Only for you || A Ushijima Wakatoshi Ff

•chapter six•

At practice, Wakatoshi placed a bottle right outside the line.

"Why are you putting it outside?" I asked

He ignored my question and just went under the net, and grabbed a ball.

"Aim for the very edge of the bottle. The ball should still be inside."

"That's way too accurate."

"You need that accuracy to hit the ball. I'll toss to you, try your best to hit it as I said."

His aura while teaching is so different. A lot more serious and a lot more focused.
He tossed to me and I spiked the ball but it hit the bottle, which was basically outside.

...

Day 4
I was slowly getting the hang of it and I was getting tired as well. But I wanted to learn this as quickly as possible. I had to keep pushing.

"10 more," he said.

"How about 15?"

"You guys are still here?"

We both turn in the direction of the voice, it was Eita.

"Yeah, why are you here, still in your gym clothes?" I asked.

"I left my phone here. Did you see it?"
He began searching near the benches.

"No, we didn't. Check in that corner." I said as I pointed to where I meant. He went there and his phone was right there.

"So how is practice going." He sat on the floor outside the court.

"Idk, Wakatoshi, how am I doing? Is it good?"

He had a small smug on his face, "You're really good. You should get it by the day after..."

I could hear Wakatoshi speak. But I couldn't understand what he was saying. My vision became blurry. I saw the two of them standing next to me.

"Catch me,"

Black out.

I saw her stumble as I spoke. Slowly, she lowered her head. Semi-kun and I grabbed her arms. I push her face up for me to see and her eyes roll to the back of her head.

"Catch me,"

As she said that she fell into our arms. I look at Semi, he looks at me.

"I'll carry her," I said, "You go notify her friends." I picked her up on my back and Semi ran towards the girls'dorm and I went to the infirmary.

"Sensei! She's passed out!" I yell. The doctor helped me, put her on the bed.

"Was she practicing?" She asked me. I answered positively.

"It could be exhaustion then, nothing much to worry. Though, she needs two days complete rest after this no ifs no buts." I nodded and sat next to Maiko's bed. I took a deep breath, a little scared of what the coaches reaction would be.

"Maiko!!!"

"Hey! No yelling in the infirmary!" The doctor shouted back. It was Yamashita-chan (shiori) along with other of Maiko's friends and Semi-kun.

"What did the doctor say?" Semi asked.

"Exhaustion. She will need two days rest. No practice."

"I will go and tell the coaches about this," Yamashita-chan said.

"Why? Wait until she wakes up at least!" Uchida-chan (Chiyoko) protested.

"It's better if they get to know asap. I don't want them to yell at Maiko again. They've already been very harsh on her since she came back from the camp."

Semi nodded, "Its best if you go right now, Shiori-chan. The rest of us are here."

With that, she bolted out of the door.

"What did she mean by very harsh? What has been happening?" I asked.

Adachi-chan sighed and answered, "She's been getting yelled at for the smallest mistake. Which, honestly are not mistakes just, not according to the coaches."

"Whatt?!" Semi exclaimed, "Why?"

"We don't know. But we think, since there is a 85% chance she will go to the national team, they want her to be a good representive of Shiratorizawa for girls."

"But she already is." I commented.

"You know how strict the coaches can be."

We all nodded.

I hope I wasn't the one who pushed her too much.
