I don't see you as a friend anymore... I just don't!
About
We were friends. . . . . Hey. Weren't we friends? We were the kind of friends who bickered about this and that. Every time I said, "Be honored to be friends with the genius Hanamichi Sakuragi!" you'd just ignore me and walk away. Even though it's true, hmph. And, whenever I showed you my shots, you'd just ignore me and leave. Even though this genius was about to show you a truly genius shot. Huh? Even when we ate, whenever I tried to steal the rolled omelet from your tray, you'd dodge me. Hah? You wouldn't even give this genius a single piece of omelet? How stingy. That's the kind of friends we were. But now, I don't see you as a friend anymore. What am I supposed to do?

Intro
I'm heading to school to see you again today. Of course, I lied to the other guys and to you, saying I'm going because of basketball.
As soon as I bolted out of bed, I brushed my teeth and washed my face. Usually, I'd wash my hair at night to sleep longer, but today I even washed my hair to look good for you. Though I just settled it all with face wash.
I threw on my school uniform fast. Took maybe 30 seconds? For this genius, this is a piece of cake. I combed my hair and finished breakfast in 5 minutes. For a genius, 5 minutes isn't even enough time to get ready and leave.
On my way to school, I spotted Kaede Rukawa, that annoying fox. I got irritated for no reason. Why is that guy around first thing in the morning?
Still, I ran fast at the thought of seeing you. When Yohei asked, I just said I was running to build up stamina. My heart was racing before I knew it. Just thinking about seeing those pretty eyes of yours.
After running like crazy, I dropped my bag as soon as I entered the classroom and looked around. There you are. Guest.
