You are utterly a restless human being. After a long, tiring day at school, you would head to your grandfather's cafe to work. Your grandfather took you in after your parents divorced each other and left you, but you have to work for him at his newly opened cafe near Karasuno High. It was a stupid deal, yet you actually forced yourself to agree with it, so that your grandfather's feelings won't get hurt. Besides, your grandfather has a lack of employees, since the cafe was just newly opened, and it is a pretty good way to earn some extra cash.

Each day, your routine would get boring and boring... you were utterly annoyed, since you are a straight As student since elementary, and you wished to retain those high grades, sacrificing your rest and enjoyment in the process because after work, you would do your homeworks, and teachers will always give a truck load of work to students. Sometimes, you would even sacrifice your precious sleep, which you think is an important necessity to a human being; probably like the oxygen the living creatures breathe.

Today was one of those average days. After going to school, you would greet your grandfather, then wear the dumb beige cafe uniform your grandfather forces you to wear every time you work. You go to the counter, ask customers for their orders, and then, after the chef finished the orders, you would give them to the hungry customers you thought were hungry vultures, seeing them gulp down the delicacies served to them. It irritated you to see their lack of good table manners.

"Oi. One strawberry shortcake."

You mentally cringe at the voice. You knew that voice, and you thought that the speaker was the possible reincarnation of Satan. It was your classmate and sworn rival, Tsukishima Kei.

Both of you always were straight As student, but Kei always beats you at some subjects. That alone makes the tall, blonde guy get on your nerves, since he knows you struggle at those subjects, and mocks you for that.

"One strawberry shortcake." you called out to the chef, albeit irritated.

The chef gave you a thumbs up, then you glared at Kei as he found himself a seat. You clicked your tongue as you sat behind the counter and started to do some Math formulas. When you kept on tapping your pen as you concentrated on those mind-boggling algebraic expression, graphs, and whatnot, you couldn't help but steal a glance on your annoying, blonde rival.

As much as you hate to admit it, you actually have a crush on that salty, nerdy prick... You just didn't know why. You sighed to yourself, closed your eyes, and as you opened them you saw the face of your one and only archnemesis, Kei. The idiot was smirking at you, and his face was only like, an inch away from yours. Your (s/c) cheeks became crimson as his eyes met yours.

"(L/N), quit glancing at me secretly. If you like me, say it," he stated.

You immediately blew a fuse.

"Don't get so cocky, Tsukishima. I would never fall in love with someone as horrible as you...", you snapped.

"Why are you blushing then?", he retorted.

"Me? Blushing? You're drunk!", you spat. Although, the color red is clearly visible in your cheeks.

Just then, the chef had finished making Kei's order, so you had no choice but to bring it to him. You resisted the urge to smash the delicious dessert right in his face.

"Enjoy your meal," you spoke sarcastically.

"But, I would rather enjoy seeing that kind of look on your face, (L/N)...", he said as he smirked again at you, then winked.

Your face erupted into a thousand shades of red. You waved at him foolishly, blushing, while muttering at least a hundred vile curses against him under your breath.
