Yachi's Older Sister

Thirteen

I watched as Yamaguchi went to serve in our practice match against Ukai's friends and watched him closely. When he served, he got serve points and I smiled. He even gave me a thumbs up and that cute grin he has. When the game ended, the boys had won and I was hugged by Yamaguchi.

"Thanks for helping me!"

"Of course!" I laughed and one of the guys from the other team came over.

"Not bad, Yamaguchi. I assume this is the person helping you?"

"Yes. This is Novalie Yachi." I smiled and the man shook my hand.

"I'm glad you're helping him." I nodded and he left then Asahi came over and kissed my head. My phone rang again and I growled as I answered, not even bothering to move away from the crowd.

"Who is this?" I snapped and Daichi looked at me as the guys slowly turned their attention to me.

"Awe, you don't remember me, Novalie!" The pitchy, easy to remember voice said and I glared at nothing as I stood straighter and left the gym.

"What do you want, Mina?" I asked and she giggled.

"I wanna come see you in your new home!" She said and I turned as the door opened and I saw the team coming out, making me back up some.

"No, you destroyed my life in Tokyo, I'm not letting you come here." I said and she cackled.

"Good talking to you!" She said and hung up, making me realize she was tracing my call.

"Fuck." I whispered and held my head.

"Fuck!" I yelled and punched the side of the gym, bruising my hand pretty badly.

"Novalie, what's wrong?" Asahi asked and grabbed me then I sighed.

"I-I'm sorry, Asahi. I can't anymore." I said and pulled my hand from his. I had maybe two days to distance myself from all my friends and family. I went into the gym and got my things then left but Asahi grabbed my elbow, making me stop.

"Novalie, don't do this. Please, I'm begging you, don't do this to me." He whispered and I jerked my arm from his grasp.

"You should have known what starting a relationship with a slut would be like. Be glad I took some of your innocence, Azumane." I said, not looking at him so he didn't see my tears, then heard someone come close.

"Novalie, what's wrong?" Tanaka asked and I turned my head some, my hair hiding my tears as they fell.

"What's wrong is I got close to all of the rats you call friends, Hitoka. Not even that little carrot bitch is good enough for me." I snapped and closed my eyes before I sobbed then left the school. Once I was a few blocks away, I sunk to the sidewalk and sobbed, not caring about all the people staring as they passed. That was the hardest thing I've ever done! Please forgive me, my friends! I pushed myself to my feet and forced myself to go home and lock my bedroom door before Hitoka came home to try and talk to me.

Asahi's POV
"Honey, please talk to us. What's wrong?" Mom asked and grabbed my shoulder but I continued to stare at my wall as I laid on my bed.

"Asahi-"

"Enough, Sweetheart. He's not going to talk." Dad cut mom off and Anna whispered my name as they left the room and shut the door, leaving me to my thoughts. She completely changed after that phone call. Who was on the other end? What did they say? What happened to her before she came here? Then a sob broke through my chapped lips and I hugged my pillow as I cried into the cool fabric.
