"Miyazaki-san, why are you late?" Your homeroom teacher asks when you reach school half an hour late.

'Oh, don't mind me, Sensei. Oikawa Tooru just freaking set me up and I freaking believed him and freaking stayed outside his door when he freaking was happily playing volleyball with his friends, that's all.'

Of course, you didn't say this out loud. You apologize for being late and rush to take your seat.

But really now. Half the day, Oikawa is all you think about, and it wasn't even funny anymore.

***

When the bell for lunch rings, you poke around in your bag and take out some money. Misaki rushes up to you with her money, and you two are about to go outside when you notice the crowd had begun to gather at the door.

"What's going on?" Misaki asks one of your classmates.

"Oikawa-san is standing outside the door!" The girl squeals, and you and Misaki exchanges glances.

By the time you both face the crowd again, Oikawa makes his way through the crowd, scanning everyone's face until he spots you. Before you can begun cursing the asshole, he grabs your wrist, filtering you through the girls and pulling you outside. He gives the other girls a wave before he runs down the hallway.

"Oi, let me go you dor-"

"Oikawa-kun, Miyazaki-san, no running in the hallways!" A female teacher scolds you two, but Oikawa pays no head and continues his way down the stairs. Dang, the dork's grip is so tight that you can't even wriggle free.

"Let me go!" You cry, even though the setter nonchalantly stops in front of the volleyball gym.

"Hey, let me g-"

He pulls you inside, and you see that there isn't anyone in the gym, no one at all. You were reaching your limit to getting pissed off, while he closes the door with a loud metallic thud.

"I know you always run off before you listen to what I have to say, but please hear me out."

"Why would I listen to you when you 'promised' to walk with me and I freaking stood outside your stupid freaking door for half an hour until Iwaizumi-senpai tells me you're here, playing VOLLEYBALL?"

"I had a practice match with a college team! I couldn't be absent, I'm the captain!" He cries, lifting both his hands up.

"You big liar. I can't believe you. You suck." You say, making your way to the door. He had turned on the gym lights, and you switch the buttons off before you grab the handle in annoyance. Oikawa turns the switches back on, and he finally sees the tears building up at the corner of your eyes.

"I-i swear, Masumi-chan, I tried to tell you!"

"Really? You live a floor below me, you seriously couldn't tell me?" You got more pissed at this. Lies on top of lies?

"I called the line! I even slipped a note under your apartment door! I swear, Masumi-chan. I'd never do that to you."

But of course, Oikawa had done multiple mean things to you. So, you couldn't trust him anymore.

"I hate your guts, Oikawa. I loathe you."

"Ugh, Masumi-chan, you just-"

Before he finished his own sentence, right when you grab the handle of the door again, he grabs your shoulder.

This time, he didn't stop you.

Instead, this time, he puts both his hands on your shoulder and leans in to kiss your lips.
