Bubblegum Bitch - Ryūnosuke Tanaka x OC

CHAPTER FOUR

Classes couldn't have ended fast enough. The whole day she thought about Tanaka, and how she'd get to watch him play. She didn't know a thing about volleyball, but she was still excited.

The moment the bell rang, she dashed out of the classroom, making her way to the gym, which wasn't connected to the main school area, it was a whole new building. She took a deep breath and slid the door open, to reveal a whole team of very tall boys, especially the blonde with glasses. But their were also two short boys, one with ginger hair and the one she met when she met Tanaka.

"Hey, Emiko!" Tanaka greeted her. He was wearing a jersey with the number five on it, the whole team were wearing the same jerseys, just different numbers. Emi smiled and waved at him. "Guys, this is Emiko. She's the girl coming to watch practice."

The team waved, and she waved back hesitantly, smiling nervously. This was definitely nerve-wracking, but Tanaka was there, so she felt okay.

"Emi, this is Daichi, our captain, Sugawara, Asahi, Nishinoya, Ennoshita, Kageyama, Hinata, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Coach Ukai, Takeda, Kyioko, and me!" Tanaka introduced his teammates.

"So Tanaka, I take this your girlfriend you've been talking about." Daichi said, teasing the two. Emi's face exploded in pink, while Tanaka glared over at Daichi with flushed cheeks.

"Shut up, Daichi." Tanaka grunted through his teeth. "Emi, you can sit over here with Kyioko and Coach." Emi smiled and sat beside Kyioko. She was very pretty.

Practice began, they played on two different teams, one team on each side. Emi mainly looked at Tanaka, but occasionally looking over at the others. Tanaka's spikes were loud in the echoey gym, but every time he hit one, he looked over to see if she was watching, she always was. She always looked so proud whenever he hit one.

Eventually, practice was over and every boy was sweating immensely. It was around two hours long, but it felt like ten minutes to Emi. She loved watching them.

"So, Emiko," Daichi began, sitting beside her on the bench as everyone was distracted, "Would you wanna come watch practice again? You could even come to some of our games."

"Seriously?!" She said excitedly. Daichi nodded, then continued.

"Tanaka's spikes seem much better when you're here." Daichi said. "Plus he seems much happier."

Emi smiled to herself. He seemed much happier when she was there? That made her heart warm up.

"I'll definitely come to more practices." She said, turning her head to look at Daichi again.

"We actually have a game coming up in a week or so, against Seijoh. You could come with us." Daichi suggested. Emi nodded excitedly. Daichi smiled back, then left to go talk to Sugawara.

Emi walked up beside Tanaka, who was talking to Nishinoya.

"Hey, guess what?" Emi said. Tanaka turned his head slightly, as to say 'what?'. "Daichi said I could come to your match against Seijoh next week!" Tanaka's eyes widened, as did his smile.

"Sick! You can see me kick Oikawa's butt!" Tanaka exclaimed. Emi laughed and blushed slightly. He was excited for her to come, that was a relief.

"I better get going, Mom's probably wondering where I am." She announced. Everyone said goodbye to her, and she left.

Tanaka watched her as she left, a faint smile on his face. Daichi and Sugawara came up behind him.

"You like her, don't you?" Suga said with a smile. It was nice to see his friend have a genuine crush.

"I do, I really do." Tanaka said, looking at the two older boys. He was finally admitting it, he had a crush on Emiko.

"We have the perfect plan..." Daichi said.
