Love.

Infatuation.

Everyone goes through it at some point of their life. The curiosity of a person's young, tender heart to discover and explore new, unknown grounds. The desire to find a partner, to experiment, to know this foreign feeling. The thrill of a racing heart, the warmth of a companion, the promise of a shoulder to lean on-the driving force to this curiosity. This journey could be long, could be short, the experience either good, or bad and like all journeys, it's never a smooth ride. Unexpected twists, turns and obstacles litter the route. Mistakes are unavoidable-we're only human, and teenagers like us, on the road to maturation, are more prone to making them.

It's alright to fall, pick yourself up and learn from your mistakes, they say.

But it doesn't change the fact that it hurts. It always does.

Aomine-kun and I... we just weren't meant to be... It was a mutual decision. Both of us agreed that it would be better to end it and start afresh. It just... wasn't right. Things were awkward at first but now we're back to where we were at the very start. Friends.

Failures.

They tend to leave a scar. A reminder of the past. A warning to us not make the same mistake. It leaves us afraid. Afraid to try again. Afraid of yet another failure. Afraid of the pain that comes with it.

My first relationship. My first, failed relationship has imprinted in me that very scar. I've picked myself up. I've recovered from that wound. I've moved on. But the scar stays. The scar, the fear haunts me as I move. I'm afraid to try, to give myself another chance at love. It's just an infatuation, I tell myself. I'm just blinded by his perfection. I'm just confused. I'm just mistaken. Besides, a person like Akashi-kun would never fall for someone like me.

Sfx: Basketball sounds lololol

It's another day of practice.

"Ryouta!" Aomine-kun calls, passing the ball to Kise-kun who catches it perfectly, going for a quick dunk which earns us a solid two points.

"Yes!"

"Nice!" The tanned male praised, giving Kise-kun a fist bump. The fist bump we used to do ever so often. I look away. Recently, Aomine-kun's passes haven't been passing through me very often, especially if they were directed at Kise-kun. Though they haven't announced it, it didn't take a genius to tell that the two of them had started dating.

"Pass to me." Midorima-kun nodded to Akashi-kun.

"Atsushi, defense."

Akashi-kun is a natural born leader. He's the best captain we could ever ask for. Although he may appear intimidating, he's actually really kind and cares greatly for all of us. He's smart, talented, good looking and of course, way above my level. I'm nothing compared to him. He's way beyond my reach. I don't deserve someone like him. I'll never be able to stand as his equal.

"Don't let Midorima-kun get the ball." Nijimura-senpai called, running over to try and steal the ball from Akashi-kun. The redhead evaded his attempts with ease. Seeing as both Aomine-kun and Kise-kun were busy blocking Haizaki-kun and Murasakibara-kun, I decided to step forward. Akashi-kun's eyes quickly darted to me, reading my movements as he skillfully manoeuvred the ball out of my reach. Our fingers brushed for a split second, electricity shooting through my veins as my heart raced, momentarily distracted. Snap out of it! Keep your emotions in check.
