Of tennis and love ( PRINCE OF TENNIS YUKIMURA SEIICHI FF )

CHAPTER 3 - Meeting Kirihara Akaya

"Lei Ayumi. Nice to meet you." I introduced myself again with a slight bow. I was in another class for English, and you had to make new friends here again.

It was troubling for me, as this meant that I had to make more effort to introduce yourself to the class and find a few friends.

"Lei-san, take a seat beside Kirihara-kun. You can share a book with him, but remember to purchase yours soon." The teacher gestured, pointing at a seaweed haired boy, who was scribbling on his paper. At the call of his name, he looked up raising his hands.

I walked over and took a seat, as I glanced at what he was drawing. The art style was similar to the other girl I knew.

I was staring into blank space, as the English homework was too easy for me. I was dreaming of the different sweets that were offered in the school canteen, and my seat-mate was dozing off.

"KIRIHARA-KUN! ARE YOU SLEEPING IN MY LESSON? WHAT'S THE ANSWER TO QUESTION 4B? DETENTION IF YOU GIVE THE WRONG ANSWER." The teacher screeched, jolting awake the sleeping boy beside me.

"Er..." He responds, not knowing what the answer was. He glanced around, as he took in a huge gulp, tiny sweat beads rolling down his forehead. I pitied him, writing a 'they' on a piece of paper before pushing it to him.

He looks at the paper before replying, "The answer is 'they'!" The teacher nods his head in approval as he turns around facing the board.

Kirihara turns to face me, eyes glimmering. "Thanks for saving me just now. I'm Kirihara Akaya the genius of our tennis club. Nice to meet you, what's your name!" He whispers proudly, offering you a handshake.

Another person related to the tennis club? What's with fate bringing all these tennis-related people to you? Was it a sick joke by God? I mused as I gave him a small fake smile-

"Lei Ayumi, nice to meet you."
