Chapter 1
Tadashi hum himself as he watches the busy street in front of his window. The night is dark and late yet he's still awake for he's reviewing for his exam for the next day. He was exhausted, yes. He's sleepy and just wanted to call it a day yet he cannot because he has a grade and a reputation to uphold. He skimmed his notes for the last time and check his memory with his aesthetic flash cards.
Every student can agree that Tadashi is an exceptional student. He may come second in the overall ranking but it cannot be denied that he's very much talented. Everyone looks up to him and likes him.
This school year will be his last year in Senior High School and he has a goal that must succeed. He's in the top 2 in overall school ranking. It's exceptional, yes but he grew tired of it. He always does his best in every activity or lesson yet it seems that he can never beat the top 1 of their school, Tsukishima Kei.
He has resentment toward the guy. He's bitter that despite being more hardworking than Tsukishima he still has higher grades. It was unfair to him. He felt like his efforts were all useless. This year, he's gonna have Tsukishima's spot. He's going to take it.
Morning arrived and Tadashi needs to get ready because it was his first day!!!! He needs to look decent and respectable as one of the top students and as the School Council President.
He looks himself in the mirror and says positive affirmations out loud that could be heard in their whole house.
He's off to go now and just needs to announce his departure to his parents.
He arrived at school early and was greeted by the students. He smiled at them like the kind and sweet boy that he is and returned greetings as well.
" Yams!!!!" he searches for the voice and saw one of his friends, Hinata Shoyo the resident sunshine of their school. Everyone loves the walking sunflower wherever he is he always makes the place brighter and happier. He shines the most among students. He's a member of their school's volleyball club. He was called " The greatest decoy". Sounds weird if you'll ask Tadashi about it. Shoyo is very talented and everyone who saw him play will agree that he has a place in the volleyball industry.
" Hey Sho, why are you early today?"
" Of course, I'll be early!!! Today is the first day and the first day means there will be new students that will try out for the club!!!!"
" You're too enthusiastic for the morning haha"
" How's your vacation thou? "
" Oh it was fine we went out of the country this year for three weeks and after that, I just spent my remaining time studying."
" Studying sounds grueling how do you deal with it? I can't imagine myself studying for a long period! That's just torture!!!!"
" And I can't imagine myself playing a sport that exerts too much physical strength. That's just torture for me."
" We're too different. How are we friends?"
" Haha, we started being friends when you asked me to tutor you."
Shoyo and Tadashi reminisced about the history of their friendship. Their friendship is indeed peculiar. There are three of them the other one is still probably in bed sleeping and drooling on his pillow.
Both of them entered their classroom talking and laughing about their experiences. Tadashi ceased his laughing when he saw the other people present in their classroom. He rolls his eyes as he eyes the blond titan with glasses. God, he hates him. He remembers his goal this year and suddenly he became so motivated. He's thinking about how would Tsukishima Kei reacts if he beat him and destroy him. Tadashi is giggling inside. He hates him but he still needs to act civil and he cannot tarnish his reputation by being mean to his rival.
Tsukishima's friend, Kageyama Tobio is there and returned Tadashi's good morning. Shoyo approaches him and they talk about volleyball. Kageyama is their volleyball setter. Everyone calls him a prodigy. If Tadashi doesn't know these two he will think that they're together. But he knows them and he knows how Shoyo constantly rants about how annoying and cruel Kageyama is to him. It may look like they're friends but they're very far from that. Like Tadashi and Tsukishima they have a very unfriendly rivalry. Tsukishima is also in the volleyball club as a middle blocker.
Tadashi goes to his seat and prepares his book, he's going to review their lesson for today. He noticed that Tsukishima is observing him but he paid no mind to it. He's used to Tsukishima's very obvious observation. It was pathetic. He continues reading and studying until everyone arrives and their first period started.
The first day of classes last with Tadashi receiving compliments from his teachers that he's impressive and a competent student and a leader. He loves receiving praises. It gives him academic validation. Ge doesn't need any other kind of validation because he obtains many from being remarkable.
He went to the music club to practice his violin. He's alone in the room which is good for him because it makes him feel at peace and secluded from the other things outside. The music room is his solace and his comfort place.
He's playing to satisfy his heart's content but stops when he notices that someone is listening to him. He opens his eyes and saw the most beautiful person he laid his eyes on. He was speechless. This person, whoever he is captured Tadashi's heart. His heart swears to never fall in love. For him, love is nothing but a distraction and a way to destroy his plans.
But for this person, he's willing to destroy himself and forget every dream he has for himself.
" Hello, I'm Yuuji. Sorry for disturbing you it was just captivating, your music."
You can disturb me all you want! I won't complain! Stay with me! Oh Yuuji!!! What a beautiful name!!! I think I am in love!!!
