Chapter 1: The Queen Enters

Chapter 1. The Queen Enters

The bell rang, the school's over. Some people gathered at the gym. Yes,for the first day for basketball club that year. Freshmen stand byeach other side, and in front of them are their senior and their coach. Then the glasses one spoke,

"Listen! We'll introduced ourselves first, and then you all, understand?"then he continued, " okay, me first. "My name is Hiroto Sakuba,the captain. I'm in my 3rd year, nice to meet you all"

"me next!" now the overly excited cat-eyed one, "my name is Hinata Koga and I'm in my 2nd year, nice to meetcha!!" he said while waving both of his hands.

The sharp-eyed senpai spoke, ".... I'm Hyuuga Harakawa, sophomore,"then all of the freshmen looked at him closer, he seemed familiar but they can't put their finger about it. He's handsome black haired man, well-toned body, and charismatic eyes. No way they forgot somebody like this senpai if they know him!

"Senpai! Are you the one in the LuxeMag cover with Ryou Ishikawa??" one ofthe freshmen suddenly said. Then it all clicked. No wonder he seemed familiar, he's a model, for God's sake!

"yes, yes, he's a model, next!" Sakuba spoke nonchalantly. He's used at this reaction when some people looked at his handsome kouhai,especially girls. Yes I know he's handsome, darn!

Next is one big guy with a bald head, " Kota Shijima, in the same year as the captain, I'm the vice. Nice to know you," he said flatly, " and there's one more regular, named Ryou Sakuba in sophomore, but because of some accident he need to rest at hospital,you'll meet him later".

Then all of the member introduced theirselves to the firsties, and now's the freshmen's turn. All of them introduced themselves until the lastone, the red head one, " I'm Hanabusa Rukawa, previously inHammington Middle, new to Japan," then he smirked, "currently looking forward to strong people for an interesting match". Looking at his confidence, it seems that he didn't know about those guys.

Laughing, the coach then spoke," interesting," he smirks ," you don't know about those people then," the red-head about to ask what he mean, when the coach spoke again, " well, my name is Mike Aibara,and as you can see, I'm half Japanese," looking at the pale skin he got, and a pair of green-eyes and the face structure he got,there's a western feel about him. It's not helping that he stood beside Harakawa, when looking at the two of them, one would think that they are doing a host or modelling club instead of basketball club, as Aibara is a real looker as well. Hearing the coach name,Rukawa felt that he had heard his name somewhere before, but being the idiot he is, he forgot about it. Aibara then continued speaking,"hm, she's late. Well, she said that she need to do something at her other club. Maybe-" creak

"sorry I'm late..." all of their gaze stopped to look at the owner of the angelic voice. The girl then went in and stood next to the coach. All of them gawked in awe looking at the girl.

"hey, isn't she the cool beauty from class 1-A?? oh my gosh...."one of the freshmen said.

"yes, yes, that's her," the coach said lazily, "she's Erika Hiiragi, our manager," he said while giving the basketball in his arm to the girl, "she will be in charge of your training menus, so be good to her," and maybe she will play in some game, hehe~.Not only freshmen, the seniors, but not Harakawa, also surprised to hear that. Who will not, people would think a fragile-looking beauty like her know nothing of sport, let alone the training menus.And it seemed there's someone who can't control his mouth.

"is this country standard for basketball that low?" yes, it is the idiotic red-head, "I know that I shouldn't expect anything, but letting that fragile girl to control our training menus is unacceptable," and it seemed that the captain agree to this guy. When the coach about to retaliate, Harakawa butt in,
