I Want To Play Basketball, Monday
Monday.
When I walked out the door, Ayaka was there again.
She mumbled “I’m sorry” and bowed her head.
And I said,
“I’m sorry about what Marin said to you the other day.”
And walked past Ayaka.
I don’t know why I said that.
If I said something…
If I said something, why didn’t I say that she doesn’t have to do this anymore?
No… maybe that would mean I have forgiven her.
Or it could mean that no matter how much she apologizes, I’ll never forgive you.
Maybe she doesn’t want to think that I… will never forgive her?
Do I want to… forgive…. Ayaka?
I still don’t know.
I can’t answer the question in my head.
If Ayaka stopped coming… I feel like I would never be able to be involved with Ayaka again if this twisted relationship of the morning is cut off, and I wonder… if I want to hold on to her….
I quickened my steps to escape from Ayaka and my feelings.
When I arrived at school and walked into class, some people spoke,
Ehh? Who’s he?
I was amused by their reactions.
And Akifumi said to me, A haircut for a broken heart? Are you a girl? For real!?
I felt lighthearted after having a light talk with Akifumi.
When I took my seat, Yomogi greeted me.
“Sup.”
“Good morning.”
“Thanks for yesterday, ya know.”
“Did everything go okay after I left?”
“She kept on asking me when you are coming next? For like hundreds of times.”
“Hahaha. It’s hard being a popular guy.”
“Yeah, it is.”
Oaa, that made me laugh a little.
“Ahhh, your hair looks good. I forgot to tell you yesterday.”
“Oh-… What took you so long?”
“I donno, I just thought I should tell you.”
Sometimes there is a special event, so LHR is held during the first period on Mondays.
It was time to decide on the events for the ball game tournament to be held next Monday.
For the boys, it was soccer or basketball. Soccer seemed to be the more popular choice, so I got to easily choose basketball.
“Umi, let’s do our best at basketball!”
“Oh, you play basketball too, Akifumi?”
“Huh?! I’m on the basketball club.”
“Ehh!? Really?! Are you a regular?”
“No, only Daichi is a regular in the second year, isn’t he a good friend of yours?”
“Oh, so he’s a regular. He’s good at it.”
He seems to be the next ace of the team.
He’s going to be the president of the club again.
While I was feeling nostalgic, I received a message from Daichi
Daichi: Wanna have lunch together?
Umi: Okay-
Daichi: Okay, I’ll see you at the rooftop for lunch.
Lunch break.
Daichi spoke to me.
“I heard you decided to play basketball at the ball game, right?”
“Did Sorahashi tell you that?”
Did he ask Sorahashi?
“Yep…”
“Did something trigger you?”
“The trigger… well… that day… when I was injured and was out of pace, I started hanging out with the wrong people and assaulted the basketball team.”
“…”
“We were beating up the basketball team members one after another, and it was getting out of hand… and then my mentor, who taught me not to give up, appeared.”
“…”
“So I said with tears in my eyes, ‘Andou-sensei… I want to play basketball…'”
“Oii, are you still going to continue that story?”
“…I’m sorry… I’m at my limit… No, there’s a first year in the photography club named Amemiya who knew me in the past, and said that the reason she started taking pictures in the first place was because she saw me in a game.”
“Hmm.”
“So, she said, she wanted to see me play basketball again, so I said to her that I would play basketball at the ball game.”
“I see. I should be grateful to her.”
“Why?”
“I wanted to see you play too. You don’t take gymnastics and stuff seriously, Umi. And I also miss how you played with your hair..”
“Don’t get your hopes up. If I get selected, I’ll ask you to take it easy on me for my two years of absence, the next ace of the basketball club.”
“I’ll do my best to make sure that the next ace of the basketball club doesn’t lose to the reading club.”
I’d better not show Daichi how pathetic I am.
I’m going to practice today…
Maybe I should send a message to Amemiya…
Umi: I’m going to basketball practice today.
Hibari: I’m coming!
Haha, the reply really was fast.
There I was, smiling naturally.
