08- Day 2: Sports Day ੈ✩‧₊˚

Arishira's POV:

THE parade yesterday was a successful one. Good thing that I made it on time, I had my attendance as well. But now, the athletes are getting ready. Osamu is at the gym and they're practicing. So is me, I was practicing because I'm playing table tennis later on.

When I was eight years old. Dad already told me how to play table tennis. Dad also told me that he went to the nationals years ago before I was born.

My opponents for the first match are second-year students. During practice, I kept missing the ball or when the ball doesn't land on the other side of the table. I last played table tennis like 2 years ago. I also did some practices last night with my dad because we had a ping-pong table at home, but I still need more practice.

"OUT!" Our coach said and it was referred to me. This is the 7th time already. I must've gripped my table tennis blade too strong.

I continued playing, my opponent for this practice is my teammate for the doubles. The serve for the doubles is a bit complicated since it's diagonal or something.

I wonder how Osamu is doing right now.

OSAMU'S POINT OF VIEW

The team was practicing volleyball and I was standing to the side as I watched. I didn't have to do much as I had a break. I was watching as our team members were messing up and missing. It was aggravating.

I then noticed Ari from the corner of my eye. She was playing table tennis at the actual tennis court-- of course, they're using a ping-pong table and seemed to be quite good at it.

I didn't know that she plays table tennis.

My eyes were on her then I turned my attention back to the team.

"What are they doing? They're messing up!"

"They'll get it."

I rolled my eyes.

I continued watching as my team kept messing up. If we won this game and on another rounds, we might actually go to nationals again. Some weren't trying as hard. I was getting annoyed with them. I wanted more from them. I wanted the best. She was still playing and continued to look incredible. She didn't seem to notice me watching her. I focused my attention on her.

I watched her practice and she was hitting the balls over and over, making a straight line. Her shots were powerful and accurate. She's getting good at it. I wanted my team to be like that..

I couldn't help but be impressed. She was a natural at this sport. I continued watching her and she then stopped as she noticed me. She made eye contact with me as I was still watching her from a distance.

How could she even notice me from a far. Sure-- I can actually see the view at the tennis court outside the gym.

I wasn't expecting her to look in my direction. I didn't know what to do. I ended up awkwardly looking away. Dammit..

I was caught off-guard. No, I didn't expect her to look at me. I quickly looked away, hoping she didn't notice I was looking at her. I hoped she didn't notice how impressed I was with her skills. I needed to look composed as I watched her from the distance. My team members were still messing up..

"This is getting annoying already.." I mumbled and went inside the gym once more.

Arishira. Ari. you're making me blush.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

The whistle blew, signalling that the volleyball game had started. My heart started to race as the game started. I looked around, analyzing if my team members were all at their positions. I spotted Atsumu across from me, the team's ace and another setter. He had a smirk on his face as he looked at me. He was probably trying to one-up me already..

"Let's win this one," I mumbled aloud as I got into position.

I want Ari to watch this important match. She keeps me motivated. But she has a table tennis match at this hour.

The rotation changed and I prepared to serve the ball over to the other team. I wanted to start strong to make the competition know we meant business. I looked at the opposing team and readied myself. I served the ball over the net and the opposing team received it but it was not powerful. We were already in the lead..

"Great pass!" Shinsuke called out. This was going well already..

I continued to keep serving over to the other team. My serves were fast and powerful as I focused on winning. I wasn't going to let Atsumu get ahead of me. I was determined to do this alone as I served the ball again and it was received once more. This time, it was a stronger receive. They had caught up to us..

"Don't drop it.." I mumbled under my breath.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

People who are watching shouted.

The game ended with our team winning. We had out-spiked them with ease. We had won. I was panting heavily from the game but my adrenaline was still high. My team members were yelling, some of them jumping up and down in excitement.

The coach blew his whistle to signal the end of the game which prompted the award-giving to begin.

Everyone was lined up at the side as the coach made the announcement of the players who had earned their awards. I was third in line, right behind the two spikers. I waited patiently for my turn to receive my award for winning the game.

ARIGATOGOZAIMASU!

All of us bowed and we headed to our opponents to shake hands.

As we're done shaking hands with our opponent which is a powerhouse school-- Shiratorizawa High.

"ALL RIGHT! We're going to the nationals." My nosy brother mumbled and I simply nodded.

Arishira's POV:

"Second place is not so bad." My partner for doubles mumbled. Her name is Miyuki, she is a student from Class 1-B.

As the awarding is finished. I walked away from the tennis court and headed towards the gym. My silver medal is hanging at my neck, as if it's a necklace. I hope Osamu is proud of me.

I went inside and I saw Osamu packing his things up, I went closer and poked him and turned to me.

"Osamu!" I said as I took the medal off and I made him wear it.

"H-hey..." Osamu uttered shyly and I let out a low chuckle.

When I saw his medal. I froze. "Woah... You're going to nationals?!"

A sly smirk appeared on his face. "Yes."

I jumped and hugged him. I could tell that he's shocked because on how his body is reacting. But be responded, and hugged me back.

"Congratulations Osamu! I love you." I said excitingly while still hugging him.

"Congrats on winning second place. I'm so proud. So damn proud." He said with his emotionless voice and I buried my head onto his chest.

But then, he started to speak again.

"I love you too."
