Perfect

Chapter 5

~Time skip after lunch~

Hinata, Daiki, and Hayato all walk to class. You stay to help clean the lunch room, and Manami is there picking up her lunch.

"So Y/n... you and Hinata seem like your really good friends!" Manami explains.

"Nothing too much. I've only bumped into him a couple times." You mumble, awkwardly.

"You know... you wouldn't even know him if it weren't for me. Don't you think I deserve a little credit?" Manami asks.

"What do you mean?"

"Well... maybe it's my turn."

"Your turn to what...?"

The room is suddenly silent. Manami picks up a ketchup packet and smiles.

"It's my turn to make you miserable. Just like you did to me." Manami whispers.

She pours the ketchup all over herself.

"I'll be back. With Hinata." Manami exclaims.

She walks out of the door and flips her hair. You follow her straight to Hinata. She begins to "cry".

"HINATA!!! Y/N PUNCHED ME!!! OWWWW!!!" Manami cries.

"Okay and...?" Hayato mumbles.

"Y/n? Why would you do that?" Hinata asks. "I never thought you'd do that."

Hayato looks suspiciously at Manami. She wipes a little of the fake blood on her hand and licks it.

"YUMMMM!! KETCHUP!" Hayato cheers. "I LOVE KETCHUP! DID SHE PUNCH YOU ANYWHERE ELSE, MANAMI?"

"It's always you! You ruin everything, Hayato! Oh Hinata, she's so mean to me! You're the only one here that actually appreciates me!" Manami screams.

"Oh. Sorry about that I guess..." Hinata shrugs.

"Lets just go to class and get this whole day over with!" Manami complains.

"Okay." Daiki mumbles.

~Time skip after school~

You all walk home together after school just like you always do.

"Hey, Y/n... can we get my pocky now???" Hinata asks.

"Sure." You laugh.

Manami glares at you. You and Hinata walk to the store. It's across the street and only takes you about two minutes to get there.

"Hey, Y/n? I've been needing to tell you something." Hinata explains.

"Okay." You agree.

"I really like hanging out with you. And you're really fun to talk to!"

You stand there in silence. You start to blush.

"Thank you Hinata. I think you're great, too." You smile.

You both walk into the store. Hinata looks like it's making eye contact with the pocky.

"POCKY!!!" Hinata yells as he scoops up a box of pocky and hugs it.

"I'll get some, too." You get a box of the chocolate pocky as well.

You both walk to the checkout area.

"How much is it?" You ask the worker.

"Five dollars." He explains. You gulp.

"Oh no. I only have three dollars on me. It's okay. I don't need any pocky." You mumble.

"It's okay, Y/n! I'll pay for yours, and you can pay for mine. It'll be like we're giving each other presents!" Hinata giggles.

"Alright." You agree. You hand Hinata the pocky you bought him.

"Okay. Now close your eyes..." Hinata directs. You close your eyes. "And boom! I got you pocky! Do you like it???"

"Ya. Thanks Hinata." You laugh.

You both step outside and eat your pocky.

"Y/n... you know I play volleyball, right?" Hinata asks.

"Yes! I've seen your games before when I go to watch my brother. You're really good!" You smile.

"Okay. Well, I wanted to ask if you wanted to come watch me in the game tomorrow. No one in my family can come, and I like when I have someone to cheer me on. You don't have to come, but if you do, after, maybe we could watch a movie at my house?" Hinata explains.

"Oh cool! I was planning on going!" You say.

"Okay good!" Hinata cheers. He looks at his phone and answers a call.

"Oh hi mom! I just went to the store and I'll be back soon....now? But why??... Okay." Hinata puts his phone in his pocket. "I have to go home now. Bye!"

"Bye!" You blush and wave.
