A

nother day passed and Shinsuke's dreams stayed the same and ever so real. He would always find himself holding his hand out as if to reach that girl he saw, just like how the boy in his dreams did. He knew in himself that he wasn't really the type to get attracted to a girl so simply, andhe hasn't even seen her whole face yet.

Their everyday morning practice allows him to at least take his mind off that topic which relaxed him. He would clean their clubroom everyday and would go as far as cleaning the bathroom near the gymnasium like he does and to distract himself. Soon enough, their morning session just ended after the whole team's diving laps around the whole court.

"Be sure to stretch properly or else your muscles will hurt after that much movement" he pointed out as the members sprawled on the floor one by one and proceeded.

"Yes!"said the members in unison.

Their coach gave him the privilege to deal with the training regime for the team and he did his best to make sure that every second is not wasted. He would text each and every member the solo training they should do at home and would always tell the others to be punctual.

"Practice continues later after classes, do well in your subjects if you don't want me to personally tutor you one by one" Shinsuke announced in front of the whole team, with a white towel draped around his neck, he eyed them one by one.

Osamu nodded, "I can manage Kita-san. I think 'Tsumu 'ere wants to get tutored" said the gray haired twin.

To which, Atsumu, growled at. "Oi! I didn't say anything! Damn you 'Samu!" He retorted, scared that Shinsuke would actually take his twin's words seriously.

Shinsuke, being the captain, gave each and every one of them a stern look before breaking out to a smile. "We still have 2 months to prepare, after that we don't have to worry about anything"he said.

Although he didn't say anything special nor encouraging like most of the captains, the whole team of Inarizaki had their morale's boosted. Knowing that Shinsuke tended to speak facts and not sugarcoated words, setting aside that they're indeed good individually, all of them felt cheered up by Shinsuke's words.

"Practice starts at 4 pm sharp, be late and you'll run 10 laps around the school" he said and turned his back along with Aran, hearing the groans from the members he left behind.

Shinsuke even heard Suna sigh, "I would take a nap if Kita-san is just joking"

Tarou Oomi, their coach, laughs resounded inside the gymnasium. "Unfortunately, Kita's dead serious so you guys better come on time" he said.

That was the last Shinsuke and Aran heard as they entered the rear side of the main building just next to the court. "So we need to get this approved by the president, huh?"Shinsuke mumbled, scanning the paper in his hands, and seeing the cost of their whole trip to the Finals.

"Yes. Omimi included the new designs of our jerseys and the uniforms" Aran replied as they casually walked through the long hallway of Inarizaki.

The Captain nodded slowly, "Let's get this done and head back to class Aran-kun" he said and walked a bit faster.

Soon enough, the two reached the front door of the Student Council Room and heard muffled voices from inside, a loud once probably belonging to a female. Shinsuke blinked realizing that the previous male president was replaced by a female from the advanced third year class.

"Who's the current president, Aran-kun?" He turned and asked his friend.

"Yamanobe Shizuku from Class 3-2. I don't know much about her but I heard before that she's highly respected by both the teachers and the students" Aran explained, face remaining stoic as he stood next to him.

Shinsuke nodded slowly, quite impressed that a girl is managing the school's student council, which is really hard since the SC is considered to be a dependable aid of the principal. They manage the budgets needed for the club activities, school festivals and fundraisings.

"Quite impressive. Let's meet the esteemed president then" Shinsuke knocked slowly but no one from the inside answered. "Should I just go in?" He asked Aran.

The said boy nodded, "We'll be late if we wait for them"

"Okay okay" Shinsuke slowly turned the knob, and peeked his head inside the small room.

"Excuse me?"

Shinsuke's eyes landed on the dark-haired girl sitting behind a small desk,

As soon as their eyes met, the world was stopped in time.

✿

Shinsuke's chest ached as if he was robbed of the air itself as soon as he saw those lips on the girl. It wasn't plump, nor too colorful, nor perfectly shaped, but those pair of lips were all he could see in his dreams. He couldn't be mistaken now. It didn't help when the black-haired female pursed her lips, giving him almost all of the proof that she was indeed the girl he always sees in his dreams.

She's real?

That girl is real and even attends my school?

Or maybe it was just too much of a resemblance.

No, it can't be.

That was supposed to be a figment of my imagination.

I must be going mad.
