Hide The Pain

Pt.4

"Who and why?" The nurse said turning around. "Oh god." She said as she saw Noya. She pointed towards a table and Noya climbed on top of it (with the help of Kiyoko of course).

"Let me see it." She said holding out her hand. Noya handed her his arm and she immediately noticed it was the same arm he iced earlier.

"Did you hide an injury from me again?!" She said loudly. Noya nodded, still refusing to look back at her. The nurse sighed and got up. "One of these days you're going to hide an injury that puts you out of your volleyball career! You are so lucky this is just a sprain!" She yelled. After a few minutes of this Noya tuned her out. His mind wandered for awhile until he felt someone flick his knee.

"Tell me when it hurts." The nurse said. She stared to slowly move his wrist up and down. Suddenly he felt the all too familiar sharp pain shooting up his arm and he visibly tensed "I take it that hurts?" The nurse said. Noya nodded. "How long has he been refusing to speak?" She said turning to Kiyoko.

"I want to say since everyone found out he was injured, which was around fifteen minutes ago." Kiyoko responded. Noya could hear the worry in her voice. He hated when people worried about him.

"Make a fist for me." The nurse said turning back to Noya. He tried, and yet again couldn't go further than about half way. The nurse grabbed bandages and started to wrap Noya's wrist. "Ukai and Daichi are gonna chew you out for this one. Same thing with the grey haired guy."

"Do you mean Suga?" Kiyoko said laughing.

"Yep! I can never seem to remember his name. Alright Noya get outta here. And I don't want to see you again for awhile." Kiyoko held the door open as Noya walked out. Soon enough they reached the gym doors and walked back inside. Noya sat on the bench next to Ukai.

"Did he say anything?" Ukai whispered to Kiyoko.

"No. Noya still refuses to talk to anyone. Also the nurse said it's just a sprain." Kiyoko whispered back.

"Noya is your mom home." Ukai asked.

"No. She's on a business trip."

"Grandpa?"

"Yes but if you want him to come get me he can't drive. He's also probably working right now."

"Who should I call then?"

"My sister. And I don't need to be picked up."

"I'm not calling her to have you picked you up don't worry. I'm simply calling because a parent or guardian should know you're injured. Now tell me her number." Noya told Ukai his sisters number. After putting it in his phone, he walked away to make the call.

"Nini is gonna be so mad at me for this one." Noya thought. Ukai walked back over and sat down on the bench.

"Your sister is intense, and she'll probably be coming here even though I told her she didn't have to." Ukai said.

"That's Nini for you." Noya responded. Ukai wrapped his arm around Noya.

"You're gonna get a talk from me and Daichi when we get back to the school." Noya nodded, refusing to take his eyes off the game. While he was watching everyone else he noticed Asahi looking back at Noya every once in awhile.

"He's worried. I made him worry more than usual. He's gonna do a bad job spiking because of how worried he is about me." Noya thought.

*BONUS! Nini's POV:*

"Saeko stop hogging the chips!" Nini yelled. They had been playing cards for awhile in the her room until Nini got a call. "It's a random number." She said.
