Your POV

As everyone dries themselves with their towel I looked up at the sky. Unable to believe that she became friends with Murosakibara.

"Who was that girl?" Kagami asked as I looked at the guys.

"Azumane Rika, she a friend I've made when I started ballroom dancing. She's the kind of person that is shy with new people but once she gets to know you she's like a social butterfly." I stated as they seem impressed that she went from an outgoing girl with me but a shy girl with them.

"So is always like that?" Furihata-kun asked as I try to think back to how she was in school.

"Not really, she was super quiet and was often bullied by a few girls in our school. I started to hang out with her when I notice we were in the same class and someone had vandalized her desk." I said as they seem surprised by the news.

"She's also one of the very few people that you defended and got suspended for protecting her from bullying," Kuroko said as I chuckled a bit seeing that he would know about that day.

"What?! Why did you do to get suspended from teiko?!" Kyoshi senpai asked as everyone stared at us.

"I may or may not have broken someone's arm after many warning attempts to stop picking on Rika," I stated trying to not give a specific answer to them.

"So your very overprotective of your friends and that would explain your threats to those who insult us," Kagami said as I smile and see the rain.

"It's more than that Rika is a different story for everyone in our group. Ayame and Masaomi would help her with dance but even with the improvements, she would get insulted by her dance partner. In the end, she separated from him and I would help her with dance as her partner." They seem surprised that I danced with her.

"Is that even legal in competitions?"

"Yes, it's legal for girls to pair up and compete in dance competitions. Due to the shortage of guys not wanting to join dance they've allowed girls to partner up and compete." They seem surprised about the news.

"That would explain more about why you need a stronger leader," Furihata-kun said as I was curious where he heard that. My phone rang and I looked to see the coach calling me.

'Did something happen?' I answered her call.

"Yes coach, is something wrong?" I asked as

"You're with the guys right?"

"Yeah, we were going to head home why?"

"Well Momoi-san is here and it looks like something happened. Can all of you come to the gym right now?"

"Yeah, we'll head over there now. If she needs a change of clothes use the one I have in my locker. They might fit her but it's better than wet clothes."

"Don't worry I gave her one of my shirts. I'll see you guys when you get here."

"Right see you soon," I hang up the call and turn to face the guys.

"Coach wants to see us at the gym," they all seem surprised but I just ignored it.

"Come on or we'll be doing intense practice," I said as they groan.

'Honestly, why is Momo-chan there?'

Riko POV

As I closed my phone I looked back at the guys.

"I called (F/n)-chan and the others, she said they'll be here soon."

"What's going on?" Hyuga mumbled loud enough for us to hear.

"Who knows?"

"Excuse me?" We all looked to see her standing there.

"Thank you for lending me your shirt, it's a little tight though," Momoi-san said as I see it was a bit tight.

'Maybe I should get one from her locker after all.' I notice all the guys staring at her and blushing.

"Go run laps outside," I said as they all turn towards me quickly.

"What?! But it's raining," Hyuga said as waved to go. They eventually left as I told Momoi-san to follow me. We reached (F/n) locker which was locked but she sent me the locker combination to her lock. I open and see she had a few spare shirts some were big enough for Momoi-san to fit properly.

"Hey, maybe these will be more comfortable than that one." I handed a midnight open blue shirt with black sleeves.

"This is (F/n)-chan shirt," she said as I was surprised that she knew.

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"I was with her when she bought this shirt last year. The week before her mom died," she said as I was surprised that (F/n) mom wasn't alive.

"She never told you guys about that did she?" I shook my head as she looked at the shirt.

"What about her dad?" I asked seeing that we're on the subject.

"He died before she was even born, it's just her and her brother now. Tetsu-kun family tries to help them but they try not to ask for help." She said as she turns around to change and I did the same to give her more privacy.

"I didn't know that about her family, I always thought they were busy like her brother. It must be really hard for her to not see her parents." I felt bad for (F/n) seeing that she and Kuroko-kun are close. It's was probably her way to not feel so much alone.

"It is hard for her sometimes but as long as no one insults her mom she doesn't mind being alone. Though Tetsu-kun knows she hates being alone and going to hospitals are a major problem for her too," She said as I couldn't help but wonder just how much has (F/n) suffered when everyone around her we're all having fun.

Your POV

As we reach the gate to the school I began to sneeze again. Everyone seems worried but I waved it saying that someone might be talking about me. We reach the doors of the gym and see it was empty.

"Hey!"

"Tetsu-kun!" Momo-chan came in running towards Tetsu but I was surprised that she was wearing that blue shirt I bought last year.

"Momoi-san?" Tetsu seems surprised to see her here.

"Tetsu-kun!" She went straight towards him and tackling him down to the floor.

"Momo-chan what are you doing here?" I asked she looked at me and I notice her eyes were a bit puffy.

"What did Aomine say to you to make you cry?" I asked as I pull a tissue for her from my bag

"(F/n)-chan he... he hates me!" She said as she cried into Tetsu's shirt.

'That pervert is going to pay.' I patted her head but I received a message. I looked to see Haruto senpai had sent me a message.

Hey is Momo-chan over there? She ran off and Aomine seem worried. If she's there let me know, I'm worried she could get hurt or something bad could happen to her.

-Haruto B.

I began typing right away to let him know where Momo-chan is.

Don't worry she's here with me and Tetsu at our school. We'll make sure she gets home safely once the rain clears up a bit.

-(F/n)

Alright thanks, oh and the package has already been delivered.✌😊

-Haruto B.

Thanks, Haruto senpai for doing that for me. I better go and make sure that Momo-chan is alright.

-(F/n)

I put my phone away and brought a chair for Momo-chan to sit in. Seeing that she might get tired on the floor.

'What did Aomine do to make her think she hates her?'
