"Let's go (y/n)! I want to stay in hot water as long a possible." Rika, the ash-blond short female, shouted towards your direction. You looked over your shoulder and watched the small dark brown eyes rush into the girl's hot spring. You chuckled and looked back into the light green eyes of Rintaro. 

"Looks like your new friend is waiting for you." The tall male smirked while looking down into your (e/c) eyes. It made him happy knowing you found someone to talk to. 

"Yeah. Well, talk later, Rin." You replied and turned on your heel. Rintaro furrowed his narrow brows together when he heard your new nickname for him. 

"Rin?" He asked loudly, and before you entered the hot spring, you smirked back at the confused male. 

"You don't like it?" You asked him and noticed the small blush on his pale cheeks. You didn't need to wait for his answer to know what he was going to say. It made Suna grew nervous because of how you handled his first name, but then again he recalled to himself that you called the twins by there first name, and you only saw them as friends.

Slowly you stepped into the hot water and felt your muscles relax immediately. Rika smiled at you, looking a high a blue moon, and giggles when you swam next to her. The air smelled like fresh roses and tea leaves, and you opened your eyes to see the steam flying in the air. 

"Why did you call Suna-kun Rin?" Rika suddenly asked you. Her ash-blond hair flowed over her shoulders like a soothing waterfall. (Y/n) was about to answer, but before you could part your lips, some stepped in front of you. Sakura, your classmates and the person you hated the most on this sweet planet earth, smirked down at you. 

"Rika-chan! Finally found someone who likes that shitty band of yours?" She laughed at the girl next to you. Both of you rolled your eyes and tried to ignore the female standing in front of you. 

"What do you want, Sakura?" You sighed and looked into the blue eyes of your bully. You never understood why she didn't like you. 

Is it because you lied about your mother or because of your relationship with the boy from the volleyball team. 

Whatever it was it annoyed you. 

"I just came here to warn Rika-chan." The dyed blond female sighed and looked at Rika like she was a poor lost puppy. 

"About what? All the rumours you spread in school are fake anyway." Rika exclaimed angrily. She didn't like how Sakura tried to make herself feel better by bullying someone else. Rika glanced at the side of your face, waiting for some kind of anger to surface on your face, but nothing happened. Your (e/c) eyes stared into the deep sea-blue sky while your body fell deeper into simmering water. 

"Did she tell you that?" Sakura chuckled loudly. The other girls already noticed the building tension between the three of you and frankly you are were not surprised that many more tried to eavesdrop on your conversation. 

"Yea and don't say that she would lie! How can we know that you are not lying to us?" Rika replied with an angry voice. It surprised you that she fought for you. You didn't expect someone who only met you 12 hours ago to stick her neck out for you. 

"She was the one who lied about her mother!" Sakura hissed. Her ocean-blue eyes eyed you with hatred buried deep down in them. The blond dyed female couldn't stand the side of you. 

What did you have that she didn't? She wasn't jealous of the fame your last name hold or the fact that your mother was one of the most famous models in Japan. She even pitied you a little bit because of that. However, it made her mad, seeing you hang around Suna and the Miya twins. She couldn't understand why your relationship when them was neutral. 

"So what?" The sudden sound of your tired voice made her and Rika's eyes turn to you. They didn't expect you to say anything. 

"Yes, I lied about my mother but if you use that one brain cell of yours you might understand why I did it." You snapped at the ocean-blue eyes. Sakura sees widen when you suddenly jumped on your feet. The hot water ran down your warm skin but before Sakura could snap back you started to yell. 

"How do you think it is to grow up with a woman, who hates you because you ruined her body for a year? Do you think she loved me when I was born? She wanted to get rid of me but my father, a poor man who fell in love with a facade, had to take care of me alone an give up his job and his passion just because of me!" Your body was shaking when you shouted in her face. Sakura back away from you, fear covering her pretty face while everyone else looked at you in shock. 

"Tell anyone what you want about me! Tell them lies about me, but remember that I lied once to make my life easier and maybe find friends. However you, you lied because... I don't even know why you tell all these lies about me! Are you jealous of me?" You asked the frightened female. She felt her lungs tie up and couldn't find the strength to answer to you. Sakura never felt this overwhelmed in her entire life.  

"Do you actually think that by making my life miserable someone is going to like you? What kind of logic is that? You like Atsumu, right? Well, I am not a threat to you! Take him and leave me alone already! We are just friends anyway but you never bother to ask, did you?"

 It felt like someone cut off an enormous weight that laid on your shoulders. Your limbs were shaking while you made your way out of the hot spring. You didn't care about all the confused, shocked and overall chaotic faces that watched every move of your body. Your skin started to freeze when you stepped fully of the hot water. Quickly you walked towards your belongs and wrapped your shaking body in a soft bathrobe. Without looking back you sprinted out of the hot springs. 

Your view is being blocked by tears forming in your eyes and you didn't notice how someone watched you. You ran to a close-by vending machine, which was in a small dark corner, and before tears started to stream out of your eyes you slid down to the ground. Slowly you pulled your knees to your breasts and silently cried into the soft fabric of you bathrobe. 

The sound of steps made you freeze in your action. With your hot breath caught between your soft lips, you tried to look up to the person who stopped right in front of you. Your vision was still blurry from your tears you before you could focus on the person they threw something at you. 

"Let's go."

Your eyes widen in shock when heard his voice but without a second thought, you took the soft fabric and grabbed his large hand. With a sad smile, you looked into his glowing eyes. 

"I can't believe it's you."
