Thanks to Eriko, I was able to tag along for the trip. If it had been up to my brother, he would never have agreed to let me go. The thought of me staying away from him overnight was a big no. Never in a million years.
I'm basically like his handbag. Wherever he goes, I go. Wherever he sleeps, I sleep. Ever since I was a little kid, he has never let me leave his side for more than a few hours. It's only recently, since he started working those long overnight shifts, that he's been a bit distant, but honestly, I'm still my brother's handbag at heart.
He noticed the second I started packing my backpack. He saw my toothbrush and the extra clothes, and I had to think fast. I told him I was going to the championship, obviously Eriko was the one doing the talking. Eriko backed me up, telling him that everyone in the school was going and that I should be there too to support the team. In reality, not everyone was actually going. It was just the team, the coach, Princess, Malo, and me.
