Hinata-
"If you would stop and think about what you're doing, instead of automatically thinking you know what's best, then this wouldn't have happened!"
I keep my head down. Meet their eyes, and I'm disrespectful. If I look at them wrong, I'll get hit. They think I'm going to say something against them, exact same scenario.
I put the laundry out, I just wanted to help, but it started raining and now Natsu's clothes are soaked.
"Stick the your damn girly volleyball." My dad says, walking away.
Then, I'm covered in water.
"Since Natsu has to wear her nice clothes and will get them dirty today, you get to deal with wet clothes for your mistake." I nod, only agreeing with the punishment. It's all I can do to prevent anything else.
To prevent anything than what happened last night.
I grab my bag and make it to my bike. I get my shirt tucked in enough to prevent it from riding up during my ride to school.
My legs and back burn like I've been doing drills for hours. This ride is going to kill me, I swear.
"Oi! Hinata!"
I look up. Kageyama.
I give him a wide grin, waving wildly.
A cross look flashes over his face.
"Why the hell are you wet?" He grabs my jacket and tie, before looking right at my face. "You look like hell. Did you stay up reading some manga or porn magazine?"
"No! I left my uniform out and didn't have a clean one, so I had to wear this, and I was up studying for the damn math test today. I need to pass it." I mumble, hopping off my bike so I can walk with Kageyama the rest of the way.
"Do you remember anything? If you don't get some sort of sleep then you won't remember anything, and you'll end up falling behind at practice!"
He's lecturing me on my lack of sleep? Geez.
"I remember most of it. Don't you worry, I'll hit every ball that's thrown my way today!" I grin, walking to the bike rack to lock it up.
"You better!" He yells, before running inside.
I sigh, checking my phone before heading inside.
We're having company back tonight. Don't be any longer with your practice than you must be. I mean it. Natsu is going to be with Grandma and Grandpa tonight. -Mom
A cold chill runs through me, and I slam my phone shut.
As I walk towards the school, I can only imagine who they invited this time.
Mr. Inoko? No. He only visits during my long holiday's.
Mr. and Mrs. Watanabe? That's possible. They usually don't stay long and it's never horrible.
I shake my head.
I'll freak out if I keep thinking about it.
"Hinata?" I almost jump out of my skin.
It's Daichi.
"Captain, good morning." I nod.
"You're soaking wet, you're going to catch a cold." He sighs, shaking his head.
"It was my fault! The early morning rain caught me off guard and I left my uniforms out. I couldn't wear a dirty one, so I wore this one instead!" I laugh, walking with him inside.
"We might have an extra in the locker room if you don't want to be stuck in that all day." He offers with a smile.
"No, no! It's fine, I need to get to class anyway! See you at practice!" And I get away after changing my shoes.
Sitting in soaking wet pants isn't great. My underwear is wet and chaffing my thighs, my shirt is caught against my back and it's already in pain.
"I should've taken Daichi up on that offer." I sigh.
"Well, it's still open."
And once more, I almost jump out of my skin.
But it's Sugawara this time, giving me a warm smile.
"He wanted me to come offer the uniform again. He made sure we had one, it's a little big, but it's better than that." He grabs my arm.
I can't fight now.
So I follow Sugawara to the changing room.
"Thank you, for the uniform. I'll bring it back clean."
He just waves a hand, giving me the same warm smile as always. He's always so kind and happy, I bet he'll make some girl so happy one day.
Sugawara shows me the uniform. I'll have to roll the pants up a bit, and the jacket is big in the shoulders, but it sure is better than my wet one.
And I feel uneasy now, changing in front of him. I think he realizes it and goes to be lookout so no one walks in on me half naked since it is the middle of the day. I do my best to change quickly but stripping off wet clothes is much harder than I anticipated.
"Hinata?" Sugawara sounds worried.
"It's just taking a minute! Sorry!" I laugh it off.
I hurriedly wave the pants off and pull everything on. My skin slightly damp making it much harder to pull it on as fast as I can.
I begin tucking my shirt in when Sugawara steps back in. He gives me an apologetic look, and Daichi follows. I nod at him thankfully.
"It does look big, huh?" He laughs loudly, walking over to help me fold up the pant legs.
My heart starts to beat faster.
"I can do it!" I assure him, and take his place rolling the cuffs up.
His eyebrows furrow, but that look disappears quickly.
"Leave yours in here to dry, it should be dry by the time we get done with practice, alright?" He nods.
I only agree.
What else would I say?
I manage to change quickly, before anyone else can get into the room.
A tucked in white shirt and black sweat pants, with knee high socks underneath just in case. I pull my jacket on to try and cover as much as possible. I'm unsure of anything on my neck, there are rules at home, but sometimes they're not followed.
I folded up the borrowed uniform and set it back where it was gotten from.
The seniors are already there and practicing by the time I get to the gym.
"Why the sweat pants, Hinata?" Nishinoya yells from across the court.
"Everything else was wet from this morning!" I grin, running up to the net.
Everyone gets in, it seems slow.
I'm glad.
We do drills.
A short game.
Coach Ukai talks about an upcoming training camp we need to get forms signed for.
We're told we can go.
I rush to the changing room so I can quickly get home.
Kageyama tries to stop and talk to me.
"Sorry! I'm late! We're having company over and I have to get home!" I apologize.
"You had company yesterday!" Tanaka complains, walking over as he pulls his shirt off.
"My parents like to have people over is all." I shrug.
"I bet Natsu likes all the people, huh?" Sugawara smiles.
"She's staying with my grandparents, actually."
A cross look is all I see before rushing to get home.
I sent off a message, letting them know I'm on my way so they don't think I'm trying to avoid anything.
Good boy. We'll see you soon. -Mom
