Chapter 2: Hinata's POV

I skipped into the gym, ready for Kageyama and I's early morning practice. I looked around and noticed that I had beat him to the gym. I did a small fist pump, "yes!" I waited for five more minutes and Kageyama still hadn't arrived. I started jumping around with impatience and five more minutes later I decided to text him.

Hinata: Hey!!! Where r u?? Ur late

I sat upside-down on the bench, waiting for a response. Finally, he saw the message. It had been three minutes, and still no reply. "What the heck? He tells me not to be late to practice and then pulls this on me?"

Hinata: What the heck Bakayama! Answer me!

What was wrong with him? Sure, Kageyama was cold but he never outright ignored me. It hurt. We always practiced in the morning, so why wasn't he here? And why did he leave me on seen again? Well if Kageyama wasn't going to answer me then I guess there was no point in me being here. I walked over to a vending machine and grabbed some juice to drink. I waited for someone I knew to arrive by the lunch tables in front of the school. As I was sipping my juice I noticed a familiar blueberry-haired boy walk into school. I threw my juice-box into the trash as I sprinted after him. "Kageyama! Wait for me!"

Kageyama looked back at me and then continued walking down the hallway at a somewhat quicker pace. I couldn't believe him. Why was he doing this? Did he hate me now? What did I do? If he hated me I don't know what I would do. "What the fuck Kageyama?!"

Kageyama stopped the second he heard me curse. He turned around slowly and began walking my direction. He slapped me lightly on the head, "you're not allowed to say that," and then turned and began to walk away again.

I stood for a second, letting him go before grabbing his wrist. "Hey! I'm not going to let you block me out." Kageyama tried to shake his hand free but I refused to let go. "What is wrong? What did I do?" My voice broke a bit but I tried to cover it up with a cough.

Kageyama finally managed to shake my hand off his wrist. "Nothing is wrong."

I watched as he walked away again and felt my eyes begin to tingle so I quickly ran to the bathroom before anybody could see me cry. Once I got into the bathroom I sniffled as quietly as possible and wiped the tears from my eyes. This is so stupid. I knew he was like this, so why does it bother me so much? I looked at my reflection in the mirror and tried splashing my face with water so the swelling around my eyes would go down. When I was satisfied with how I looked I walked out of the bathroom and into my class where I waited for school to officially start.

Once the school day was over I headed to the locker rooms and changed for practice. While there I looked around for Kageyama but saw no sign of him. However, once I got into the gym I noticed him in a corner stretching. I observed quietly as he walked up to Daichi and had a conversation with our captain. After Kageyama walked away Daichi came up to me, "hey Hinata, I'm going to have Sugawara set for you today. You haven't practiced with him much, so I want you to get more of a feel for his sets in case we have to put him in for a game." I nodded and when Daichi had left looked up at the ceiling to stop myself from crying. Did Kageyama really not want to set for me anymore? 

I thought about what I could have possibly done to make him hate me so much. Then I realized, crap I forgot to take him off my private story when I posted that about a guy being cute. Maybe he realized it was about him and was disgusted with me now. Yeah, that's probably it. I felt my eyes prickle again and ran out of the gym as fast as I could. "Sorry guys, I have to go," I shouted behind me as I left the gym, hoping that nobody would follow me. 

I ran into the locker rooms and slumped against some lockers and my shoulders shook as I sobbed. Suddenly I heard the door open and I tried to stifle my noise. "Hinata?" I heard Asahi's voice call out. I sniffed unintentionally and Asahi must have heard me because he rounded the corner and saw me crying on the ground. "Oh my... Hinata? Are you okay?" I didn't say anything but I felt Asahi wrap his arms around me. "H- hey. Uh, Suga is a lot better with this stuff. But it'll be okay. Do you wanna talk about it?" I shook my head. "O- okay. Do you want me to go get someone else? I'm not good at comforting people." I shook my head again.

After five minutes of being wrapped in Asahi's embrace, I looked up at him. "You can go now. You should go back to practice, I'll be fine on my own." 

Asahi looked at me carefully before nodding. "You should go home Hinata. I'll tell Daichi." I nodded and left campus to walk home alone.
