Today is the first day of my last year in shiritorizawa. I've made my time here very memorable but there's something bugging me.

Call me a freak. Call me weird but I'm in love with a monster. Well everybody calls him a monster. Shall I tell you about him?

He has red hair that stands up, he has gorgeous dark red eyes that can look into every bit of your soul and his mouth formed into a puppy like a shape. He's so beautiful.

People call him all the names under the sun like freak and mistake.

But there's something different about him...

Don't get me wrong, I do talk to him I'm not some stalker, I'm actually in the Volleyball club with him. That's how we met and I've come to love his weird ways. Even though he does say some questionable things.

"Hey Y/n" I hear Tendou call out from the other side of the sports hall. "Satori, waka-waka what's good?" I shout back making my way towards them.

"Still with the waka-waka thing?" Ushijima asks making me nod furiously. "It's not my fault other people liked the nickname too"

"How did your hair get pinker, it looks like cotton candy. I could just take a bite out of it" Satori rambles. "Please don't I got it retouched. The pink was going out and I'd look like a grandpa again"

"I feel like this year's going to be different," Tendou says whilst leaning on the pole. "But don't you worry your cute little head on it." He says whilst rubbing my hair. A light pink blush forms in my face. "Hey you three third years" coach yells "get practising"

Being a wing spiker is alright and all but our ace gets most of the attention. But I'm not even on the starting line because of some sucky first years. "No point even practising when I'm not going to get to play" I mutter under my breath thinking no one would here me. "Awe, y/n don't be like that you'll get to play someday plus it makes it easier"

Easier?

"So I bring the team down" I whisper whilst Satori walks away. If that's the case I might as well not even play on the team. "I'll be back coach" he nods whilst I exit the gym looking back to see Tendou mischievously smile at me.

That's why people call him a freak. It's like he gets off at people being in emotional pain. Sometimes he looks ecstatic when people get injured as well.

But do I really bring the team down? "What did he say now?" A voice says I look up and it's semi. "He said it's easier if I don't play. Do I really bring the team down is why I got replaced? Am j not good enough anymore I should just quit Volleyball, shouldn't I? I'm a problematic player"

"No y/n you know why you can't play on the team in competitive matches. Common say it with me"

"You ripped your tenant and you can't play under that stress"

"I know what injury I have. But stupid Shittykawa gets to play and he's injured."

"But does Oikawa get to go to nationals?" He asks and I shake my head indicating a no. "Plus it's not like you don't get to play. You do get to play and you rack up some points when you do"

"No, I don't waka-waka does"

"Not all the time. Don't listen to Tendou he's only trying to get a reaction out of you and it worked."

Semi is the mother of the group without a doubt. "Go wash your face and come back okay" I nod getting back up.

"TENDOU YOU MADE Y/N CRY AGAIN" I hear Semi shout "DON'T LOOK SO SMUG ABOUT IT"

I can't play that often because of my injury but I can't help feeling like I got replaced. I got my injury during a match, it was us versus inarizaki high. One of they're players didn't even know there own strength and when we went to block they miss aimed and spiked to my wrist.

Once practice was over Tendou, Ushijima and I head on over to our class. "You feeling okay now y/n?" Waka waka asks me. "Yeah, I always have to have a reminder of my self worth don't I?" I turn to Tendou who is trying his best to look innocent. "What? I didn't do anything"

"Have you guys read the new shonen jump? It's so good-"

"Satori, sweety. You know we don't read shonen jump" I remind whilst taking my seat. "Hey Y/n, you wanna come over tonight?" Satori asks in the middle of class. I turn to look at him and he's too close to comfort.

My heart beats faster and I hope he doesn't hear how loud it is. "Well?" He whispers in my ear completely blowing my mind. "Sure, I'll be there after practice"

"You're not coming this afternoon?" He asks and I shake my head. "Nope, I have something to do. Just don't tell Semi"

"Why? You scared of semi semi?" He teases "no, it's just if he finds out I skipped practice for any reason that isn't urgent I'll be a dead man walking"

"Tendou, l/n don't make me separate you" the teacher warns.

I can't believe I'll be going to Satori's house. Ah, I'm so lucky anyone would kill to go to there crushes house. However, something seems off. I can't put my finger on it though.
It's probably nothing. You've got to be crazy if you see Tendou and not think that somethings off.

"Do I have something on my face?" He asks obviously caught me starring. "I was just confirming how ugly you are" he gives me a look of disgust. "How dare you. You know you love me y/n don't even lie about it. But I could do better than you anyway." 

I have to admit it I'm an open book. "Shut up," I say whilst getting on with my work.

I still can't believe I'm going into the house tonight.
