thank you || akaashi

Chapter 21

triple update today just because

the school day went fast and was boring as usual.

akaashi seemed to have been avoiding sarah the whole day, but she didnt mind. except for the fact that no akaashi meant no bokuto but sarah had suki.

it had been a dark and dreary day, the sound of rain pattering on the windows as the classes went on.

the rain had stopped by the time sarah set foot outside, varying sizes of puddles decorating the pavement.

on a regular day, sarah would've went straight home and watched movies in her sweatpants after finishing her homework.

sighing, she remembered where she was staying for the rest of the semester and made her way towards the akaashi household.

————

sarah steps through the door, remembering to wipe her shoes on the carpet.

aiko heard the door and peeked her head into the front hall.

"hey sarah! how was your day?" she smiles.

"oh it was average," sarah shortly replies.

"is average good? or bad...?"

sarah places her bag on the hook that aiko set for her to make it more organized.

"neither really... i just wish there was a little spice," the girl sighs. "i dont really have anything to do other than study and do homework. everyday is a repeat."

"hmm..." aiko steps more into the room, leaning on a doorframe. "have you considered getting a job?"

"maybe..." sarah thought.

"didnt you used to manager akaashi's team?" aiko then realizes.

sarah was actually still on the break she told shirabu about before. she was meaning to re join the day after but after her mom leaving for work she just never got around to it.

"im not sure of they'd want me again after i quit like that," sarah frowns, causing aiko to frown as well.

"well it never hurts to try! maybe you could as akaashi when he gets home from practice?"

"okay! im going to head up to the guest room, have fun with your baking," sarah refers to the wafting smell of cookies beginning to spread through the house.

"oh! thankyou for remind me!" and aiko runs back into the kitchen.

———

sarah flops down on the bed, happy to relax after the school day.

her phone buzzes, sparking her curiosity. the only texts she would get would be from suki or akaashi or bokuto and all of them were doing their extracurriculars. so who could it be.

she slides open her screen, seeing a text from the boy from the bus that had followed her when she was in myagi.

"interesting username," she mutters to herself, opening the text.
