Ayumu had no idea that the time really flew this fast. As if she just started to do her revision yesterday yet today, she already got the result for her mid-examination. She didn't had gut or any intention to remember the days during examination anyway. Its kinda tiring but not like Ayumu could do anything for that. Kita was sure getting a little strict during those days.

And now, the time she got her result again, Ayumu didn't know either the result was enough to please Kita or not. To Ayumu, she done so much well already. She could see the improvement she made. But the marks she got probably would be not so good in Kita's eyes. Ayumu sighed on that. How could it be good in his eyes if she only got 69% for this one subject, 60%, 75%, 59% ㅡ the highest one was 90% and that was on her English subject. Her favorite subject.

Yesㅡher result was average which also enough with passing as long as not failed, but to Ayumu it was good already. Becauseㅡ she never got her Chemistry subject with mark of 69% before. It always below 49%.. But now, she did it even it was 69%. Didn't it call improvement?

Ayumu had her eyes locked to her papers ever since the teacher passed the result back to them. It was quite time already. Her eyes almost pop out just because she kept on looking at them without blinking. No matter how much she convinced herself it would be fine, even it was not enough to Kitaㅡat least it was enough for her. At least, she made improvement. At least, Ayumu knew she could do better for her final examination later.

But she could not stop worrying about Kita. Ayumu put her papers on the table as she rubbed both her hands over her face, massaging her forehead and her face muscles as she silently let out muffled scream. Then, her phone vibrated inside her coat pocket, surprising her who was in the middle of mental breakdown. Taking out the phone and looked over the text sender, Ayumu clicked her tongue with a heavy sigh left after.

Kita Shinsuke_Third Year

Bring the result to me later.

All of the subjects.

I wanna see.

"For godsake Kita Shinsuke." She scoffed and put her phone back, inside her pocket. She instantly bumped her forehead on her table. Her hand already balled to fist.

"Miya."

Ayumu instantly sprung up and looked for the caller only found Riseki smiled warmth looking at herㅡstanding by her table. His bag was already slung over his shoulder.

"Ya okay?" He asked as Ayumu forcedly herself to smile. "Me good but when I meet Kita, I don't know anymore."

"Stop worrying about that. As long as ya can see your improvement, then its enough. Next time, ya can go more and do better. Not like ya are going to stay like this and do nothing." Riseki cheered her up. Ayumu looked away from Riseki as she turned to look at her results.

"I know but. . ."

"Then, if Kita san doesn't satisfied with it, ya can tell him that even the teachers were surprise with ya improvement. Right now, the important is improvement, Miya."

A small smile stretched on her lips as she nodded. "Right?" She looked at Riseki who nodded his head.

"Now, let's us go to practise. Ya don't ve mentor mentee class right?" Riseki asked as Ayumu nodded as the answer.

"So, wanna go together?"

"Ya can head first, I have something to do. Don't worry I'm not going to be late." Ayumu grinned.

"Sure then. Me leaving first yeah." Riseki bid good bye, waving his hand towards her as he left the class.

For last time, she rubbed her face before she took out her correction pen.

"I'm sorry but for your heart sake, Kita...I don't wanna ha get heart attack or blood high pressure because of meㅡ"

For the first time ever, she felt so restless when she encountered with Kita. During the practice, she avoided Kita's big eyes as much as couldㅡeven she adored his eyes so much. She had no idea either Kita realised or not her weird behaviour around him. Not only avoiding his eyes but to stand close with him too, Ayumu would stay away. If she felt Kita came closed to her, she would walk away or start to have conversation with other members.

And just now, whenever she entered the gym to join others, the team members just dismissal from meeting with the coaches. Ayumu was so dying to know what was they talking and discussing about and she really hope that their coach would tell her as she encountered with him whenever he about to leaveㅡbut he said; "Shinsuke will tell ya later, okay?"

For real, Ayumu had this thought about no wanting to meet Kita at all now. She had made her mind to leave the school as soon as she took her bag at the changing room. ㅡher brothers, of course she would not leave them behind. . .The plan was, getting away from Kita as soon as possible. That's it.

Hence, whenever the practice ended, Ayumu was so fast to leave the gym and went directly towards the changing room. As what she planned, that what she was doing right now. Her heart was sure beating fast and her lungs were burning because of the fast breathing. However, not everything we planned would go as we planned. She not yet reached the school gate or even the school compound, it was still far from that but she heard her name been called. Eyes tightly closed as she stopped on her track. Ayumu gripped her bag strap tightly with cusses slightly left her lips.

"Miya." Kita called her again so she could turn towards him. Before Kita could call her for the third time, Ayumu already turned towards him. A sheepish smile decorated her face but Kita remained his face like always. Not showing that he amused or mad or disappointed or what. Perhaps, not yet till he saw her results later.

"Yeah?"

"Results." He handed out his hand, waiting for Ayumu to give him her result.

"Sure." She grinned and zipped off her bag and took her examination papers and gave it to Kita. Kita clasped them carefully as he scanned the paper one by one. By the time, deep inside her only god know how fast her heart was. Also in the same time, Ayumu could see other members were getting close to them as they just finish changing.

"Miya."

"Yes?"

The tone of Kitaㅡ she knew she would be dead. Did it mean, her technique just now didn't work?

"Ya can fool anyone but ya cannot fool me." Kita said, rose up her examination paperㅡshowed to her the mark. " If ya wanna change the mark with ya correction paper, then make sure it wasn't obvious. But right nowㅡ" he flipped the back page and show her the mark that was Ayumu's real mark still visible at the back even she used correction paper at the front. Her real mark was 59% but using her correction liquid paper, she traced the 59% to 89% instead.

"ㅡya not use ya correction paper here...and it still visible. Did ya don't even know how to do the thing right?"

Ayumu internally facepalmed herself. She tightly smiled at him but not say anything. She didn't know what to say right now. Kita's forehead already formed line. His fair face already displayed with frown.

"After all the classes we have, this is the only thing ya can get? Did what I teach ya, that I help ya not enough to get more than this?" He started scolding her.

"Kita, at least I make improvement. Praise me at least. Before this, my chemistry not even passed and now I got 60+. Ya should be grateful. Not my chemistry only okay. Ya can see my Physic subject made improvement too. Not like I got all of em fail..my literature got A..my history tooㅡ"

"I AM YOUR MENTOR MIYA." He emphasized the five words which made Ayumu instantly shut her mouth. "How can ya said that to the one who teach ya?"

Ayumu looked away. From a far, the team started grew worried for the two.

"Ya said, ya don't wanna dirt my reputation...and now I am yer mentor and this is the only thing ya gave me back?" Kita tilted his head. Ayumu scoffed, surprising him.

"Kita Shinsuke, the least I ask from ya is to tell me that I have done a great job. Is it hard to do? You are born brilliant so we are not same at all. Ya can get 90 even just by scanning the book..but me? Time after time reading and revision still there no possibility to get 90. The teacher can said to me that I done a great job because they saw my improvement and why not ya? Was it getting 69, 60, 59 is that stupid to you?" Ayumu said, feeling her eyes about to water. She was mad but at the same time she was sad.

She was sad that she could not get the right marks to reach Kita's expectation...and she was sad too because she really hope Kita would understand her more than the teachers did.

"At least, show me that ya appreciate my hard work. Through all classes I have with ya, even ya can see I'm working hard with my studies..or to ya, I still playing around? Even if there no classes, ya can ask Tsumu and Samu that I really followed the schedule ya ask me to. I know to ya this is not enough but to me, this is one of achievement. Is itㅡis it really hard to you to say, 'you have done great, Miya. Let's do better on the final.' is it really hard? If teachers can acknowledge my improvement why can't ya? Ya always with me not the teachers. Then why?"

Without Ayumu realised, a bead of tear escaped her eyesㅡleaving Kita speechless.

"Miㅡ"

Before Kita could finish his word to call for her, an unfamiliar voice echoed at the area. Taking everyone of them attention.

"Who are you to give my little girl so much hard time?"

Ayumu's eyes big when she turned around, seeing two guys who dearest to her. She could not believe her eyesㅡ but the two guys really walking towards where she was. Now her teary eyes indeed, let out a waterfall tears.

"Yooho, Ayumu. It's been awhile." He smiled and waved his hand towards her.

"How the fuck you can still smile when she is crying, shittykawa!" Iwaizumi smacked the back of Oikawa's head before he turned to look on Ayumu's direction which his face instantly to smoothened to concern one.

"Hurt, Iwa-chan. Of course I need to smile when I greetㅡ"

"TOO NII CHAN!! IWA NII CHAN!!"

Ayumu instantly running towards them which made both Iwaizumi and Oikawa gasped and not forgetting Kita too. Remembering that Ayumu had asthmaㅡ

"Ayumu!Don't run!" Both Oikawa and Iwaizumi warned her but she didn't listen to them. She ran towards them and hugged both on them instantly. Her cries muffled against their body.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I'm not going to do the same thing again. I'm sorry."

After Iwaizumi and Oikawa knew about her asthma attacked her again, none of the two called her back...and from their action, Ayumu also had no guts to call them too. And now, the two indeed came to her school. Kita and the team only looked at the three without say a word. Bold of you assume Atsumu and Osamu were fine with it. The one who two guys hugged was their youngest sister for god sake.

Iwaizumi caressed her hair as Oikawa pat her back before they broke the hug. A warmth smile up to both Iwaizumi and Oikawa's face. Oikawa wiped her tears away from her face before he said; " Where's your brothers?"

Upon that Ayumu's eyes widened. The thoughts of Oikawa perhaps gonna told Atsumu and Osamu personally terrified her.

"Too nii chan..please don't. Iwa nii chan please, don't. Don't tell em." She tugged their Aoba Johsai's jacket but the two guys already had their eyes on Inarizaki members. A smirk(?) or a smile(?) grew on Oikawa face when he spotted the twins.

"Say, Miya twins." His eyes intently looked at the twin so did the twins looked at him. "Would you mind to lend us, your sister?"
