Into A Fantasy! (Bokuto X Reader)

Chapter 2: The Boy Who Could Fly

By the time lunch rolled around, you were already exhausted from school. You just wanted to lay down and sleep. At least until a certain inconvenience came to your attention. Sighing and picking up your phone, you check to see if you got any notifications.

3 New Text Messages

'That's new..', You thought.

You opened your phone and smiled at the picture of an Owl on your homescreen. It reminded you of good times. You shook the thoughts from your head and opened your messages. You tilted your head slightly at the first group that came up.

The Volleyball Team, 1 New Message

You opened the group chat and held back a smile. A number you didn't know sent a picture of a little owlet smiling. The caption on the picture was something cheesy but, meaningful. 'Hope you have a "Hoot" of a day!' You shook your head at the childish thing and went to check your other messages. Completely forgetting why the heck you were even added into that group chat.

Deadbeat, 1 New Message

You rolled your eyes and gave out a long unforgiving sigh. Opening the Message and reading what your father had to say.

'Get food for yourself. Im going out of town for a few months. Don't expect me back. Don't die.'

Well. That was good to know. Now, how the heck are you gonna get money for food. You don't have a car. You don't have a job. Maybe you can stay with Akaashi here and there. His parents won't mind. Akaashi was always glad to have you around. Maybe you could stay with him if things got bad. You nodded to yourself, making your decision before going back to see your last text notification.

Best Boy Keiji, 1 New Message

You were glad to see Akaashi texting you. Maybe he was checking on you? Asking for help with school? You two were in the same year after all.

'I added you into the Volleyball chat. There are 3rd, 2nd and 1st years in the chat. I remember you said that you wanted to try to be the manager of the team or at least help. I figured I could repay you with this after all the times you've helped me with my sets. Please tell me if you want to back out.'

You couldn't help but smile at Akaashi's message. It was sweet and you really appreciated the fact that he listened to you. You decided to text him back, thanking him for adding you and that you were definitely considering it. He left you on read as the bell rang deeming lunch was over. You didn't eat. You were checking your messages and preparing yourself for when you dont have food.

A few gruesome lectures from the History teacher later, the bell rang. School was over for the day. You checked your phone quickly before going to meet up with Akaashi. He wasn't in his classroom like usual so, you figured he would be in the gym. Making your way to the gym, you hum softly to yourself. You didn't have anyone to talk to and you didn't want to be inside your own head for too long. A few girls were walking ahead of you. They were walking towards you and you recognized the leader of the three girls. The one with makeup caked on her face. She smirked seeing you and calls you out.

"HEY, STREET-RAT!!"

Aria yells throughout the halls. You pause at a standstill. The remaining students in the hall look from her to you. Other students run into a class or a bathroom to avoid Aria.

"Hello, Aria.." You whisper, keeping your head down to not make any eye contact.

"What are you doing here? Hm?" She shoves her finger in your face accusingly.

"Going to the gym. Why do you ask..?"

"What was that, Sweety? I didn't HEAR you." She puts a little more emphasis on the word 'hear'. 

"Why do you ask." You said plainly, already over her and wanting to see Akaashi to thank him. She was in the way and making a scene.

"Tch! I bet you made that up and you're going back to that hole in the ground you live in!" She started laughing and her two friends giggled, until the Red headed leader snapped her fingers. They walked around you, regaining their powerful stance and walking away. You looked back behind you and made sure they were gone. You sighed in relief as you started to run to the gym.
