The last bell rang, so I could leave. Finally.

I quickly grabbed my stuff and rushed out the door. I wanted to relax. Just to forget about Oikawa, even if it was just until tomorrow. I walked right past Oikawa, looking back at him . Just as I thought. He didn't say anything, or even look my way. He didn't care. I don't even think he noticed. 

I had walked off school grounds, and walked towards Karasuno so I could meet up with Kageyama. We've been walking home together since I moved here, around three years ago, we're neighbors and we've been friends ever since I moved to Japan. My mom got a new job here, and she wanted a fresh start after everything that happened with my dad. We moved from the U.S., and I honestly like Japan better anyways. 

I waited for Kageyama to walk out. After only a few minutes or so, I heard his familiar voice, "Hey boke." he said, with his usual nonchalant face. 

"Hey, you ready?" I said while cheerfully looking into his royal blue eyes. I wanted to tell him everything about Oikawa and how I felt. Before I knew it we were walking and I was rambling about what had happened. I didn't tell him about this before, because I didn't care as much a few days ago. I wasn't paying much attention to his face at the time, but I saw that once I said the name Oikawa, his expression went blank. Usually he looks angry, but I could tell he was upset. I knew he didn't like Oikawa, but I didn't expect him to be pissed at the mention of his name. 

I don't know why I kept talking, but I did. It just wouldn't stop. Once I was done I turned to him waiting for him to respond, or maybe give me advice on something. 

"So do you like him?" he said while running one of his hands through his black hair. 

"Oh my god no, no way, I hate him." I said. I don't know who I was trying to convince of that, him or me. 

That was the last thing said before we reached our houses, "Thanks Tobio, (I was one of the only people who could call him by his first name) I'll see you tomorrow!" I said while walking up to my door. I waved at him before going upstairs to my room.

I went onto my bed and fell face-first into my pillow. I didn't know what to do. No. No way in hell. I don't like Oikawa. I don't.

 'God dammit Michelle, for the love of god, THINK ABOUT WHO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!' I thought to myself as I hit my head. I turned over and looked up at my ceiling. I closed my eyes and rubbed my head where I had smacked myself. I just wish none of this had ever happened. I wish I had never spoken to Oikawa. I wish I never answered when he spoke to me. I should've pushed him off of me in detention. 

Look at me now. Pathetic. Upset and confused over a boy who doesn't even know me. I was probably just another little hookup. Some game for him to play while he was bored. He probably forgot all about me now. 

Out of nowhere I heard my phone's ringtone and I turned on my side to grab my phone. 

*Incoming call from: Unknown Number* 

I hesitantly picked up my phone, and pressed answer. 

"Hey, this is Oikawa, can we talk about what happened?"

Oh God.
