i love u to the moon and back 月島 ft.tsukishima kei

pt.5

About a week had past and your cell phone was blown up with texts from your family. Tons of selfies and random messages were sent from your mom. You laughed to yourself as you read them. You were actually starting to settle in at the school. You later learned that Yamaguchi was also a part of the volleyball club.

"I'd love to come to one of your games sometime!" You said to Yamaguchi, the two of you walking back into the classroom after lunch. Tsukishima had entered moments before and had already taken his seat.

The blonde looked up and spoke before Yamaguchi could get the chance.

"No."

"Please! I'm a huge volleyball fan."

He tried to changed the subject quickly.

"Why is your Japanese so good for a foreigner, are you a freak or something" he said. This was the first time you actually ever looked him in the eye. You waited a moment, enjoying gazing into his brown orbs.

"I don't know if that's a complement or not"
You said giggling while you adjusted your glasses

"Just answer the damn question" he said, clearly agitated.

"Well, I guess I just really wanted to learn the language. I thought it was pretty and much cooler than English. I devoted time to work hard on it. I want to live here someday."

"Oh" he replied, slipping his headphones that hung loose around his neck onto his head.

Soon, the bell rang, indicating class. You watched as Amy and Mia sat down on other sides of the classroom. You reached into your bag and pulled out a pink pen with a hello kitty charm on it and a notebook with a cat. You were well aware of your cat addiction.

"Alright class. Now that we are all settled into the year, it's time to start learning. As you may already know, you have different teachers for different periods. In this science class, we will be learning about elements and properties sense you learned about life science in previous years. In this classroom, we do mostly group projects instead of essays. I believe group projects opportunities to get to know your classmates as well as prepare you for future projects you may have to do when you work. " The teacher said and she paced back and forth at the front of the classroom.

"We are going to dive right into this unit." She said "take out your note books, we will first be studying magma."

As you flipped to the first page, you started taking notes on the properties of magma. Your mother had gifted you a set of Japanese stationery, so you had fun journaling and making cute doodles and highlighting the key concepts. You had always been a visual person, so diagrams helped you understand the concepts of the lecture better.

"You are going to partner up with the person next to you." You glanced over at Tsukishima who seemed like he had heard nothing.

"You will have a week to complete a presentation of choice on magma. Be creative, this is the first scored project of the year."

You had filled a full page by the time class had ended. As you were packing up, Yamaguchi glanced over and saw your notes before you shut the book.

"Oh my gosh! Your notes are so cute!" He said gawking at the note book. "Your hand writing is so neat!"

You laughed it off and shyly disagreed. You stuffed your books into your bag before you felt someone swing an arm around you. It was Mia. She ruffled your hair before reaching out a hand to Yamaguchi.

"Hi! I'm Mia Astume. I'm also from America. I'm half Japanese so that's why I have a Japanese last name." She said with a kind smile. Tsukishima stood up with his bag and eyed the girl who has slung to you weirdly. He then started off for his next class.

"Sorry about him! He's not really a people-person" Yamaguchi apologized.

"No worries" said Mia with a small laugh.

"Mia, who is your partner for the project?" You said moving yourself from out of grasp.

"Hm...I think some boy named Nakeme..." she said trying to concentrate. "He was quiet so I didn't quite catch much of what he said...."

"Oh Nakeme-San!" Said Yamaguchi "he's very kind. He went to my junior high. If I remember correctly, he's shy with everyone at first but will eventually warm up to you...unlike someone I know.." he said glancing in the direction where Tsukishima has just exited. Mia laughed again and tugged your arm to get going.

"Wait I forgot something." You said to her as you walked down the hallway. You turned around and started off in the direction of the blonde who had left moments before.

"Hey wait! You're gonna make us late!" Mia Called after you.

"Go on ahead! Don't worry, I'll make my way back." You yelled back as you ran down the hallway.

Now, which way did he go....
