*Distant sound of school bells ringing

It was a typical day in Yagami High, students were slowly streaming into school and getting into their classes.

Ishikawa and Asou of class 2-C were walking towards the class after the morning physical training.

"Man, this is tiring...oh well, we have to train hard for the Regionals next month." said Ishikawa as he was dragging his feet to class
"Yeah, it is kinda of tiring I guess." Asou replied, patting his vice-cap on the shoulder.
"Woohoo, feels good to be back in school man, miss all my friends already, especially our class, I think we have bonded a lot during the sports festival, who ever knew that harima can be a good guy also.Oh well, I am soooo looking forward to the cultural festival! Maybe I can make use of this chance to get close to Eri-chan!" Ishikawa exclaimed, getting all hyper thinking abt the girl he had a crush on.
"Indeed, lets still not forget our regionals" replied Asou
"Man, you are no fun..." pouted Ishikawa as they both continued towards the class.


"Konichi... ahhhh!" shouted Ishikawa as he was greeted by a flurry of flying objects as he opened the class door.

"oowwww!! Who threw these stuff! Come out right now!" demanded Ishikawa.

"ehh ishi, i suggest you do not pursue this matter.. *points at something" suggested Asou

"Nani! How can I not bother after someone threw a frigging bunch of stuff at me!! I mean, oh...ok..never mind..." said Ishikawa,*whistles a happy tune as he walks to his seat, after his eyes trailed to where Asou was pointing, to see Lala-chan beating up Imadori.

"Ah, school has started at last, heh, summer sure was boring for me, training almost everyday, oh well, seems like the teacher isn't here yet, time to nap!!" said Ishikawa, as he was smiling happily over the fact that he can take a nap.

After a while, the class of 2-C started streaming in one by one, and in no time, everyone in the class was present, including the all time school deliquent Harima Kenji.

As usual, Ishikawa's 'short nap' lasted all the way till lunch break.

"Oi, time for lunch you lazy bum" said Asou as he nudged Ishikawa awake.
Ishikawa rubs his eyes and looks at his watch. "What! I slept through classes again! Oh man, this is sooo not good, if this continues, I am gonna have crappy results!"
"Eh, you already have crappy results" said the person sitting beside Ishikawa.
"Man, talk about being direct, that hurt my feelings you know!" replied Ishikawa, going all weepy eyes.
"Well, Ace is saying the truth Ishikawa, you better buck up, I cant have my vice-captain being retained and all you know" said Asou rolling his eyes.

An aura of depression hovered over Ishikawa as he laid his head on the table, weeping away.

"Anyway, lets leave Ishikawa alone and go grab something to eat Ace" said Asou.
"Sure thing" replied Ace.
"Nooo!!! Do not leave me alone!!" moaned Ishikawa as he continued to be depressed.
"Adios, Ishi-san" said Asou and Ace
"Fine, hang on, lemme dig out my wallet...ok lets go." muttered Ishikawa.

So Ace, Asou and Ishikawa walked down the corridors towards the cafeteria. Well, Ace and Asou walked, and Ishikawa drifted, still with his aura of depression hanging over his head...

"Say Ace"
"Yeah?"
"You really should come for try-outs, you do have the height and all.."
"Nah, no thanks.."
"Really, you should!"
"No thanks"
"Come on, give it a try."
"Nah..too busy with other stuff"
"Well, ok...haha, one day i WILL get you to come"
"If you insist"

Said Ace and Asou as they were walking, with Ishikawa still wallowing in his depression and muttering to himself
"I must work harder, I must work harder", freaking out all the year 1s who walked by them.



*Ring Ring

"Mushi Mushi?"
"Yo Ishikawa, training is in 1 hour, don't forget"
"Ah ok.."

"So it was all just a dream...oh well..cant wait for school to begin..." said Ishikawa, as he got out of bed and started getting ready to go for training
