"And there goes the Ethereal Sun for another no touch ace! Seriously Brad, if it goes on like this things will be getting worse for <insert school name>!"

"You're right Mike! Nationals are always heated! Fated rivals- <insert school name> and Haruka's team never fail to leave the stadium stunned!"

The commenters. I sighed. Catching the ball thrown towards me, I let go of it as it spinned. Grabbing it again, I tossed it up as I took my steps and jumped as high as I could. Seeing the ball in my vision, I instantly hit it with right hand. I feeling the stinging on my palm, I watched it cutting through the air to the opposite court as I landed on my feet.

"Another service ace!!!"

"It seems Haruka is on a roll this championship! Both <insert school name> and <Haruka's school> constantly get better- powerhouses from different states- even countries are here for them!"

"Another toss."

"Haruka, maybe you need rest..."

"...I'm sorry..."

"...huh...?"

I'm agitated.

"I'm sorry!"

"...Haruka... Please tell me..."

"...I'll be flying back home tomorrow...."

"What!?"

"..."

"I-I... I'm d-disappointed..."

"..."

Am truly worth it? Am I truly worth all the fame? All the glory? Am I worthy to be proud of?

"Haruka... Safe journey... I'll miss you..."

"... Anna I-"

"Let's keep in touch... I need to go."

Don't....

"L-"

"Attention please. Our flight will be landing five minutes. All passengers please wear your seat belts. I repeat-"

...

I stared out the window. Clouds. I sighed, falling back to my seat.

Why?

That's the only question I have.

Why?

The only question with the answer which I desperately want.

...Why... why do I have to- have to be so- so... so lonely...?

Nope. Nopety-nope. Be happy Haruka! You can continue your first year of middle school in home! I get to be with mom, dad and onii-chan! Speaking of them- shouldn't I tell that I'm landing?

Yeahhhh! I have to... do... that..

Haruka

Hey Dad! I'll be landing in about 5 minutes!

After collecting my bags, I headed outside.

...

Are they picking me up or not? They won't leave my 13 year old kid self to get a taxi by myself right?
