Rise Again!

And the match ended with 80 - 70.

"Wanna have a draw?" Asked Sara with laughing.

"It's not chess that you ask for a draw agreement. But you succeed to tease me." Said Ishan and smiled.

Ishan won the match and his team was playing the best, even without Ishan, they were able to dominate even if Yu, their coach, was on opposite team and guiding them best.

"But it was a good game." Said Ishan with finally getting some relaxation by sitting on the ground.

Ishan also sat next to Sara and said, "Indeed. You and your team also played well."

"... By the way, what was that move that you threw the ball backwards to the hoop. Is it even possible?" Asked Sara with becoming a little bit curious to know.

"Um... It just came in my mind to do that. Was it that crazy?"

"It was."

And the till now, a few students have started coming to school and everyone started leaving the stadium and moving towards their classrooms.

Era played great but was most of the time trying to be out of the game which Ishan understood the reason and now needed to teach him what wrong he did.

Whereas Sia was shocked that how much Ishan's team has grown and improved. She can't believe that this is the team who was defeated by Kagi School, due to cheats and crime, and by Koyo School in the Inter High School Basketball Tournament.

Sara, Ishan, Jiyu, Eiro and Sia came in their classroom and sat on their seats.

"So... You all are that much strong? I am surprised that your team has improved so much." Said Sia and takes out a textbook from her bag.

But no one replied because their was nothing to say about it.

"Now the Inter High School Basketball Tournament is going to start from June?!" Said shocked Jiyu with reading the date of the tournament.

Ishan with being shocked raised and said, "Huh?! Are you serious? During our summer vacations?!"

"Um... Yes but boys' match will occur once in 2 weeks! Which by calculating means will end till Feb next year! And whereas girls, their match will occur on once in a week. And will end within November this year."

And everyone was shocked.

"What?! But why?!" Ishan panicked and ran towards Jiyu's seat and read the article of the dates of the tournament on Jiyu's phone.

Sara with being shocked said, "Then why is it so?!"

"The article says that at the stadium, there will happen some "national matches" I guess. And as our starting will be from State level, we can't even go to another state for it." Explained Jiyu.

Ishan fall on the seat in front of Jiyu's and with stressing said, "My summer vacations are gone then."

"Why?"

"I was having plans to go to fete during the summer vacations. But now we will have to practice."

"Huh? Seriously Ishan? You will practice all the time that you can't attend a fete?" Said Sara with realising that Ishan is a genius but on the same time a fool.

And Ishan realized that he has overthink about the things and with sweating said, "Uh... I apologize."

And Ishan went back to his seat.

And soon the students started coming in the classroom and talking to each other. And Sia from the first day started making more friends excluding Sara and others, they were already her friend.

And Sia went out of the classroom to hang out for a while. And Sara was a little bit upset because she has never gone out of her classroom before the starting of the classes with her friends because they neither took her nor she went out.

Although it was the same as of the lunch period but it's dangerous in starting because if they came to classroom after the classes starts, it's the problem.

And, Sia was late and Miss Naya was disappointed by her but didn't said anything to her and ordered her and her friends to take their seats.

And the classes started.

At the lunch period, everyone got out of the school building with plates and meals in their hands to eat together in the free and open sky and sunlight.

"Hey, when is our game's period?" Asked Jiyu from Eiro.

"Um... Not knowing. But from today, the club activities will start which means, basketball is back with us!" Said Eiro with excitement and Jiyu's body shacked with excitement and delicious food in his mouth.

Yu, Lisa and Aid, Era, and Cyet also arrived to join the chit chat together while lunch. Whereas Sia was engaging more with her new friends so she was out from their plan.

Aid took out his phone to show something to his friends which he uploaded on social media. But when he opened the app, he saw something ridiculous for him and which made him totally angry.

"... Did... You all posted that images on social media?" Asked angry Aid.

They all didn't understand that what does Aid meant to say and saw at his phone.

And Ishan, Era, Eiro, Cyet and Jiyu remain silent while chewing their food. And suddenly they all started laughing while eating making problems but they were not able to stop laughing.

Ishan, Era, Eiro, Cyet and Jiyu started coughing and they started beating at their chest, but not toouch tightly, to let the food enter the body somehow.

"You... Are finally going to become famous." Said Jiyu and started laughing after swelling all the food in his mouth.

These the were the images which were clicked by Ishan and edited by Jiyu to tease Aid at the previous year basketball campaign when they were gone at Koyo School. And that images have become a meme!

"Explain or I'll..." Said Aid with anger and boys were not able to stop laughing.

Aid stood and came in front of Ishan and Jiyu.

"... It's not our fault." And Ishan and Jiyu flee and Aid also ran with anger to catch them up.
