Basketball club / Indoor GymJunko was proud of herself with how she was able to survive the full day of school. All she could think about now was getting to the basketball club, so as soon as the last period bell rang she hurried herself to the indoor gym. With a panting breath, she made it in and noticed the gym a little empty, but far off to the side there were some girls talking with each other. The closer she got, she recognized one of the girls there, handing out some sheets of paper to some students that seemed a little uninterested. She was
Sakura Yuhara, a 3rd year, and the president of the basketball club. Over the time Junko spent in the past year she had been in the school, they got along quite well.
"Uh...well you see, I thought the volleyball club was starting up, so I'm not all that into basketball..."
One of the girls trailed off, looking at the paper in front of her with a frown. Sakura immediately saw this disappointment, sprung up, and tried to persuade the students.
“Ah, well - it may not be what you’re into...but don’t you want to try it out?”
There was a silence between the girls as they looked at each other, and Junko decided to act. She took the nearest basketball and started dribbling it. Without a word, she stood a far distance from the hoop, concentrated, then threw it towards the hoop. It made it in, and the room stood in awe.
“W-Woah, that was cool…” One of the girls said. Sakura smirked, giving her a glance that said, “show off”. Two of the girls seemed excited and decided to take home the sheets. They waved on their way out, and when they were gone, Sakura sighed.
“Now we’ll have to see if they’re really going to join…” She trailed, and Junko gave her a worried glance. “How many people do we have this year?” Junko wasn’t a long time member, but she was probably one of the most enthusiastic members and seemed to liven up the team. The third years from the team before already graduated, leaving just a few dedicated members. Sakura looked down at the ground. “If we don’t have at least 10 members, I don’t think we can get in championships this year...” There was a silence between them, and while Sakura was starting to get depressed, Junko threw a basketball at her, catching her off guard. Junko smirked. “I’m sure we’ll come up with some members. I mean, there’s so many students in this school. If I have to bother everyone in this school, I’ll do it! So for now let’s do a little one on one.” Sakura let out a relieved breath and gave in. “You’re crazy, Kuriyama.”
Dorm roomBy the time Junko made it back to her dorm, she was completely exhausted. A little bit hungry, but mostly exhausted. She flopped on her bed and stared at her ceiling. Although she didn’t want to make the president worried, she was stressing about about the team too. “If we can’t get enough members...we won’t have a basketball team…”
