CHAPTER XI:ELECTRIC GUITAR GIRL
Hiro's POV,
I never felt this before...
My heart is beating so fast as if I am running some laps which I have never done before because of my asthma.
I don't know what causes me to feel this way...The crowd?The suffocation? The fast beats of their music?
Or because of the cool girl who's playing the electric guitar from the back?
She's not just mysteriously pretty but she's also super cool!!!
Their songs are also good which I can't help but sing along with them and their rhythm.
Because of my asthma, my activities are always limited.
My way of fun is only playing video games, reading mangas, and watching animes.
I also want to be like Eury...
She's so cool while she's playing volleyball. I want to be cheered by the crowd.
Like Marky... Whose always at top of our p.e class
I badly want to be like them but now...
I am free to experience this feeling.
This is my first time attending a live performance.
I look back at the girl then saw her looking in my direction also.
My eyes automatically lock on her only. I want to assume that she's only looking at me. That there is no one in this Mall but only me, who's watching her.
But for not too long she takes back her gaze in my direction then focuses again on her electric guitar.
My heart is beating so fast again. As if their drummer is beating my own heart instead of the drums.

After the performance worth two hours I went straight backstage.
I thought that I won't be able to survive the crowd of people earlier but unexpectedly, it wasn't that bad as I expected it to be. There's still enough space, and air for me to breathe over the spot I was on earlier.
There are still a lot of people in here backstage.
The staffs are busy tidying up their things, some of their fans who came here to take a picture with them, especially their band vocalist.
A girl suddenly poking at my side."Excuse me...?"I look at her giving her a puzzled look beside me
"Uhmm can you take a picture of us?" Then she shows me her phone while pointing to her group of friends, with the drummer and the electric guitar girl.
I immediately nod my head and take her phone from her hand. She quickly runs over to her group. Joining the group photo.
I position the camera to find the perfect angle to take their photo. Then I click the capture button.
"One more time!" I said to them before taking another shot but this time, I am only focusing on the electric guitar girl.
"Okay!" I said smiling. The girl who asked me came quickly to me to take her phone back.
"Uh...Can you send me this one photo first?" I nicely ask her while pointing to the last photo I took.
Her eyebrows meet showing confusion on her face."Why don't you just ask her to take a photo with you? I'll take it for you since you helped us!!" She gladly offers me but I just shake my head showing that I disagree with her.
"Nah hahaha, I just need this one photo." Then I wave to her my phone.
"Okay..? You sure??" She still asks me one final question but I said no again to her which only makes her send me the photo I took of the electric guitar girl.
She gave back my phone to me."Thanks a lot!!" I cheerily thank her.
"No problem!Thanks also for taking our photo!!" She says then leaves.
I don't even know the name of this girl in the photo.
So for now she's my electric guitar girl.
When will be there next performance?

Eury's POV,
It's our second day of training camp today. Right now we are against the Leoñes Academy.
Unlike yesterday, I am part of the game now.
"Let's see whose sets are better between us two!" She said smiling at the other side of the net.
I nod my head to her."yeah. I am looking forward to it."
We will be serving first.
"Nice serve!!!" My teammates said at my back to our player who will be serving.
She quickly serves the ball. The opponent's libero receives it right away. The ball is up in the air.
"NICE RECEIVEE!!!" The other team said.
The serve is good and strong but their libero is amazing also to receive it. Their number 7 receives it then toss to their setter."Grace!!!" Giving her a signal that she will be tossing it to her.
Grace sets the ball to their left."Jean!!"
Our middle blockers quickly went there to block. Their spike strongly spikes the ball but luckily our libero digs it which keeps the ball up in the air.
"NICE RECEIVEEEE!!" we all said to Olivia.
It's only the start but the game is already intense.
Keziah quickly supports then toss the ball to me.
"GIVE IT TO MEEE!!!" Keziah asking for a set.
Knowing that I will set the ball to the center, their blockers quickly went there.
But I gave it to Pauleen on the left side. I gave her a high toss to give her options on how she is going to spike it to pass over to the opponent's blockers.
They were all surprised by my set and Pauleen quickly made a cross-shot in the middle.
"NICE KILL!!!" They all said to Pauleen.
Her cross-shots and quick are amazing. She's not the ace but she is one of our best offenses.
"Nice kill..." I simply compliment her.
"NICE TOSS EURY!!YOUR TOSSES ARE THE BEST!!"She says loudly to make the other teams hear it.
I just made a palm face because she's starting a fight again.
"You just scored by luck!!" Samantha mockingly says from the bench.
"HUH?!! Says the one who can't even do a clean shot on our team!!!" Pauleen didn't let it pass of course.
"Wow!!! It's cool to see your sets in person!! I am so happy that I attend this training camp with you!" Grace suddenly interrupts.
"I am also happy to attend this camp with you." I genuinely tell her back. Then we went back to our position to play again.
This is only the start of our practice match.
We are not here to compete.
We are only here to learn new skills from each other.
To become the best team.
