I had to sit down on the bleachers in the gym while I wait for Yuki to finish his training. I was only here for the bento box, but he told me it was still in his locker and the only time he can get it back for me is after his training.
  
 
  
   
  

 
They aren't allowed to take breaks in the middle of free practice. I also had trouble entering the gym because of their 'no non-athlete allowed', but Yuki — right there, he had his own ways.
  
 
  
 
 

I found myself spacing out and immediately turned to the side, with my head down — pretending I was busy with things as soon as I saw Ran. He's sitting on the opposite side.
  
  
  
  
  
 
Yuki came running to me. He held out his hand. I was confused. "Give me a boost. Tap it." My face literally went, "Eh?"  
  
  
  
    
    
      
I ended up doing it and he stepped in to the court. I stare at him, still confused. I caught a glimpse of Ran rolling his eyes. *What in the world is happening? Is there something going on between them?*
  
  
   
  
  

Ran position himself near me. He just stayed there, even after his turn to serve the ball. He keeps going back to the same position just near my sight. — He had a nice firm thighs and legs though, to say the least.
  
 
 
    
   
   

  
Spacing out again. I didn't pay much attention that I was too close in the court and the possibilities of me getting struck by a ball directly to my face is at a hundred percent.
  
 
 
   
  
   
 
The ball was set by Sekita to one of his teammates. Ran attempted to return it by doing his wing spike but the opponent successfully blocked it – once the ball touches the ground. It bounces back towards my direction.
    
    
 

 
   
   
I covered my face with my arm, eyes closed. Ran managed to dodge the ball. I tilt my chin up and open my eyes, little bit unsure of what was going to happen until I saw him, he was smiling. I slightly bowed to thank him before he continue to play the game.
  
 
   
        
   
 
  
 
Ran kept his smile until their free practice was finished but it soon fades away when Hina voluntarily stood up to help Yuki take off his ankle weights. *She is way more excited to take that ankle weights off him rather than being saved from the ball from hitting her head..* Ran walked out.
  
 
 
 
 

  
  
"Can I have my bento box now?" I asked Yuki. "Help me with this ankle weights first, I'll give it to you." He was only joking but Hina took it seriously. Yuki couldn't help but to watch. "Sure thing."
 
  
  
    
     
   

*My mom's bento box are one of her most prized possession, if I failed get it back home, I'd be scolded every single time Mom remembers it.* I thought as I help him.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

"Himari Hina? Can I talk to you?"
