"So, how long are we staying there exactly?" Oishi asked.
"At least three weeks" Tezuka said.
"That's long" Oishi said.
"This is a Nathional Camp. All tennis teams around Japan will be there. We will not let the others have this training without us" Tezuka said.
"I know. Sorry" Oishi said.
"So, am I allpwed there?" I asked.
"Well, since you are a substitute, it's okay" Oishi said.
"I see. Well then, i'll go now. I'll be back later" I said before leaving.
"Bye Sakuno chan" Eiji said happily.
I smiled and then went in the building. I went to the girls locker room and changed in to my uniform. I took my bag and went to class. When I got to my classroom, outside my room, girls were all over the place. Looking in to my classroom. After a seconds, I heard Tomos voice.
"Sakuno!" She shouted.
"Tomo chan" she ran to me and grabbed my hand.
"Wait, what's going on?" I asked.
"He's our classmate. The guy from earlier. I didn't know he was that cute" she said.
We went through the group of girls and got in the classroom. Tomo and I tripped on the floor since a girl pushed us in. Good thing I landed not that hard on the floor. But it still hurts.
"Itai" I said.
"Hm. Kimi" I heard. I looked up and founf the guy from earlier looking at me.
"Hai? " I said.
He held out his hand. I looked at his hand, the girls complained. I just started it and kept on thinking if I should take it or not.
"Can't wait forever" he said.
"Eh- Ah- arigatou" I said as he helped me up.
"Thanks for ealier. I was able to get an aplocation form" he said showing me.
"Ah.. that's really nothing. But i'm glad you found her room" I said.
"Um. Jaa na" he said leaving the room. I looked at him as he left the room. The girls gave way as he walked through. I turned bak to Tomo and noticed she was looking at me with wide eyes while smilling.
"What?" I asked.
"He talked to you. Oh my gosh! That was like so nice of him to help you. I mean, he is like the popular boy now. And tomorrow, i'm going to gather all the girls and we're going to make a fan club" she said.
"Really? All of a sudden" I said.
I sat on my seat and took out the peice of paper my grandma gave me. I filled up the form and put it right back in my bag.
"Are you going to join the camp Sakuno?" Tomo asked.
"Yes, I am. My grandma signed me in" I said.
"You're lucky. You get to go where they go without any worries" she said.
"Next time, you can ask grandma to go with us. Maybe she'll say yes" I said.
"Really? Thank you" she said happily.
After a few minutes, the bell rang. The students went back to their seats and we all waited for the teacher.
When the teacher came in, I noticed that the new student wasn't around. I looked around and found an empty seat beside the window next to my row behind me.
