CHAPTER 18 - NEW BEGINNINGS

WORDS BETWEEN - - MEANS THOUGHTS

POV - (L/N) (M/N)/ITOSHI (F/N)

I was in full on panic mode. -I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I HAVE TO TELL HIM THIS EARLY!- 

"Y-Yoichi-kun... H-hear me out!" I started.

The said male turned his back towards me and started to walk away.

 I quickly looked around before I opened my mouth. 

"I have to tell you something that I've kept for a long time... I'm a girl." I confessed.

I looked down at my feets. I then heard Yoichi-kun stop walking. 

"Wait, so I'm actually not gay?" I lifted my head up so quickly that I thought I might get whiplash. 

"W-what? W-wait, you're telling me..." I started.

"I haven't been falling for a boy all this time, huh?" I watched Yoichi-kun walking towards me and stopped right in front of me.

I blushed at the closeness and tried to back away and look away when he grabbed me by the shoulders. 

"I'm... Sorry if I deceived you." I muttered.

Yoichi-kun then hugged me all of a sudden. 

"There's nothing to be sorry about, (M/N)-kun or whatever your name is. Something must have happened for you to cross dress." He said.

In that very hallway, I told the slightly taller male everything. 

"So in the end, your real name is Itoshi (F/N). The little sister of Itoshi Rin and Sae. Your parents divorced and your 'mother' wanted you to replace your brothers since she didn't want a daughter." I nodded. 

"Pretty much." I said. "Wow. You had to deal with so much..." Yoichi-kun said.

I smiled. "It's not that bad since I'm used to it. Because of that, I was able to meet Seishiro and Reo. I got to meet my brothers and lastly, I got to meet you." I said.

I didn't know why but I felt tears slowly running down my cheeks. 

"Don't cry." Yoichi-kun wiped them for me. "Come on, let's get to the locker rooms." He said.

Yoichi looked down at me. "You go first, I need to go to the washroom." He told me.

"Alright. I'll see you later." Before he could leave, I gave him a peck on the cheek. 

"If we win today, you can take me out on a date after and maybe, I can be your girlfriend." I winked at him before leaving.

When I arrived in the locker room, I greeted everyone before going to my corner and dropping off my bags. 

I then took off my outer layer, showing off my jersey. 

"Looks good on you, (M/N)." I looked to my side to see Rin-nii looking at me with a small smile. 

"Thanks. Yours looks good on you too, Rin-nii." I smiled.

I was talking with Rin-nii and I didn't see nor hear Yoichi-kun walking in. 

When Ego-san walked in, he had his pep talk with us. 

"Hello, I'm running a little late but I've decided who will be on the bench. We're allowed max 5 subs. Do not let your guard down during the match and be ready to join at any moment."

Ego-san looked at all of us. 

"With the past 2 weeks with the goal of winning this match, you all have succeeded in coming together as a team. The world doesn't know you yet, so this is your stage. In these next 90 minutes, change your fate. We're winning this Blue Lock, today, your egos will be known." He said.
