Something more (Soramafu & Urasaka)

Chapter 9

Soraru hadn't expected himself to be called on. Out of everyone in here it just had to be me? He wasn't the only one confused, soon other students started to talk around him and express their thoughts.

"Soraru playing? What a joke, I bet he doesn't care at all."
"It could've been anyone, but they had to chose the delinquent."
"Great, we're going to lose now."
"Why can't they just play without him?"

Soraru glared at some of his classmates, causing them to quiet down. He sigh, it can't be helped, and walked towards the court with a bored expression. Mafu and the others looked at Soraru as he walked.

"I wonder if Soraru can play?" Senra remembered about how Sakata said that the raven-haired wasn't athletic.

"Well knowing how the other students are, I don't think they'd let the ball get near him. Pretty sure they'd just hog it." Amatsuki rolled his eyes as that was pretty much what they were going to do anyways.

Mafu looked at Soraru worriedly, they might try to injury him on purpose so he'd get out of the game. Urata and Shima watched Soraru stand in the corner of his teams's side of the court.

Urata sighed, so much for trying to apologize during the game. He could only shake his head as he figured that Soraru wouldn't even play. Sakata stared at his brother before smiling to himself.

Maybe niichan will actually try his best since Mafu is watching. He noticed how his brother seemed to look at the albino a bit more often than before. The coach blew their whistle to signal the match was starting up again.

As Amatsuki said the ball didn't go near Soraru, who just stood in the corner with his arms folded and watched the ball bounce back and forth. The game went on, the 3rd years were behind by less than 10 points and only a few minutes left.

One of the 3rd years tried to hit the ball but it went over their head and headed towards Soraru. He noticed the ball and bumped it back with enough force to get it over the net. The teachers tried to hit it back but missed, resulting in the 3rd years getting the point.

The students looked at Soraru with shock. They hadn't expected him to actually try and play. Soraru just gave them a emotionless stare before turning back to the game as the ball was in motion again. He was able to score points and soon the 3rd years were three points ahead the teachers.

Sakata smirked to himself, I knew it he is actually trying to play this time. Soon all the negative comments the classmates were making about him started to turn positive as they began to cheer for him.

"Go Soraru!"
"You can do it!"
"He looks so cool!"
"That was a nice spike."

Lon sighed as she heard the cheers from her classmates. They really have lightning fast change in attitude. She rolled her eyes at how people in the school only treat others nicely when they happen to do something that they agree with or like. She had seen it time and time again that at this point she isn't surprised. Lon wasn't the only one unsurprised by the cheers from students.

The guys also sighed at the school's whiplash towards Soraru. Funny how one moment they think you're the scum of the earth, the next you're like a god. Mafu could only shake his head at them.

The volleyball match ended with the 3rd years winning. Sakata was going to go congratulate his brother for playing but saw that he was soon surrounded by other classmates and students.

"That's was so cool Soraru."
"Hey are you single?"
"Please go on a date with me!"
"I've always been watching you from afar."
"Wanna hang out later?"

Soraru just ignored them and walked by, not sparing them a single glance. So now they decide to like me? Soraru thought sarcastically as he left the gym to get a drink because he was tired and thirsty from playing. Right now there was a small break before it was the 2nd years' turn to go against the 1st years. As Soraru left the gym, the chatter became lively.
