' Hey Ryu, what took you so long ? and .. Isn't that Chizuru ? Why are you with her ? Don't tell me ... ' , Renji gave me that look like as if me & Chizuru were together.

' Nonsense, we ain't together. However it was you... OUCH! ' Chizuru pinched my arm .

' It was me what .. ? '

' Nothing much actually . Er, ain't we here to play basketball ? '

' Yeah, next team. Next turn are ours. Chizuru, you want to play too ?

'' Nah, ' I answered Renji before Chizuru does, ' She just woke up, you don't want her to lose the match for us yea? '

I whispered into Chizuru's ears, ' You better not play, you don't want to end up fainting again. Sit over at the bench there. ' She gave me a disappointed look before she headed for the bench.

Sigh, that bench, was the usual bench that we loved most..

' Ryu! Our turn now. Get ready. ' Renji shouted.I patted on Chizuru's head before I left her. During the match, every minute, every second, if I'd had the chance, I'd steal a look of Chizuru. However, each and everytime I did so, her eyes are always on Renji.

' Game set ! ' , Renji said as he shot in a beautiful 3-pointer . Chizuru clapped happily and cheering for Renji's beautiful shot and our team's victory.

Chizuru went over to Renji with a tissue on her hands, ' Here, let me help you. ' ' It's okay, I can wipe my sweat myself ' Renji rejected Chizuru's kind offer.

As Renji walked over to where he put his bags, I saw Chizuru feeling dejected. I tried to cheer Chizuru up by teasing her, ' It's okay Chizuru, even though Renji don't need your help. You can still help me.
'' Tsk, go away! " , Chizuru stepped on my foot and stuck her tongue out.

I smiled , while in my heart, I knew I was nothing to her ...

It was 7pm and we all decided to go home. I sent Chizuru to her doorstep as I didn't want her to faint on her way back home without anyone realising, only when I was beside her, I could ensured her to be safe and sound.

Around 7.30pm, on my way back home, Renji called me.' Hey Ryu, I broke up with Nozumu already.

'' What happened ?! " , I was shocked, I did not expect them to break at all .

' She is an idiot, total retard. Just because I forgot to leave a message when I reached home, she made a big fuss about it. How petty right ? ' I could tell that he was feeling pretty pissed off at that time.

' Well, sorry to hear about it. ' , I replied .

' Don't be. She's a slut. I also heard about her kissing Hiro in a True and Dare game. What the hell. I'm glad I broke up with her because it's impossible to continue a relationship with a slut! ' , he sounded really enraged.

*****

After that phone call, I thought about it a lot. Because after Chizuru get to know about Renji's break up, she would really tried to attract Renji's attention. And who knows, Renji might also got attracted and both of them, living happily ever after ? ...And that really did happened...
