𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬 [Akaashi Keiji x oc]

3.

We entered the gym through big doors. I with Kiyoko by my side, we were walking towards our team. Only now i realized how many boys were here.

I felt some eyes on me. Maybe more than some.

"How are you guys doing?" i asked when i finally approached a bench where i could sit. I could feel a small summer breeze entering here through opened doors and also sun rays trying to make their way through windows.

"Excited!"
"Pumped up!"
"Alright."
"Still sleepy."

Were some of their responses.

"How are you Koemi-chan?" Suga's kind voice asked me. He was leaning towards me and smiling gently. "I'm great, thank you."

"I hope you will enjoy this day. Keep your fingers crossed for us." and he left with others because the first match of the day was going to start by now.

Shifting my eyes from the ball to the boys and back was the only thing which i was doing for a long time now. Sometimes i wrote a note on my paper.

I need to move or go outside.

Boys haven't had much luck today yet. I was hoping that their moment will come anytime soon but it looked like without Hinata and Kageyama they can't reach victory.

Kiyoko tapped my shoulder and gestured i have to follow her. I could finally stretch my legs. Following her through the gym i felt eyes on me again.

This time i looked around. My eyes met with some of theirs. They smiled and i smiled back.

If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies, how fulfilling and dangerous that could be in one moment.

I continued my way and when we stepped out of the gym i enjoyed the view of the big area. Sun was shining and there were just barely any small clouds in the sky.

I love looking at the sky. Through the day or at night. It still has something new or different.

Now we were in a canteen cutting melons. Boys will have a break in a while and we were supposed to do small refreshments.

"Do you like someone Mako-chan?" one girl asked Shinzen's manager to break the silence. "Not really i guess." she replied.

"What does not really mean~?"
"Y-you know there is one b-boy in our team but i've never told him. I'm not quite sure if he f-feels the same."
"I think you should talk to him about it. It's better to know than just wondering."

I wondered if these questions and answers weren't too personal. I haven't really liked sharing my thoughts with everyone or someone who i didn't know that much.

They were talking like this until they got to me. "I haven't met the right person yet," i told them the truth. "and i think i don't need a man for now."

I decided to tell something what is not that attention catching. But it was also true. From my past, i know that life's not that easy and i don't need a man.

"Everyone needs their other half
Yoshida-chan~"
"One day the moment will come and you'll see." they were teasing me.

"I don't think so~" We returned to a girl sitting on my left. Some girls stated the same opinion as me and some the opposite one. Until we got to this girl and she said something what caught my mind.

"I wish i could meet someone who can make me feel the way i feel when the sun rises in the morning." We all looked amazed at what she just compared it to.

"When you say it like this it does make sense." After wondering for a while in a silence Yukie-san spoke.

"Let's go outside, boys should be done by now."
"Everyone please take two plates."

Boys were looking at melons on our plates as a predator looks at his pray. We were walking in between them while they were enjoying fresh melon slices.

One hand from behind stopped me from walking so i turned around, and when his beautiful teal eyes met mine i completely froze. I couldn't move.

Damn it!

"When the sun rises in the morning...." i whispered. He lifted his head to the side confused "What?"
"N-nothing. Sorry."
