"Hey Iwaizumi, do you know how to answer number 5?" I ask staring down at my paper.
Silence.
I look up to see him writing on his own paper an emotionless expression on his face.
Maybe he didn't hear me?
"No"
Well I guess he did.
Ever since he and Oikawa came over last night he's been giving me the cold shoulder barely speaking a word to me.
It's not like I did anything wrong, I think?
"I got it sweetheart," Oikawa speaks up leaning towards me as he explains the answer.
I could feel his breath on my neck as he spoke which got my face to heat up in embarrassment from how close we were.
"Ahh okay thanks Oikawa," I smile as trying to keep my composure.
"No problem Naka-Chan," He leans back in his chair a smirk on his face as if he accomplished something.
I watch as he glances in Iwaizumi's direction his smirk growing even wider before closing his eyes.
Curious, I look to the boy on my left to see him now glaring at his paper gripping onto his pencil a bit tighter than usual.
Weird.
"Hi Naka-San!" I hear someone exclaim as I walk into the gym and look to see Yahaba giving me a small wave a smile on his face.
"Hi Yahaba-Kun!" I smile back walking towards Yahaba, Matsukawa and Watari.
"So you excited to get crushed today Naka?"Matsukawa grins spinning a volleyball in his hand.
"You wish Mattsun," I scoff glaring at the third year.
Matsukawa and I both work at the same sports shop that I got a job at the week I came here and we have become pretty good friends.
Turns out he's not that intimidating once you get to know him. But can be very annoying and rude.
"Pretty confident huh? Don't go crying once we win then," He teases causing my blood to boil.
"Listen you little biβ"
"Well no matter what happens everyone will do great," Watari cuts me off smiling at the both of us to ease the tension.
"Aww yes Watari-Kun your right!" I grin turning around as I walk towards the girls. "But it won't stop me from kicking your asses!"
I grin at the shocked boys from my use of vocabulary and turn around only to see a ball flying towards me. "Ahh!"
Barely dodging the ball my eyes are met with an angry Hina.
"Hinaa, what was that for!"
She furiously stomps towards me grabbing the collar of my shirt as she drags me towards the other girls. "Do not say words like that to your peers ever again!"
Snickers come from behind and I turn around to see Yahaba and Matsukawa trying to hold in their laughter. Whereas Watari was sending me a sympathetic smile.
My face heats up in embarrassment as I turn my head back to Hina. "Gomen captain," I mumble.
Our team was first to warmup so we began with serves to which, to which I got an evil yet amazing idea.
I eye the spot I was aiming to hit on the other side of the court and grin as he had his back facing me.
Taking a deep breath I toss the ball in the air hitting it in the pinpointed direction at full force.
"Oi!" Matsukawa yelps as the ball hits the back of his head.
He slowly turns his head with a glare that terrified the living shit out of me.
"Gomen! Ball got out of control," I boldly shout giving him a cheeky smile.
"Ahh she got you good," Hanamaki begins to choke out between laughs.
The third year only grunts in response as he rubs the back of his head. He sends a "you're dead" glare in my direction before walking towards the bench.
"Alright everyone huddle up!" The boys coach yells to which we jog to him and Coach Tanaka.
"Okay we will be playing three sets total as usual but will switch it up a bit. The first and second set will be the boys team against the girls. Then the third one will be a mix of both so that each of you can learn skills from one another. Got it?" Coach Tanaka explains to which we all nod in response.
"Alright then it's game time!"
Myself and some others cheer in response as we get to our respected sides.
"Okay girls huddle up!" Hina says.
"So we know for a fact that this team is really good from watching their matches before. We must watch out for Oikawa specifically since he's their strongest player."
For some reason Hina's words brought a pit in my stomach as she spoke highly of Oikawa.
"Anyone have anything else to say?" She asks.
"Nope," Everyone says in response.
"Alright then let's do this!" Akari exclaims.
We do our small cheer then walk onto the court to be met up with our opponents.
Looking to the other side of the net I'm matched up with Kunimi who only looks at me with a bored expression.
"Nice serve!" His teammates yell as I eye who was serving first.
Ughh of course it's Oikawa.
"Girls this is a hard one!" I yell as he bounces the ball a few times.
"Aww Naka-Chan you're too sweet," He swoons giving me a peace sign before tossing the ball in the air.
I watch his eyes gravitate in Ito's direction before hitting it.
"Ito!" I shout as then ball goes her way.
She hesitatently bumps the ball to which goes out due to the crazy power.
"It's alright!" Hina says to Ito to which she only grunts in response.
"Try moving back, it'll help a lot more," I tell her as I look at Oikawa who was still gazing in her direction.
Ito mutters something in response as I hear her feet move back.
Serving the ball once again towards Ito she's able to receive it sending it in Hina's direction.
"Hina!" Both Akari and I call out as we both jump.
Tossing the ball to Akari she spikes the ball only for it to graze Kindaichi's fingers.
"One touch!" The blockers yell as the ball goes up on their side of the court.
"Iwa-Chan!" Oikawa calls out as he tosses it in his direction.
Akari and Sakura get ready to receive the ball from their side but Iwaizumi last second aims the ball towards me.
Slamming it down to which almost hits me in the face I dodge the ball as it barely goes out of bounds.
"Gomen," He mutters as he comes to the ground.
"Iwaizumi, why'd you switch up last second?" Watari asks looking at the emotionless black haired boy.
He only shrugs in response as he stares in my direction.
I let out a gulp before getting ready for the next rally.
Was he intentionally going for me?
-
The game continued with them winning the first set and us winning the second.
Both Iwaizumi and Matsukawa were purposely hitting all their spikes in my direction, making me more of a libero than an actually hitter.
I understood why Matsukawa was doing it, but Iwaizumi? I had no clue.
For the last game I was thankfully paired up with both boys not having to deal with their powerful spikes coming my way.
"Oikawa!" I call out running towards the net swinging my arms back.
He tosses it perfectly in my direction giving me a clear opening for a cross shot.
Watching it fall to the other side of the court brought me satisfaction as I came to the ground.
That was game.
"Yess Naka-Chan!" Oikawa suddenly picks me up giving the tightest hug ever.
"Oikawa your sweaty, let me go," I laugh trying to pry myself off of him.
"Oya? Then that makes me want to not let you go at all then," He hums still in my embrace.
"Oi Oikawa! Leave Naka-San alone," Kindaichi calls at the setter.
After a few more seconds he huffs in annoyance placing me slowly down unwrapping his arms from me.
"So mean," He pouts ruffling my hair before his usual smile comes back.
"Alright everyone, clean up!" Coach yells to which we all nod as we get to work.
Picking up the balls I couldn't help but think that Oikawa was being a bit too close to me today.
It's not like this man child was ever not, but he's been more than usual.
I wonder why...
"Hey Iwaizumi-Chan do you need help?" I overhear a familiar voice and perk up to see Ito right beside him.
Chan?
She gives him a sweet smile her hands behind her as she looks up at the grumpy boy.
"Uh sure," He bluntly says handing her a ball.
I couldn't help but feel myself get angry at the scene gripping on the volleyball in my hands as I stare at the two talking to one another.
Ito quickly glances in my direction sending a smug smile before continuing to talk to Iwaizumi.
Who does this bitβ
"Oi Naka-San stop holding the volleyball so tightly. You're going to rip it," A voice says and I look away from the two to see Matsukawa.
"Also lose the scowl, don't want to get wrinkles on your already ugly face."
I look down at the ball in my hand and throw it at the boys head.
"Ow!"
"That's what you get for being mean Mattsun" I pout before skipping away from him humming a tune in my head.
"Bi polar much," I hear him mutter.
After changing back to my regular clothes I walk out of the change room to see Oikawa leaning against the wall on his phone.
He looks up smiling as he sees me. "Geez you take so long sweetheart."
I gasp dramatically putting a hand to my chest like he does. "Whaat! How dare you be like that Oikawa."
He laughs in response pushing himself up from the wall walking towards me. "Ahh Naka-Chan you're too cute."
"I know," I say giving him a big close eyed smile. "So where's Iwaizumi?"
"Oh, he's talking to Ito-San. He said he'll be a minute."
"O-oh," I quietly mumble looking at the setter.
I then hear footsteps and look turn around to see Iwaizumi walking up to us in his casual attire.
Why does he always look so goβ
"Ready to go Naka-Chan?"
"Huh? Oh yea let's go," I look back at Oikawa as we walk outside.
"Pleaseee," Oikawa whines as we stand outside a convienemce store.
Iwaizumi rolls his eyes at his friend who was pouting back at him. "Fine. Be quick."
"Yes sir!" Oikawa salutes before walking inside the store to buy his milk bread.
Damn I should've went with him I thought as Iwaizumi and I were waiting for him in silence.
"Iwaizumi," I finally say looking at the black haired boy.
"Yes?"
"Are...are you mad at me for some reason?" I quietly ask.
He looks away from the street to me, his eyes staring into mine.
"If it's because of last night I'm sorry! It's just that I d-didn't really want to talk about a bad time in my life," I admit looking down nervously as I play with my fingers.
Silence once again fills the air as I anxiously wait for his response.
"I'm not mad at you Naka-Chan,"
Chan? Welp my heart is now going crazy.
I look up from my fingers to see him a bit closer to me.
"I just was kind of annoyed that you were lying to me but I understand that you weren't comfortable talking about it," He tells me. "Also I was angry at you because you were hiding something else. Why didn't you tell me about the threat you got?"
My eyes widen at his question. "The threβ how'd you know?"
"It fell out of your pocket when you went back upstairs after we talked," He says pulling the note out from his pocket.
"I-"
"Look, I know that you had a rough past back in Nekoma, which makes me to believe that it is similar to what's happening now. But don't be afraid to tell anyone. You shouldn't be alone."
At that my heart swells up.
I feel myself walk towards Iwaizumi pulling him into a hug. "Thank you Iwaizumi-Chan."
"No problem."
Suddenly a cough sounds and we both break out of the embrace to see a smirking Oikawa.
"Alright boy and girl let's go," He hums walking in the direction of my house.
β-
"You like her don't you."
My eyes widen at Oikawa's question as I keep my eyes on my work. "Like who?"
Nakamura went to go get snacks for us since Oikawa was basically begging for food as we were working on our project.
I look up from my work to see him sending me an unreadable emotion.
"Naka-Chan. I noticed the way you looked at her when I was helping her out with the school work today," He tells me pushing his glasses up.
"Iβ we've only known each other for a few weeks," I say.
"Truee, but that doesn't stop you from feeling anything for her," He hums back looking at his laptop.
"Do you like her?" I suddenly ask causing Oikawa to perk up his eyes widening.
"I-""
"I'm backk!" An angelic voice calls out and both Oikawa and I look to see Naka with a plate full of food.
Noticing our faces she tiltes her head slightly looking between the two of us. "Did I interrupt something?"
That was cute.
"U-uh no you didn't," I lie looking at Oikawa who was looking back at me.
"Hmm okay then," She says placing the plate on her bedside table grabbing a milk bun as she plops herself in between Oikawa and I.
Did he like her? I couldn't help but think as I watched my childhood friend smile at Naka as she was talking to him.
Did she like him?
