“i don’t get why you don’t join the team this year..it’s our last year anyway” your friend said as you both walked to class “you were one of the best players at our middle school and it’s not like you stopped playing you still work out” your friend shrugged as you rolled your eyes

“i just don’t feel like it” you’d scoff…but deep down you knew why every time someone asked you the memory would play..during the summer before your freshman year at a tournament you’d heard of a single player shutting out a whole team on his own. Curious you’d go to watch only to see a young Daiki playing his demeanor cold and you knew…he was a beast..feeling cocky after his game you’d challenged him…losing was a nice way to put it but something Daiki said that day stuck with you…”id stick to amateur leagues…” he’d scoff at you “i doubt you’d be useful on the court in a real game” he said before he left..since that day you’d given up playing an actual game now in Highschool Daiki was the star player at To’ou

“come on that’s like your thing” Your friend shrugged as you walked into homeroom and you both took your seats midway through roll Daiki would come walking in sitting by you as your friend continued to babble about you playing basketball

“like you’d make the team…” he’d mumbled under his breath
