Happy 4th of July to all my Americans out there!

"Isn't that the girl that almost got raped?"

"There she is."

"I wonder if she's ok?"

It was Monday at school and somehow your incident got out. "I wonder what she did to provoke that kind of guy." Tsukishima and Yamaguchi whipped their heads around to glare at the guy who said that.

If looks could kill, he would be hella dead.

"Tsukki, Yama, let's go." You say pulling their arms. "They aren't worth it."

They both scoffed and continued walking to class. "Aren't you bothered by all this...uh... attention Y/n-chan?" Yama asked as you three walked into class.

Obviously when you did the class became quiet and you could feel everyone staring. "Of course I am." You look around the room and sit in your seat trying to ignore everyone.

You look up at Tsukishima and see him glaring at everyone in the class. The corner of your mouth formed a small smirk. "He's being extremely protective. It's kind of cute." You erase your thoughts as he sat down and looked at you.

"I am extremely bothered by all of this," you wrap your arms around your body, "but there is nothing I can do about it." And lay your chin on your desk.

You felt a buzz from your pocket. You pull your phone out to see a text message.

Tetsurou Kuroo: Call me when you get home tonight. Okay Short-fry?

You groan out loud.

"What is it?" Yamaguchi asked looking over your shoulder.

"Oh, a friend wants me to call him when I get home tonight." You type ok and hit send. "He's going to fuss over me and I really don't want to deal  with that." You put the phone in your pocket.

"Then don't call him." Tsukishima suggested.

You chuckle, "and risk him showing up to my house randomly. I'm good."

He scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Don't be jealous Tsukki, you come over almost everyday now."

Class began and lunch came sooner than you hoped.

It was interesting though. A few people came up to you and gave you gifts like sweets and flowers. They apologised for what happened and wished good health.

You hated it. You wished people would just stop bringing it up. You want to completely forget what happened and just go back to being a normal kid.

"It's ok to not be ok." Your sister rang through your mind.

"I'm going to get our drinks." You say getting up.

"I'll get it this time." Tsukishima said getting up and walking out the door before you could protest.

You look at Yamaguchi confused. "He doesn't want you to go out into the hall where a lot of people could bombard you."

"Oh" you sat down and continued to eat. "Why didn't he just say that?" You say as you stuff food into your mouth.

Yamaguchi smirked, "Tsukki has a reputation to uphold." You rolled your eyes at his comment.

"Ah yes, the 'I don't give a Damn' reputation." You looked around the room then back at Yama.

Tsukishima came back with the drinks and lunch ended soon after.

Unfortunately, the second part of class didn't go by as fast as you'd like. You had troubles focusing and kept thinking about him...
