The Girl On The Volleyball Team

10. The Night Before.

The cold night air brushed against Selene's cheek as she sat on the cold concrete in her back yard tinkering with her skateboard. Listening to the sounds of the screw driver and medal connect made her zone out to yesterdays quarter final game. It was a three set game with Karasuno losing the second set but taking the first and third. The game before that, they had lost Kageyama for a little due to a nose bleed. Then yesterday, Daichi and Tanaka had a bad collision, sending their captain out for the rest of the game. Still remembering the sound Daichi made when connecting with Tanaka's shoulder made her tighten the grip on the screw driver. He had passed out for a second but when he came too, he seemed okay, besides the bruise on the side of his face and lip. Though, once he spat out a tooth, Coach Ukai sent him to the medical ward with Kiyoko.

"Damn it..." She cursed herself.

"You seem vary tense while working on that skate board?" A familiar voice called.

Startled and confused, she spotted Suga on top of her fence looking down at her.

"S-Suga-kun, what are you doing?" She questioned, setting her screwdriver down.

"Well, I heard the sound of desperation from over this fence," he replies, swinging his feet.

"EH!?"

Huffing, Selene hides her cold face into the inside of her hoodie before resting the skate board in her lap. Softening his eyes, Suga gives the female a gentle look as she stares down at the ground.

"Hey, yesterday was not your fault, Daichi's completely fine. Hes just gonna have a bruised face," he tries, dropping from the fence and entering the females backyard.

"If I would have been smarter when spiking, I- I could have prevented all of that... Tanaka must feel terrible," Selene speaks her mind.

"Hey, you did everything you could. Yeah, they stopped your spike and Daichi got hurt. But, he's fine and we still won and tomorrow we'll win again! With, hopefully, no more injuries," Suga tries while taking a seat in front of Selene.

Looking up, she looks into his chocolate eyes as they rest against his knees. Slightly smiling back, she fully lifts her face and stares up at the sky.

"I guess your right, but..." Her eyes flatter again.

"No buts, quit worrying, its not like you to worry so much about others," Suga interrupted while nudging his foot into hers.

Shocked, her wide blue eyes look down at an nonchalant Kōshi Sugawara. A laugh leaves her throat, making her close her eyes from embarrassment. He takes a moment while she's not looking to examine her features. She had many beauty marks around her face, though, the ones that stood out the most were the two under her left eye and one on both sides of her cheek. Selene's arms also showed many more when playing, some more dominant than others. For some reason, Suga found Selene's nose ring vary attractive, though, he'd never admit it. Opening her eyes, she noticed how Suga's eyes shifted to the side before going back to her.

"I guess your right, but, I do worry about you guys all the time. Especially Hinata, hes gonna get his ass beat one of these days. Whether that be me or someone else," Selene sweat dropped as Suga held in a chuckle.

"I guess little miss cold hearted does have a heart," he teased.

"Oh shut it, Kōshi-kun," Selene playfully snapped before tensing up.

Shooting from her spot and sending the pieces of her Skate board to the side, Selene began to franticly bow in apology.

"I-I-I'M SO S-SORRY! I-IT JU-ST SLIPPED O-OUT-"

"Hahaha!" Suga interrupted.

Confused, she looked down at her laughing upper classmen. He fell back onto the concrete, making his hoodie slightly buff up. Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he looked over at a nervous Selene.

"Selene-kun, you can call me whatever you want," he spoke to relive the female of her stress.

Taking a deep breath in, the said teen flopped back onto the ground. Suga positions himself that he can lay down and watch Selene work on her skateboard. They sit in silence while she goes back to working on her skateboard.

"What even are you doing to your board?" He questions, not fully understanding how they work.

"I'm putting in new tracks, the others were busted and about to fall apart on me. And, I'd rather not fall on my ass before our game tomorrow," Selene explains, pushing back a strand of her red hair.

"Yeah, we don't want to lose our wing spiker before and during our game with Aobajohsai," Suga states.

After another moment he stands up, catching the females attention.

"Well, you should probably get some rest, we got a big game ahead of us tomorrow!" Suga cheers.

"Yeah, probably, you get home safely, kōish-kun," Selene replied, not failing to miss the blush apparent on his cheeks after she said his name.

"Thanks, see you tomorrow..." He replies heading towards the fence.

Amusingly, she watches him pull himself up and over before he's outta site. After she comfires hes gone, the female lets her face turn completely red before stuffing it into her balled up sleeves. A muffled squeal comes after as she falls over. The same went for Suga, letting his face go completely red while walking back home.
