Momoshiro Takeshi//The key to my lock\\17

Recap: Tennis is WAAYY easy.

..................................................

I experimented with different hits, sometimes giving it extra topspins or backhand spins and alternating between right and left hands, literally sending the ball rolling all over the wall. Hn. Not VERY useful, I decided, unless you hit it to the net or something

"SUGOI Shinera!! How'd you do that?" I heard Momo's voice somewhere behind me. I turned around to see all the regulars, like this morning, behind me.

"Huh?"

"You're making the ball roll everywhere nyaa~!" Eiji span round and glomped me again.

"Eiji... Not again." I gasped for the third time that day. Hyper kid. It's not like HE can't do it HIMSELF.

"Eiji, get down of her." I heard Oishi say, for the second time that day.

"AWWW~~! I want a piggyback nyaa~!" Eiji pouted.

"I'll give you one if you'll stop holding on to my neck."

"Ah! Gomen gomen! YOSH! I get a piggyback!" He got down only to jump back onto my back again. Well, at least he isn't HANGING on my NECK.

"Get down Eiji. She's a girl, you know." Oishi had a tiny note of finality in his voice.

"AWWW~~! She agreed to piggyback nyaa~!"

"It's really okay, Oishi. He isn't that heavy anyway."

"See? She said okay nya!" He gave Oishi a cheesy grin and a peace sign. Because he let go of one hand, I felt him slide down one side, so I jumped to balance both sides.

"Wow she can still jump?" I heard someone say. Maybe Taka-san?

"Why not? He's so light." I jumped some more, then ran a few rounds around all of them.

"I'm LIGHT? Even Oishi says I'm heavy nya." Eiji said groggily. I guessed he was giddy or something because I ran so many circles around them.

"Yeah..." Everyone gaped at me, even Inui, before he returned to his book.

"And you're not even giddy nya." Eiji wobbled off me. I glanced around me. Isn't this like normal? All of them were staring at me like I'm weird or something. But you ARE weird, a small voice in me said. OK besides the fact that I really AM weird.

"Hey! I'm hungry! Wanna go eat burgers?" Momo called out.

"Yeah! I'm hungry too nyaa~!"

"Let's all go then!"

"YEAH! Let's go!" I started walking, and they followed.

After a while...

God they really walk SLOW. I was already in front of them. WAAAYYY in front of them.

"Hey! Shiny-chan! Slow down nya. You really walk fast!"

"It's her normal speed. Just, whatever you do, don't try running with her." Momo whispered the last sentence into Eiji's ear.

"Heard that!" I shouted loudly from in front. Momo sweatdropped.

"Nya? That's your normal speed? Then how fast do you run?" Eiji was curious.

"Race me then!"

"Oh gosh you really don't want to Eiji."

"Nya come on Momo, it won't hurt

"Fine then."

"NYA~!! Race you to that tree!" He pointed to some random tree some 50m++ away.

"Right. 1...2...3.. GO!" We counted, and off we sprinted.

I kept neck and neck with Eiji for about half the way just to keep him happy, then I ran off in front of him.

"First!" I slammed into the tree.

"Nyaa~! You're really fast!" Eiji touched about 5 seconds later than me.

"Nah. You're the slow one."

"See! I told you not to race with her. She beat me flat too." Momo came into the picture.

"Oh? She beat Momo too? Wow..." Eiji's jaw fell. I saw Inui writing stuff down in his green notebook.

Some tennis players. And I wasn't even sprinting. I shrugged on my bag. And he wasn't carrying his bag like I did.

When we reached the burger place, Momo and Ryoma ordered almost a dozen burgers, as usual, I ordered three, as usual, and the rest ordered one, as usual.

"Wow! You can really eat nya!"

"Hn." I downed my last burger.
