"Alright! I need to go now, I'll miss the bus!"
(in distance) "Okay honey, love you! Have a great day!"
"I will, love you too!" *You're probably wondering who I was talking to, that's my mum. She's so nice, but you do NOT want to get on her bad side. She becomes the literal devil! Anyway, back to the story.*
My name is Oikawa Toruu, I'm a third year and the captain at Aoba Joshai. I usually walk but recently I've decided to get out of my comfort zone and take public transport, that place where you're usually bullied and picked on like I was in junior high. I've decided to take the bus to a practise match with a bunch of other teams. As I step onto the bus and make my way to a seat, I get chills up my spine, almost like someone here wants me... dead.
'Is there an assassin here!? Do they want to kill me!? What is they kill my mother!?'
As you can see, I'm quite the worrisome person, especially for my mother. She's always been there for me, unlike my father, who left me just weeks after my birth on July 20th, in 2004. I keep looking around, wondering if there is someone who wants me dead, but all I get is... Shiratorizawa. GOD! 'Why do they have to be on the bus? Why couldn't THEY walk to the gymnasium?'
'You got this Oikawa, just step off the bus like a normal person.' But of course, I didn't. I lost my balance and went flying towards the ground, but... I hadn't hit the ground yet. Someone had caught me by my jersey! Who was it? Was it a beautiful lady who's willing for me to thank her by a lovely kiss~? No. It was Ushijima Wakatoshi.
"Are you okay there, Captain?" He questioned me.
"Why yes, I'm perfectly fine. Thanks for your assistance, Captain." I reply with complete sarcasm and a stunning frown.
I begin making my way through the entrance to the gymnasium but realise he's walking behind me, following me, stalking me! He's being a weirdo like they see on the news with little girls!
"Why are you following me?" I decide to try get some answers out of him, but he doesn't even look at me. "Hey! Answer me! Why are you following me?!" Still nothing. I sped up, watching behind every so often. I was losing him! YES! He eventually formed into a little dot ages back, so I felt accomplished. Until...
"Ahhh! It's Oikawa-san!" Fangirls screaming, crowding me, annoying me!
"Aha, yeah. Was there something you girls wanted?" I question them with utter nervousness as I scratch the back of my neck.
"Can you please sign our school bags!? It would be so great if you could! Use my pen, here." One of the fangirls frantically kept asking me to use her 'special' pen, but whatever, I used it anyway. I signed their bags, handed back the pen, and went on my way. While hearing screeches and crys in the background.
"He finally signed it! I'm gonna put it on my wall."
'Jeez, go for someone else for once girls!' Finally, they were gone. but someone else wasn't. Ushijima was still behind me, but now it wasn't just him, IT WAS HIS WHOLE TEAM! IT WAS THE WHOLE OF SHIRATORIZAWA!
"Why are you here?! What do you want Ushijima!?" I threw questions at him like they'd do something, but they didn't. He never answered, never looked, never even glimpsed an eye to acknowledge me.
"Don't listen to the puny lad Ushijima. He'll get in your way~." One of the players whispered in his ear, although it wasn't really whispering but more like quiet shouting. He had tall, red hair, and a voice that continuously rolled after certain words.
"Of course Tendou. Puny people are the reason for our strength." He spoke in his deep voice, and stared me down. He made me feel small, weak and what he says... puny.
As he strolled off inside to reach the gymnasium, I decided to meet up with my own team. I now know what my mother meant by...
"Oikawa, before you leave. make sure you acknowledge 'the meeting' between you and him."
"Uh, sure? But what do you mean by 'him'?"
"Don't worry honey, but you'll know who 'he' is when you feel it inside you."
Ushijima Wakatoshi, you are... him.
