Shiori Pov

*Ring* *Ring*

‘Ohh...It’s morning’

I turned off the alarm before i got up in my bed. I put my glasses before i went to the closet to get my school uniform and went to the bathroom to get changed.

My eyesight were pretty good but i already getting used to wear glasses everyday.

I sigh before i pack all of my things as i put the clip on the left side of my hair before a carry by bag.

‘It feels lonely and empty as how I feel everyday.’

I lock the door of my apartment and started to walked from the school. I always alone in my apartment since haru-nii was at the Camp of inazuma japan. After all, he only just visiting me here sometimes to my house before he became a Japan’s player.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

I arrived at the school gate as i look at yhe students who busy chatting and walking with their friends.

‘This is gonna be happen everyday just like before.’

I said to myself as I continued walking through the hallway silently while holding my notebook.

I still even hear those gossips and whispers coming from them.

“She’s here again..”- Student C

“Yeah..what a waste.”-Student A

“Even on how she walk..it has no sound...”- Student B

“Is she’s stupid or what?”- Student C

Sigh

‘Will they just stop doing that everyday?’

As i entered to the classroom. I sat down as our science teacher entered to our class and start discussing.

I just silently listening and taking down notes when sensei called me.

‘Here we go again?’

“Hinazuki-san, will you please explain to us what is cell?” The sensei asked me and I deadpanned.

‘Seriously....?’

He just can discuss that simple topic to us but instead of he just called me to answer his questions even though he can discuss that infront of the class.

I just left a frown on my lips before i look at sensei and answered it simply.

“In biology, the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body.A cell has three main parts: the cell membrane, the nucleus, and the cytoplasm. The cell membrane surrounds the cell and controls the substances that go into and out of the cell.” I finished explaining as i look at sensei who is just writing on the board.

I sweat dropped. He’s totally putting everything down on the board on everything I said.

He can be unpredictable sometimes!

“Okay Hinazuki-san you can sit down.” Sensei said as i sit down quietly before looking on the window.

Wished not sensei would notice me or else he will tell me another stupid basic question that all of us can answered.

I don’t even know what sensei wants but he already noticed me ever since he became our teacher. He already noticed my skills on his subject.

To the point even asking me infront of the class about those simple topics that mostly all of my class can answered.

He’s totally different from any teachers but he’s my favorite after all.

{RECESS TIME}

Now i was with my science teacher as i waited for him for The files that he’s going to gave it to me.

“Hinazuki-san.” Sensei called me as i stand up and went up to him.

“Here..” he gave me the blue folder and white USB. I look at sensei as i gave him an questioning look.

“Ohh..i gave that to you, since I noticed that you don’t have those usb and i had plenty one on my box.” Sensei answered.

He do really knows how to read me well. Just like a certain someone..

“But why sensei? This is important to you right?” I asked him and he just chuckled.

“You know what? All of those students i handle, your the most interesting one.” I mysteriously said to me before he continued.

“Ever since I came to Your class, your the only one who is silent but an active and smart student and also you had an competitive spirit... I never seen an such a student who had that kind on spirit. Even if you didn’t show it to your class, I always knwo that you want to learn more on my class.” He paused a moment as he lookat me and smiled.

“You also remind me of my daughter afterall..” He sadly smile make me look at sensei soften. He gently pat my head and smile at me.

“So I’d be grateful if you keep that USD, it has only an empty and has no info there so you cam put all the thing that you want to put. He said.

I don’t know but sensei really sincere about those things and it feels like he was really trusting me.But something was not right..

“Sensei... where is your daughter?” I asked him and he narrowed his eyes on me.

“She passed away...along with my wife.”

He sadly said to me making me look at sensei sadly but he just smiled at me.

I don’t know sensei had such a grief on his heart.

“Condelence sensei..” I softly said And he just shook his head.

“No its okay..” he paused a moment before he packed his things. Putting everything on the box and carry his backpack.

“I actually leaving tomorrow that’s why I gave this things to you since I always knew you able to handle it.” He said to me.

“And i know about what happened to you since your grandmother told me about it..” he said as I flinched a bit and look down and hold up my skirt tighten.

“By the way please take care.. I hope there’s someone who can make you happy..” sensei said before he walked away from me while looking at his back.

I softly smiled before i turn around and walk to the classroom while holding those things that sensei gave me. Sensei... thank you for worrying me, but I wished i was able to change everything,even myself.

___—___——__Timeskip)__—-__—___——__

Now i was walking home at the street. The light reflects on the street as some people who had a chat with their friends and family.

[•Someone’s calling•]

‘Ohh...there’s a call, maybe grandma called me..’

I picked up the phone from my pocket and answered the call.

“Hello.” I answered

“Ohohohohohoo\~” An mysterious voice echo on the call.

It’s feels like I hear this voice..maybe from the television.

“Uhmm...is there anything you need,mister?” I asked politely but he just laughed hilarious and I sweat dropped.

This guy’s somehow crazy!

“Let me introduce myself, I’m Zhao Jinyun, Inazuma Japan’s coach.” He introduced himself and I froze.

“Ehhh?!?” I shout on the phone.

‘I can’t believe this.....I am dreaming?’

I asked myself as i try to compose and calm down before thinking about how he gets my number.

‘Is he even an hacker just like me???’

I sweat dropped thinking my stupid throughs. Of course he’s not, stupid shiori,stupid!.

“Ohh are you speechless or what??” Zhao Jinyun teased me and I quickly answered.

“I-I’m not..I-it’s just i was s-shocked because you called me suddenly, b-but how d-did you get my n-number..” I stuttered.

I blushed on embarrassment because of what i did. Of course I’m literally shocked because my favorite inazuma japan called me. I also known Coach Jinyun because I watched the FF nationals and know those players afterall.

“Ohh\~, your grandmother gave your number to me..” he said and i was stunned.

‘Grandma gave my number to him..’

I think for a moment before i sat down on the benches, What grandma really wants to do? It is because I don’t have friends and often anti-social person.

I still remember what my grandmother said to me back then.

“Please Riri, Try to make friends and socialize to the others.”

“I only just don’t want to shut yourself anymore or I’ll be worried..”

‘I know grandma is worried about me but..’

“Your grandmother asked me to applied you as an Inazuma Japan’s manager since she said your gonna be helpful to the team” he said.

“Helpful,how can I be helpful? There is three managers already on the team.” I said.

“And also i need to attend schools, and focused on my studies.” I continued.

“But your grandmother already asked me to join you, but if you disagree to join, then your grandmother will respect your decision but if you agree to join, i will let you to go to school but only with afternoon sessions. Just what you said,we had already three managers so you won’t have a problem here.” He explained to me.

I paused a moment before thinking about it.

‘If I disagree, grandmother will respect my decision but she will be sad ,but if i joined, i can still continued to study...what should i do?’

“Your grandmother handle me your medical records after all.” He said and i froze.

‘She really do that?’

My grandmother was an professional psychiatrist and everyone knows her well. She even got an multiple award for also being an businesswoman since my grandmother own an organization called ‘GATE OF FREEDOM’ which she gave an free treatment and made a community to help the childrens who is abandoned. (Ps: Help the organization name is just a bit cringe like WTF—-)

Yes, I’m an granddaughter of an professional psychiatrist, Hinazuki Richiko. But my father was handle of those since grandmother stay at her office and visits me, she loves me more than her job but she still takes those responsibilities on it.

“But your grandmother is really sincere to get you here, it will be a nice opportunity if you got here as an official Inazuma Japan’s manager.” He said and he paused a moment before he continued.

“Or else your grandmother will be hurt because her precious granddaughter declined my offer as a manager..” he continued.

I tightened the grip on my phone before i left a sigh and answered him back.

“Are you manipulating me?” I ask sternly.

But for some reason he laughed at me causing me to sweatdrop.

‘Do i look like I’m joking to him?’

“I’m not joking.” I said bluntly and he laughed more.

‘This guy..’

“Hohohohphohoho\~ Gomen,gomen, I was just getting interested how you actually act right now, and you remind me of a certain someone..” he said to me.

I hear him sigh and calm down himself before he speak up on the phone.

“Well, will you accept to be an Inazuma Japan’s manager, Hinazuki Shiori-chan?”

He asked me.

‘Just like what he said.. if I decline the offer, grandma will be hurt...she’s eventually softhearted when it comes to me but I accept then....”

I take a deep breath as i answered his questions. I already made my decisions after all.

“ I accept the offer, I’ll be Inazuma Japan’s manager.” I said confidently.

This is the right thing that I will do and i will not back down.

“Ohohohohohoho\~ Thank you for cooperating with me Shiori-chan, starting tomorrow, you will be going to the camp but we have a match tomorrow so i wish for you to be here!” He exclaimed as i smile a bit..

Wait.....

Did i smile?

I questions filled inside my head before i say goodbye and end of the call before i walk until i reached own into my house and get inside.

‘I wonder what will happen tomorrow...’

I said to myself before i changed my uniform into my pajamas and t-thirt before i climbs onto my bed and fall asleep.
