YOU & YOU' 𝙣. 𝙨𝙚𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙧𝙤

4:56P.M.

For the first time in a long time, I'm not inside that suffocating room. Right now I'm heading out to the field where I spot Reo and Nagi at the bench putting their cleats on.

The first one to spot me was Reo who was waving his hands in the air the moment he did. I snort at his actions. He's doing it as if we were in a crowded place, which is the opposite might I add. Regardless, I wave back with a small smile before approaching them.

"Hey (Y/n)." Reo greeted while returning the smile.

"Hey." I sat on the space next to them while pulling out my binder. Reo frowns at the sight and takes my binder from my hands.

"Hey! What was that about?!"

"Your supposed to be watching us." Reo rolls his eyes.

I swear I can hear a vein pop from my forehead. "Tsk. Fine. Give me that." I say as I reach my hand out to take it back.

Reo reluctantly gives it back while watching me to see if I'd keep my word. He lets out satisfied sigh when he sees me put it back in my bag. Smiling once again, he calls out to Nagi to come with him to do the warmups.

I realize that I'm just sitting here. Watching boys practice. I swear I'm gonna be bored out of my mind.

Surprisingly, I was not. Listen, watching sweaty boys run around the field chasing some ball is not my forte.

But, it wasn't like that. It was something more. From the way they play, the way they communicate from across the field, that glint in their eyes. It is something more.

I'm genuinely surprised at how interested I am in this without even knowing anything about it. Im impressed, really. I knew Reo was good, but I didn't know that he was this good. And let's not start with his partner, Nagi. The way he moves is almost inhuman. I swear I have not seen that boy move that way before until now.

It's impressive to the point where I forgot I was supposed to be studying my notes, too immersed in their playstyle. I find myself gaping, completely awestruck, a sense of proudness flowing through my body. The heated match is only adding to my interest. My eyes continue to move and follow the two boys around the field, a genuine smile plastered on my face.

"Hmm..It's getting late." I state as I look up to see the slowly darkening sky. "Let's go home Reo."

The said boy looks at me while sipping on the beverage I bought for him. After practice, I decided to treat them to snacks since I thought they deserved it. Cue to Nagi not finishing his because 'chewing is a hassle' and giving it to me instead.

"You can go first (Y/n). I'll stay a bit later."

'What.' I thought for the second time today.

Isn't that supposed to be my line?

I thought it was me who stays after school for much later, not the other way around. Letting out a sigh, I hesitantly agreed.

"Alright then. See you tomorrow, Reo, Nagi." I look at the two boys before waving and walking away. The former returning the wave while the latter simply nodded.

'Looks like I'll be going home alone for the first time huh.'

10:54P.M.

I stretch my body and hear the satisfying cracking sound of my bones. I just finished doing my assignments and was about to get ready to go to sleep. The urge to just jump on the bed and sleep is strong, but the urge to prevent pimples from stress is stronger.

I start putting on my headband to avoid getting any strands of hair fall on my face. Groaning, I get reminded of the many steps I have to do in skincare. I want to keep my clear skin, I really do, but it's tiring sometimes. I will forever curse people who have them naturally.

After the process, I take a minute to enjoy the cooling sensation that is left on my face after putting products upon products on it. The sensation only feeds my urge to sleep with how relaxing it feels.

With that, I immediately rush to my bed the moment I stepped out the bathroom. Laying down, I let out a contented sigh. I take my phone and put it on do not disturb before putting it back on the bedside table. Turning off the only light that illuminated the room, I envelop myself in the comfortable sheets of my bed and let sleep takeover.
