Junior High School
The smooth short champagne-colored hair swayed gently in the breeze. The handsome face had a straight nose and gentle and affectionate eyes. The brown pupils seemed to hide amber in the eyes, restraining the light.
The boy looked at Hinata Aoi calmly, his tone without a trace of emotion. The cold undertone beneath his gentle face slowly revealed itself, but it did not destroy his handsomeness, but instead added a special three-dimensional sense.
Such a person should be very famous in the school, but Hinata Aoi, who was away from the crowd, had never heard of him. She just glanced at him, freed one hand, and typed with one hand:
"Wait a mininute."
You can appreciate handsome guys, but doing the job is more important.
Hinata Aoi continued to collect water as if no one was around.
It was a close call. I thought he was here to get water. There was almost not enough water for her to catch.
Makoto Sunagawa: “…”
It was also the first time that he was ignored like this, by a girl at that.
He has always hated those who only care about appearances and flock to him like bees and butterflies. Now he is suddenly ignored and he is a little uncomfortable.
He knew Hinata Aoi.
The girl who came out with so many water bottles to fill them up was obviously from a larger sports club, and she was the girl with black hair that others mentioned.
Makoto Sunagawa roughly confirmed Hinata Aoi's identity just by looking at her back. When he got closer and looked into the girl's unique eyes, he was even more certain that his guess was correct.
He found the right person to ask for directions, and even found the only female manager of the men's volleyball team.
"...Let me help you."
Feeling embarrassed to watch others work, Makoto Sunagawa found a place to put down his schoolbag and rolled up his sleeves to help Hinata Aoi fill the water bottle.
Seeing that the boy was ready to help, Hinata Aoi, although she didn't know him, didn't bother to be polite with him. She took out her hand to measure the height of the water, and stared at Sunagawa Makoto until he finished filling the first bottle of water. After confirming that he understood what she meant, she let him work alone.
For a moment, the only sound was the sound of water hitting the bottle.
Watering ing——
"Thank you. Just follow me."
Makoto Sunagawa put his backpack on again and followed Hinata Aoi.
He came to look for his childhood friend, Takeo Goda.
Although the tough guy told him not to wait for him on the phone, he thought about it and decided to come and take a look.
Given how popular the tough guy is among the boys, he is not worried about how he will get along with the volleyball club members.
However, Takeo joined a men's volleyball club that was famous for its excellent academic performance and strict management. Takeo knew nothing about volleyball before, so Sunagawa Makoto was worried and wanted to see how his young son was doing in the volleyball club.
When we walked to the door, we saw that the tallest and strongest person was Takeo Goda, who was ten blocks ahead of everyone else.
He was practicing his pass intently in the corner alone.
The posture is OK, the concentration is OK, but the strength is not OK. The ball was cushioned too high and almost hit the ceiling.
The first few times were padding normally, but once it went wrong, it went wrong every time.
The tough guy has well-developed reflexes and is fast enough. Even a novice would try to save a high-parabolic ball if it goes off target, let alone him.
But he couldn't guarantee the direction of the ball he rescued, so it flew everywhere. The strong man also ran around, shifting from the corner to the center little by little, and created a vacuum zone around him.
I don’t know if the surrounding team members were very tolerant or didn’t dare to speak up, but no one blamed or stopped Takeo Goda.
It was Kageyama who discovered it later and stopped the man, asking the tough guy to go back to the corner to practice again. If the ball missed, he would let it fall naturally and pick it up to start again.
Hinata Aoi asked Sunagawa Makoto to wait at the door while she went in to call the tough guy out.
"Ah Sha, what are you doing here?"
The tough guy held the volleyball and looked at Makoto Sunagawa with confusion, not realizing at all that he was a cause for concern.
"It's okay, I just walked over on the way."
It wasn't on the way at all, but Sunagawa Makoto was used to not explaining anything to his simple-minded friend.
Seeing that Mengnan was having so much fun playing by himself in the volleyball club, he knew that there was nothing to worry about Mengnan. It would be better to worry about the teammates nearby who might be accidentally injured by Mengnan.
Having seen the person, Sunagawa Makoto no longer stopped:
"Then I'll be leaving first."
"Ah? Oh...see you tomorrow!" Why is Ah Sha always acting weird?
The confused hunk stood at the gym entrance and watched his best friend leave.
Before Makoto Sunagawa completely left the tough guy's sight, another figure walked towards him.
The boy met Makoto Sunagawa on the road, looked at each other, then looked away and passed each other.
The boy, Inujuan Ji, came to the door of the gymnasium and stood still.
It was also the first time that Inumaki Saki saw Takeo Goda. He was shocked by his size, which was far beyond that of an ordinary person. After a few seconds, he took out his phone:
"Hello, is Hinata Aoi here?"
"Oh..." Who is Hinata Aoi?
Why does it sound like a girl's name? Did I look in the wrong place? Yes, there are many boys with names that sound like girls.
Gouda Takeo, who didn't know Hinata Aoi's name, convinced himself.
Being kind-hearted, he thought it didn't matter if he didn't know her, he would have his own way.
The tough guy turned his head and took a deep breath:
"Is Hinata Aoi here? Someone's looking for you at the door!"
The loud and high voice broke through the air, scaring Hinata Aoi, who was standing not far from him and adjusting her towel, so much that her heart almost stopped beating.
All the team members stopped moving at once and focused their attention.
Gouda Takeo, who received no response, wondered if he hadn't heard or if the person was not there, so he called out again:
"Hinata Aoi! Is anyone there?"
The team members present looked at the girl, then at the macho man, and for a moment they lost the ability to speak and began to feel embarrassed for Hinata Aoi.
It was Kageyama who finally came to his senses from this absurd situation and said loudly:
"Here I am!"
The finger pointed in the direction of Hinata Aoi.
"Are you there?"
"Where is it?"
"ah……"
Only then did Gouda Takeo notice that Hinata Aoi had sneaked out of the gymnasium beside him, and he took a few steps back in surprise as he suddenly realized what had happened.
It turns out that the girl who greeted him since he joined the volleyball club was Hinata Aoi... He didn't even know her name, and yet he kept shouting it out so rudely?!
"Feel sorry!"
Hinata Aoi waved her hand to indicate that it was okay. It was also her fault for not telling Takenoko her name, so she was also responsible for making this joke.
There was no time to comfort the muscular man who bowed and apologized behind her. Hinata Aoi looked at the entrance of the gymnasium and saw Inumaki Satoru who was in a state of near-death.
"Why are you here?"
Only then did Inumaki Ji withdraw his thoughts from Gouda Takeo, with a look of wanting to cry but unable to.
He really wanted to cover the other person's mouth, but he was not tall enough...
Feeling that he had gotten into trouble, Goujuanji gave an embarrassed smile and picked up the bag in his hand to atone for his sin.
Today, Gojo Satoru took them to a dessert shop and ate a particularly delicious cake. He wanted to bring it to Hinata Aoi to try.
The taste of the cake would be worse by tomorrow, so Goujuan Ji asked the driver to take him back to school.
In the words of Gojo Satoru, you can train at any time, but the best time to enjoy desserts should not be missed!
"Thanks."
Hinata Aoi took the dessert, looked back in Sato's direction, and pointed outside the venue.
Thanks to the tough guy's loud voice, Sato had been paying attention to the movement at the door. When he saw it, he immediately raised his hand and replied "OK".
After successfully reporting the itinerary, Hinata Aoi took Inumaki Satoru out of the gymnasium and went somewhere else to share the delicious food.
Gouda Takeo was still blaming himself with tears in his eyes as he hurried over to ask Kageyama Tobio, who had come to check on his training results:
"Hinata-san won't hate me, will he?"
"ah……"
Kageyama didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after hearing the tough guy's question, he didn't dare to jump to conclusion.
"I'm not sure, but just apologize, right?" Hadn't he already apologized? Hinata didn't say anything, so it was okay.
The tough guy was full of energy: "Okay!"
The apology just now wasn't formal enough. I need to apologize to Hinata-san again!
Two people with different brain circuits reached a consensus.
——
The next day lunch break——
Hinata Aoi was sitting at her seat, waiting for Inuju Tsuchiya, who had gone to the bathroom, to come back so they could go out for lunch together.
Nearly half of the students were still in the class, enjoying their meal and chatting.
His tall and slender figure leaned slightly into the front door of the classroom.
"Excuse me, is Hinata-san here?"
"Hinata-san..."
The girl sitting at the door was chatting with her deskmate. When she heard the pleasant voice, she thought it was something special. When she turned around, she was struck by the handsome face of the boy outside the door, and her eyes were fixed on him.
I could only simply repeat what the boy said without thinking at all.
"Yes, Hinata Aoi-san."
Worried that there might be repeated surnames, the boy repeated his name in full.
The girl finally regained consciousness and immediately turned to Hinata Aoi and stammered, "Hinata Aoi, ah no, Hinata-san, there's a handsome guy looking for you!"
Bright eyes and rosy cheeks are more effective than any makeup.
The expression on the girl’s face read – “There’s a surprise, come quickly!”.
Hinata Aoi, who tried hard to remain invisible, felt really helpless after being called by her full name in public for two consecutive days.
And who is this “handsome guy”?
Hinata Aoi stood up under the girl's urging gaze. She didn't intend to cross the class and face the attention of other classmates. She went out from the back door and walked through the corridor to the front door.
As soon as Hinata Aoi walked out of the back door, she recognized the boy who was looking for her - Makoto Sunagawa.
There is a reason why this pair of good brothers are so close, as both of them are a bit unlucky for her.
Before Hinata Aoi could take out her notebook, Sunagawa Makoto handed over the lunch box in his hand:
"This is a snack made by Mengnan's mother. I asked Mengnan to bring it to you."
"He has something to do and can't come now, so he asked me to bring him over." He was being chased by the Taekwondo Club and the Football Club, asking him to participate in the campus exchange competition.
By the way, before joining the Taekwondo Club, Takeo Goda also tried out for the football club and was a goalkeeper that no one could kick through.
Goda Takeo felt it was boring and had no choice but to join the Taekwondo Club.
"Thank you for helping the tough guy yesterday. He can be quite noisy and offensive sometimes, so please bear with me."
"Just return the lunch box to the tough guy during the club activities."
Not wanting to trouble Hinata Aoi to write a reply, Sunagawa Makoto quickly explained what he was doing and said goodbye.
When leaving, he met Goujuanji again. Their eyes met again and then separated.
Gojuanji: “…”
He saw the lunch box wrapped in floral cloth in Hinata Aoi's hand, and turned to look at Sunagawa Makoto's back.
An inexplicable sense of crisis surged in his heart...
