Completely Opposite

3. Chuya

"You're coming Chuya?"

"Yeah be right there, go on without me I'll join you in a bit."

Chuya made her way to the coach office, she stopped at the door and took a deep breath before knocking at the door.

"Come on in."

"Hello coach."

"Chuya? What brings you here?"

"Sir I wanted to talk with you about something. Since its my last year in this school and last year with team I would like to leave the team right now."

"W-what? Chuya sit down and let's talk about this. What's going on? Why so suddenly you want to leave?"

"I feel like the old generation should give a chance to younglings, soon enough I, Aia, Eiko will leave the team. Its better if we start looking for new players and give them a chance."

"Chuya we already looked for new players and we found few who would love to join. Look, they all are unexperienced they need to train hard and look up to someone. You, Aia and Eiko are good examples just like you learned from your upperclassmans."

Chuya fell silent as she gave it a thought, thinking about possibilities to not leave if everything turns out ok.

"You don't like volleyball anymore? Is that the case?"

"No sir of course no."

"Then why to worry? You've been the best middle blockers we ever had on the team, you leaving would be a big damage to the team. Anyways what Eiko and Aia thinks about this?"

"They don't know anything about this, it's my own doing."

"Then think how they would feel if you leave the team right now, after all we are preparing for the Nationals. Tomorrow first year's will come to practice, give them a chance and help me train them properly so when the time comes and you will need to leave, you could go with peaceful mind that you left good players in the team. Just give it a shot alright?"

"Right. And Sir please don't tell Aia and Eiko we talked about this."

Coach nodded and Chuya got up, bowed and left the office. It was a hard time, because it already felt like the team will break up anyways. Maybe coach is right, new players will keep the team steady.

Chuya found the girls in the cafeteria, eating and laughing peacefully. It was a lingering feeling that someone at any moment could turn their backs on each other. Eiko, Aia and Chuya the trio what held the team together were now third years what truly gave some pressure.

"Hey Chuya are you going to stand there and watch us or are going to join us? I already got you lunch."

Chuya walked towards them and sat down quietly eating her tray. It was silence until Eiko spoke up, bringing all eyes on her.

"My mom called me. She wants me to move back to Norway."

Suddenly it was dead silence, no one uttered a word, all the team members were looking at Eiko, it was matter of seconds until someone will burst out.

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly as it sounds like. I will move back to Norway and finish my studies there."

"What's the meaning of this? Why so suddenly you want to move back?"

"I have no other choice, let's face it this way, I'm telling you now before it's too late."

Aia was getting more and more angrier as she listened to what Eiko was saying.

"How long?" From Aia side the question was too quiet for others to hear.

"What?"

"HOW LONG DID YOU HIDE THIS? HOW LONG DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE LEAVING?" Aia screamed at Eiko bringing all the cafeterias attention to them. She stood up from her seat her head hanging down.

"About 3 weeks or so. I wasn't ready to tell you girls so I kept quite but now its too much to bear. I have another week to spend here, I'm sorry."

Chuya was just eating her lunch and tried to act cool, but her insides were burning with pain. It was exactly what she feared the most. Expecially now she can't break the news about her leaving too, even now she thinks she can't leave at all.

"Chuya what you think about this? Huh? ARE YOU JUST GOING TO SIT THERE AND EAT PRETEND THAT NOTHING IS GOING ON!? "

Aia exploded and Chuya knew she can't do anything about Eiko leaving but that doesn't mean she didn't care.

"What do you want me to say? If Eiko needs to leave she is going to leave its not like we could do anything about it anyways."

Aia just stood there  looking at Chuya who looked unbothered by this.

"Unbelievable!"

That was the last word Aia said before she stormed out of the cafeteria, leaving us all behind.

"Chuya I'm sorry I didn't tell sooner."

Chuya faced Eiko and others feeling speechless. It's not like she didn't know what was going to happen sooner or later but again for this to happen right now when everything is on the line...

"It's not like your sorry will change anything right now."

It was a salty remark from Chuyas side as she as well stood up and left the cafeteria not giving the girls a single glance. She rushed out of the school going around the corner, taking out her cigarette pack.

She placed one of the cigarette in her mouth fires it up letting the smoke get in her lungs before blowing them out. She was stressed and nothing else, it was hurtful to watch and look at how pitiful Eiko and Aia looked. The perfect trio are breaking up slowly and painfully.

"I told you, you should give this habit a rest."

Its was a very familiar voice Chuya would recognise miles away. Its was Junta her follow classmate. This guy would appear out of nowhere and comfort others if it's needed, but his relationship with Chuya was more then that. He was her bestfriend and company even tho he is still scared of Chuya sometimes.

"Something happened?"

"Why would you ask if you already know the answer."

"Yeah...the whole cafeteria was blabbering about the accident. You good?"

"Yeah why wouldn't I?"

"You know you can't fool me, but I will let you pass this time."

Chuya finished half of the cigarette and throw it to the ground stepping on it. She sat down on the ground and placed her head between her hands taking deep breaths to calm down.

"Eiko is leaving and now the team is on the line, even if coach finds other players it won't be the same."
