"Talking" Thinking
~First Day Of School~
Sammy's POV:
We left the house at six o'clock to sign Natsu up for a daycare that is close to Karasuno. I was hoping that Hinata and I would be in the same class, but he ended up in class one and I was in class four.
"Hinata, hurry up!" Sammy yelled, picking up his and Natsu's backpack.
"I'm coming," Hinata screamed, running out the door after them.
"Natsu, you excited about daycare," I asked, "Hinata and I will be close if you need us, okay?"
"Okay," Natsu answered, walking beside me.
Hinata was able to ride his bike to school today, and I was stuck walking. We got to her daycare in time for me to sign her in. After signing her in, I left for school. I got there right when orientation started. We had to sit and listen to the vice principal talk for two hours. All the first years were told to go to their assigned classes. I looked at the paper with all of our assigned classes.
"Welcome to the first year, class four. I will be your teacher, Mr. Minor," the teacher told us as we all walked in. "Now I'm going to take attendance to make sure that everyone's here."
He started taking attendance, and I tuned out until I hear my name.
"Hinata Sammy," Mr. Minor said, looking up from his paper.
"Here sir," I yelled, raising my hand.
I looked out the window and didn't listen, till I heard a kid click his tongue as his answer.
"Mr. Tsukishima, if you're going to behave like this on your first day, I will give you a detention," Mr. Minor said.
"Tsukki, stop, we have to turn in our volleyball sign-up sheets today," said the boy with freckles, who was sitting beside him.
"That goes for you too, Mr. Yamaguchi," said Mr. Minor, his anger clearly boiling.
After that, the bell rang and we were all dismissed for lunch.
~At Lunch~
"Hina-tsuin, do you wanna go check out the volleyball gym?" I asked, running over to him.
"Sammy, I thought we were going there after today's classes," he said. "Besides, I'm hungry, and someone made me leave without breakfast."
"Okay," I told him, considering to stop harassing my brother. "Besides, if you had gotten up when I told you too, you would have had food."
"You. Ate. My. Food." Hinata yelled, making everyone in the lunch yard stare at us.
So I left Hinata standing there and went to find the volleyball gym. By the time I finally found it, the kids who were from my class were already there.
Tsukishima's POV:
"I don't see why we had to come by at lunch," I said, opening the door to the gym.
"Tsukki, we need to turn these papers in," Yamaguchi reminded him again.
I don't get it. We have until the end of the week to turn them in, I thought, looking uninterested in be there.
While we were walking into the gym, I saw the small guy from our class walking to the gym.
"Yamaguchi, did you see the Shrimp over there," I asked. "He's from our class."
"Haha yeah Tsukki, he is very small," Yamaguchi answered. "You don't think he is signing up for volleyball, do you?"
"I hope not," I shrugged. "He wouldn't be a starter anyway so what's the point?"
"We are here to turn in our club sign-up forms," Yamaguchi said as we stepped into the gym.
"Right, okay I'm Daichi, your captain and a third year," said a brunette. "The guy standing next to me is also a third year, and he is your vice-captain, Sugawara, but we call him Suga."
"And I'm Tanaka, second year and wing spiker," the bald guy interjected, attempting to look intimidating.
"Nice to meet you all," we both said.
"I'm Yamaguchi, and he is Tsukishima. We are both first years and middle blockers," said Yamaguchi, pointing at me.
Tch, he does know I can introduce myself? I thought, putting my headphones on.
Sammy's POV:
I was still shocked to actually see the Tsukishima guy, from class there. I finally got over it but when to turn in my club sign-up form, I heard them all introduce themselves.
"Hello, I would like to also turn in my form," I said, walking past Tsukishima.
"Tsukki look, he is signing up," Yamaguchi announced, pointing in my direction
"Tch, he won't last long," Tsukishima retorted, walking out the gym.
"My name is Sammy Hinata, and I'm a first year. I would like it if you'd called me Sammy." I said, handing Suga my paper.
"Well Sammy, I hope you have fun playing with us this year," expressed Suga, looking over my paper. "So your brother goes here too?"
"Yes, he will also be signing up," I replied.
Ring ring...The lunch bell rang and I took off running to class. Just as I was turning the corner, I bumped into someone.
"Well, if it isn't Samantha," said a voice, I knew all too well.
"P... Patrick what are you doing here?" I asked, getting scared.
"Well, I was going to go to Nekoma, but I did not pass the entrance exam," he said, smiling sadly. "However, my favorite person was coming here, and I knew that she would miss me."
"You can't tell anyone that I'm really a girl, please," I said, begging him.
"Oh, so no one knows you're really a girl," Patrick said, grabbing my arm. "You would do anything to keep your secret?"
"Yes," I said, fear arising in my chest.
What is he going to do to me? I don't want to have to put up with him, I wondered, trying to get away from him.
I pulled my arm out his hand and took off towards my class.
"Mr. Hinata, why are you late to class?" Mr. Minor asked as I opened the door.
"I...um...got lost in the halls on my way here," I said, going to my seat.
"Did you really get lost?" asked Tsukishima. "I can see a bruise on your arm that wasn't there earlier."
Shit! That asshole left a bruise on me! What am I going to tell my mom? I panicked, thinking of what to do.
Before I could say anything to him, the door opened, and the last person I ever wanted to see walked through the door.
"Ah, Mr. Evans, so good of you to finally make it to class," mentioned Mr. Minor.
"Sorry sir, I walked to the wrong class before lunch, and by the time I was here, everyone has gone to lunch," said Patrick, looking at me silently telling me to contradict what he said.
The only seat that was open was next to me. This year is going to be a long one. I thought as the teacher told him to sit next to me.
~After Class~
"Hey Sammy, wanna hang out after school?" asked Patrick.
"Sorry, I can't, Hinata and I are doing something," I said, hoping he would leave me alone.
"Oh. So, he goes here too?" Patrick asked, looking a little upset.
"Yes, and I have to go before I'm late," I said, running out the door.
I ran to the gym, hoping he didn't follow me. Hinata was already there, and it looked like he was already starting trouble.
Hinata's POV:
Sammy was taking forever, so I went ahead and proceeded to the gym. When I got there, he was there, The King of The Court, Kageyama Tobio. He was on the team that I lost to in middle school. I thought he would have gone to a big name school, like Aoba Josai or Shiratorizawa. I wanted to beat him, but now I couldn't because he is on my team.
"Hina-tsuin, what did I say about causing trouble today," yelled Sammy, walking into the gym, "and didn't I tell you to wait for me at the front door?"
"You were taking too long, and I forgot what you said. I was half asleep," I informed him.
As Sammy and I were talking, three older guys showed up and started talking to Kageyama. I was feeling left out, so I tried to obtain their attention so I could introduce myself.
"Sammy, you're back again?" asked a guy with gray hair. "He must be your brother."
"Hey Suga," Sammy said. "Yeah, he's Hinata, Shoyou, but goes by Hinata."
"Welcome to the club, Hinata," said the guy, with brunette hair.
"Hey, when did you get a brother," asked Kageyama. "I didn't see him play volleyball in middle school."
"He was hurt and couldn't play at the time," I told him, hoping he would buy my lie.
"So, have you changed at all," inquired Kageyama. "because it looks like you didn't grow any at all."
"Yes, I've changed," I said. "I'm not that short!"
As we were arguing, Daichi tried to interject between us.
"You guys better stop before Daichi gets mad," said the bald scary looking guy.
"I wanna play you one-on-one," I proclaimed, walking to get a ball.
Third Person's POV:
So, Hinata and Kageyama were banned from volleyball, till they can work together. Sammy stayed and got to know everyone in the club. Halfway through practice, Sammy had to leave, to pick up Natsu.
~Flashback~
"Hey Daichi, is it okay if I leave early?" Sammy had asked him.
"Sure Sammy," Daichi answered. "What do you have to do?"
"My little sister is in daycare and our mom works late, so I have to pick her up," stated Sammy.
"There is another one of you?" asked Tanaka.
"Yes, Tanaka," said Sammy. "She is four, and you all might get to met her one day."
So, after Sammy changed he left and went to go get Natsu. He walked a few blocks down the road. Natsu was the last kid there.
"Sorry, I'm late," exclaimed Sammy. "My club went longer than I thought."
"Just try to get here sooner tomorrow," suggested Natsu's teacher.
"Hey Sammy, where's Hinata?" Natsu inquired, looking for him.
"He's already at home," said Sammy. "I don't think Hinata will be in a good mood today."
After Sammy picked up Natsu, they walked home.
~End Flashback~
Sammy's POV:
When we got home, Hinata was out back working on his receiving. I was going to ask if he wanted help, but when I went to walk outside Natsu's tummy growled.
"Hey, why don't I fix us supper?" I asked Natsu.
"Yeah," Yelled Natsu. "But what about Hinata?"
"I'll go get him after we make supper," I told her, pulling out her step stool. "Why don't we make nii-san's favorite food?"
"Hai," said Natsu. "Why is nii-san sad?"
"He had a bad day at school," I answered, pulling out the ingredients to make meat buns.
We got to work making the food. After about an hour or so, I went to get Hinata.
"Tsuin, time for supper," I said, walking over to him.
"I'm coming," he said. "What are we having?"
"Natsu and I made meat buns because, I know today wasn't a good day," I told him.
We ate supper, and Hinata put Natsu to bed. I went to shower, and when I got out and was looking for my PJs a found a picture of me and Patrick.
"This was taken the day of our breakup. It was the last time I saw him," I said to myself, thinking out loud. "I remember it like it was yesterday."
~Flashback~Summer Break
It was a Saturday afternoon, and Patrick had taken me to the arcade for our fifth date. We were having fun and everything, till I had to tell him about being transsexual.
"Patrick, I have something I need to tell you," I told him getting scared of how he was going to take it.
"What is it, baby?" He asked, hugging me around the waist.
"Patrick, I've been keeping something from you," I said.
"Samantha, what is it? Did I do something?" he asked, looking scared.
"No, it's not you," I revealed, trying to hide my face in my hands. "I'm transsexual."
He didn't say anything right away. After about 10 minutes he finally said something, and until this day I will never forget what he said.
"You. Are. The. Most. Disgusting. Person. I. Have. Ever. Met," He yelled, looking at me like I was trash or the worst thing he had ever seen.
I tried to talk to him, but he keeps looking at me like I was trash.
"Samantha, we are done," Patrick said. "Never talk to me again. I'm so glad, I'm not going to the same high school as you."
"But Patrick, I thought you loved me," I said, crying and pulling on his arm.
"Oh you poor freak," Patrick proclaimed, smiling like a crazy person. "I never loved you. I was using you the whole time, but now that I know your secret, I can use it against you. If we ever meet again."
He left me there crying my eyes out. It was that day that I decided not to tell anyone in high school I was a girl. Unless I trusted them, or if they are smart enough to figure it out. An hour later, I got my phone out to text Hinata. I was crying too much to walk home alone. A few minutes later Hinata was there to pick me up. He didn't say or ask anything till we got home.
"Sammy, what happened?" He asked me
"Hinata, I don't wanna talk about it," I told him. "I just wanna be alone and go to bed."
"Okay Sammy," He said, walking out of our room.
I cried myself to sleep that night, and many nights after that.
~End Flashback~
"Sammy, you okay?" asked Hinata. "You have been looking at that picture and crying for a while, now."
"Yeah I'm fine, just old memories haunting me," I told him, climbing into bed.
"Good night tsuin," He said and I went to sleep.
~Week Later~
Hinata's POV:
Sammy hasn't been his normal self since school started. I think something is going on at school, but he won't tell me anything. I thought, practicing my receives with Kageyama.
"Hey, dumbass pay attention," Kageyama yelled, getting the ball as is rolled away.
"Bakageyama," I screamed at him, as someone walked by.
They started to talk crap about me and Kageyama. After a while, they left but not before I jumped and took the ball from the tall guy.
"Hinata, you do know instead of going through all this crap, I could always set for you like I did in middle school," Sammy said, walking over to us after Stingyshima and Yamaguchi left.
"Yeah," I retorted. "But, you set for me all the time."
"Hinata we need to get home. Mom has trash king watching Natsu, and God knows what she talked him into doing for her," Sammy yelled, pulling me away from Kageyama.
We left the schoolyard, and went home, to find Tooru and Natsu playing dress up, again.
Sammy's POV:
Click flash. I took a picture of Tooru in a dress and with a crown on.
"Oh man, Hajime is going to love this picture," I said, running away from him.
"You. Wouldn't. Dare," he yelled, chasing me around the kitchen.
After a while, I gave up and didn't send the picture. Tooru left after showing Hinata a few pointers on his receiving skills in volleyball.
"Natsu, how was daycare?" I asked, setting her on my lap.
"It was fun. I made a new friend today, and I drew a picture for mommy," Natsu replied, excitement shining brightly in her eyes.
Tonight it was Hinata's turn to cook dinner, and I was starting to think it was a bad idea to let him cook.
"Tsuin, are you sure that is eatable?" I inquired, poking the food he put on my plate.
"It looks like snot, nii-san," Natsu said, playing with her food.
"Hey," Hinata yelled. "At least I tried."
"Yeah, but not good enough," I told him picking up my phone. "I'll order pizza, but Hinata has to pay this time."
"Yay pizza," Natsu yelled.
~After Supper~
We ate our pizza, and then I made sure that Natsu is in bed by 9.
"Sammy, is everything alright?" Hinata asked me as I walked back to our room.
"Yes, Hinata I'm fine, and no I'm not lying to you," I said, laying in my bed. "Now, either drop it or we can start on homework."
"Okay, I'll drop it," he declared, jumping in his bed.
"Night," he said, falling asleep.
~That Weekend~
Third Person's POV:
Sammy and Hinata played a four-on-four match. Hinata and Kageyama seem to get along better, even though they can do this amazingly fast quick, they still argue. Sammy was on Tsukishima's team. Sammy liked playing against Hinata, but kinda missed the feeling of tossing for him. After the game, Dachi finally let Kageyama and Hinata back into the club after kicking them out. Hinata and Kageyama tried to befriend Tsukishima and Yamaguchi, but they refused to acknowledge them. Sammy just stood by and watched as Hinata failed miserably to get Tsukishima to shake his hand.
"He is never going to shake your hand Hina-tsuin," Sammy had told him, walking over to give him water. "It's really a waste of your time."
"Sammy, Shhh... Daich might kick you out, if you fight or don't get along," Hinata said, putting a finger over Sammy's lips.
"You got kicked out 'cause Caption Dad wanted to show you how to listen to him," Sammy had told Hinata, pointing at Daichi.
"Please, stop calling me that," said Daichi as he turned to us pointing at me
"But it's true," Sammy whined.
"We will have morning and afternoon practice on Monday through Friday, and only morning practice on Saturday," Daichi announced. "That's it for today guys. Dismissed!"
"Hai," they all yelled, grabbing their bags and running out of the gym.
Sammy sat and waited for Hinata to get done practicing. Kageyama and Hinata wanted to practice their quick a little, and Sammy didn't want to walk home alone.
Ding ding! Sammy's phone went off. He looked down to check it, and it was a text from an unknown number.
Unknown Number: Hope you're not telling anyone what's going on at school. You know what will happen if you do.
