Tendou felt off during practice. His teammates noticed too, but didn't say anything. His blocks where off way too many times and he got hit with the ball once or twice.
"Tendou!" The coach called. Tendou sighed and made us way towards the coach. Ready to be yelled at. As he thought, he did get yelled at, then got told to go home early.
With is annoyance written all over his face, he walked out. He took out his phone and texted his mother, telling her he'll be out longer than usual. He got the okay and left his bag on his front porch.
Tendou thought about the girl in his math class while he walked. She was interesting. She had some sort of pull on him and he wanted to know why.

The next day in class, Tendou couldn't help but glance at you. He didn't even care if you noticed. But in the middle of the lesson, you glanced back. Your eyes met and neither of you looked away.
You had noticed him staring at you for a while but didn't mind. You wanted to see how he would react if you caught him. You were, in fact, quite surprised at the outcome. You looked back at the board with your cheeks tinted pink.
Tendou smirked at your reaction. He also turned back towards the board.

You and Naomi were currently sitting on the bench, talking about the project. You went silent when you heard two girls talking not to far away.
"Someone told me she lived alone, and her parents abandoned her." Your breath hitched.
"If she was my child, I'd do the same." They laughed and walked off. You look down, slightly angry and embarrassed. They were definitely talking about you.
"Y/N?" Naomi noticed her friend's mood and looked at her in concern.
"I'm going home." You stood up and walked off, not letting her finish.
From a far, Tendou watched the whole scene go down. A small part of him felt anger. He didn't like what the girls said, even if the first part was true.
He walked over to were he last saw the girls. He found them walking in an alley and quietly ran up behind one. He grabbed her by the neck and slammed her against the wall.
"Hey!-"
"Where did you hear it." Tendou said bitterly. The girl on the wall struggled to gain breath, while the other had already ran away. "Tell me!"
"S-Some...... girl..." She continued trying to gain breath to explain. Tendou slightly loosened his grip, but not too much. She sucked in as much breath as possible and explained.

"Naomi?"
"Y-yeah! Her..." Her voice gave out and Tendou finally let go. She fell on the ground and coughed. Tendou took out his phone as the girl ran away.
"Naomi? The girl that's always around Y/N.... Son of a bitch..." Tendou needed to fix this, and fast. If you get any closer with this Naomi girl, you'll start telling her more. And that means more rumors will go around.
Tendou sighed. He had to get rid of her. Somehow.
