Ryo smiled wide, "You've been to America! Wow, that's cool."
He handed the ball to Yonutsune and smiled eagerly, "You try it then."

She caught the ball, giving a nervous smile as she froze up a little. "I'm really not that experienced." She said, twirling the ball between her hands.

Ryo smiled, "How about this, if I can make a shot from half-court, you try, alright?"

Yonutsune took in a deep breath, knowing he could do it but nodded in agreement anyway. "Okay." She threw the ball towards him.

Ryo dribbled the ball down to half court.
He was at least 45 feet from the basket, making this shot no easy task. Ryo had only made these shots 20% of the time or somewhere around there.
Ryo took in a deep breath. He arched his wrists, gave a small jump and let it go. The other people were watching as the ball soared across the court.
At his side he was crossing his fingers, as the ball got over. It bounced of the backboard and bounced on the rim. As it slid around the rim, Ryo was getting tired of his anxiety, tightening his crossed fingers. And...It went in. Some people applauded.
He smiled and looked over at Yonutsune, "Even for a Tansai student, THAT was difficult."
Ryo ran over and got the ball, "Come here, I don't want to trouble you with the stress of trying to make a half court shot."

Yonutsune nodded nervously, and then walked over to Ryo. Even for being calm and unattached most of the time, she could get nervous doing athletic things in front of others.
She took the ball from him and took her stance. She didn't waste time on throwing it and soon squinched her eyes shut.
Well, it must have been one of her lucky days or something. She opened her eyes and looked up right when it went it.
She let out a deep breath that she hadn't been aware she'd been holding and looked at Ryo with a small smile.

Ryo clapped and smiled, "Nice job! With a little practice you'd be a natural!"

She was still smiling when she looked up at the hoop. She'd never really thought about joining any teams or anything, but she thought maybe she'd try out for something this year.
"I don't know about that," She began, looking at Ryo once again. "But it sounds like fun!"

Ryo smiled, "The girl's basketball team would definately appreciate it, I'm guessing. A new player."

Yonutsune laughed lightly while her hand was placed on the back of her head. "Yeah, they'd defenitely appreciate me losing every game for them." She said, though it sounded like she was putting herself down when she was just joking about it.
