11 - The Goddess Herself

Tsukishima walked in and your heart skipped a beat as your eyes met. You looked down and went back to stretching as Tsuki went to change. But one thought kept circling your head and it was all you could focus on.

What did Mamoru mean when she said you weren't ready? Or when she said that the beginning of last practice meant otherwise?

You finished warming up, and started bumping the ball against the wall. You didn't drop the ball once, even when Kiyoko came up in all her goddess-like glory. You caught the ball when she was behind you and you turned around. You waved at her shyly.

"Hello (L/N)-san! Sugawara-san had told me to invite you to lunch today. Since our lunch is just over an hour (my old schools lunch was from 10:50 to 12:10 and it was literally the best thing i miss it so much), are you okay going out to a ramen restaurant with me? Don't worry, it is really close, about a 7 minute walk."

'she talks so professionally..'  you thought.

"Uhm yea I'm good with that, though is there any reason why?" you asked, though you could already guess it was because Suga had wanted to make sure you eat today.

"Sugawara-san hadn't given me a reason, but I would like to get to know you a bit better, so our plans are partly for selfish reasons as well." she stated, a slight smile and embarrassed blush on her face.

"Oh okay well sure. Where do you wanna meet?" you asked, slightly wondering if it was gonna be awkward

"How about here in the gym?" Kiyoko suggested

You opened your mouth to agree, but Takeda sensei had called everyone over, so you looked at Kiyoko and nodded in confirmation, then walked over to where everyone was gathering. 

You sat down on the ground towards the side of the semi circle, although everyone else was standing but you didn't really care. You glanced over towards coach Ukai and he had a slight smirk on his face, anticipating the news of whatever was about to be said. At least you knew it was either torture for the team, or something exciting.

"Okay guys, I've managed to set up a practice match with Nekoma!"

Everyone was cheering, excited to have an official practice match with another school. Meanwhile you were trying to place where you had heard that school before. It sounded vaguely familiar and it was annoying you that you couldn't place where it was from.

The practice match had been scheduled for the end of today, and the lunch plans with Kiyoko had your lunch slot taken up, so today was going to be a rather social day. 

All you wanted to do was go back home and talk to Mamoru, or maybe spend some time figuring out what the heck she was trying to do with the field that night.

The bell rang and everyone dispersed to the locker rooms to get changed. You made your way to the girls change room, and once inside you changed back into the school uniform. The skirt was slightly too short for your liking so you kept the volleyball shorts on and exited the change room.

Arriving at class, finally you weren't late.

'I have English first period?! Ugh.., your mood dropping.

Having skipped all of the first day, and first period of the second day, naturally you had only found out the course as you sat down in the class. The teacher was droning on about some story including a guitar and music lessons to the 4 kids, including you, who were currently sitting down.

The second bell rang, indicating class was officially starting, and the rest of the students trickled into the classroom, all of them technically being late. The first unit had been introduced the day before, and turns out it was sonnets.
