Saeko was not a really good student back in High School. Don't get her wrong, she had good grades, didn't bother any of her professors, but outside the classroom, she was a little different. Maybe it was because she hung out with boys most of the time, maybe it was her hairstyle or the pierced ears. No matter what it was, her female classmates weren't nice to her. They made rumors, spread it like a virus and soon, nobody looked at her with respect. People were whispering on her way, behind her back, and some had the courage to actually ask her a few intrusive questions.

"- Is that true that you slept with Udai, from the volleyball club ?" a boy yelled at her, one morning.

Tanaka never heard of him before, probably an underclassman. Blushing against her will, she sped up her walk and went to the locker of the only person that could give her answers.

"- Tsukishima Akiteru !" she growled in a hushed voice.

The blond jumped and turned to look at her, fear painted on his face. Before he could open his mouth, the girl continued her speech.

"- Why !? Why did you tell them ? I thought we were friends, for fuck's sake ! Saeko whispered-shouted, quivering with wrath.

- What are you talking about ? I didn't-

- That was me." a loud voice cut off the assaulted.

Both turning to the source of it, the blond students discovered nobody but Udai Tenma, alias The Little Giant of Karasuno. The black-haired boy was standing with pride, his back to the wall, a foot bent under him. The smirk printed on his face made the teenager girl want to puke.

"- Be careful who you let inside your panties, Tanaka. You wouldn't want the whole school to know that you're such a slut."

The corridor was crowded. All the persons present started to look at her, snickering for the older of them, happy to find out the truth about this story.

Akiteru pulled the humiliated girl by the arm, leading her away from the scene and from this…

"- Asshole ! He's a complete bastard, don't listen to him, Sae. In a few days, everyone will have forgot about that.

- He promised me, Aki. He said he wouldn't tell anyone."

Tears began to drench the third year's cheeks, and when she lifted her gaze to look her friend in the eyes, the latter found his heart breaking at the sight.

"- I-I know. I'm so sorry."
