Imperfect Romance: One-shot Series

Ai Gets Jealous

Ai happily exited the school building after her club meeting was over to head towards the spirit dorm to meet up with Miyuki and the rest of the team. Lately they have started the tradition of hanging out after practice and later in the evenings Miyuki would always walk her home. She didn't have any objections since that meant that she could spend more time with her boyfriend. Ai also enjoyed spending time with his teammates. After her brief stint as a manager they have become close and the team always made her feel welcome. Which is funny considering the fact that she can't still distinguish a 'ball' from a 'strike' even if her boyfriend is a catcher.

All around it has been a good couple of months and she has never been happier before. Therefore she was going to enjoy every minute of this off-season because she knew that once the season started she wasn't going to see Miyuki or the others that often.

'Well there is no reason to think about- Wait..' Ai thoughts trailed off as she entered the meeting room. At the end of the room there was Miyuki, Kuramochi, Zono, and other second years animatedly speaking to a girl. 'What the hell is she doing here?!' She thought both in anger and in shock as her eyes rested on the girl. That girl name was Takashi Hitomi and she absolutely disliked her. Ai had to concede that Hitomi with her long black straight hair that was usually braided in a french braid, sparkling brown eyes, porcelain skin, and petite figure was deemed.. Attractive. With her looks, Hitomi was one of the most popular girls in school along with Ai. She was also the representative of her class (2-C) just like Ai, she was known for her high marks (Just like Ai), and she was also in the student activities committee (Just like Ai). Do you see a pattern here? At the very least she wasn't involved in any science related clubs because then Ai truly would lose it. That was her safe space.

However, none of that explained why was she there. Talking to the baseball team and her boyfriend.

She narrowed her eyes at the group when all of the sudden they burst out laughing. So naturally she had to interrupt.

Ai cleared her throat. "Hi Kazuya!" She greeted as cheery as she could (But not too cheery because then it would sound fake) as she approached the group.

"Oh hi Ai-chan!" Miyuki's eyes lit up as he turned to her and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"Hey Yukimura-san!" The rest of the group greeted.

"Hey guys, how are you doing?" She asked with a small smile.

"We were just talking to Takashi-san." Kuramochi replied as he pointed to Hitomi.

Hitomi smiled sweetly at Ai and waved. "Hi Yukimura-san." She said in a sickly sweet tone that was just fake as hell.

Ai smiled at her back. "Hello Takashi-san." Ai replied in the same fake sweet tone as she wrapped her arm around Miyuki's arm.

Kuramochi narrowed his eyes suspiciously at the two girls sensing some weird tense atmosphere all of the sudden.

Miyuki blinked. "Uh.. Do you guys know each other?" He asked oblivious to the passive-aggression in the room.

"Of course!" Hitomi exclaimed turning to the catcher. "We are both in the student activities committee and we often work together for the school events such as cultural festival or the sports festivals." She explained.

"Yes, we also see each other in the meetings." Ai nodded.

"It's such a joy to work with Yukimura-san." Hitomi complimented with another sweet smile.

"Likewise." Ai smiled back.

"Miyuki-kun you are so lucky to date her." She said with that same sweet smile to Miyuki who blushed and only nodded in response.
