IV - Kicked

I slump against the wall of the court. We got kicked out of the court. "This is your fault!", I look at him with disgust. "Mine?? An argument requires two people, Kageyama!", he retorted. I just scoffed. "Whatever, just shut up."

A record-breaking silence of two seconds.

"I don't think you remember my name. I'm Hinata Shōyō.", he said, extending a hand for me to shake. "Don't care.", I reply bluntly. He looked offended, and said, "That's so mean! Now I know why people call you 'the King of the court'." Why did he have to call me that? "Don't call me that, boke." He put his hands up defensively. "Ight dude, I got you.", he said, before taking a seat.

Another silence. This was a little longer than the previous, lasting two-point-five seconds.

"Don't you want to play? Let's go inside and beg to play again!", he said, hope filling his eyes. I scoffed again. "I don't beg." "Oh shut up! Throw your ego aside! You do want to play, right?" Hm. Yeah, I do. But I'm not going to fucking beg. But...

"How about we challenge them to a match? When we win, they'll have to recruit us.", I suggested. He looked at me. "I think you mean if we win, right?" I rolled my eyes. "No, I meant when. Now hurry up."

"That's actually not a bad idea! We can get the other two first-years also!", the captain clapped his hands together. "Tanaka, you can join Hinata and Kageyama. I'll join Tsukishima and Yamaguchi. The match will be tomorrow! We'll see you both then.", he said and sauntered off.

"You better not screw up.", I say to Hinata, and walk off before he could protest. Damn, I really need some milk. I walked over to the vending machine. When I get there, I see a girl with short, brown hair standing there. I ignore her and press the button for milk. Great, there's no milk left. "I pressed the milk button by accident, you can have this if you want.", a voice behind me says. Huh, that's the same voice I heard this morning.

I turn around to see the same girl. I snatch the milk from her hand, mumbling a small "thank you". I was about to walk away when she hollered, "Ayo, what the hell? I payed for that!" She was the one who offered to give it to me though? "What? You offered, so I took it," I shrugged. "Like hell I'm letting you take it for free!", she scoffed. "Buy me a cola.", she ordered. What is with this girl? "Like hell I'm buying you anything!", I retorted. "Then give the milk back, I'm thirsty." "What the hell, I'm thirsty too! And you offered, so hell no."

I'm not going to lose to her.
