Hinata 2

It's been a few weeks after that first encounter with Hinata and ever since then we would eat lunch occasionally when my friends are busy he and I would eat in the classroom and after he would try to persuade me to play volleyball with him. Which I always decline since I am very not the type that plays any sport.

It makes me tired too much

Hinata grows restless every single day as the Spring Interhigh National Tournament Miyagi Prefecture Qualifying Rounds grows nearer and nearer.

"Americaaaaaa chan!" I flinched at the nickname he started calling me that in random occasions I prefer not being called america but I can't stop him.

He ran towards me from the end of the hall, he was holding a volleyball and trying to catch his breath"Set for me please"

I sighed "Hinata chan I don't know how to play you can always ask Kageyama" he frowned and started uttering something I couldn't hear

"What did you say? "

"He's by the vending machine staring at the yogurt and milk" he started dribbling the ball "He's ignoring me" he looked at me expectantly with wide eyes

I don't even know what a set is

"Okay I can try to help you" his frown turned into a big smile

"Yay!!" he jumped and I was shocked to how high it was "Let's go Americaaa!" then I was dragged to the field.

It wasn't that bad all he asked was throw the ball straight up. We were struggling for the first five minites but after that Hinata was able to hit the ball many times. After he spikes it he would chase the ball to retrieve it, I got worried a little thinking he might be tired already.

Because believe me when I say this but my arms are tired

"Hinata shall we take a break first? you look tired"

He tilted his head and stared at me for a moment "Sorry are you tired? We can take a break Ellie chan" was it too obvious that I looked tired?

He quickly lead me to a shady place by the tree where we can sit out for a few minutes. I grabbed the water bottle I brought with me and started drinking little by little until it was empty. He asked me if I wanted some more and told me he can get one by the vending machine but I told him not to bother.

Kageyama passed by, he walked towards us "Oi what are you doing here" I watched Hinata sit up straighter and stared at Kageyama with uncertainty

"America chan is helping me with my spikes" Kageyama looked back at him with a confused expression

Tilting his head to the side he asked "America?" Hinata nodded vigorously and pointed to me

"This is Ellie chan"

"Hello"

"Hi" I replied wide eyed I've seen him from time to time especially when he would come by the classroom to call Hinata for their volleyball practice. The weirdest thing is that I've never seen him smile he looks snobbish and there's always an irritated look permanently stuck to his face.

"You moron couldn't you wait to practice later? You let a girl practice with you under the sun how stupid" Kageyama glared intensely at Hinata

If looks could kill hinata would be dead already.

Hinata pursed his lips and looked at Kageyama with annoyance and his cheeks puffed up "Whatever, let's go Ellie chan" he grabbed my hand and quickly lead me back to the classroom while apologizing to me multiple times along the way.

We were nearing the room and Hinata still hasn't let go of my hand "Hinata kun" he looked back at me with a questioning look with cheeks glowing pink I shifted my eyes to our intertwined hands, he followed my gaze he too blushed but slowly let go of my hand. He started scratching the back of his neck.

"Hehe" he gave me his bright adorable smile before ushering me quickly back to my seat.
