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

CHAPTER 23 - CLASS

I sat at my table as Yukimura's words drifted into my head. My hands trembled as I recalled that person. 'So she...became a regular as well.' I sighed, as I placed my hand on my head. My eyes closed as memories drifted into my head.

"Ayumi! This is the tennis club I attend~" A black-haired girl called out as she dragged a pink-haired- girl into the prestigious tennis club.

The two girls giggled as they entered the courts. People looked at them strangely, as the two fragile looking girls were simply too small compared to the huge tennis bag that they were carrying.

"Coach! This is my friend, Lei Ayumi!" The black-haired girl said as she pushed the female girl in front of her. The pink-haired girl blushed as she bowed down in respect for the coach.

"Ayumi! AYUMI!" A blackboard duster hit my head as I jolted out of my memory lane. I raised my head to see a furious teacher staring at me, as my classmates shot me sympathetic gazes.

"Solve this right now or be prepared to serve a whole-week of detention!" The teacher spat out, angered by this student who was always so ballsy to sleep in her class.

I looked at the question before answering quickly. The teacher looked at the answer booklet before frowning at my answer. She coughed before saying "It's good that you can answer, but stop sleeping in class!"

I nodded my head, as I shook the dirt out my head. The teacher gritted her teeth before continuing her class. 'I purposely took a high-schooler question for her yet she's still able to answer.' The teacher thought as she gripped the book tighter, annoyed at how her plans were foiled.

"Ah. Sensei, your answer for question 4 is wrong. It should be 2a+6b instead of 2a-6b." I lazily answered as I plopped my head down on the table. The chalk that the teacher was using snapped into two, as she looked at question 4.

I walked to the club-room, where our team was discussing the Kanto-tournament. Sipping on my strawberry Fanta, I took a seat beside Marui and Kirihara.

"As all of you know, as the champions of last year's tennis competition, we are able to skip to the semi-finals of the Kanto-tournament. The matchup was just announced, the team in our block who managed to get into the semi-finals is Oura High. For the other block, Seigaku and Hyotei. Although Hyotei is good, Seigaku isn't faring too badly...as they have Tezuka and Fuji." Yanagi informed us, as we nodded our head.

"Although we do not need to worry, I'll inform you about Oura High's participants. They are well-known for using violence and dirty plays that are in the grey area, therefore letting them scramble to the top 4. Not to mention, they also have a female year 2 regular." Yanagi continued, as he clicked on the projector. The regulars turned to me, eyes twinkling as they anticipated that a good show was going to happen.
