Secret Message - SemiShira

1

Shirabu's Pov

"Just no Tendou, that's a bad idea" I shake my head, looking at the lanky boy in front of me

The redhead rubbed his chin in confusion "This is the best idea I've ever had! What do you mean Shiraboob?"

I grabbed the bridge of my nose as I sighed in response "First of all, stop calling me that. Second, Why would you make a rainbow cake for Ushijima? Isn't that odd?"

"Shirabu! That's what I'm talking about. It's just like Ushiwaka, dull on the outside, rainbow on the inside" he winks at me, sadly I understood what he was implying way too quickly

"Tendou-" I began when a blonde-headed boy swang his arm around my upperclassmen's shoulder

"What's up," he says, first looking at Tendou, then at me

"Ah, perfect timing Semisemi! Shirabu here thinks that a rainbow cake is not suited for Ushiwaka, I say that it is" Tendou glances at the boy next to him, ready for an answer

"Gosh Satori, I'll have to go with Kenjirou on this one. Ushijima wouldn't like a rainbow cake" he replied while smiling at me

I give a death stare at Tendou which he ignores

The spiky head grabbed Semi's shoulders and shook him "You have to hear my reason first" He decided to explain it again

Semi raised his eyebrows in realization "Oh, I get what you're talking about, but I still think it's a bit odd"

"You guys don't know anything!" Tendou rolled his eyes "Anyways, where were you? I was looking for you everywhere!"

"Band practice, a performance is coming up soon"

"Ooooo when?"

"Next week"

"That soon? Heck I'll definitely be there"

Semi's gaze trails off to me "Will you be there Kenjirou? I've got to have my favorite kohai there to support me" Semi raised his eyebrows

I shake my head and reply "No I can't, I have to study for an upcoming exam"

Tendou rolls his eyes for what seems like the 100th time today "Com'on Kenjirou! You're soooo boring! It's only a half an hour performance, it won't do any harm. And our talented Eita is the lead guitarist" he rocks back on forward on his heels

"I'll see what I can do" I see a slight smile creep up in the corner of Semi's lips but I ignore it. He's too full of himself and Tendou is not making it any better by praising him

"You better" Satori Claps his hands together which makes me jump

"I've got to go, I have class soon" I turned around and quickly walked away from the two, feeling a mixture of relief and embarrassment

It was all fine until Semi showed up. I don't know what it is but something about him makes me so nervous, it's creepy

It's probably because he's in a band and he is so popular, while I'm not as popular so it would seem weird for  me to hang around him

I really don't want to get involved with him too much but what can I do? Tendou is always all up in my face and he's friends with Semi, so I can't really do much to avoid him

As I continued down the hallway, I could still feel the weight of their gaze on my back. I mentally scolded myself for leaving so abruptly. Why did I always let myself get so worked up over Semi? He was just talking, but it annoyed the shit out of me. It was as if I couldn't escape his presence without feeling awkward

Reaching a corner of the school, I planted my face in my hands, letting out a frustrated groan. It was moments like these when I questioned why I even associated with them in the first place. Because of volleyball, a stupid club I joined back in high school

"Ugh!" I muttered under my breath, realizing a bit too late that I was not alone. The sound of my voice carried down the hallway, catching the attention of passing students. Great, just what I needed, to draw more attention to myself

I hastily looked around, trying to gauge how many people had heard my outburst. The sight of curious onlookers only added to my frustration. I knew I should have kept my frustration to myself, but it was too late now. I had inadvertently made a spectacle of myself.

Taking a deep breath, I quickly composed myself and straightened my posture. There was no use dwelling on the situation any longer. I had to focus on my priorities, which meant studying and maintaining my academic performance. As much as I cared about Ushijima's birthday, I couldn't let that distract my work today

With determination, I pushed aside the awkwardness and continued on my way, ignoring the lingering gazes that followed me

My first SemiShira story I've written, What do you think? How is the first chapter?
The amount of time Tendou autocorrected to tendon was so annoying!
