KNB 9: 1 on 1

Opinons on the new cover?

---------------------

♔Charlie's POV♔

I blinked, hard. Not another one. I sunk to my knees as my hands pressed against either side of my head trying to force myself to remember the stranger.

"Char what are you doing. Are you okay. Oh sh*t dude you don't look to good."

I got up and picked up the ball he was holding out to me.

"1 on 1?"

"Fine but don't expect me to go easy. I've gotten better since the last time we played."

The last time? I was hoping to remember him by doing this.

He grabbed the ball and electricity seemed to radiate from his body, and as he bounced the ball I watched him enter the zone.

I placed both my hands at my sides and closed my eyes, I pulled off my sweat bands and bracelets.

"40% unlock." I muttered as I waited for the boy to make his move.

I felt the whoosh of air as he tried to run around me and snapping open my eyes I grabbed the ball from where he was dribbling past me and before he could realise what I was doing I was running to the goal and dunking.

"You really haven't changed much." He grunted and wiping his brow he picked up the ball and yet again tried to pass me.

This time I let him and at the moment he believed he had passed me and let his guard down I stole the ball and shot a 3 pointer. My head throbbed and memories seemed to flash past my eyes.

Those two boys had always seemed like twins to me. They had friendship rings and played together. I had always been jealous of their happiness just to be able to play basketball and not have to be the best.
I always stood or sat to the side analysing their plays and trying to find what made them so happy. Until one day the better of the two, the one with more raw potential told me to play in his team. We won.
We were close until he left for Japan and never contacted me.
Kagami Taiga.

I stopped. The ball dropped from my fingers and bounced on the floor, until it rolled away. My fingers scrunched together and without saying a word I grabbed my weights, ran to my bike and rode off leaving my abandoned basketball and once friend behind.

I rode until I got to the school where I jumped off my bike, grabbed my rucksack and ran to the gym.

No one was there and I fell to my knees. My breathing was coming out too fast and my eyes were loosing focus, my heart was hammering at my chest. I have had panic attacks since Kagami left but never this bad.

My throat began to close up and I reached for my bag, trying to grab my water bottle full of alcohol. When I did I finished it in mere seconds and the burn at the back of my throat was the only thing stopping me from tearing my hair out.

I was sick of being useless, sick of being exceptional, sick of my stupid memory. I don't even know how it ended up this way, with me having selected memories kept and the rest locked away in a jar I was only able to access through basketball.

I remembered everything about basketball and my studies. I remembered my close friends and my past years of living in America. Stupid memories. Stupid accident. Stupid family. Stupid Taiga.

Why couldn't I just be normal: all the normal girls are happy.

I sat up and crossing my legs I dreamt of a normal life. A perfectly normal life, were I went to school like everyone else and had real friends.

"Char-cchi, why are you here?" I looked up at Kise who was in his basketball kit whilst towel drying his hair in the doorway of the gym.

I shrugged, my backpack lay open it's contents spilt over the floor of the gym and the water bottle was next to me. With slow and deliberate movements I packed all my stuff in bag and walked to the side of the gym where I slid down the wall and sat with my back on it.

I pulled out a book and opened it.

"Char-cchi don't ignore me. Why are you here?"

"Am I not in the basketball team?"

"Well yes but I thought you were having a break."

"Breaks are for the weak."

"Akashi-cchi would kill you if he heard you say that."

"I'd like to see him try." I smirked and watched as Kise came to sit next to me, his towel now in his hand. He picked up a damp strand of my hair and then he dropped his towel on my head and proceeded to dry my hair.

"Ry stop it you don't need to. I don't get ill easily."

"But it smells funny and looks funny because some of it is wet and some not."

"Why are you here Ry?"

"I was interfering with the training because apparently I was being too lovey dovey with kuroko-cchi."

I laughed, but stopped when my head started to throb and asked,

"What are you a couple?"

"Have you not seen it?"

"Seen what?"

Someone cleared their throat and standing in the doorways was Akashi. The miniature version of a devil.

"Ryouta you were sent here as punishment not to dry a girls hair and then proceed to hit on her."

"If he was trying to flirt then it was getting him nowhere." I winked at Kise and the proceeded to open my book and read.

"Charlie I don't appreciate your input."

I pulled a face and he shot a glare at me.

"I just saw my life flash past my eyes and it was boring." I coated my words in sarcasm and yawned at Akashi.

"Ryouta set up the gym for practice and Charlie. You will be dealt with later."

Akashi strode out of the gym.

"Charlie you will be dealt with later by my minions of darkness." I imitated making sure to annoy Akashi.

I watched as Kise got the gym ready as I read my book.

"Ry what have I not seen?"

He looked at me and gulped,

"Nothing it was stupid."

"No. It wasn't. Tell me."

"I think you would need to ask Akashi-cchi."

I rolled my eyes and carried on reading, what was the team hiding from me? I would definitely find out.
