Fluttering my eyes open, I hum. Lazily grabbing my charging phone, I check the time with my eyes squinted. My alarm is going to go off in a few minutes. Wait a second, fuck... That whole party situation was a dream, wasn't it? None of that happened. Makes sense though, my parents would never let me wear that outfit.

Sitting up, I turn off my alarm and get up out of bed to start my morning routine. Once I'm done, I walk over to my closet to pick out an outfit for the day. After I've done that, I head downstairs with my phone and backpack.

"Hello, dear. Want something to eat?" My mom asks curiously, watching as I walk into the kitchen and shake my head. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, mom. I'm sure. I gotta head out though, my friends want me at school early today." I say, the woman's eyes glossing over. "What's wrong?" I ask worriedly, tilting my head to the side a tad.

"I'm just so happy you've made some real friends. After Sota, I was afraid you wouldn't make any. But I told you that they would love you for you, didn't I? It doesn't matter if Iwaizumi doesn't like you because you have the others." She says softly, placing her hand on my cheek and smiling. "Everything will turn out alright tomorrow at your friend's party." She adds before pushing me in the direction of the front door. "Now get your shoes on and go." She says, chuckling. Nodding, I walk out the door after putting on my shoes and head over to my car.

Sliding in, I drop my backpack on the passenger seat and start up the car after putting on my seatbelt. Driving forward, I wait for the gate to open before pulling onto the main road that leads to my school. The school is pretty close by, so it doesn't take long at all to get there.

Pulling into the school parking lot, I park in my designated parking space with Atsumu, Akaashi, and Makki waiting for me by the white Jeep Wrangler. Stepping out with my backpack swung over my shoulder, I shut the door and lock my car.

"What took you so damn long?" Makki asks.

"My mom was crying about how I finally made real friends," I say sheepishly, looking down at the ground. Before I can process it, the three hug me tightly, tears welling in my own eyes. After a few moments, they pull away with smiles on their faces.

"Don't cry, please? Of course, we're your friends. We're real unlike those fake motherfuckers." Atsumu says, rolling his eyes. "Now let's go inside." He adds, grabbing my hand and dragging me inside with the other two.

Making it to math after getting my stuff from my locker, Makki goes off to his 1st period. Feeling my phone buzz, I pull it out from my back pocket as I sit down. Fuck... not again...

8:23 AM. You got me in trouble with the police, my dear Tooru. You know, I've missed you, but getting me in trouble like that is asking for it. Don't think I don't know where you live. If you tell ANYONE, I'll fucking kill you, and you know I'm not bluffing.

Sota, please leave me alone. I don't know what I did to deserve this treatment from you. All I ever did was be nice to you, and yet, that still wasn't good enough. I feel like a failure because of you. You fucked up my life pretty damn good. I want nothing to do with you anymore, and I'll go to the police department after school just to get you arrested for violating the restraining order. 8:24 AM.

8:24 AM. I don't care and you know I don't.

For fuck'sake, leave me alone! 8:25 AM.
