Basketball Break: Ace Player (Author - rhea_ann)

“That was incredible!” Kiyo added.

“Come! I’ll introduce him to you!” Kiminobu said as they walked towards Mitsui who was now dribbling the ball that he just shot.

“Hey! There you go again.” Kiyo overheard Mitsui talking to Takenori as he snatches the ball from him.

“Don’t talk to me like that. We may be leaving the team but I’m still you’re captain.” Takenori answered to Mitsui but he seems not very attentive.

“Yeah! Yeah! You don’t have to tell me. Besides this is just the third time…”

“The third time? That’s the problem with you, Mitsui. You don’t learn.” Takenori scolded at Mitsui that he spits saliva everywhere on the floor.

“Calm down guys, calm down.” Kiminobu stopped the two from arguing.

“Good morning glman!” Mitsui greeted Kiminobu happily. “Gori here can’t control his temper again.”

“I said stop!” Kiminobu said and Mitsui shut his mouth immediately.

“Now, Mitsui, I want you to meet Kiyo Shoshiro!” Kiminobu turned at Kiyo, she extends her hand for a handshake. Mitsui looked at Kiyo with interest and as he stared more closely at her, Mitsui felt thunderstruck. Even though, he reached for her hand and shakes it. He had never seen a very beautiful girl like her and it seems that he doesn’t want to stop staring at her and he wants to shake her hand longer. Kiyo did not notice these and she just smiled.

“She’s Sakuragi’s cousin.” Kiminobu added and Mitsui felt like the world fell on him. He removed his hand immediately from the grip of Kiyo. This is unbelievable. A girl like this is Sakuragi’s cousin? Kiyo is an angel from above and Sakuragi is a red headed monkey and he’s such an idiot. How come she becomes Sakuragi’s cousin.

“It was nice meeting you!” Kiyo said at Mitsui.

“Thank you!” Mitsui answered with a quivering voice. Her voice is so sweet. It’s very pleasant in my ears.

Sakuragi joined them also in their conversation and Mitsui felt miserable that time. He tried to hide that he’s blushing. Sakuragi might notice but then…

“Mitsui? Are you alright?” Sakuragi asked Mitsui when he noticed that he’s acting quite strange. Mitsui stared at Sakuragi for a long time that it makes Sakuragi worry more.

“You’re not in a good condition today.”

“I’m fine.” Mitsui answered immediately and went to a bench to calm himself.

Kiminobu and Kiyo watched him with care, which make Mitsui turned redder. Her eyes, it makes my heart melt. Oh! I wish she quit staring. I can’t stand it.

“You’re not alright!” Sakuragi said loudly that the whole court heard him. The people started to gather around him including Kiyo.

Oh no! Why does she have to come near me? I can’t breath.
