The Bell Rings
Hinata snaps out of his train of thought. Class is over. He looks down at his notebook, the page is empty. He hasn't written a single note.
He spent the whole time wandering about Nishiyama.
But why?
He can't understand.
He's not that fascinating, is he?
He looks over at Nishiyama packing his things away before heading to his next class. He feels he should say something. At least be friendly and properly introduce himself to the new boy. It's only polite.
Hinata opens his mouth trying to say a word, any word....
"Nishiyama-kun!?" a voice says. Nishiyama looks up as a girl approaches. She stands in front of him, kinda nervous.
"I'm Akihito Sara. Nice to meet you, Nishiyama"
"It's nice to meet you, Akihito Sara" He says grinningly. "But please, just call me Fìonn"
"O-OK Fìonn. Just call me Sara" She replies
They both chuckle. It can be hard to meet new people.
As he starts to get ready to leave to go to his next class, other classmates approach to introduce themselves and ask him all sorts of questions.
The crowd of students leave the classroom. But Hinata is still sitting there, in slight awe of what he just witnessed. The new boy was already becoming popular. Everyone rushing to talk to him.
"Interesting..." Hinata says.
Glancing over at the clock on the wall, he realises he's sat for too long, he's going to be late for his next class. He quickly packs everything into his bag and makes a run for it, putting these thoughts at the back of his mind.
But..... Who is he?
Nishiyama Fìonnlaigh. 16 years old. Grew up in a village in the Scottish Highlands. His dad left when he was a baby and so, has no memories of him. His mother, met his step-father 11 years ago during a trip to Edinburgh and they've been married for 8 years. His step-father is Japanese and was living in Scotland for work when he met Fìonnlaigh's mother. His step-father was offered a new job in Japan and they decided they would move there and Fìonnlaigh would attend school in Japan.
Nishiyama isn't use to all the attention. In fact, he's not sure if he likes it. He was quite unsure about moving to Japan. Sure, he saw it as an adventure. However, he knew he was going to miss his homeland. Although, he doesn't miss the people he knew back home... He's happy enough to leave the past behind him.
Nishiyama's first day seems to go by without too many problems. He did find it tiring, although it may be because of all the questions and attention he was receiving. Hopefully tomorrow will be... quieter.
Hinata seems to have managed the rest of his day better, he didn't seem to bump into Nishiyama throughout the day and at long last, it was finally time for volleyball practice. His happy place, the place he shines brightest. The place where he can be.... Well, him.
He changes, greets his teammates and helps set up the court for practice to begin.
Hinata is in the zone. Nothing is going to get in the way.
Except.....
"Come on Fìonn! I want to show you the different clubs you can join" Sara giggles as she pulls Nishiyama by the arm.
"Oh no! What is he doing here!?" Hinata thinks to himself. He watches as Sara pulls Nishiyama towards the stands and takes a seat to watch the practice.
"I'm not sure Sara, sports isn't really my thing" Nishiyama says.
"There's no harm in finding out about what the school has to offer, you never know, you might want to try something new!?" Sara exclaims with a stern look.
They both start to giggle
"SHUT UP OVER THERE OR GET LOST!!" Shouts Coach Ukai.
Sara and Nishiyama's backs straighten in shock but start to quietly giggle again to themselves.
Hinata stares at the two with fascination.
Nishiyama has a nice smile and a cute laugh. Wait! A cute laugh!? Why cute? No, there's nothing cute about his smile.... Or his laugh. But... how come it is?
Hinata doesn't realise he's still staring at them until Nishiyama turns to look at Hinata. He smiles and waves at him.
His smile is cute. Hinata thinks to himself as he starts to blush.
"OI DUMBASS! YOU GONNA THROW THAT BALL OR MAKE-OUT WITH IT!!!!!" Kageyama screams. Hinata snaps out of it, realising he's standing in the middle of the court with the ball in his hand
"Don't call me a dumbass, idiot!" He mumbles to himself.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Growls Kageyama
"Nothing!" Hinata says as he serves the ball
The practice goes on and Hinata no longer seems distracted and gives it his all. Once practice is over, he looks over to the stand but Nishiyama and Sara are gone.
"I wander when they left?" He thinks to himself.
Wait! Why does that matter? Why does he care if he is still there or not? Nishiyama is nothing to him! He can't understand.
Hinata is lying on his bed staring at the ceiling, he can't seem to fall asleep. He keeps playing the days events in his head. He keeps playing the moment Nishiyama smiled at him. Hinata starts to blush again.
"No no no!" He says shaking his head. He shouldn't be blushing. Nishiyama is a boy, He shouldn't be blushing about a boy. "What the hell is happening with me!?" he exclaims as he rolls over and screams into his pillow.
"What is going on!? What is wrong with me!?"
