2. Incompatible [Midorima Shintarou]

After seeing how I recalled an entire match after seeing it once and analysed the moves and skills of the players, Otsubo senpai insisted that I should join the basketball team as a manager since the post was currently vacant.

My school, Shutoku High had a strong basketball team and they were known as the king of veterans since they made it into the nationals every year- but that was as far as my knowledge went about my own high school basketball team. I went to see one or two of their matches and that was it. I was way too lazy to join a club; and a sports club at that as a manager when I hated hard working more than anything.

Otsubo senpai was a senior I greatly respected so it wasn't possible for me to decline his earnest request. So, during lunch break after I finished eating my lunch, I found myself standing in front the gym instead of dozing off in my empty classroom like I usually do; gawking at the almost twenty boys who were shuttle running inside the gym and looking like as if they were on their last breath.

Being a laid back person to the bone, I was instantly scared of seeing such a sight before my eyes and took a step back cautiously. Before I could make a run for it and never look back again, I heard a familiar booming voice call out my name.

Once I looked back I saw Otsubo senpai grinning and waving at me enthusiastically.

And after that there was no looking back. I sighed and walked inside.

"Coach, she's the one I told you about." Otsubo senpai literally gushed at the older man who was looking at me.

I bowed and introduced myself.

After the coach asked me a few things about basketball and some questions to judge my strategy making abilities, I officially became the manager of the team.

The players introduced themselves and there were three third year and two first year players on the regular team and both of the first years were from my class.

"I never knew you were interested in basketball." Takao said addresseing me.

"I wasn't and still not but Otsubo senpai here thinks I have great abilities or something so he made me join the team." I explained, already feeling exhausted by explaining all this stuffs.

"Sure, you do. Be more confident!" Otsubo senpai encouraged me and seeing his determined face I didn't have the heart to tell him that the problem wasn't with my level of confidence but it was my lack of interest.

"In my opinion, taking in someone who's not fully devoted to basketball as a manager will not bring us the best results nanodayo." Midorima said, pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his taped fingers.

"Oh shut up, you Oha-asa freak!" I scowled and felt immense pleasure when I saw his veins popped in annoyance. "I don't think the first years have any say in these decisions, idiot."

"Who are you calling idiot nanodayo?!"

Midorima glared at me while Takao almost fell down from laughing too much.

"Oh, she's good!" Miyaji senpai came up to me grinning and pat me on my back. "You know these two?" He asked pointing at Midorima and Takao.

"Unfortunately, yes," I shrugged. "The zodiac freak and the prankster. They are in my class."

"I told you million times to stop calling me such vulgar names nanodayo!" Midorima said angrily.

"I don't think you told me million times."

"It's just a figure of speech, baka!"

Takao just kept laughing in the background as the tall green haired boy and I kept bickering back and forth.
