Because of the bad rumors spreading about the male’s basketball team, you distanced yourself from them as much as possible. That was until a certain black haired guy came to your classroom during a period when your teacher was on a leave.

The first time you saw him up close, one word that crossed your mind: intimidating. He sure has that strong aura around him that makes you feel like a frightened rabbit.

“Is [Full Name]-san here? Can I speak with her?” the guy politely asked and that was something unexpected on your part, not to mention that you happened to be the person he was looking for.

As your name was mentioned, your classmates turned their looks on your direction. On the other hand, you were staring back at them wide-eyed.

“[Name]-chan, what did you do to Hanamiya-senpai?” your friend/seatmate whispered to you and it was obviously with a worried tone.

“I-I did not do anything…”

Fearing to piss him off because of waiting, you nervously stood up your seat and identified yourself as the person he was looking for then all of a sudden you found yourself being dragged out of the room, his hand wrapped around your wrist. You were trying to keep up with his pace but he’s just too fast.

“Wait!” you yelled. The guy then stopped on his steps.

“What?” he asked you grumpily.

“I should be the one asking you that. What do you need from me?” he heaved down a sigh.

“Starting today, I appoint you to be the basketball club’s manager.”

“…What?” you blinked at him owlishly. His words seemed to be of an unknown language for you for a second. He slammed his palm over his forehead.

“I don’t like to repeat myself. Just come with me.” He began to drag you again.

“Wait!!! Why me??? And I don’t even remember agreeing to this!” you protested.

“Because I said so. I appointed you and I don’t remember asking your opinion about it.” and with that he suddenly threw you up his shoulder and carried you away.

“Wha— Hey! Put me down!” you squirmed and started to hit his back.

“Stay still, stupid! Do you want to fall down?!”

“Hanamiya-senpai, put me down!!!”

“Shut up [Name], you’re disturbing the classes!”

“And whose fault is this in the first place?!”

“Tch. What a troublesome woman you are…” he mumbled under his breath.

The two of you then arrived to the basketball club’s clubroom. Hanamiya then set you back down on your feet.

“Welcome back, Hanamiya.” A guy with black hair and dull black eyes greeted the guy beside you.

“Cap, who’s this cutie beside you?” this time a ginger-haired guy spoke walking towards the two of you. You nervously took small steps backwards to hide behind Hanamiya.

“You’re right…she’s really cute. Hey miss! What’s your name?” a guy with light-colored hair covering his eyes who’s blowing bubblegum said.

You were now feeling uneasy and somewhat scared. After all, you were dragged into a room with unfamiliar and you can say eccentric people. You now unconsciously tugged on the edge of Hanamiya’s jacket.

Unknown to you, Hanamiya seems to sense what you were currently feeling.

“Kazuya, cut it out. You’re scaring the shit out of her.” Hanamiya sternly said to the ‘bubblegum guy’. After he said that, you felt somewhat relieved.

“What’s that supposed to mean?!”

“You guys introduce yourselves to her.” Hanamiya commanded.

“Hara Kazuya. Nice to meet you cutie-chan~” the ‘bubblegum guy’ said to you.

“Yamazaki Hiroshi.” The ‘gingerhead’ said.

“I’m Furuhashi Kojiro and the guy sleeping there is Seto Kentaro.” The ‘dead fish eyes guy’ spoke.

“And as you know, I’m Hanamiya Makoto, the captain and coach of the basketball club. Now, you introduce yourself.”

“I-I’m from First Year A…[Full Name]…Nice to meet you…?”

“Whoa…so you’re a freshman…that’s why you’re so cute…especially your height.” The Hara guy teased.

“Just because you guys are taller than me does not mean I’m short!” you snapped. You had always hated it whenever people point out your petite stature.

“Hara, you made her mad…” the Yamazaki guy teased Hara.

“Okay okay. My bad, [Name]-chan.”

Hanamiya interrupted the fray as he cleared his throat to speak.

“Starting today, she will be our manager. I hope you guys get along with her, and the same goes for you [Name].”
