-1 hour later-

" Try question 5 ." I point to the question on the book .

-10 minutes later-

" … x = 10 ! " He shouted , raising his arm .

" Incorrect . You didn't even solve it ..! Don't just give me random answers !"

" I don't know how to do it ..!" He rested his head on the table .

" I thought you told me you understood ?" I folded my arms .

He looked away .

" What's that supposed to mean .. ?"

" You look too mean for me to say I don't understand ."

I look too mean ..?

" Look here , you have to factori- " He's not looking .. " Yuu , look here ." He flinched , slowly turning his head . " DON'T CALL ME THAT ! IT'S EMBARRASSING !" He pointed his finger at me . I say ," You called me Arisa first ..!" He looked at the question and said ," I'm looking now ." He's .. one of a kind this guy . I explain ," You have to factorise this first then .." As I continue explaining , Nishinoya nodded his head slowly . " Tell me if you don't understand ," I say . He bit his lower lip and blurted ," I don't know how to factorise ."

" HUH ?! YOU DON'T ?! HOW DID YOU PASS FRESHMAN YEAR ?!"

" I BARELY PASSED MATHS !" He blushed , embarrassed .

" There's nothing to be embarrassed about . It was expected ." I tease , putting my hand on his shoulder .

" You .. mean sensei !"

" Pfft . Okay , I'll teach you ."

-10 minutes later-

" Now do this question ." I point to question 2 .

After about 2 minutes , he was done . " x = 2 or 7 ," he answered . " Correct ," I said , smiling .

" Wait there !" Katsuya said , covering my face . " I'm the only one who can see Nee-chan's smile ..!"

" Katsuya , stop playing around and do your homework too ." I shove his hand away .

Nishinoya was looking away , his hands covering his face . " What's wrong ?" , I ask . He replied ," N-nothing ." His ears are red .. Is he too cold ?

*stomach growls*

I look at Katsuya and he shook his head , saying it wasn't him . Then it's .. I look at Nishinoya . He himself looked surprised . I glance at my watch . It's 2 pm already . " Have you eaten lunch ?"

*shakes head*

I guess I'll have to cook lunch then . I stand up and say ," Continue doing those . Katsuya , if he sleeps then you can do whatever you want to wake him up . Okay ?" Nishinoya asked ," Where are you going ?" I answered ," To cook you food ." Katsuya requested ," I want omelette rice !" I gave him an okay and headed to the kitchen . I took out the ingredients I needed and started cooking . After about 10 minutes , I was done .

" Come and eat ..!" I called , placing the one omelette rice on each place .

The door flew open and the boys came rushing out . I placed the dishes on the dining table .

" Ittadakimasu !" The boys said .

" Eh ? Arisa , you're not eating ?" Nishinoya asked .

" I gotta go to my part time job in an hour's time so .."

" Ah .. I see ." Nishinoya said , taking a spoonful . His eyes turned sparkly , hearts were on it . " OISHII ! You were this good of a cook ?! That's amazing !" He complimented . I hide my hands behind my back and said ," Well .. I'm not bad ." Katsuya boasted ," See ! This is my wonderful sis-" But before he continued , I hit the back of his head . " Just eat ." They finished their meal in 5 minutes . They were that hungry , huh .

" I'll wash ," Katsuya volunteered . He took Nishinoya's plate as well . " I just didn't want my precious sister to do so much hard work okay ."

He's so cute , Katsuya that is .

Nishinoya and I went back into my room .

" Are these your parents ?"

Wait , what ? P-parents ..?

" Huh ?"

" It fell out from your textbook ." He held up a photo .

" .. Don't touch my stuff !" I snatch the photo away from him .

Shit . I .. did it again .

" G-gomen . I didn't do it on purpose ."

I didn't know what to say . Come on , Arisa . Apologise to him ..! He didn't even do anything wrong ..

" I need to go home now so .." Nishinoya packed his bag . " Thanks for the food , Arisa . I'll .. get going now ." He left the house .

*door opens*

Is it Nishinoya ? I turn behind , only to see Katsuya . Oh .. he really left .

" Nee-chan , Yuu-nii just left in a hurry ."

" 'Yuu-nii' ..? I thought you didn't like him ."

" Only when he looks at you ..! Other than that , Yuu-nii's a good guy !"

That's right … he's a good guy . But .. why can't I ..

-Monday-

I was on my way to school as usual . When I reached school , it was the same as always . Just that .. more people are looking at me .

" Look ! That's her !"

" She should be jailed !"

Jailed ..? That's a first .

" I pity her parents ."

I stop walking . Why bring up my parents ? How dare they-

" I heard that she caused her parents' death ."

" Yeah , me too ! I heard that she was playing around in the car when her parents were driving , then she distracted her father and it crashed ."

" It's a miracle her brother survived . Maybe it's karma that saved her life ."

I clench my fists and walk to the indoor building . As I opened my shoe cubicle , trash fell out of it . There was a note on it written ," I pity your parents , sinner !"

How did this ..

I ripped the note and threw it in the bin . I changed my shoes and walked to class . As I walked to my seat , I noticed curses scribbled on my desk . There were some on the black board too .

" You look and act tough , but you're just a wimp !" A girl shouted from across the class .

The whole class laughed .

I ignore her and walk to the board , taking the duster to erase the comments on the board . I .. hope Nishinoya didn't come to school today . I don't want him to hear and see this . I clench my fists and walk back to my seat .

*back door opens*

" Sakuno-chan ..! Welcome to Karasuno ..!"

S-sakuno ..? My hands tremble as I heard that name . My mind went blank . I dare not look behind . I'm afraid it's her . It can't be .. Himuro Sakuno .. right ..?
