Vengeance of the Phantom

Chapter 9

Two In One Day

I collided with someone who was walking in the blind spot of the three-way intersection. Although, I didn't fall down. Probably because Kaho was making me do all the stability and balance exercises for two months straight. The other person however, landed flat on their but with an "Oof."

That sounded familiar.

My shirt was wrinkled and usually rich people care, but I don't. My fashion had improved thanks to Kiki. I was wearing simple grey sweats, white yeezy's, a deep blue jacket over a white shirt. However my hair was messy, bed hair but it looked good, I checked this morning. I do have a piercing, and I have a small black earring. Simple but it meant a lot.

Anyways, I know exactly who fell, but I want to know why she's awake so early. And at school of all places.

"June, why the hell are you here so early?" I asked.

"Geez, you aunt made me come in today so I could fill out some things for the girls basketball club, even though I'm not in it. I'm still so surprised we don't have a boys club, though you'll form that soon enough. Anyways, gotta get this paper from the captain to Auntie. See ya!" June waved running off, "And you don't need luck, but good luck."

I laughed quietly and opened the door actually finding the room I was supposed to go in. We had ten minutes until we would start the exam so I was glad I got here in time. I looked around the class who was full of people being quiet, a few talking, and others studying or on their phones. I was looking around when all of a sudden, I see a familiar red color. Not Akashi red, but a brighter red than his.

No way. Not right now.

The kid moved that was in front of the red head (strange color hair is natural throughout the world), though of course it was dyed. Has been since 3rd grade. All of a sudden I see the face of the shooting guard I've known since we were 2 years old. He actually plays point guard but I always beat him out in that position. He was smiling talking to a few people when he stopped talking and looked my way. His eyes widened and so did mine. All of a sudden his face turned angry, I sat down in the first empty seat I saw, right next to the door.

A woman walked in, I presume the teacher or supervisor of the test. "Alright, everyone in a seat. We'll begin the test after I hand everything out and explain." I could feel the eyes of his burning into the back of my head. Just hand out the test already so I can finished faster and leave.

The woman began calling out our names and got to, "Xzavier Hoose?" She called.

"Here." I could here him grit his teeth. I slowly looked over but as soon as I made eye contact, I looked away.

"Tetsuya...Kuroko?" She sounded confused.

"Here." I said.

Kids began whispering and talking about me. "Silence." Everyone stopped talking and she continued. After all that and after she explained the instructions, she handed out the test and we began.

About 45 minutes later, I was finished. I couldn't focus because I could feel the tension of Xzavier and it was suffocating. I checked over everything for the third time and was satisfied with my answers, I knew every question and knew it was all correct. My aunt did challenge everyone this, this was tougher than other test she had made asking if they were good. She sent me pictures of the exam asking if they were good before she printed them years ago. This year she didn't because I'm taking it. Auntie sure knew she needed to make it more challenging.
