Chapter 4 - Petals Of A Smile


I walk back to my room and sit on my bed, I got dressed in my PJs and lay down, outside the sky was dark, the stars waving in the sky as I let a tear trickle down my cheek.

I can't bother to wipe it away so I let it come, the memory of her makes my week, just seeing volleyball makes my sick in the stomach. I reach under my bed and pull out a frame, the broken glass of the frame was so fragile I had to be careful how I held it, the shattered glass blocked the view of her face, we were smiling and waving at the camera, this was the first day She... we played Volleyball.

We were only 8, only a little, too young to realize how important this sport would be in our future. I feel my heart break a little more and I place down the photo. I stare up at the ceiling for a while, the talk of the teams quietened and soon it sounded like everyone was asleep except me.

I lay there staring out the window, the trees swaying side to side as the nighttime wind blew. I couldn't sleep at all, that sickening feeling still lurked in my stomach.

I got up and went to the kitchen, the halls were empty and I could not hear anyone talking. I went down to the bottom floor and turned on the light to the kitchen.

I went into the kitchen a pulled out some bowls, I got all the ingredients for some cookies and got to baking. After a long time, I took out the cookies and placed them on a plate.

I jumped up on the couch and nibbled on a biscuit lightly so I didn't burn myself. I heard foot steps and I looked over to see Aone, a team mate from Date Tech.

He gave me a cold look, well even though his eyes glared at me I could tell he wasn't glaring he was either tied or that was his resting face.

"Hey" I smiled lightly, he stayed silent as he stood in the door way. I noticed he never talked to people so I guess it's fine. "Why are you up?" I asked.

Suddenly there was a growl coming from his stomach "Hungry" He said quietly, his voice smooth yet deep. I picked-up the plate and held it out to him, "Want one?" I asked, he nodded and walked into the kitchen.

He walked over and took a cookie, he was still taller than me as I sat on the high bench. There was a quiet silence as we ate, I was thinking about what had happened before, I wasn't paying attention and must of let a tear drop because suddenly Aone spoke.

"Are you... ok?" He asked I looked up at him with a surprised and shocked expression. "Y-Yeah. I'm fine" I said half heartedly as I wiped the tear away.

~Aone's POV~

She let me eat some of the cookies she had just made, as I ate I watched her, her eyes suddenly dulled and she stopped eating. A hurt and pained expression covered her face. Her eyes suddenly started to water and a tear dripped down her (S/C) skin.

I never talk and to be honest I don't like talking to people, but something in me forced me to speak "Are you... ok?" I asked she looked up at me.

Her (E/C) eyes were watery and had tears in them as she looked at me with a pained and shocked expression. "Y-Yeah. I'm fine" She said wiping her eyes with her oversized shirt sleeve.

I leaned down and looked at her in the eyes, she was trying to cover her pained expression with a smile but I could see through it, She realized this and looked away "I-I'm fine, really... I-I've just been going through some... stuff" She said deeply looked down and as if she was about to cry.

I hummed and nodded understanding she didn't want to talk about it, I took another cookie and learned agents the counter. I could hear her stifle the tears as she ate. I place my hand on her leg and patted it sympathetically.

She breathed in sharply and hugged into my chest, I could feel her take sharp breaths crying into my shirt, I stroked her hair and waited for her to calm down.

This girl... I had seen her all through the day, she was so powerful and strong, she was so cool and confident like nothing bother her but now she's breaking down right in front of me, crying into my chest.

This was a side of her I bet no one had ever seen, she is the kind of girl that doesn't cry because she's weak but cried because she's been too strong for too long.

She soon calmed down and looked up at me, she gave me a sad smile and hugged me one last time "Thank you Aone-Senpai" She said, I blushed lightly realizing she called me senpai then calmed down.

"It's Fine," I said. She handed me the last cookie and we walked back to our rooms. I walked her to her room even though she said I should go on without her and get some rest.

I walked back to my room and opened the door, everyone was asleep as I lay down in my a sleeping bag, "Aone? Where did you go?" Kamasaki asked as he turned over in his Sleeping bag. I held up the cookie I had and said "Food".

He nodded and rolled back over going to sleep.

~The next morning~

Everone gathered in the cafeteria, the chatter of the morning that once filled the room stopped when a certain girl came through a... window?

The Window opened with a smash gaining everyone's attention, they turned to see (y/n) flipping through the window and landing on one of the tables, she stepped off and went to get some food that was prepared for her.

"Thanks, Angela" She gave the maid a tired smile as she left. She was wearing a red sleeveless hoodie which said 'first I need coffee' on it, ripped jeans, black converse, a star choker and a space backpack on her right shoulder.

She looked around the room to see if there was anywhere to sit, Her eyes landed on Aone. She smiled happily and walked over to his table, to say his team mates were shocked when she sat next to Aone and greeted him happily like a good friend was an understatement.

"Good morning Aone~Senpia" She smiled, he looked down to her and gave her a small smile "Good morning," He said. The Team stopped shocked that Aone both smiled and talked and so did most of the people around them.

"Aone?!" The Team cried startling the girl, "Since when did you know (L/n)~San?!" Koganegawa cried, "I was making cookies last night and I shared them with him" She explained, "So that how you got that cookie".

The morning went by, (Y/n) Decided to follow Aone's team to see what they were doing, she stuck to Aone's side no matter what the other team mates said.

They went to the track and went on a run, she sat on the side and watched next to the garden, soon the Nekoma team came to the track to run as well.

She looked over to see Kenma, she was sitting out as well playing video games on a garden bench. I walked over and sat next to him, he looked up from that game and looked at me with a surprised expression. "Hi~" I chimed.

"Hi," he said back plainly, he went back to his game silently, I looked at what game he was playing "I love that game!" I gasped startling him slightly.

"What level are you?" I asked, he looked to the top of the screen "Level 34" He said, "I'm level 32" I laughed, he looked at me with a mixture of surprise and wonder, "How long have you had the game?" he asked, "I got it 2 weeks ago but I haven't gotten to play it in a while because of this camp" I explained.

"Oh," He said, "Later I can grab mine and we can connect so we can do it together in a guild?" I questioned, he smiled at me and nodded. There was a silence, I reached behind the bench and picked some roses.

I weaved 2 flower crowns and when I was finished I placed it on Kenma's head, he looked at me with a confused expression, 'cute' I thought.

I placed mine on my head and smiled at him happily, he gave me a similar smile. "Yo Kenma!" Yelled a voice, we both turned to see Kuroo walking to us, "We need to go practice in the---" He cut himself off seeing me with him and seeing out matching flower crown.

"Who gave you guys the flower crowns?" He questioned, "I just made them" I smiled waving. He gave Kenma a jealous smile then looked back to me "Can you make one for me?" he asked pointing to himself.

"Yeah, sure! What color?" I asked, He looked at me a little shocked, 'i didn't think she'd say yes' he thought. "A-Ah Red," He said thinking of the first color that came into his head.

She smiled sweetly and dug into a bush, her legs kicking in the air as she reached for a final flower, She got up and walked with the boys who were now leaving the gym.

Once they were in there she sat down on the floor with her legs tucked under her butt, she soon started to weave a flower crown for Kuroo.

She looked up and could see Kenma playing with his crown on, this made her smile until she quickly looked away before she started to think of her bad memories.

Soon the boys were having a rest, Kuroo sat down and let out an exhausted sigh. Suddenly something was placed on his head, he looked up to see the shimmering (E/C) eyes of (Y/n). her face was lower over his as she was looking at him, his vision blocked slightly but the bright red rose petals.

"Like it?" She asked happily, he moved the crown up more so it would fit on his head, he paused for a moment then gave her a sweet smile "Love it" He said back. she grinned at him then left "Wait! Where are you going?" Kuroo asked, "I have to meet up with some friends" She explained leaving the hall.

The hall was now silent one the big hall door shut with a click. (Y/n) went off to the school to meet up with her band.
