chapter 2 - jealousy

the brunette haired girl smiled at the orange haired boy.
the entire classroom was is awe by her smile, the orange haired boy blushed and hid his face.
the orange haired boy, hinata shoyo, did not notice her at all.
"okay sasume, sit beside mikashi"
"okay~"
the two girls waved at eachother smiling.
shoyo who was at the bottom right of shiro's chair, the whole period,
she spotted him staring at her a few times.

when it was finally lunch break...
"hey you, the orange haired guy"
the orange haired guy stops and takes a look.
"are you talking about me?"
"what are you talking about?
your the only orange haired guy here"
"oh... well what did you want to talk about?"
"ah, i spotted you staring at me a feq times-"
the orange haired boy shook and freezed
"its there anything you need from me?
why did you keep looking at me?"
"no...i dont need anything from you..and..i dont know... you just reminded me of someone..."
shoyo kept shaking and was nervous,
he was flustered by suddenly talking to a girl.
"which is?"
"huh, why do i need to tell you?"
shoyo's nervousness leaves him and looks at her with a stern face
"uh, because i need direct evidence?"
shiro got weirded out by the sudden change of expression.
"for what?"
"for you suspiciously looking at me..?"
"hmmmm..... fine, you reminded me of my childhood friend"
the orange haired boy pouts and looks into a different direction.
**so he does remember me, its just that he hasnt noticed me yet**
"shiro - chan~" mikashi said as she waved her hand high
"ah, coming kokoro~"
'gee, i told you to call me miko - chan'
'oh right i forgot'
shiro walks away leaving the orange haired boy without response.
"oI, hinata!!"
"ah, coming kageyama-kun"
"are you deaf? i kept calling you, boke!!"
'i told you to stop calling me that!
bakayama!!'
'haha?! you wanna fight?!'
'ooOoOOOooh bRinG iT!!!'
shiro slightly looks behind her, seeing how happy shoyo is.
'and i thought i was the only one that makes him smile like that...'
"what was that shiro - chan?"
"nothing"
shiro smiled
shoyo looked behind seeing shiro, with a confused look on his face.
"oi, hinata, lets go!"
the dark dark dark dark dark dark dakr dark dark dark (almost black) blue haired guy shouted.
"coming!!" shoyo replied.

-a few days later-
shiro was fixing her things and suddenly shoyo went up to her
with a questionable look.
"hey, sasume - san, do you play any sport?" shoyo asked
** sasume - san.... ** shiro whispered with an uncomfortable face.
( a/n : shiro says this because when they were still children, shoyo would usually call her, shiro - chan,
she is uncomfortable because of that. )

"not really.. why do you ask?"
"hm? oh well you just look kinda sporty, i guess?"
"well, do you have any sport to play?"
"huh, oh, i play volleyball!!"
"volleyball huh? i think i played volleyball in middle school once and a while.."
"so you played volleyball too..?"
"yeah, but i quit"
"huh? why did you quit?"
"its personal..."
the orange haired boy tilts his head,
confused.
"personal...? well okay then! i hope you play volleyball again though!
since its my favorite sport!!"
shoyo gives out a big smile
and leaves the classroom.
shiro's eyes widen.
she clenches her fist out of frustration.
** if only i could still play, if only i wasnt sick, shiro - chan? maybe i could've played with him just once..shiro - chan??...if only... **
shiro - chan!!!"
shiro was shocked.
"uh, yeah miko - chan?"
"whats wrong? you blacked out for a moment..."
"ah, no.. its nothing"
shiro smiles sarcasticly.
kokoro worried, her cheeks was flushed red.

as few weeks go by, shiro and shoyo kept talking,
they started being more fond of eachother again. well mostly shoyo.
they talked more and laughed more,
it was like they were back at being childhood friends. shiro, she was begining to smile again.
