Wait, is that Taiga?

"Taiga?" I called out.

Everyone stared at Kagami and me.

"Katsumi? Is that you?" he responded, looking shocked.

"Yeah, I'm Katsumi. My hair grew longer, too." I smiled, twirling strands of my brown hair. It's a been a year since I saw him! We were classmates, before. Or bestfriends? Nevermind.

I'll show you.

"Can I hug you?" I asked, with puppy eyes.

Without waiting a respond, I hugged him.

"Uh..!" He stuttered.

I smirked, without them seeing.

I felt his heartbeat grow faster.
Eh? Does he like me? Well let's find out.

"Ne, Taiga. Do you like someone?" I asked, letting him go of my embrace.

His body stiffened when he heard me.
He looked around, only finding his team mates staring at us.

"U-Um... I d-don't know..." he stuttered, blushing furiously.

"Okay, nevermind." I coldly said, brushing him off.

"Your eyebrows didn't change at all." I chuckled, breaking the tension.

"Oi!" He mouthed.

I walked toward a tall boy, with thick eyebrows.

"Mitobe Rinnosuke, isn't it?" I questioned him.

He nodded.

"He dislikes talking, but I can understand him!" A cat-like boy exclaimed and appeared out of nowhere, making me jump a bit.

"I'm Kogane Shinji, yoroshuku!" he bowed.

"Yoroshukune~" I grinned.

Looking back at the silent boy, he was making gestures.

"He is asking why do you know Kuroko and Kagami." Kogane-kun said.

"Well for Kagami, he's my best friend, back in the States." I affirmed, giving a short glance at Taiga.

'Oh's' filled the air.

"And for Kuroko, we met in  Teiko, before moving outside the country." I said, sighing a bit.
I only studied in Teiko for one year.

Talking about Teiko brings back memories. How nostalgic.

"Do you play basketball?" A brown haired boy asked, looking down at his feet.

The word 'basketball' made me flinch.

"Eh?" I muttered, with a blank gaze.

I hate basketball.

"I'm sorry for not introducing myself! My name is Furihata Kouki." he sheepishly said.
