A weekend has passed since the festival. The romantic and passionate dance of Glenn and Winter still fresh in their minds. The bliss of being able to open up to each other and get even a little bit closer still hard to forget.
What the hell? Why was she mad at me? I literally said her cooking was great. So why is she mad? I don't get it.
Also, why did I say all those cringeworthy
stuff? Gosh, I want to die. But, the necklace I gave her, I hope she liked it. Glenn thought.
Glenn further wonders about Winter's reaction to his compliment as well as what she thought of the necklace he gave. He kept thinking whether she wore it today and suddenly had the urge to see her but he remembers that Winter might still be mad at him.
He continued to eat his lunch as he's deep in thought. He suddenly pointed his chopsticks to the person in front of him and said, "So Dean, how long do you plan on looking directly at me and keep being dangerously close. We're quite literally 2 inches away." Glenn said.
"Oh, don't mind me, please do continue with your internal contemplation. Oh, to be young. The youth of today is always interesting after all." Dean said with a smile in return
While Dean and Glenn continued to talk so close, the fujoshi trio took pictures while their noses were bleeding like waterfalls in the Philippines. They're also part of the newspaper club so this was a big scoop.
"You're messing up the floor you dimwits!" Glenn shouted while pointing at the blood the girls spilled.
They started laughing horrendously as they mentioned sex positions and other super inappropriate words. Their eyes were swirling from so much enjoyment of seeing two guys close enough to almost kiss.
Glenn needed to go as far away from these mentally ill people as soon as he possibly could. He snuck away while Dean was distracted from the three girls.
I better go to the roof to get a fresh breath of air. Wait, Winter might be there. Crap, maybe I should just go out back. Glenn thought.
-School Backyard-
Glenn rested under the trees' shade and lay there for a while. The cozy grass beneath the trees became the cause for Glenn to suddenly fall victim to a sleep wave.
Hours later,
Glenn's eyes slowly twitched as he was waking up, he suddenly remembers that he still has classes to attend. "Oh crud,the teachers are gonna kill me." He rushed to his classroom and in only a few seconds he reached the door to his class.
While in front of the door, he again remembers that he was actually excused from classes for volleyball team practice. He rushed to the gymnasium with amazing speed. "I'm so sorry coach!" Glenn shouted when he arrived.
Glenn was ordered to do a hundred push-ups as punishment for being late. Glenn didn't have much endurance so it was hard for him to do so but he still did it anyway.
Glenn panted very heavily as Arby, Astrio, and Dean laughed at him. "Damn, these bastards.I'm going to whip and beat their ass later." Glenn thought as he drank water. The whole team continued with their practice.
After an hour, they were given a break. A teammate and friend of Glenn asked if he was okay. This boy is Adla Spence, a second year and the libero of their team. He's known to be extremely energetic, humorous and extremely joyful.
Glenn nods while panting heavily. "Looks like Arby is getting more and more fans." Adla says while looking at Arby flirting with the girls watching us at practice.
Glenn went out of the gymnasium to wash his face for a while. After he wiped his face Glenn rested for a while. Then he finally decided to re-enter the gym.
"Here, have a drink." Someone said with a small feminine voice while pressing a canned energy drink on Glenn's face.
"Thanks... oh wait that's cold, Winter?!" Glenn shakes for a while because of how cold it was.
As soon as Glenn looked at Winter, he noticed several things like: she was wearing her glasses from before. She smelled more like flowers. Her hair has gotten a bit longer. Although, when he looked towards her neck, she wasn't wearing the necklace.
Aww, I guess she didn't like it then. Well, what'd I expect? It wasn't really for a rich person. But, I really wish she would've worn it today. Glenn thought.
"Something wrong?" Winter asked.
To which Glenn replied, "Oh, nothing. It's nothing."
Glenn forgets about moping over such an unnecessary thing. He thought that thinking of such things was unreasonable and irrational. He instead smiled and was really happy that Winter decided to keep wearing the glasses that he thought looked good on her.
"Hmm? C'mon, what is it Sir Steps Alot?"
Winter continued to ask while smirking about Glenn's dance capabilities. He kept stepping on her feet a lot that night at the rooftop.
"It's nothing. On a more serious note, are your feet okay?" Glenn asked in concern while searching Winter's feet for injuries.
Winter looked at Glenn's eyes and thought of how gentle and passionate it looked. Winter put her arms around Glenn and hugged him from the side very tightly while her eyes were closed. This made Glenn's face red as he felt Winter's warmth.
Glenn accidentally catches a peak of Winter's chest area. He saw the necklace he gave her and it made him smile quite a bit. Winter however didn't notice this and continues to hug him.
She proceeded to lightly pat him on the back and said with a soft voice, "Of course I am. Now, goodluck on practice, I'll be watching." POV YOUR CRUSH WATCHING YOU PLAY WHICH WILL NEVER HAPPEN (AN EDITOR'S NOTE).
Glenn took off as he drank the canned drink and said thanks to Winter. Numerous balls were flying around the gymnasium. Countless squeaks from shoes caused by endless running made the court so lively and as if it was singing.
A number of recieves, tosses, spikes, and serves were made throughout their practice. Glenn and his team also practiced with combination plays and other moves. Winter continued to watch Glenn from the sidelines even missing school as a result.
-Next Day
Right now, I'm laying in bed cause my whole body hurts from all that intense training yesterday. Gosh, I think I'm gonna die. I tried to stand, Ow, ow, ow that hurts damn it. Man, I feel like an old geezer.
Maybe I should get a cane or something. Damn, this body trying to kill me slowly but surely. I wonder, what if my muscles don't heal any more from this soreness? Will Winter take care of me? Probably not, I don't see her doing so.
*Phone call*
"Who is it?" I asked with a bit of irritation as my body was still sore. The pain I felt also affected thr sound of my voice which made me sound a bit old.
The caller answered with so much heavy breathing and I immediately knew who it was. "No Arby! I do not want to see your newly bought adult magazine!" I said as I hung up the phone.
*phone call*
"You know you want to Gle-" Arby said as I hung up again.
That damned pervert with his fetishes. Why the hell is he dragging me along with him?!
*phone call*
"Damn you Arby, I already told you I'm not interested in your adult mags!" I shouted
"...So anyway, are you free this weekend? I want to go with you somewhere."
T-this voice, oh sh*t… it's Winter's
"Y-yeah! And uhm... sorry about what I shouted earlier by the way." I answered all excited
