Seijuro went out into the school corridor. He stretched his neck and slung his bag over his shoulder. Classes were over, and the captain of the school basketball team was heading to club activities with measured steps. In the corridor, he noticed Aya Watanabe; the girl transferred only this year from a weaker school and at first lagged far behind in her studies, but in the last exams she beat Akasha, who is among the best students. Of course, a young representative of the noble Seijuro family must become the best in everything in order to be worthy of his surname. If he suddenly starts to lag a little behind in his studies, he can forget about basketball. Men's shoulders in the Seijuro family have always had a great responsibility: the owners of these shoulders had to succeed in all spheres, be natural leaders. Undoubtedly, there should be appropriate women next to such men. Such as Seijuro Akashi's mom - Ayane Seijuro. They say that behind every man there is an even stronger lady. Everything that the captain's father has was achieved thanks to her. At the same time, Ayane always looked great, for many she was the standard of femininity. She died young when her son went to high school, and her father never married again. He gave all his love to his son, but at the same time, Seijuro Jr. did not expect indulgences.
Despite his popularity among girls, Akashi is in no hurry to start a relationship. He knows that he still has everything ahead of him, and looks at the numerous female fans with respect, but without romantic interest.
Aya Watanabe... She is especially good in English - she has the first line in the rating and the maximum score. The girl studies in a parallel class with Akashi, and, compared to other students of the parallel, Seijuro intersects with her quite often. Aya also often appears at training, towards the end, to go for Murasakibara and go home together. Akasha couldn't find out anything else special about her. Although, after she beat him in the exams in all subjects, he would like to.
-Hello! - he greeted Watanabe.
- Hi ... - the girl answered quietly, abruptly lowering her eyes to the floor.
Seijuro has noticed for a long time that Aya does not particularly like to communicate with peers. More precisely, he hadn't seen her ever talk to anyone other than the giant Atsushi.
- Aya Watanabe, right? Isn't that your maximum score in English? - with the same indifference or hypocrisy in his face that accompanies him in life, the basketball player asked.
Aya beamed with happiness.
- Yes, my mother is a translator, and I have been studying English since childhood. I went on business trips with her, I talked with native speakers there. Thanks to this, I have a good pronunciation and a good perception of English speech by ear. Well, the basic rules of the language somehow already by themselves... How to say it... Got a trailer, or something...
- Not bad. Very good indeed. Can I ask you to help me with English? By the way, I didn't introduce myself. I am Seijuro Akashi. Nice to meet you.
Aya looked at the captain not without delight. His ease and openness in communication were amazing. He was so full of confidence. How can you refuse to help such a cool guy?
- Yes, of course. - looking at the floor out of embarrassment, and putting one hand on the other, Watanabe replied.
Come on, you're coming to practice for Atsushi today, right? Then we'll discuss everything.
The girl was like an electric shock. She didn't think that such a popular athlete at school as Akashi Seijuro would notice her.
- Yes, I will definitely come, of course!
- Okay, I'll see you again.
Seijuro continued down the corridor with his confident gait. Aya looked up from the floor and looked after Akashi. The guy went to training with a sense of accomplishment. If Akashi was used to women's attention and did not think about possible problems in communicating with girls, then Aya, who had just transferred, finally exhaled when Seijuro disappeared around the corner. She was very nervous during the dialogue with him, but at the same time she had long wanted to talk to this popular captain of a basketball team so famous not only at school, but also in the city.
- Is the new girl familiar with Akashi? Do they communicate? - women's voices were heard to the side.
Lowering her head, Aya ran to the classroom. Sitting down at her desk, she put her hand on her heart. Finally, he and Seijuro talked for the first time. Moreover, he approached her first, even if it was a simple request to help with her studies.
