⌞⤷ why did you do it? ˚˖𓍢ִ໋🦢˚࣪ ִֶָ☾. ⌝

Her eyes tracked his movements along with the people he played with at the court, Y/n so nervous that she feels like breathing would make the team lose. La sales team are tied scores with the neighboring schools team.

They try to make one more point as quick as they can before the timer runs out, both teams had won two rounds before, now the last round, unfortunately as of now.

Scores are tied and not one gave the opposing teams any openings for the ball to slip past their defense.

It was a heated game, everything felt like a blur as the people around her sucked their breath anticipating on who will win the whole game.

"Go Kotaro." She muttered under her breath, Ivana glanced at her friend, taking her hand squeezing it softly."I'm sure he'll win Y/n." Assuring her friend, feeling her hand cold to touch on her warm ones, Ivana couldn't help but feel a tang of pain on her heart;

'If i were to play a sport at some sorts, would she be this concern for my wellbeing?' A thought that crossed her mind, her gaze focused on Y/n, even though her eyes are fixated on the match before her.

Kotaro having the ball in his hands, he sprinted towards the opposing team's side to shoot the ball, meticulously avoiding the opponent's attempts to take the ball from his grasps. He can't screw it up, not now not ever!

Quickly glancing at the side where Y/n sat, her eyes on his form, solely focused on him; eye brows crinkling due to the focus she has on him, an energy surge coursed through his tired body.

He has to win the game, Y/n is watching, he can't disappoint her now can he?

Adrenaline pumping on his veins, he jumped slamming the ball inside the hoop, which earned them a point. The students of La sales up-roared in cheers along with the teachers, finally.

They won the game.

Kotaro was swarmed with his teammates as they cheered and congratulated him for winning the game, he smiled tirelessly at them whilst his eyes locked with E/c ones, Y/n was cheering loudly along with the bystanders.

He grinned brightly as he waved his hand for her to see, she waved back on her free hand the one that Ivana didn't hold, all while mouthing the word; 'congratulations.'

Her heart was breaking at the sight, no no! It can't be! If she was a stranger, Ivana would think that the two are in a relationship, based on how Kotaro looks at Y/n, even throughout the whole game his eyes always seem to find her gaze, holding Y/n's hands a little too hard.

She feels her breath knocked up out of her, no, 'please, please! I beg of you don't do this to me!' The intensity of her grip caused Y/n to look at her friend concerned, "Ivana are you ok?"

"No."

"Can we leave now? Please."

"Y/n please!" She pleaded, her eyes glossing tears threatening to spill, Ivana feels like she's about to lose it if she sees Y/n interact with Kotaro even from afar. She not supposed to do that, she's supposed to......

What was she supposed to do? They came here to watch the game, specifically the one he plays, why was her heart breaking? Why was her mind feel like it will rip apart, her thoughts plagued with Y/n.

Y/n.

Y/n.

Y/n.

An epiphany dawned unto her.

"Ivana?" Y/n asked, now they're finally out of the colosseum, although it wasn't at easy job due to the students crowding their path, i mean in all honesty it was such a heated game who wouldn't want to watch? Tears were streaming on her cheeks, snapping out of said trance she was welcomed by the sight of Y/n.

"Y/n?" She whispered almost inaudibly, "Sorry for dragging you here, but you said you wanted to leave so-

"I, love you." Ivana blurted out, taken aback by the suddenness of her statement, hesitantly she replied, "I love you too." Gradually glancing around the place swarming with students left and right, praying that she won't be heard by the love interest;

Which she should ask, 'when will the story begin?' Recalling the past events that occurred, if she remembered it correctly, the story line has begun;

'What the fuck is happening?!'

"No you don't get it!" She exclaimed in frustration, her heart stammering against her rib cage, clueless to as how nervous she is. Could it be that she'll like someone else? Or someone will take Y/n from her?

Why?

Why do i feel like this?

"I-

"Y/n!" Kotaro shouted, catching both their attention, he's going to take her away from you. Ivana looked at the guy that's now approaching them, you're just going to let him? Shielding Y/n from his sight, "We're talking, leave."

The male looked at Ivana as if he'd been offended, he scoffed; "You didn't made me leave back then what makes you sure I will now?" Ivana stood there her eyes widening at his statement, "Well then you leave me no choice."

"Ivana." Y/n called sensing that something bad is about happened based on her tone alone, swiftly taking a switchblade that resided on under her skirt, safely tucked on the knife holister strapped on her upper thigh;

Swinging at Kotaro's face, causing the blade to swipe his cheekbones, despite the heigh difference between the two, Ivana was fast to do it so without giving the male time to react at her attack.

Wasting no time Y/n pulled Ivana back, whence Kotaro hissed in pain as he touched his bleeding cheek, a shallow cut was placed there by Ivana, "What are you doing?!" Y/n turned to Ivana stressed, "Put the knife away and apologize!" She was scared, scared for Ivana's outcome after this incident gets spread around the school.

"Kotaro I'm so sorry-

She turned back to see an empty spot where he stood earlier,"Kotaro?" She called out to him, Looking around the area to see if he was there, but to no avail he was nowhere to he find.

"Do you hate me now?" She said almost like a whisper as her hand trembled while holding the knife, tears now formed once more on her brown eyes, "Well??" Ivana asked once more, Y/n didn't know what to say, she instead shook her head, "No."

"Put the knife away Ivana, let's go home." Y/n asked almost like a plead, the girl complied as she placed the knife back at the holster, trudging towards Y/n, she hugged her.

"Thank you, for not leaving." She mumbled against her shoulders, Ivana was sure that Y/n was about to leave her upon witnessing what she did earlier, "Ivana, please don't do that again." She nodded, now departing from the hug.

"Why did you do that anyways?" Y/n asked, even though the answer was obvious, Kotaro had provoked her enough for her to pull a stunt like that 'What is happening Ivana?'

As a reply she merely shook her head in dismissing the question, "Let's go home?"
