Your Mentor

Jealous

Yukikos POV

Tuesday 6th, 2012

Rise had dropped me off at the night festival, but I am a little disappointed that I'll be parting ways from her soon. "Are you sure I can't convince you to stay? Maybe it'll turn out fun" I said "I already told you, I don't do good in those social situations plus I don't even know these guys" she said "I know, but what are you going to do all night then? Are you going to be ok by yourself?" I asked "I'll be fine, you know I can handle myself, you go and have fun but if anything happens kick, run, and call me" she said; I giggled, "yes ma'am, be safe" I bid her goodbye and headed to the spot where Ushijima said to meet. I didn't see anyone at the moment but in my nature I am early to every event I go to, I sat on a bench and texted Ushijima to know I had arrived.

"Yukiko-san?" I heard an unfamiliar voice call out my name; I lifted my head and saw a boy looking at me. He had brown styled hair, hazel eyes, and a very familiar face; "yes? Um, do I know you?" I asked "my apologies, I'm Tooru Oikawa, I'm acquaintances with Ushijima" he said taking my hand and kissing it. My face heated up at the sudden romantic action, "o-oh! Hi it's nice to meet you, Yukiko Hakura. Have we met before?" I asked "maybe in your dreams~" he said, winking at me. He's a real charmer, the confidence he has was impressive but I could've sworn that I've seen him before...maybe it's just deja vu.

"You sure know how to talk to a girl" I said "a beautiful one like you deserves the attention, I hope I didn't keep you waiting" he said. As much of a social butterfly as I am, it mainly showed at school. When someone I hardly know compliments me I become very flustered. It's also coming from an attractive guy, "no I just got here, is Ushijima with you by any chance?" I asked. His face dropped from the smile he had when I mentioned his name, "I didn't ride with him, but I bet he's around...how do you know him by the way?" he asked "I practice volleyball with him, he approached me at the end of one of my games and asked me. He was really sweet but I didn't realize how talented he was until our first session" I said. "I guess you could say that, you play?" he asked "I do, I'm a setter" I said "what a coincidence, I'm also a setter, seems like we're meant to be" he said laughing. I laughed with him, "seems so, not that we're meant to be just that we're both setters" I laughed nervously. I could see a hint of disappointment on his face and the atmosphere after that felt off as if I offended him somehow.

"Well...we should um...maybe start looking for Ushijima? He might be lost or something" I said. "There's no need", I jumped and looked behind me. He had appeared behind holding a large teddy bear and two cotton candy bags. "Good evening Haruka-san,I see you've met Oikawa" he said "we did meet, she's a real catch, what's all that stuff?" Oikawa asked, "I got here an hour ago and I won a teddy bear." He said handing me the bear "I hope you enjoy it" he said. I was shocked, he got this for me? It was a huge white teddy bear with a pink bow tie. "You really got this for me?" I asked "yes, you've told me during one of our sessions that you love stuffed animals. Do you not like it?" he asked "No! I love it, thank you so much!" I said. I stared at the bear and smiled, "they also had a sale on cotton candy, I got you one and this is one's for you Oikawa-kun. It's a thanks for inviting me" he said, handing us the sugary treat. "Aww how sweet" I said "yeah thanks" Oikawa mumbled and snatched the candy.

"I'm glad to have satisfied both of you" he said "you say that as if winning a stuffed animal is hard, I bet I can win double then what you win" Oikawa said. His sudden competitive attitude shocked me, he's acting so much differently after Ushijima arrived but I guess when you play sports you develop that kind of attitude. "Is that a challenge?" Ushijima asked, "It sure is!" Oikawa exclaimed. I stood between the two boys; I have this feeling that they've had some kind of competitive attitude towards each other before because they seemed really comfortable with it. "Uh boys, it's not a competition, we're here to have fun" I said trying to ease the tension "please Yukiko-san! This is my fight; you shouldn't get involved" Oikawa said dramatically "he's right, I'll make sure to satisfy you with more plushies" Ushijima said not so dramatically. Oikawa groaned, "how bold of you to assume that she wants YOU to satisfy her, mark my words I will win the most plushies!". Oikawa rushed to the festival games leaving me and Ushijima alone, everything was happening so fast that I was honestly lost. Ushijima rushed to the other direction leaving me alone with my bear and candy..."what the hell" I mumbled.
