Chapter 46: I'm not mad...

"Ugh..." Ayame sniffled under her blanket. She weakly picked the phone from her table and checked the time. She sighed "I'm late...I hate being sick...I should've brought my umbrella yesterday..."

"Aya-chan" her mother's gentle voice rang in her ears. The woman sat on the edge of her bed and wiped a cool cloth on her daughter's head "Are you feeling slightly better? I'll call a doctor if you need something"

"There's no need to call a doctor, mom" she weakly mumbled "I just need some rest and drink some medicine. I'll be fine"

"Don't worry, Aya-chan. I took a day-off from my office to take care of you" she ruffled the girl's hair "You'll get better soon. So, rest here in bed, okay? I'll go downstairs to prepare some soup"

The hairs on Ayame's back stood as she envisioned the result "M-mom, I-I don't think it's necessary"

"Nonsense. I don't want you to starve here. I'll prepare some soup for you to eat" the woman left, leaving her daughter dreading for the result of her food. Sighing, she pulled her blanket closer to her face and sneezed.

"I hope it doesn't taste that bad..." she clutched her blanket tightly and closed her eyes "I wonder if he's mad at me..."

"So she's absent today..." Yamaguchi thought, staring at Ayame's empty seat. He sighed and slumped on his desk when he heard Hinata asking the megane for help.

"We agreed on just before and after club, right?" Tsukishima raised an eyebrow "Right?"

Kageyama was looking away while the shorter teen did the talking "Well, the English teacher, Yoshida-sensei, was gone, so..."

He ignored them and slid his headphones on his ears "Please come back during business hours~"

The two gritted their teeth and stormed out, grumbling about how stingy the blonde is. Yamaguchi pitied them and thought of a way to at least help them. If Ayame's here, she'll probably scold the blonde for ignoring them and convince/blackmail him to help them. Or probably, she'll volunteer to help since she's the best in English.

If only she's here...

"Hinata!" the freckled teen chased after them.

"You're gonna teach us, Yamaguchi?" Hinata asked in a hopeful and excited voice.

"Sorry, I suck at English" he apologized, clasping his hands together. The two slumped when he said that.

"Remember that girl who came yesterday as a manager candidate?" he told them "She said she was in Class 5, so she might be good at studying"

"That's right" Hinata nodded "Class 4 and 5 are advanced. Thank you, Yamaguchi!"

"Hehehe...it's nothing really" he rubbed his neck sheepishly.

"Wait a minute, where's Ayame? I haven't seen her in your class earlier" Kageyama suddenly asked.

"Yeah, that's right!! Maybe we should ask her for help instead!!" Hinata hopefully said.

*At the Mizuki household*

"Achoo!!"

"Aya-chan, is your cold getting worse?" her mother asked, giving her another sheet of blanket.
