The Stupidity Of Love (Lev Haiba)

Interrupted Thoughts

After deciding that I was no longer going to practice with the boys' soccer club, I had to find somewhere new to practice. But sadly, I'd made no progress whatsoever. I was almost tempted to ask the volleyball club one more time but decided against it. It was unlikely they'd change their previous decision.

While absentmindedly doing my homework during the lunch break, I thought about the club I was in. With me being the sole member of the girls' soccer club, it really didn't matter if I practiced or not. It's not like I could be in any tournaments or matches. There was no reason to actually even continue the club at all, really.

I'd played soccer all through middle school, with a team even. I was one of the best on the team and had a chance to go to one of the better schools, though in the end, I chose Nekoma because... well because I liked it better and figured their soccer team would be pretty good. But lucky me, I was all alone when I got into high school.

Maybe that was Fate's way of telling me it was time to quit.. maybe-

My thoughts were interrupted by an unfamiliar face appearing in front of me and a loud voice. "You look a lot smaller up close," a gray-haired male said as he stared down at me. Or maybe not so unfamiliar... If my memory was correct, he was part of the volleyball team. "Yuuki said you're smart and that you could help me study since he can't."

Glancing over, I saw Shibayama giving me an apologetic look and mouthing something that I assumed was 'sorry.' Returning my gaze to the tall boy staring down at me with an idiotic grin on his face, I nodded. "As long as it's not History, I can help." That was actually a subject I'd always struggled with and hated. "I don't have any place to practice, I'm free anytime. So just let me know whenever... uh... I don't know your name."

The giant looked shocked that I didn't know him. Why? Was I supposed to? Sure, I might have known a lot of people, but I didn't know everyone. "Lev," he said with a stupid grin like I was supposed to recognize that name. "We can meet today after volleyball practice. "

I nodded with a smile. "Alright, I'll meet you then." As I tried to return to my textbook, Lev covered it with his hand, forcing me to look back at him.

"Come have lunch with me!" It was more of a statement than him asking. There was little room to argue it as he grabbed my hand and dragged me off with him. I barely even had time to grab SB as I was pulled along.

This Lev guy was definitely an odd one...
