It was just a normal morning like any other. Waking up in my apartment alone. Taking a shower, dressing up for school and actually going to school. I yawned as I passed by other students in Seirin who are going in the same direction as me.

"Hey did you do Mr. Yukio's assignment last night?" said the girl with glasses in front of me.

"Oh no! Dammit! I forgot! Would you let me copy yours?" replied the short-haired girl next to her.

The two started chatting about homework and other project crap. As I just pretended not to listen to their conversation, they brought up a topic that caught my attention.

The glasses girl lowered her voice, " Hey, do you think Michiko's going to confess today?"

"Hmm... I heard she was going to. I hope Hyuuga-senpai takes it easy on her."

Hyuuga-senpai?

"Hyuuga-senpai is nice and a great guy. I just hope that Michiko doesn't get her hopes up. I mean after all, he and

Aida-senpai are a couple."

What?! How come I don't know about this? I mean yes, they're always together, but that doesn't actually mean they're going out and all.

"Yeah. I talked to her and she said she does know that Aida-senpai and Hyuuga-senpai are a thing. But I guess she just wants to come out with her confession so she can move on."

The short-hair widened her eyes, "Wow she's brave. It's going to hurt her you know."

"Yeah. She said that as well. After all, no one said no one is going to get hurt when they fall in love right? At least she's going to let go of something she has been keeping for a long time." said the glasses girl.

The two girls went on about how they wished Michiko good luck and how they were going to meet her after their lessons. We entered the school and I separated myself from the two girls.

Wow, who knew hearing gossip from other students could be this interesting. Well, I guess it's the same when I was in America but still, I mean Coach and Hyuuga-senpai are my friends. I might as well do my own digging to prove that I'm sure.

I remembered that Coach and Hyuuga-Senpai are always together after school and somehow always go directly to the school gym.

Even though we don't have practice on certain days, they always seem to head to the gym all the time. I thought they were just planning some strategics for our next games but...

I didn't want to think what other things they did on the school gym but I just had to confirm for myself what exactly their relationship is!

I was sitting on my usual seat on the last row on the right. I sat on the 4th seat and behind me was Kuroko. As usual , I always stare out the window during our Japanese Literature class. While half of the students paid attention, the other half would just try hard to not fall asleep and others just doodled. Kuroko being the phantom sixth man on our team, his lack of presence on the court also adapts into daily life. So he basically gets away with during classes that bore the hell out of him. While I always get reprimanded by teachers for sleeping and drooling on the paper handouts. Today I didn't feel like sleepy at all for some reason. The rumor i heard from those two girls this morning occupied my mind.

I stared at the window blankly. From my window, it overlooked the football field we had. I decided to observe the people on football field. It looks like the second years are having a football lesson today. I see Hyuuga-senpai at the edge of the court cleaning his glasses and in front of him is Kiyoshi-senpai and Izuki-senpai. After a while they started to talk. I started to observe Hyuuga-senpai's looks.

Hyuuga-senpai is quite handsome. I mean even with the glasses, he looks great in them. No wonder that girl, what was her name? Michiko like him. I wonder where she's going to confess.

And as if on cue, a girl with long light blonde hair approaced Hyuuga-senpai.

Hmm... That couldn't be...

Hyuuga-senpai looked at the girl. He seemed to have said hi. The girl started talking and looked down. I adjusted myself to see her face, she seemed to be... blushing? I looked at Hyuuga-senpai and he seemed to be confused. It was certainly written in his face that he didn't have an idea what was about happen. I see him nodding his head and the girl turned around walked away, Hyuuga-senpai followed.

Oh my God. This is happening now?

I see them heading back inside of the school.

So they're probably going at the shoe lockers huh? Damn... this is wrong but...

"Sensei! May I please be excused?" I shouted aloud. I seemed to have said it so loud that the most of my classmates where looking at me startled. Whoa, everyone must have been really off to dreamland. Mr. Suzuki our Japanese Lit. teacher also looked puzzled.

"Ohh...umm... Go ahead Kagami-kun."

I stood up instantly and walked quickly to the door. As I was out, I immediately ran.

Good thing our classroom is just above the shoe lockers. I may be able to catch up with them!

As I reached the stairs, I tiptoed. I wasn't going to take any chances of them catching me sneaking up on them. I reached the last step then I heard faint voices. It seemed to have been coming on the left side of the shoe lockers. I slowly walked and followed the faint voices. My big body wasn't helping me with my movements.

Ugh. Sometimes I wish I was Kuroko. Hmm?

The voices became clearer as I approached the 5th shoe locker I passed.

"Uuumm... Hyuuga-senpai... I um... I LOVE YOU!"

WOW. She really put it bluntly huh?

I lowered by body and squatted behind the lockers. And listened slowly to them. From the silence I'm getting, it seemed that Hyuuga-senpai is quite taken aback.

"Uhmm.." Hyuuga-senpai was speaking now. "T-thanks. I really appreciate your feelings for me. I don't want to assume but... You're the one who has been leaving gifts at my shoe locker last week?"

The girl cleared her throat. Her voice was light and small. Very feminine. "Y-yyes... Senpai. I hope it doesn't annoy you. I-i-i...just really... l-l-like you... T-that's why..." she replied.

Damn. She's nervous. She's surely stuttering.

"Thank you so much Kondou-san..."

Kondou Michiko... I heard that name yeah, she's in the other class. She's classmates with Furihata.

Hyuuga-senpai continued. " B..but... I...I... I have someone already... I'm really sorry..."

The girl made a silent noise.

Man she's so hurt...

"Uu..umm... S-s-enpai... I-i-i h-h-ope we ca-an still be- f-fr-friends..." Michiko said. It looks like she was holding back herself from crying.

I poked my head out slightly so I can see them. I can see Hyuuga-senpai's back view and Michiko slightly. She looked really red. Her eyes all watery. Hyuuga-senpai patted Michiko's shoulder and spoke, "Of course we can. I'm really happy someone feels this way for me. I-i-m really sorry Kondou-san..."

Michiko looked up, "No no no! i-i-it's not your fault Hyuuga-senpai..."

" I hope we can chat together next time. I need to look out for my kouhai you know." Hyuuga-senpai chuckled.

Michiko smiled. "Th-thank you so much senpai!" She suddenly looked down. "Uu-um.. I'm sorry senpai. B-but... Can I a-ask one f-favor? I-i-if it's alright?"

"Anything Kondou-san. What is it?"

"M-m-may I hold your h-h-hand?"

I assumed Hyuuga-senpai smiled since I could see the side of his cheek slightly forming smile lines. Hyuuga-senpai held out his hand. Michiko held it with both of her hands. She bowed.

"Senpai... T-t-thank you for appreciating my feelings. I wish you best of luck with your game next month... A-and also t-to... that someone you l-l-love..."

A teardrop fell from her eyes. Michiko quickly let go of her hand. "Uu-uhhm... I have to go now s-senpai." She turned around and dashed up the stairs.

Hyuuga-senpai inhaled and exhaled deeply. "Hah~ I hope she's going to be okay..." He reacher for his back pocket and took out his cellphone and pressed buttons. He put the phone onto his ear. I could hear the faint sound of the ringing.

I wonder who's he calling...

The phone clicked and Hyuuga-senpai spoke, "Riko? U-uhmm... I'm sorry did you have class?"

WHAAAAAT?! COACH?

"Oh you had a break. I see... Um... Meet me at the gym later at lunch? I need to talk to you..." Hyuuga-senpai paused for a moment. "Thanks... See you later... Bye."

UGH... This is bad. But... I just need to know what's going on between them... Damn. I feel like freaking gossip girl right now!

As I was pondering over how much of an idiot I am for eavesdropping onto someone else's business, I headed back to our classroom. As I entered, Mr. Suzuki was already gone. Ms. Sasaki replaced him and that's I knew it was time for the next class. Ms. Sasaki noticed my presence and motioned me to return to my seat.

"Alright class, Take out your English textbooks. Today we're gonna do some reading comprehension."

On cue, the students grabbed their books and I sat back to my seat and grabbed my bag to get the text book. I then felt someone poking me behind my back. I turned around, it was Kuroko.

"Where did you go, Kagami-kun?" he asked staring at me blankly.

"Oh, to the bathroom of course..."

"Where you taking a shit?"

"WHAT THE HELL?!" I realized my mistake there. I shouted again. Unlike Mr. Suzuki, Ms. Sasaki was very strict in regards of making noise in the classroom.

"OI! KAGAMI-KUN! Please answer the first question!"

I rubbed my temples. "I swear Kuroko..."

I stood up and answered the question. But really, my mind was elsewhere. I remembered what I heard from one of Michiko's friends this morning.

After all, no one said no one is going to get hurt when they fall in love right?

As I sat back down to my seat, I pulled out my phone and sent a text to someone familiar to me. A friend and my rival.

To: Ahomine

Oi, Do you have practice later? I was wondering if you could meet up with me at Maji Burger later.

I exhaled and stared at the black board blankly that was written in English phrases. Then suddenly my phone vibrated.

From: Ahomine

Sure. I'll text you once I get off from school. Miss me Bakagami? (3)

UGGHHH... Seriously?! When is this fool going to be serious for once?

Everyone! Welcome to my AoKaga fic. Sorry for this excruciatingly long chapter. But I hope you all like it. Don't worry, at the next chapter, I'll make sure I'll include some more Aomine and Kagami moments :)

If you have any suggestions and tips so I could write better, please leave a comment. I will definitely take them into consideration!

Anyways, have a happy day everyone :D
