Getting to know You (Oikawa Tooru )

35.

Ushijima and I walked silently through the halls of Shiritorizawa Academy. I awkwardly rung my hands together, growing more and more nervous by the second.

He had shown me where the locker room was I had locked up my soccer bag safely away, keeping only my phone, headphones and wallet. Then we had continued into more awkwardness.

'Why won't he just finish this tour and let me get lost on my first day? I mean come on, this is torture!'

"This is the gym."

"Interesting." I remarked back. The gym was quiet and completely empty. It looked like no one had been there all day. "Did you have practice this morning?"

"Yes."

"Okay." I drew out. "Was it a full team practice?"

"No."

'Oh my god this is like pulling teeth.'

"So did only you practice?"

"Yes, I sometimes like to be practice by myself after a team practice to help focus."

The air was filled with silence again and I was ready to jump out of a third story window. It was agonizingly painful.

"Why did you decide to give me my tour?" I asked. He stopped and turned completely to look at me. I tilted my head in confusion at him. I mean this guy was weird. I guess I got so used to Oikawa weird that quiet weird was just too much.

"I was asked to."

"Do you know why?" I asked. I was growing curious. I had nothing else to ask about so might as well ask about this.

He shrugged and continued walking.

"Or maybe not." I mumbled as I followed behind him.

After what felt like eons the tour finished without much more of hitch, since it was silent other than his introduction of random rooms. When the tour was finally finished Ushijima led me back outside to where my bicycle was chained up.

I put in the combination and removed the chain. Then I tied the chain up onto my handle bars for safe keeping.

"Thank you Ushijima-San." I said with a bow.

He said nothing, just made a grumbling noise but he seemed content that I had called him by his actual name and not Ushiwaka.

'I think the only reason this tour was so awkward because he wasn't sure what to make of me yet on where my loyalties lie. At at least I hope that's why.'

I said nothing and went to climb onto my bike when I thought I saw movement out of the corner of my eye.

"Wait." Ushijima said as he placed a hand on my handlebars. "Do you know Oikawa Tooru?"

I looked at him in confusion, my eyebrows pulling together. "Yes. We did go to school together."

'Why does everyone have to bring up Oikawa every five minutes?'

There was that movement again. I turned and still saw that there was nothing there.

"Tell him he should have come to Shiritorizawa as well."

I felt like a girl in an anime with dots above her head as she stood there in complete confusion. This was definitely the weirdest conversation and tour I have ever had in my entire life.

"I think that's something you should tell yourself there buddy." I said as I tapped his forearm awkwardly.

Quickly I turned and I finally spotted something. A lock of curly brown hair.
