Ever since the little pep talk Kame gave me she took it upon herself to become my coach in love. Let me just say it was the longest fall break I’ve ever had. But I did get something from all her tormentment. I gained (somehow) some new confidence that I’d never had before.
The following school days I excelled in all my classes and when we were given free time, I would always find myself at the gymnasium entrance, yet never having the courage to open the doors. I couldn’t even talk to Daiki when I saw him at lunch time. I may have courage, but not that much.
I mean, the last time I talked to a boy was when I was when I had talked to Daiki, and even then I spoke very little. I was just so shy, and it wasn’t getting any better. If anything, it was getting worse! However, near the end of middle school, and one of the last basketball games, Kame had secretly bought tickets to the game.
“Why?!” I asked, frantically waving my arms. “Because, I read that if you take a picture of your crush and keep it as your wallpaper, you have a higher chance of going out with them, especially if they have one of you!”
“But that’s only superstition!” Even though that’s what I said, I still had a ping of hope in my heart that this would work. So when we got the game I watched as Daiki dominated the other team and waited, and waited for that perfect moment to take the picture.... And then it happened. He went up to slam dunk the ball and the smile on his face was perfect.... little did I know, it would be one of the last smiles I’d ever see him give.
When entrance exams came around for high school I applied for the one that I’d heard that Daiki was going to. It was called Tōō Academy, and I prayed that when the notice came in that it would say that I got in. Kame applied there as well, and always assured me that with our grades, we were a shoe in to get in. And she was right. When the letter came in I nearly choked on my breakfast.
I ran to Kame’s house to find that she too had gotten in! We both decided to celebrate with a shopping spree! Kame got a purple half sweater, light pink dress with a skinny purple belt, pink flats, pink flower earrings, a necklace with a golden sun on it, and a steel bracelet that had one purple gem on it. I got a whole new wardrobe too. I a blue jacket, black top, blue jeans, black converse, a black headband, silver basket ball earrings, and something that Kame gave me, but I hide under my shirt and then my jacket. It was a necklace that had a silver ace card on it.
I had a feeling that this year was going to be great!
Aomine’s POV
That day, I saw Hinata as I was leaving the building after the game. I almost went after her, but stopped myself. Why had Hinata come anyways? To see me play? Why would she do that? Besides, it’s not like she’s even my type. I guess that feeling I had for her wasn’t even a feeling. Just a stomach virus or something. There just no way I could like her now.
No one can get to me, especially not that girl. If I want to win every game, I can’t let anything distract me. Not even Hinata.
First Day of High School
Hinata’s POV
I yawned, stretched and made my way to the mirror. I examined myself in the mirror and sighed. I’d tried to keep everything about myself the same, but there was something I just couldn’t escape. My mother said I’m built like her mother was when she was young, with a small waist, long legs, and a pair of 40 C's.
