better when I'm a starter but-"
"No. Just no."
"What? You don't' think I could be a starter?"
"No, because you're just a freshman," Majida explained. She held up a hand to stop him from arguing. "And no my reasons for not wanting to join the team have nothing to do with the quality of the team." Majida chuckled and shook her head. "You really only talk when it's about basketball huh?"
"I have my priorities," he said proudly. "So will you think about it?"
Majida walked around him so that she could take a seat. "Doesn't matter what I think. It won't be allowed."
"You already have the male uniform. When you wear it properly no one notices," he started slowly. " We could just cut your hair, bind your chest, and problem solved."
She pursed her lips as she looked up at him. "How much manga do you read?"
Shin blushed as he cleared his throat."That's...Anyway. Just think about it okay?" he asked as the homeroom teacher entered the classroom. The teacher gave Shin a look that sent him scurrying to his seat.
Majida repressed a deep sigh. Think about what? she reasoned. He was being ridiculous.
