Cʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ I: Eɴᴅɪɴɢs ᴀɴᴅ Bᴇɢɪɴɴɪɴɢs

I walked through the halls carefully, I didn't want to meet up with the third years by accident. I've been running away from the volleyball boys club for a while, to be exact, since when I was in my first year.

I don't want the others to be worried about me, I hate seeing them worried about me, it makes me feel like I'm a burden to them. I made up any kind of excuses to the third years, to my classmates, to my friends, to everyone, that I realized that I've been pushing them away from me

Every time that I arrived at my house, a resemblance of a volleyball court appeared in my vision, that went on for 3 weeks until now. Why is my brain trying to make me come back to what I loved once? I don't want to be involved in that stupid sport

But, here I am...

I'm in front of the volleyball gym doors, I was nervous and scared too, how can I face them after I pushed them away? How?

Breathing deeply, I raised my hand to open the doors, unexpectedly, someone opened it surprising me a little. I stood there freezed, I didn't take my gaze from the floor, I was ashamed of myself.

"Ichika?" A soft voice asked as if he didn't believe that I was there

I couldn't say anything even if I wanted to, I didn't know what to say, feeling guilty I waved at whoever was there

"H-Hello" I greeted lifting my gaze, just to encounter Kiyoko's smile "Sorry" I apologized bowing at her, I left all my manager duty to her because I was a coward who ran away from her responsibilities

"It's alright, your brother told me everything" She said patting my shoulder in a comforting way "Luckily, no one's here yet" she added walking in

I walked into the gym after taking my shoes off to put my volleyball shoes, I breathed deeply to calm me down. The smell of the gym was nostalgic and calming to me, it was strange, but nice

"I'm sorry that I left you all my duties as a manager" I said bowing at her again

"As I said before, it's alright, you needed time for yourself" Kiyoko said sending her a smile

After a few minutes, I helped Kiyoko to set the net up and preparing the balls when the team arrives, not gonna lie, I was very nervous.

Then, the gym doors opened as various males started to going in, it was them. I avoided them a little bit by distancing myself from them or hiding behind Kiyoko, but that was useless when Sugawara spotted me beside her

"Oh! Ichika!" The grey haired boy exclaimed as he ran at me pulling me into a tight hug "I missed you so much! I'm glad you finally came!" He said happily putting me down carefully

I hummed at his happiness, he always made me flustered or nervous, but in a good way. I saw how Daichi approached to me too, he had a stern look on his face, I don't know if I should be happy or worried

"You pushed all of us away without any explanation, you didn't send us any text or even told us if you were okay" he started to mention "I thought you were switching schools or happened to you the worse things that I had in mind" he said as he put a hand on my shoulder "You made us worried sick!" He added pained at the thought that something bad had happened to me
