On Saturday, Mya and I went grocery shopping and had dinner with our team. I spent Saturday night doing a couple pre-tests in my room while Mya went out with her sorority girls. She asked me to come but I didn't want to drink two nights in a row, especially after waking up with a slight stomach ache after Friday night. Plus, my fragile heart wanted to wait around for a boy who still needed to give me his side of the story.
Terushima explained to me that he, contrary to popular belief, didn't flirt with anyone. He told me that when he ran back in to get his shoes from the locker room, a couple of girls stopped him and were trying to talk to him. In his version, he didn't get any of their numbers and told them he had a girlfriend.
After hearing the experience he had undergone, I decided to give him another chance. I don't think I really wanted to break up with him.
When I hung up, I felt as though I had made the wrong decision but I'm not sure as to why.
And no, it doesn't have anything to do with a black haired asshole. Probably.
Sunday is also spent organizing my schedule to distract me. I hope my hesitation to give Teru another chance changes after I see him. I think I just need to spend time with him.
When I told Mya about my consensus, she was not as easily won over, but I told her to trust me because I trusted him. She eventually caved in with a sigh and told me to "keep him on probation" for the time being. I couldn't bring myself to tell Tadashi that I had believed Teru. I didn't want him to be disappointed in me or think that I didn't trust him.
To keep my decision to myself, I avoided contact with the team all week. By the middle of the week, my guilt felt hot under my skin and the emotional unrest that flooded my brain was almost too much to bear. Especially after Tadashi had texted me a couple of times asking how I was. I ended up telling him I was super busy preparing for my next week of classes and practice but that we'd have to hang out soon. It doesn't feel right to treat him like this after he had done nothing wrong but I'm too selfish to face him.
It's just a complicated situation.
Or maybe I'm making it more complicated than I need to because I know I'm in the wrong.

...

It's Thursday now and I'm currently packing for my weekend at home while watching some film to get ready for tonight's game. My first and second week of classes was smoother than expected and hopefully, all these GenEd classes stay easy. Yesterday, Teru agreed to come pick me up on campus tomorrow after he finishes his classes.
I fold a pair of jean shorts and place them on top of a pair of pajama shorts before heading back to my dresser to get another outfit.
A notification rings quietly from my phone as I grab one of my favorite yellow shirts that I plan to wear when I hang out with Teru on Saturday. We are planning on going to his parent's lake house for the day and then going to dinner in the evening. A blush crawls onto my cheeks at the thought of it.
I decide to pick my phone up, seeing the reminder pop up for the notification I had ignored a couple of minutes earlier. My eyebrows furrow as my eyes scan over the message request. It's from Instagram.

From: Aiko
Hey girl! I know you don't really know me very well, but one of my friends was out with Terushima last night. I follow you and saw that you posted about him so I wanted to make sure that he wasn't cheating. I'm so sorry if you all are still together. I just figured I would let you know in case something was going on.

Well, that was not what I was expecting.
