Chapter 3

Momo was astonished to find his red head sempai inviting a girl to a burger joint. Before they left, Momo grabbed Eiji to talk in private "Eiji-sempai is it really okay to invite a girl on a date to a burger joint with a team mate like this?" Kikumaru nudged Momo "we are not going on a date, I am just inviting her to gain some time to ask her something" Momo rubbed his chin and thought about what his sempai just said 'so sempai wants to talk to Sakamoto Aiko, the only player who didn't show up the day we had that match…Ah! He wants to gather information for the rematch! Genius!

At the burger joint, everyone was shocked by how much Aiko ordered. Her tray was equal to Momo's. Eiji asked as politely as possible "Sakamoto-chan… you're going to eat all of that" she blushed "um…yeah".

While Momo was chomping away with his burgers, Kikumaru and Aiko talked about projects and sports. Kikumaru was waiting for the right time to bring up Amamiya's issue; the reason why he really wants to know because Fuji had such confusion in his eyes when he was looking at Amamiya Yuri. There was a break in their conversation and he tried to bring it up but she said something first "Kikumaru-san… thank you" He blinks "for what?"

"After I told you that I wasn't allowed to tell people about Yuri-Chan, you didn't push me to tell you. This whole time you didn't even bring up her situation, you just wanted to have a fun time. There are very few people like you… it's easier being around people like you… too bad there are very few easy going people like you" She smiles a very innocent smile to Eiji, even Momo was put in awe by the purity of her smile. Kikumaru managed to cough out "…w-well it's ... ah… I need to go to the washroom" he excuses himself.

Eiji you baka baka baka!! Ah what do I do now…now I can't help Fujiko-chan…Nya she was so cute…Eiji was stuck in washroom trying to sort the disastrous clouds of confusion floating around in his head. Mean while Momo was starting on his last burger as he caught a glimpse of the girl's tray, "Sakamoto-sempai! You are finished already?!" Aiko takes a sip of her drink "I was finished a while ago". Momoshiro speechlessly continued his burger 'not only did I lose in volleyball…but in eating as well… girls are frightening'.

Eiji returned from the restroom and finished his meal in silence which made his underclassmen a little bit worried. Momo left and Eiji escorted Aiko home, they were chatting about horoscopes and sports this time. "Thank you so much Kikumaru-san, you don't know how much this means to me"

"Yeah… good night" he didn't want to be around her anymore, she gave him an aching feeling in his chest which annoys him. She bowed and before he could leave, she smiled that same smile at him. Ignoring the pain in his chest he smiles back "see you tomorrow" he waves and leaves.

When Fuji Shusuke arrives home that night Yuuta had some friends from St. Rudolph over since they had a week break. Mizuki, unfortunately was there, not because Yuuta invited him, but because he decided to tag along and had ended up forcing himself into the group.

The whole time Fuji ignored the talkative Mizuki, until he said "so I heard you and Yuuta-kun bumped into Amamiya Yuri". The brunette faced Mizuki Hajime "so what about it?"

Mizuki smirked "Are you interested in my ex-girlfriend, Fuji-kun?" Fuji narrowed his eyes but smiled "ah I'm tired" totally ignoring the dark hair boy. He stretched and yawned before walking into his room and slamming the door shut, leaving Mizuki outside his room burning with fury. Yuuta came to Mizuki and patted him on the back "you really shouldn't annoy him like that".

The next day after school, the girls played volleyball rather cheerfully. The captain was definitely impressed with everyone except Yuri. "Amamiya" she called, the blue haired player came running to the captain "Tanimoto-bucho" the captain crosses her arms "get your act together" all Yuri could do was bow "HAI!".

Thank you so much for the reviews, it really helps inspire me to keep up my work. Please review! I kind of think I am focusing a bit too much more on the drama instead of the Volleyball. Please leave an opinion.
