Prodigy with an attitude but skills that are unmatched.
...This dude has a lot of nicknames too.
Prince of Tennis. Samurai Jr. Super Rookie of the East. Super Freshman. Seigaku's Pillar of Support. Heralded Newcomer.
(breathes) Ochibi. Chibisuke. Koshimae. Brat. Idiot Son.
Phew, and of course your boyfriend.
Everyone thought he would end up with Sakuno because it was obvious that she liked him. And man, his seniors ship them too.
Let's just say you two met, one fateful day by a vending machine.
'That Ponta is mine. I got here first.' you told him as your hands bumped together, while trying to insert the money for the drink.
It was the last Ponta.
Thank Ponta for what your relationship is right now.
Anyway, of course you fought for the damn drink via tennis.
You managed to be at par with the dude and it amused him.
Bleh, you weren't that serious at first but when he suddenly used the twist serve on you...
'Oh for the love of Ponta, I'll be serious now.' you tied your hair up into a high ponytail.
He smirked, noticing it. And he sort of... liked it. You looked good in it.
In the end, you lost to him. He got the Ponta and he became your nemesis from that day on.
I forgot to mention, you just came back from America.
You moved in to an apartment, got into a school called Seishun Gakuen.
Yay, chaos shall ensue.
'I'm going to be your new classmate. Please be good to-PONTA FREAK?!'
You two were classmates. He sat by the window (cliche), near the back.
You saw him, but not his pinkish cheeks as his eyes widened, seeing you again.
He didn't quite understand why he suddenly felt like that.
Eventually, you found out he was a regular of your school's tennis club. You befriended his uhm... two number one fans? Sakuno and the noisy one.
You always wanted a rematch from him, and in return he would have to treat you Ponta. (Who's the Ponta freak now?)
I mean, you've had a match with the rest of his teammates, except Tezuka though.
Maybe he's had enough of super freshmen.
You always came with them during their matches, not (just) to cheer but also to observe.
You were fascinated by the different skills and techniques those tennis players have.
One fine day, you asked for a dang rematch when the Nationals ended, after acquiring all the needed information.
Ew, creepy. So Inui. Just kidding.
Yup, he didn't expect it would end up as a draw.
Both of you didn't expect there were people who were watching your match. Let's say his rivals were there.
'So... what now? It's a draw so... It's unfair for me...' you muttered, shaking hands after regaining some energy.
He smirked. 'Mada mada dane.' You rolled your eyes at him and scoffed.
Shamelessly (people were still there), he pulled you to him and hugged you.
He whispered something by your ear, not minding the teasing of...the others.
'You've got ways to go to defeat me in tennis. But I wonder how you defeated me by making me fall for you?'
Blush. Blush.
'I'll treat you to something better than just a Ponta.'
Blush. Blush. Blush. Smile.
'Whatever, you Ponta Freak.'
