Sports Event Part 2
Naomi had been biting her nails since the first match started. Her hair was pulled up into two curly ponytails as open hair made her really sweaty. It was her first time playing a badminton match. The next match was a doubles round and Naomi and one of her teammate were going to play it. Naomi belonged to Smart House (Yellow) and her house was playing against Bright House (Blue). Their first match was singles round and Smart House was about to win it.
In the small pool of students, Kenny noticed someone. Her white hair had red graduation from down and it was tied into a side high curly ponytail. She was wearing a blue jersey. Kenny noticed her go out of the court. He followed her.
She walked into a lighted hallway. Kenny was still following her. He stopped her and said, "Hey, An announcement said a player cannot leave between a match."
She turned to him. Her height was equal as Kenny's. Her left eye was red while her right one was blue. She tilted her head and pointed her thumb towards a door behind her. Kenny looked at the door- it was a girls' lavatory. He awkwardly smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't know."
She blinked and her eyes alternated coloration. Now her, left eye turned blue and her right eye turned red. Kenny was shocked to see that, "Your eyes!" He then realised who she was, "You are Shinyu from Frozen Dark, aren't you?"
She smiled.
"Hey, why aren't you saying something?" He asked after receiving no reply. She looked at him. Then she pointed to her mouth and made a cross with her finger.
"You can't..." He waited to figure it out, "...Speak? You are mute?"
She smiled and nodded. Kenny tried talking to her more, "So, Don't you use sign language?"
Something crossed her mind- something that sounded like an old memory, "I'll teach you sign language."
She snapped out of her trance and nodded again with a smile- this time it was a little sad. She then pulled her eyebrows closes and pointed to the door again.
"Oh, right," he realised what she meant, "Yeah, I'll go now."
She nodded and went inside the lavatory. Kenny turned and went back into the court. He stood beside Riri who was sitting on a chair. She looked at him and said, "Done?"
He nodded and said "Done with one." She looked back at the court. He looked at her and asked, "Now what?"
"Enjoy the rest of the match," she flicked her hair, "After all this is a fun day."
Naomi's match was about to begin. Her opponents were from Bright House, Alia Sharma and Shinyu Yotsume. Naomi and her partner had won the toss and chose to service. Kenny started recording the match on his laptop.
Smart House had played hard and scored 12 points. She still had to score 4 more points to win. Bright House was on 10. Naomi had scored almost all the points. Her partner wasn't a good player though it was her second time playing for her house. Unlike them, Shinyu and Alia were bonding nicely. Though their points were less than their opponent's point but they not were bumping into each other or missing shots. Shinyu had hit the higher shots without any mistake. She even hit the shots that were predicted to be missed. Even after a rough play, Naomi managed to win.
"...Motherfucking bitch. Does not know how to play," Naomi came to her sister mumbling and cursing the girl who was her partner. She looked at Tyson who was sitting on the bench and yelled, "Move your stupid ass!"
Tyson pouted but didn't say anything because he knew she would only curse him. He quietly moved aside. Naomi sat down and wiped her face with a towel from her badminton kit. Riri turned to her and said, "You do curse a lot." Naomi frowned and said, "It's because I'm angry. I don't know how that stupid cunt made it to the team."
"Sure," Riri didn't say much. Naomi started explaining herself, "If we didn't win this match, I had to play a singles match and gosh! I am tired." Tyson looked at her and asked, "But why?"
"You see," She paused to catch her breath, "If we lost this match, it would have been a tie and our team consists of only three players, which means one player had to play twice and I was chosen for this."
"But didn't you say you are tired?" Hilary asked worriedly.
"Yes," Naomi turned to her, "It would have been no advantage since both players were tired. The more tired one would lose and it would have been me."
Naomi drank water from her bottle picked up her badminton kit and said, "I'll go to the main building now, I have to change. Make sure you guys go watch the race and football match." She went out then.
Riri stood up from her chair and said, "Well, the match is over now. Should we go back home?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay," Riri looked at Hilary and said, "Hilary, go get Naomi and we'll go."
They came out of the badminton court. Riri showed Hilary the school's backdoor and Hilary went inside. The other went to their SUV. Hilary followed a bunch of yellow dressed students but couldn't find Naomi.
Naomi was in the hallway. She was watching her house's football team coming down from the second floor. She was looking for certain someone – the sapphire eyed guy with black hair. He walked down the stairs wearing a yellow jersey with the number seven on it. His black bangs were pulled behind that made him look like a playboy. Naomi had her eyes fixated on him until some other girls' squealing caught her ears. They were admiring how good he was looking with his hair up and how much they wanted to date him. That made her really angry.
Joh could hear them too but he was fully ignoring them. He was looking at the little girl in yellow jersey with a number seven printed on it- it was more like staring. Naomi snapped out of her anger and looked at him again. He gestured something and that made her smile. She turned back and ran to other staircase. She went to the first floor and entered an empty class in the corner of the floor. Hilary noticed her, as she had been finding her for so long. She was on the other corner of the floor. As she stepped forward to go to her, she noticed the guy behind her. She quietly went to the door of the classroom and eavesdropped to the conversation.
"I was waiting to meet you," his voice was soft and tender, "I want to say something." Hilary realized what she was hearing.
Naomi was looking down shyly. Her bang's shadow was covering her face. She was sitting on a table and he was right in front of her – his hands on both side of the table. She could feel his breath as he was way too close. Their ears were deafened by their racing heartbeats.
"Say it," her voice was almost a whisper. His forehead was touching her bangs as he stared her sky blue eyes. She couldn't look at him, she felt weird. He said softly without hesitating, "Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
She looked up and pouted, "That's not how people do it." He scratched the back of his head, "I am a shy person myself, Naomi." She smiled and said, "Okay, so I am replying already. I love you, too."
"So let's close the deal with a kiss," he said and moved forward. She pushed him back and ran out of the room. "You complete dolt!"
She was so fast that she didn't even notice Hilary behind the door. Joh came out slowly. He gulped; his face was red as tomato. Then he noticed the brunette behind the door. Hilary looked at the guy. He was few inches taller than her and he had those sparkling blue eyes. She knew she was caught for eavesdropping so she ran away. "Sorry!"
Joh ran his hand through his hair and sighed, "Women!"
TO BE CONTINUED...
