My head fucking hurts. I got the pain reliever that they prescribed and drank it. What time is it? 11:35am. I have to check work... but the doctor said to relax. I messaged Jenny and Miyaka, telling them I'll be taking the day off. I sent them any updates I got from JVA and other information. A minute later, someone was knocking on my door. I checked the peephole and it was Jenny and Miyaka. I opened the door and smiled.

"Waa! What happened?!" Jenny asked.

I let them enter my room and I was bombarded with so many questions.

"I tripped last night and I had to get some stitches" I told them.

"That must have hurt.."

"Take the day off, we'll handle everything today"

"Yes! We won't let you down!"

I smiled at both of them and thanked them. I still plan on watching the game.. I have not missed one of his game and I'm not about to start now.

I wore a hoodie so I can hide the bandage on my head. When the team left, I called a cab to take me to the stadium. I didn't have a ticket.. but I did use my badge to get in. I honestly don't know where to sit or stand for the game... I saw Jenny and Miyaka coming out, the team should be just behind them.

"Ano, Aya?" Jenny called, recognizing me immediately even with a mask and hoodie.

"hehe.. hi" I said sheepishly.

"You're supposed to be relaxing.. even Ishikawa-san mentioned it earlier when the team asked where you were" Jenny said.

"Well.. I haven't missed a single match that Ran played in so..." I tried to explain.

Both of them shook their head in disappointment.

"I'll go ahead and find somewhere to sit, Yuki-senpai would kill me if he sees me" I told them.

"A little too late for that" Miyaka said, looking to her left.

I looked at to where she was looking at and lo and behold.. Yuki-senpai looking disappointed. He quickly walked towards us, his head shaking.

"I told you to take the day off" he said.

"Yeah, I'm not working.. I'm just here to watch" 

"Watch in bed, you're going back to the hotel"

"Senpai.."

"Aya.."

"Ano... Ishikawa-san, we'll take care of her" Miyaka butted in.

"I'll be fine, I'll go back if I feel off or weird" I promised him.

"Fine"

I just smiled. I then hear the team chitchatting, on their way to the court. Time to go hide now.

I found am empty seat just a few rows up from the side lines. I sat there kept my hoodie up. The team is doing their warm ups and I took a picture of Ran, posting it online, 'he looks good black.' Ran in black is just another level hotness, I sound like some crazy fan...

----- Japan V Australia  -----

Set 1...

Australia scored the first point of the match. Ran had a chance from mid back, but Australia managed to dig it but the ball went back to our side.. free ball. Yamamoto-san received the ball, Fujii-san setting up for senpai and... right down the line! 2-2.

Miyaura-san followed up, scoring through from an Australian block, ball going out of bounds. Lee-san hit an ace right after, 4-3.

I got notifications from Instagram, people commenting on the instastory I posted earlier. People are saying that he looks better in white, but I beg to differ.

Ran serving the ball hits different today.. he just looks good... could be the black jersey.

We're down by 3, 13-10.. Australia blocking and getting great digs and saves.. I hope we can pull through this and get to semi-finals.

Technical timeout, 16-13. Australia needs to make mistakes or something. Yamamoto-san has been great so far, everyone has, but the other team is just a bit better right now.

Saves from both sides, but senpai finished it from the back row right down the middle. Ran serving... he hits the ball hard... and ACE!! I jumped out of my seat cheering! My hoodie fell off and the girl next to me said something to her friend and pointed at me.

"Ano.. Are you Higurashi-san?" she asked.

"uhmm.. yes.."

"Can we take a picture with you? Also, what happened to your head?" she asked.

"Uhmm... sure, I fell and hit my head"

She took a quick selfie and thanked me. A minute later she posted it online, tagging me.

Senpai tied the game 18-18 from the front and another score off of Australia block that went out of bounds, 19-18. He went for a third one! Off of Australia block again, this time it went back to Australia's side...20-18. Beast!

And another one, this was mostly Australia's mistake after receiving the ball. The ball got close enough that all senpai had to do was touch it in. 21-18. They're definitely back!

Australia rallied back though, unfortunately.., 22-22, but we won the set 25-23.

Set 2...

During break, I got myself water so I can take the pain reliever prescribed to me. Apparently there are certain ones that I can't take within certain days of being concussed...

The boys scored the first point and after a good ass rally, they scored the second point as well. And another rally, senpai finishing it right down the middle.

Okay, so... I'm just going to say this once.. but Yuki-senpai's attack from the back make him look so cool. I mean, he's cool and all, but he just make it look cool. I don't know...

Also, is it possible to have Ran just serve all the time? He looks so damn good doing it.

Ran got a few hits here and there but they just keep getting blocked by Australia. Come on, let me see my love get some good hits. Currently 16-10, Japan.

Finally!!!! Ran from the back.. hitting it right down mid.. and there's that smile. We won set 2, 25-17.

Set 3...

I got a message from Jenny asking how I'm doing, I replied to her saying I'm fine, but honestly.. this headache is killing me. I decided to go to a quieter place to relax for a minute or so...

I got back just in time to see Ran score. I  think we got this match. I went down to the sidelines, careful for them not to see me.

Miyaka noticed me and went to where I was, which was by the tunnel to where they enter from.

"Hey, how's everything going?" I asked.

"No work, remember? But, if you must know, everything is going great. We'll do everything tonight so you can just relax" she said.

"That's good," I nodded to her.

I looked at the match, Ran just scored after Japan served and when Australia received the ball, it went back to our side, barely and Ran hit it. I was cheering and I swear they heard me. Otsuka turned towards our way, as well as Fukuyama-san. I quickly pulled my hoodie up and backed up a bit.
