At the same moment as Arūna set the ball to Atsuko with a crooked receive from Kanako, the coach whistled loudly again, disturbing Arūna's focus & making her almost fall flat on her face due to the loss of balance.
Arūna looked up while standing on her hands & knees, a confused look occupying her previous expression.
- That's enough for today! Make sure to clean up quickly and get a good night's rest for tomorrow's practice match!
Arūna muttered a quiet "okay" while watching the other girls scurry around, placing on their jackets & putting away volleyballs. She got up from the floor, running her fingers through her hair while searching for the clock on the wall.
It was almost half past four. Arūna would need to hurry if she wanted to make it in time for her next session. The girl headed towards Akari, who was trying to get the volleyball net untied, but failed miserably.
- Here, I can do it. - Arūna offered.
Akari backed away from the net & placed a hand on her hip as she watched the girl in front of her untie the knot. She'd managed to do it in just a few seconds, but her already bruised fingers reddened even more.
- So... Arū'chan, what's up between you and... Oikawa?
Arūna continued to untie the second knot:
- Nothing. I'm just helping him study.
- That's not what it looks like! - Sora shouted from afar, a volleyball dropping from her hands.
- Hm? Is our little Rūna'chan finally getting herself out there?! - Yui asked excitedly.
Arūna's brows furrowed a little as she looked at the two with a foiled expression.
- He's just another client.
- That's good. You should focus on your studies rather than stupid relationships. - Arūna's teammate exclaimed as she headed towards Arūna with the other part of the net.
Arūna's head perked towards the girl.
- See? Suzune gets it.
Akari pouted.
- Well, that's boring. I finally thought you would have a little more life besides volleyball and school.
- It's whatever, Kanako. My marks will get me somewhere in life, not a pretty boy, hopefully.
Akari smirked.
- So, you think he's pretty? - she asked while walking along with Arūna to the janitor's closet to place away the net in her hands.
Arūna placed on her jersey jacket & zipped it:
- I mean, yeah, he's pretty. But that's just it.
- Okay, okay. I see how it is. Oikawa is just pretty.
Arūna squinted at the girl:
- ...Yeah? That's all there is to that.
- Mmmhm, - Akari hummed as she smirked at Arūna with a mischievous grin, - and I thought the same when I saw her and him, but then I fell for our manly leaders, Kuroo and Sora!
Akari draped her arm over Sora's shoulder as Sora tried to back away.
- You need to stop this, or else I'll get a restraining order.
Akari crossed her arms & pouted childishly:
- Fine, fine. Yui! - she ran towards the girl. - You like hugs right?
Arūna had almost giggled to herself. She found the obnoxious flirting rather entertaining as long as it wasn't her. It was even better to watch, knowing Akari had no interest in any of her teammates.
Fumika turned around, hearing footsteps come from behind her. It was Arūna, holding her knee pads in her hand.
- Hey, Fumi, sorry to ask, but could you mop for me this time?... I need to head out a little earlier, but I'll clean up for you next time.
- Sure. I was just about to put away the mop, so thanks for letting me know.
- Thanks, I owe you one. Have a good day, Fumi.
- You too!
Kanako leaned her elbow onto Fumika's shoulder after having escaped Akari's grace, startling the younger one a little. Kanako squinted as she watched Arūna put on her outside shoes.
- You want her place as libero, don't you?
Fumika's shoulders relaxed. She laughed.
- What makes you think that?
- You kept staring at her each time she received it instead of looking at the ball.
Fumika giggled before continuing to mop the floor.
- That's because Rūna looks good with her hair up.
