CHAPTER 7

"Tsukki?" The door to the classroom that Sana and I were passing opened, and the person who opened it was none other than, "Tsukishima-kun?" I took a glance behind him. "Yamaguchi-kun? Why are you guys here?" I asked them. "Why wouldn't we be here? We study here." Tsukishima-kun responded. "I mean, don't you guys have a game today?" I clarified my question. "Actually, we lost yesterday. We were defeated by Aoba Johsai." Yamaguchi-kun remarked. They were defeated? "Aoba Johsai? Is it that pretty setter's team?" I inquired inadvertently. "Pretty setter? Ah! You must be referring to Oikawa." Yamaguchi-kun spoke. "Yeah, him. But, uh, where are you guys going?" I awkwardly asked Yamaguchi-kun trying to escape Tsukishima's scrutinizing gaze. "We were going to eat outside," Yamaguchi-kun replied, his gaze flitting between me and Tsukishima-kun. "Do you mind if we join?" I shifted my gaze to Sana. I was about to protest, but someone spoke first. "Of course, you're welcome to join us." Tsukishima-kun gave a sly grin. Sana smiled and moved forward with Yamaguchi-kun.

"Pretty setter, huh?" Tsukishima-kun started, causing me to roll my eyes. "I just said he's attractive because it's true. I didn't say I like him or anything." I defended myself. Why am I defending myself to this beanpole in the first place? "I didn't say anything about crushes," He laughed. "Don't you guys have practice?" I asked, changing the subject. "It was canceled by Coach. What about you?" He inquired. "The third-year retired. They all chose to cease training because we were short on members." I can't say I blame them. The girls' volleyball club cannot continue since the third years are focused on college prep and the remaining members consist of four members only.

"What are your plans now?" I shrugged because I didn't know what to say. But, to be honest, Yui-senpai's suggestion has been all I've been thinking about since that day. I try to avoid thinking about it, but it simply came pouring back to me when I stared into space. I'm afraid I won't be able to accomplish it. I won't be able to assist the guys' volleyball club in the same way that I assisted the girls. Even though they both participate in the same sports, they are very different. But what is the difference? I'm not sure why, but they're just different. "What should I do?" I let out a sigh. "Why you're asking me? It's your life." Yes, it's my life, but I just want to hear something from him. "What do you want to do? What's holding you back? Why is it preventing you from moving forward? Is it bigger than what you want?" I came to a halt and considered what he had said. 'Is it bigger than what I want?' "No." I whispered. "What?" Tsukishima-kun had asked. "Nothing. Let's go and eat already. I'm starving." I moved passed him to Sana and Yamaguchi-kun.

Now I'm sure what I'll do. I can't believe he helped me out again unintentionally. And I can't believe I'm asking for his help this time. That I'd like him to give me some advice, to persuade me to do it. This is the second time we've interacted, and I'm starting to like it. When I tell him about my situation, he responds with anything that miraculously helps me. Or perhaps we could chat about something other than my dilemma. "He might melt with your stare," Sana teased. "Oh please, that titan isn't going to melt," I rolled my eyes. "You didn't even deny it." She laughed, which drew the attention of the two boys. "Y/n's blushing," Yamaguchi-kun chuckled. "Don't point it out! I'm sure I'll blush even more." I whined; my face hidden under my hands. "What are you? A tomato?" Tsukishima-kun made a snide remark. I groaned and covered my face even more.

"Where's Toshi?" I inquired as I surveyed the gymnasium. "Still out." Nii-chan spoke. "Your match is about to begin." On the other side, I noticed a college volleyball team warming up. I noticed a few of them staring at us and speaking to one another. "Haven't they ever seen a girl?" A red-headed boy inquired, but his focus was on the college lads. "Girls at their school are most likely not as attractive as Y/n." My brother snorted, which I heard. "Y/n? Attractive? I believe you should have your eyes examined." He snickered, but when I pinched his arm, it transformed into a shriek. We were about to start bickering when my gaze was drawn to the ball about to fly through the door. "I see Toshi." I said to no one in particular. I noticed him leap for the stray ball, but something orange sped past him. Huh? "Sunbeam." Why are you here? "What are you mumbling about?" My brother had asked. "How unattractive you are." I grumbled. "Why you-" he was about to strangle me if it hadn't been for their coach shouting at them to get ready. 'Thank you, coach. My life was spared because of you.' I let out a sigh.

I returned my gaze to the entrance, but all I saw was a chest. When I looked up, Toshi was already staring down at me. "Y/n." He welcomed me warmly. "Oh! Hello, Toshi." I returned his greeting with a smile. "The match is about to begin." I took a step back to let him proceed and prepare for his game. "Will you be watching?" I gave a nod. "I'll have to wait for Nii-chan." He suddenly paused in tying his shoes and raised his eyes to mine, as if he wanted to say something. "What is it?" I tilted my head to the side. "Nothing." He shook his head. The whistle shrilled to signal the start of the game. "Toshi, give it your all." He smiled briefly and then nodded. I chose to sit near to the coaches in order to have a better view of the game and to get some feedback on the team's performance. I'm not doing this for Karasuno, I'm not gonna betray my friends here; I'm just curious in how these coaches think. Speaking of Karasuno, the number ten player, what was he doing in this place?
