K: Okay, to make some things more clear, this chapter is at the same time as the previous one… Just from an other point of view…
Thinking of you

Chapter 2: Shocking discoveries
Tachibana's POV
'Curry… Hmmm…'
I look around.
I smirk softly.
Everybody is sleeping…
No wonder, classes are so boring.
Why do I even bother to show up? I'm doing nothing here.
Yeah, staring outside and daydreaming…
I can do that at home too…
Without my knowing, my eyes scan the room… Searching.
A small, almost non-existing smile finds its way to my lips when I see Hitonari. His eyes closed. Almost sleeping.
'I really should find a way to win… To become better than him…
Ha, he thinks he's better than me… Pfff… I'll show him he's not.
Soon. Not now, not yet, but soon.'
I snicker. No-one noticed.
'3 Weeks… If we win every match from now on, we plat against Hayamazaki in 3 weeks.
I can hardly wait. We're so gonna beat them. Ha!'
I turn to look outside again, not noticing Hitonari looking back at me.
I can't believe him!
Why is he avoiding me?
I got, what? 3 Passes?
Training is over and I got 3 miserable passes!
What's wrong with you Hitonari? What's your problem?
How do you expect us to become better, to win from Hayamazaki if you cast me out?
I'm gonna give you a piece of my mind Hiiragi! Truly!
Damn it! How could you?
Huh? Where's Yama going to?
Pfff… never mind. Why should I care? Right now, I'm just gonna yell at YOU Hiiragi! Damn it, I'm angry!
…
Strange, you're the only person I can't stay mad at… I can tell you I'm so angry that I hate you, but I don't mean a word of it…
Anyway, beware Hiiragi, I'm coming!
"Nothing's wrong."
Huh? Who's he talking to?
"I wouldn't say so… You were far from playing good. Your thoughts weren't with the game. That's not your normal attitude. You always give yourself 100. So, what's the matter?"
Aha, so this was where Yama was going to…
"Nothing's wrong Yama. Just leave it okay."
I snort. Sure nothing's wrong…
"Is it about Tachibana?"
What? Why did I come into this picture?
What does he mean? What about me?
"I thought so..."
You thought so what Yama? I don't understand…
"How… What makes you think so?"
Huh? What are you saying? Your voice is shaking Hitonari… What IS wrong with you?
"You avoided giving him passes. Didn't you notice how angry he got?"
Clearly not, or he would have given me more passes…
"And, your eyes give you away…"
… His eyes give him away? What are they talking about?
"Yama, wait."
"Does anyone else know?"
Know what?
"No, and I'm not going to tell them. Not until he knows first…"
What do I have to know?
"No, he may never know. He'll hate me if he found out. I don't want to loose his respect, his…friendship."
…?
"Says who?"
Yama's walking out of the room. A surprised look on his face when he sees me.
"What was that all about?"
You snicker.
"Can't you guess?"
My eyes widen when it hits me.
"You can't mean that…"
Yama shrugs and walks away.
Leaving me alone in the hallway, with what I just found out.
'He can't mean that… That's impossible… Hitonari… No… Impossible…
Or isn't it?
Does he really…
Do I…?'
TBC
K: so, let me know what you think about it… I would really appreciate it!
See ya next time : )
