Hinata's pov 

"So tell me why you're late again..?" (L/n) raised a brow tapping the pen on the desk rapidly, with a very quiet Kageyama standing next to me. 

...

After lunch, me and Kageyama started practicing again, I know (L/n)-San told me not to, but I got completely carried away. I guess I miss volleyball more than I thought and I could tell the same with Kageyama. But if I tell her, she'll just be disappointed. With what I have planned, screwing up like this brings me back to square 1 all over again..

As I was about to open my mouth Kageyama began. "W-We had study hall!" He shoved his hands in his pockets sending a glare my way, I figured not to interfere. 

A/n: Study hall, is basically a free period in high school (or middle school), which is used as free time to work on a subject you're failing

My eyes quickly widen as I frantically shook my head, it makes sense if Kageyama had study hall since no one knows he gets tutored now, but why would I purposely have that period if (L/n)'s already here to help me. 

He mouthed the words "What? What's wrong?" Seems like he doesn't get. I face palmed and it went dead silent, until we heard (L/n) burst from laughter. 

"You guys are really bad liars.." she put the pen down. "So what's the real reason?" She gave us a sad smile, I don't know about Kageyama but I sure felt another pang in my chest, more of guilt. I remember the other day she thought I was upset with her.

I took a deep breath and decided to suck it up. "We were practicing again..." I hesitated, but managed to let the words escape my lips. Kagyama stayed quiet although I could feel him peering straight through me. I gulped and (L/n) stood up with two pieces of paper. 

We both tilted our heads as she made our way in front of us. "I'll let these recent quizzes of yours,  decided if you'll be able to practice again, remember what we worked on these past few days?" 

We both nodded. I could feel the tension from all 3 of us. "T-That's fair." I scolded myself for stuttering again in front of her, as if I embarrassed myself enough already. 

She handed Kageyama his paper first, "Don't look unless I say so." (L/n) giggled, I ended up smiling at it, it's only been a day since I heard her cute laugh. And I already miss it.

"Excited? Hinata-Kun?" She handed me my quiz as well. 

"No.. it's just that you sounded cute." I laughed as I turned over my quiz. But it went dead quiet again. I looked up and realized what I blurted out. Even Kageyama was surprised. Their eyes focused on me while I was about to have a mental breakdown. 

"A-Ah I meant!! You sounded l-like a teacher!..?" I heard Kageyama snicker. As (L/n) laughed again. 

"You guys can turn over your papers now.." her cheeks were a light shade of red and her voice was more quiet, my heart beat was getting faster, I don't know if it's the quiz or the fact that (L/n)-San is flustered over me calling her cute. Is this a sign? A sign that she could possibly like me back? Me?! 

I buried the thoughts deep inside my head as I looked down at my score. My eyes widen and my gasp was loud enough for the 3 of us to hear. 

A 89/100

I was seeing stars as I looked back up at (L/n) who was smiling very brightly giving me and Kageyama a thumbs up. 

"S-So can we..?" He raised a brow.

"Go knock your socks off, not literally!! Take it easy we still have 3 more weeks." She chuckled. 

I was way too excited to even speak I quickly dropped my paper and hugged (L/n), she felt warm, and I know I wouldn't be here if it weren't for her. I can practice again? Not in secret too! (L/n)-San, you're amazing, your help is beyond a miracle. 

I wish I could say that to her though. I guess 3 more weeks it is.

Let the practice begin.
