The Girl at the Store (Hiatus)

8. Rivalry

Hey! I'm back

I'm still busy with school and moving so please don't be mad if I don't update a lot

Also

My god 1k+ views?-

That's a lot of people that have read this crappy story-

Atsumu's eyes widen as he realizes who she is

'She's that girl who always also beats me during PE!'

"Hey! You're that girl who always guards the goal during soccer!" He shouts out

"Eh?" Kowa sounds.
"You heard me!"
"Well I'm just playing the game? Isn't that the poi-!"
"Oh shush!"
"Why are you getting mad that I'm good at playing goalie?" She says in a sort of annoyed, angry tone.

"HUH!" He yells

They start going back and forth with insults while they all just watch. Osamu pokes F/N and points to the counter signaling 'can you scan my stuff'

She nods and they walk over to the counter (along with Akagi) while Suna just watches Kowa and Atsumu argue.

"My god, they're fighting like how you and Atsumu fight." Akagi says to Osamu "Except this time HE started the fight."

"It's not always my fault."

"Notice how you "not always" instead of "I never", Osamu."

"He- you know what? Fine." She checks out their items and waved them a goodbye

They both wave to her and turn to the two trouble makers

"Hey, we're going now so stop fighting with her."

...

"They don't seem like they're gonna stop any time soon Osamu?" Suna says to the grey haired twin.

"Ugh, I hate when I have to do this."He walks up behind him and kicks him at the behind of the knee.
"OW!"
"Stop fighting! Especially in F/N's store."Akagi said loudly as he pushed him out the door. Suna waves F/N a goodbye

Then four volleyball players exit the store. Leaving Kowa and F/N alone. Kowa feels somewhat uncomfortable but walks up to the counter and smiles. F/N grabs her note book and writes something down to her

Hi (again)

F/N slides a pen to the inarizaki student, signaling her to write back.

Hi

How are you

I'm good but confused

Oh why are you confused?

How do you know the miya twins? You don't have to tell me but I'm just curious

Kowa writes back to the deaf girl.

It's nothing to be secretive about. The volleyball team just came into my store one time and then actually I don't really know but they came into my store

Oh yeah

What about you? Judging by Atsumu's face he looked angry at you

Oh at school. I always beat him at soccer and he obviously doesn't like that

You play soccer? Are you good at it?

I guess you could say I am

What position? I know a bit about soccer

Oh well just goalie it's kinda simple

No way. My eyes are always on the goalie when I'm watching soccer matches

Really?

Of course! The last defense is always the most attractive one

"Did I read that right?" Kowa asked herself out loud "She watches the goalie because she thinks they're attractive?"

I'm sorry attractive? Did I read that right?

Yes

Oh. Interesting

Kowa lifts her head to see her face

As soon as their eyes meet, she starts laughing

Of course I don't watch the goalie just because they're attractive. I can't believe you believed that

Kowa blushed in embarrassment

"I really believed her!"

Don't worry. The real reason I keep on eyes on the goalie is because they're the last defense. If you think about it. They have the most nerve racking job yet most of them seem so smooth and when they mess up, they seem so cool about it. I would really like to see you play against Atsumu some day.

You really wrote a whole a whole paragraph

Of course I'm a big fan of sports

They went back and forth for awhile until Kowa got a phone call

She looked at the caller ID and she swallowed

She held it close to her ear

"Mhm. Yes I'll come home now. I'm sorry. Yes. I know I will." She finally put her phone down and she jotted something down quickly

I need to get back home. Talk to you tomorrow

Kowa joted down before she ran out the door. F/N was quite confused and startled

'She left so suddenly?' She thought in confusion 'Oh wait! I have her number!'

She pulled out her phone and went into her contacts

To: Kowa Rezuyama
From: F/N L/N

Why did you leave so suddenly?

About after a 4 minutes she finally said something back

To: F/N L/N
From: Kowa Rezuyama

Oh, my dad called me home.

To: Kowa Rezuyama
From: F/N L/N

Hm alright

F/N put don't her phone thinking back to her facial expression when she got the call

She seemed scared and frightened

'No one should be scared when their parents call them. Right?'

Kowa panicked silently on the bus while she pulled out her phone to text her someone

From: Kowa Rezuyama
To: Ray Todoroki

Hey

They responded shortly after

From: Ray Todoroki
To: Kowa Rezuyama

Are you ok? Where are you? I just heard him yelling at his phone. Do you need me to calm him down?

From: Kowa Rezuyama
To: Ray Todoroki

Yes, you know the girl that gave me her number? I ended up talking to for too long and I lost track of time. Please make something up.

From: Ray Todoroki
To: Kowa Rezuyama

I got you. I'll say you were studying at the library.

From: Kowa Rezuyama
To: Ray Todoroki

Yeah that's good. Thank you

She put down her phone and sighed

Her mind replayed the events that happened and she eventually remembered Atsumu Miya

"Atsumu," she said quietly "He really does remind me of him.."

(Todoroki is actually a common last name in Japan)
