[Black Basket] Flowers Bloom That Year

I didn't have any special friends since I was a child.

When I was a child, I was also very distressed, why no one came to me to go shopping with me after school, or to discuss which roadside stalls were delicious.

Then one time, I overheard several people discussing themselves.

"Shall we go with He Gong?"

"No need, He Gong will definitely not go."

"Yes, yes, I approached her once before, but she refused when she said she wanted to go home and practice dancing."

"Yes, I heard her grandmother and mother are both dancers."

"She will definitely not go with us."

When I've been alone for a long time, I don't care whether there is anyone around me.

However, looking at the sweet girl smiling beside me, I felt helpless.

The person in front of him was named Momoi Mayzuki.

She is a beautiful girl with a cute appearance, uh, and a good figure.

"Asakusa, let's go to the rooftop for lunch at noon today."

"No, and we don't know each other well, so don't call me by my name."

I coldly refused, but I regretted it as soon as I said it, idiot, you obviously want to go, don't you! !Fool!Fool!

"Well, then let's go to the cafeteria, that's it, Asakusa."

Looking at Momoi who hastily returned to his seat after speaking, I suddenly felt that, in fact, going to the cafeteria to eat is also very good.

"Momoi, why me? Why have you been pestering me these days?"

I expressed my doubts, but at the same time, I kept scolding myself in my heart, why did I speak so bluntly, what if someone is sad? ! !

"Because, I want to be friends with Asakusa-chan. Speaking of narcissism, because I am very popular among boys, I have never had any female friends, and I am always alone, so that day when you smiled and lent me the umbrella , I am really surprised and happy, so I must be friends with you."

Looking at Momoi's curved eyebrows, for some reason, I suddenly felt that this girl was actually so cute.

"Then, please teach me more in the future, May."

I stretched out my hand, and the girl on the other side was obviously taken aback, and then took my hand.

"Well, Asakusa."

The girl's previous friendship seemed so simple, May and I became good friends.

They will be partners in physical education class, have lunch together at noon, and go shopping together on weekends.

I also know that May has a childhood sweetheart named Qingfeng Dahui, who is very dark and tall.

I also know that May is the manager of the basketball team and is very good at data analysis.

That day, I found May's notes on the table. After thinking about it, I picked up the notebook and planned to send it to her.

I haven't been to the basketball club, but I can easily know the location by asking anyone.

The door of the basketball department was not closed. I stood at the door and looked inside.

It was this one glance that made my heart beat faster.

The red-haired boy jumped over the two defenders, turned around, took off, shot, and scored.

The flowing movements let me know that playing basketball can be as elegant as dancing.

Standing firmly after landing, Akashi seemed to notice me and walked towards me.

"What's the matter with you?"

The boy's voice was as gentle as it was three months ago.

But before I could speak, I was interrupted by May's voice.

"Asakusa, why are you here? Akashi-kun, this is my friend, Kazumiya Asakusa."

"Hello."

"Hello."

"Ah, by the way, May, here are your notes, which are left on the table."

I handed the note to Wuyue, but unconsciously glanced at the boy not far away.

"Ah, thank you."

He smiled at May, nodded again in Akashi's direction, and turned to leave.

When I left the gymnasium, I didn't hear what everyone said about me later.

I remember that that day and the beginning of May was because I lent my umbrella to May. Unexpectedly, the world turned around. Today, it was my turn to not bring an umbrella.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, it is obviously not suitable to go home in the rain.

I looked at my watch again, ah, it's almost six o'clock, I didn't expect that I just stayed in the library for a while, and it turned out to be this time.

Looking discouraged at the cloudy sky, he couldn't help puffing up his cheeks slightly.

"That, and Gongsang."

This voice is...

"Akashi-kun?!"

I looked at the boy standing in the rain with an umbrella in front of me, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It's so late, isn't Akashi-kun home yet?"

I said it reluctantly, but saw the young man with a smile in his eyes, and cursed myself inwardly, what a stupid question!

"Yeah, I'm going home soon, if you don't mind, I'll see Gong Sang for a while."

"Eh?! Can you?"

I was quite surprised by the boy's words. I didn't expect Akashi-kun to say that he would send me off?

"Well, my family's car should be waiting outside, and I'll lend this umbrella to He Gongsang first."

Akashi's voice was very cold, but to me at that time, it was extraordinarily warm.

"Then trouble Akashi-kun."

After finishing speaking, I hugged my schoolbag and hid under the umbrella.

The umbrella is not small, but it is still not big enough for two people to fight. Looking at the boy's right shoulder that was wet by rain, I felt that somewhere in my heart became extraordinarily soft.

Akashi got into his family's car, and I headed home with his umbrella.

I explained the reason to my mother, and my mother didn't say much, just told me to take a break, change clothes, and practice dancing.

The next day, I asked Momoi which class Akashi was in. I found out that the boy was in Class B of the first year, but I didn't dare to look for him in the class. As a result, I had to wait until after school and asked Momoi to hand it over to him.

I don't know what kind of feeling this is, but since then, I especially like the physical education class on Wednesday, because it is a class that our class and Class B take together.

I also started to go to Momoi often, and sometimes I would bring some baked biscuits for the team members, sit on the rest chair, watch the team members running around but my eyes often followed the red.

Momoi often said that I was almost half a manager, and I just smiled.

I don't know basketball, even after watching it for so long, I barely know what PG, SG, and PF are. However, I know that Akashi's birthday is December 12, his jersey is number 20, and he likes tofu. Hate red ginger and wakame.

I will be very happy to see Akashi, and I will be very excited to know that he won the game. I think this is the so-called liking.

Time seemed to pass quickly. From the second grade, I knew that Akashi’s jersey had changed to number [-]. I knew that Momoi seemed to like the boy Kuroko Tetsuya on the team very much. I knew that a boy named Kise Ryota joined the team. The teenagers who knew them were called the generation of miracles.

Momoi asked me more than once if there was anyone I liked, and I shook my head and said no. Seeing her disbelieving expression, I always had to repeat it several times before she would give up.

I didn't know what to do, I watched Akashi cautiously, pretended not to care, got a little bit of information from Momoi, and jumped for joy.

Then, watching him achieve two consecutive championships in the middle school basketball league, I still watched quietly from the sidelines. In addition, due to my mother's urging, I gradually reduced the number of times I went to the tennis club and increased the time for dancing practice.

The days so peacefully rose to the third grade.
