I'll always be there for you Naka...

"Ughh I don't know if I should call him or not!" I grumble to myself looking down at my phone in hand.

I mean it would be good to talk to someone about this so that they could help out. But I don't want to bother him with this...

Clicking his contact I hover my finger over the call button staring at his name.

Iwaizumi

Clicking it the phone rings twice before he picks up.

"Hello Naka-Chan?"

"Ohh Ren Ren!" A voice suddenly sings causing me to end the call as Sakura, Akari and Hina walk into the room.

All three girls settle theirselves on the ground grabbing a pile of blankets and pillows to make themselves comfy.

As if on cue my phone buzzes, a text popping up from Oikawa.

Group Chat: Oikawa is a shitty guy

From: Milk Bread Boy

Hey Naka-Chann, how was your first game?! We won of course because I'm just that amazing.

Iwa-Chan:
Trashykawa, you it's a team sport right? Baka. But how was your first game Naka?

Ahh congrats guys!!!  We won our first game too. One girl on Shiratorizawa called me a girl Ushijima which I found hilarious.

Milk Bread Boy:
Ughh how dare you get compared to bastard Ushiwaka.

Iwa-Chan:
Does make sense though. You are a left handed spiker and are both at a similar skill level.


Aww Iwaizumi-Chan that's so sweet of you. Well I have to get going. I'll update you both on my next match!

Milk Bread Boy:
Alright! Good luck!

Iwa-Chan:
Good luck Naka.

As I was about to turn off my phone another message pops up on my phone.

Iwaizumi:
Hey, I was wondering why you called? Are you alright?

Reading the text I hesitate on what to type writing one thing then erasing it right after.

Hey, yeah sorry that was an accident. But I'm alright, thank you for asking :)

I couldn't help but frown at my text as I lied to Iwaizumi about how I was feeling.

"Ooo who are you texting Ren," Akari elbows me winking.

"Just FRIENDS Akari."

"Hmm alright then lover bird," The vice captain sings swaying back and forth on her heels.

"Oi Akari quit acting like an idiot," Hina steps in flicking Akari's forehead. "I honestly question why I chose you as the vice captain. I should've gone with Sakura or maybe Ito instead," She sighs.

"Hey that's mean Hina! Ito was never interested and Sakura is only a second year so she'll easily get the spot as the captain next year."

"That's true, but she still is more mature than you'll ever be," Hina deadpans at the third year.

"That I won't deny," I giggle at the angry Akari.

"Oi you're the one to talk! I saw the videos of you and your buddy buddy from Nekoma."

"Hehh? What do you mean?"

Akari smiles brightly as she turns on her phone showing a video of myself with gum in my hair chasing after a scared Kuroo.

"Where'd you get that!"

"Hmm I have my sources," Akari grins from ear to ear watching the video.

"Whaat Naka-Chan seriously, how do you know all these hot boys!" Sakura widens her eyes at the group of Nekoma boys. "Especially the manly one you're chasing after."

"Pfftt, Kuroo is a wimp, he's far from any sorts of manly. He's more of a man child," I retort looking at the libero who's staring at the video.

"You seriously are boy crazy Sakura," Akari snorts.

"Hey nothing's wrong with that!" She puffs out her cheeks.

"Alright, enough with that, let's play truth or dare!" Akari suddenly exclaims to which we all agree.

"Alright Sakura, truth or dare?" Akari starts off.

"Hmm...dare!"

"Okay, I dare you to...  call Watari-Kun and ask him out on a date!"

"Hehh? I choose truth then!"

"Tsk tsk Sakura I already gave it. He likes you anyways so you'll be fine," Akari smiles to comfort the terrified second year.

"Iβ€”ugh finee!" She whimpers.

Sakura slowly pulls out her phone clicking on the contact "my libero buddy" which we all start awing at, her face turning beet red.

We all watch as she clicks his contact clicking the speaker button on as the phone rings one time before he answers.

"Oi Oikawa stop screaming about aliens!" We all hear Watari's voice on the other end of the call.

"Ooo who are you talking to?" The setter sings.

"None of your business, now quiet down," Watari mutters before we hear shuffling as the voices die down a bit.

"Hey Yashi-Chan! Sorry about that Oikawa is just being annoying and loud as usual," The boy laughs.

"Chann?!" Akari and I whisper our eyes widening at the horrific. Watari never calls anyone by that.

"Shh!" Sakura puts a finger on her lips.

"He-hey Watari," She slightly stutters staring down at her phone.

The call stays silent the background noise of the Seijoh boys sound for a few seconds as Sakura tries to think of what to say.

"Soo why'd you call me if I may ask," Watari finally speaks up.

"O-oh! Uh so I was wondering if you would like to uh, go out som-sometime..."

"Oh sure! Like both teams?"

"This boy is more dense than Iwaizumi," Akari grumbles.

"Hehh what do you mean by thβ€”" Akari puts her hand on my mouth putting a finger on her lips.

"N-no, just the two of us."

"O-oh like a date?!" Watari emphasizes as we can hear chuckles from the other end.

"Yes. That's only if you want to though! You don't have to say yeβ€”"

"I would love to."

Akari and I screech quietly in excitement as we look at the flustered Sakura.

"Oh okay miraculous! I'll call you tomorrow, bye!" Sakura blurts out ending the call before Watari could reply.

"M-miraculous?" Hina tries to hold in her laugh.

"Pfft Sakura you're the best!" I laugh out loud slapping her against the back.

"Oi you shouldn't be talking miss 'Iwaizumi and I are just friends."

"Ohhh she got you Ren!" Akari laughs even louder high fiving Sakura. "At least she has the guts to admit her feelings to the guy she likes."

"H-hey that's bullying!" I whine stuffing my face in my hands.

"No hunny, we're just speaking the truth," Akari hums patting my hair.

Suddenly the door opens and the she devil herself Ito walks in a small frown on her face.

"Hey Ito! You alright?" Hina asks.

"Uh yea I'm fine," She mutters as she sits down beside Akari. "So what have you all been doing?"

"Well, we've been playing truth or dare to which Sakura is now going on a date with Watari-Kun."

"Faster than Ren could ever ask out Iwaizumi."

"Oi Hina did you say something?!" I shout looking at the grinning captain.

"Okay no need to fight over the truth," Akari smiles at me to which I stick my tongue out in response. "Ito, why don't you ask someone?"

"Alright."

Don't choose me. Don't choose me.

"Naka-San."

Damn it!

"Truth or dare?"

Should I choose truth considering Ito will most likely make me do something stupid? But at the same time they'll just call me a chicken if I don't pick dare.

"Dare," I smile at her to which she smirks in response.

"Alright. I dare you knock on one of the Niiyama Girls' teams hotel room and pour a bucket of water on them."

"Huhh?!" I widen my eyes at Ito's smug expression. "Y-you want me to wake them up and splash water on their faces?!"

"Yes."

"Unless you're too scared to," She smiles mischievously keeping her blue eyes in lock with my hazel ones.

"Ito, I think that's a bit too far," Hina speaks up looking at her. "You don't have to do it Ren if you don't want tβ€”"

"I'll do it," I let out not wanting to back down.

"Alright then let me get the bucket," Ito claps her hands as she skips towards the bathroom.

β€”
"Alright so which room is it?" I ask holding the bucket handle which I have no clue as to how Ito found one as we all walked down the hall.

"Right there," She points to the room at the end of the hall. "Have fun," She forcefully pushes me towards the door.

Slowly walking towards the door I turn around to see Sakura, Hina and Akari all giving me a reassuring smile whereas Ito was grinning.

Ugh I really hate her.

Reaching the door I take a deep breath before knocking on it two times.

I quickly hide the bucket behind me right after as I wait for someone to open it.

"Oi Kimura could you get the door!" A voice shouts from the other end of the door.

Kimura.... there's no way.

"Got it!"

That voice.

The door opens and I lock eyes with those familiar grey ones.

Instinctively I drop the bucket of water in my hands, to which it splashes on the ground.

"K-Kimura," I say aloud as I feel my eyes begin to water my mind running with bad memories.

Her eyes widen as well as she looks down at the water on the ground then back up at me.

The all too familiar smug smile comes to her face as she watches me tremble.

Without waiting for her to respond I turn around jolting towards the stair case tears streaming down my face.

The girl who I've been praying not to see ever again in my life was just in front of me.

The girl who made my life last year a living hell was smiling at the sight of me breaking down.

The girl who almost killed me was here.

Himari Kimura.
