Chapter 8

Having a crush was a hard. It was hard and nobody understands.

That was what Tsubasa decided when he was slumped on his desk, his face buried in his open English homework. He's been trying to work on it for two hours now and he still couldn't do anything on it. Not because it was hard; Portuguese almost had the same letters so it wasn't that hard for him to decipher what matches what. It's only a matter of stringing them together to make sure it's English instead of Portuguese. Didn't mean it wasn't complicated though. But seriously, his mind has been in a complete disarray ever since he realized that he was crushing on Nakazawa Sanae.

What the heck was he supposed to do with this? He never crushed on someone before. This was the first time he was in this kind of situation. How was he supposed to handle this?

He turned to look at his phone beside him. It lit up for a moment, probably another notification for another text. Whether it was from Mamoru and the others or it was from Yuzo and them, he didn't know. He didn't really care at this point. He was too busy wallowing in pity as he tried to make sense of what exactly was going on with him and what's going on with his English homework.

His phone then began to buzz constantly, and he tried to ignore it as much as possible but it got too much that he gave up and raised his head, grabbing the phone off the table.

Did they really have to text him that much? It's not like he wasn't going to answer them.

Ball Boy: what

Y-man: wow

Y-man: wow…

Y-man: i see how it is tsubasa. go ahead bring on that attitude

Y-man: its nice to know that our friendship means nothing to you. i was just trying to grab your attention

If this was a few days ago, Tsubasa would have been gullible enough to say sorry to him, but knowing this other side of Yuzo and spending time with him, he wasn't amused anymore.

Ball Boy: i was busy. i dont have time to answer to your whims

4go: damn… that was a sick burn. man, tsubasa's getting ruthless

With friends like them who wouldn't be?

Ball Boy: and who's fault is that exactly?

Master Yoda: Ooohhhh.

Ringo: O.O

Shiba Inu: (・о・)

Y-man: im sad. i miss old tsubasa.

Ball Boy: old tsubasa doesnt miss you. neither does new tsubasa

Master Yoda: ahahahahahaha omfg

Master Yoda: SAVAGE

Y-man: *gasps offendedly*

Seriously people do those?

Y-man: why you gotta treat that way bro? I thought we had something special.

Ringo: apparently not lololol

Ringo: youre officially one of my favorite people.

Sunbae: ahahahahahahaha

Sunbae: yesssssss tsubasa slay him

Tsubasa couldn't help the smile that formed on his lips. She was here! And she laughed at what he said.

...God, he sounded like a lovesick idiot. This was hard. Where could he delete this feeling?

Y-man: what? why? im your best friend! why are you encouraging him

Sunbae: because you deserve it

4go liked Sunbae's message

Shiba Inu liked Sunbae's message

Ringo liked Sunbae's message

Master Yoda liked Sunbae's message

Ball Boy liked Sunbae's message

Y-man:... wow, you guys are assholes

Sunbae: all in a day's work, yuzo.

4go, Shiba Inu, and 3 others liked Sunbae's message.

Y-man: ANYWAY…

Y-man: have you figured out who you're going with for the Schools Tournament? Mamoru's trying to force me to go with them

Y-man: i told them no

Ringo: do they even have other friends? like most of the time theyre hounding you to go somewhere with them.

Ball Boy: they're too arrogant to have other friends.

Was what Tsubasa typed unconsciously.

Ringo:...

Ringo: yuzo's right. tsubasa's getting ruthless.

What? No he wasn't? Right?

Shiba Inu: Well, knowing us. We're bound to influence him. We're not exactly the nicest people.

4go: shiori, we all know you're an angel on earth. stop trying to say you're mean.

Shiba Inu: I can be mean…

Sunbae: i like this tsubasa. i think he's more down to earth, more real knowing this side of him.

Is that really what she thought of him? Oh gosh, he could feel his face heat up.

Ball boy liked Sunbae's message.

Y-man: wow

Y-man: wow…

4go and 3 others liked Y-man's message.

Tsubasa didn't get it.

Y-man: why don't you just kiss him. make it a lot easier for everyone.

Wha- Yuzo! You couldn't just tell something like that so suddenly!

Sunbae: what? what's that supposed to mean?

Sunbae: i dont think tsubasa would like me just invading his space like that?

Sunbae: and what do you mean make it easier for everyone?

Tsubasa swore to god if they all said something.

4go: nothing, nothing. yuzo doesnt know what he's talking about.

Sunbae:...

Sunbae:... you sure?

4go: 100%. yuzo's an idiot.

Sunbae: well, you're not wrong.

Y-man: you guys are all assholes.

Sunbae: love you too, bud

Y-man left the group chat.

Ringo: lololololol

Ringo: someone bring him back.

4go added Y-man to the group chat.

Sunbae: are you done throwing your tantrums?

Y-man: you didn't even let me.

Y-man: and im not throwing a tantrum.

Y-man: im not a kid.

Master Yoda: says the person who threw a fit when his headphones didn't come on the day it was supposed to arrive.

Y-man: i didn't throw a fit.

Y-man: and they said it was going to arrive on the 14th. Of course I would be upset.

4go: yuzo, it said it will arrive between the 14th-17th. they didn't explicitly tell you its coming on the 14th. besides, it probably got stuck in the post office for a day.

Y-man: but then they should have said that it was between the 15th-17th instead! i've been waiting for it for weeks!

Sunbae: omg yuzo, shut up. It came and you have it. stop complaining about it anymore.

Thank the lord someone finally said it. Even though Tsubasa did like seeing this side of Yuzo, he didn't think he could take another one of his complains about those headphones. He understood that he was excited for it, but if he had to hear him complain about this again, he didn't think he could take another day of his complaints and whining.

Y-man: you all suck

Well, he sucked even more, especially when he acts like this.

4go: anyway, are you going with Mamoru and them to the tournament Tsubasa?

In all honesty, he still didn't know. He would more than love to hang out with them at the schools' tournament, but he couldn't just ditch Genzo and the others. Besides they didn't even know he was friends with them.

And it's not like he didn't want them to know, they're just… they could be really shitty assholes when they wanted to be.

Sunbae: like i said Tsubasa, if you want to go with them, it's okay. we'll understand.

But he wanted to go with them. With her, Yuzo, Shingo, and everyone else. He wanted to cheer on the kids in their sports, support Atsushi and his friends in the game because without him noticing, they grew on him and he didn't want to throw them away.

Nankatsu started to mean something to him before he knew it.

Sunbae: i know they can be jerks and if you didn't go with them you'll never get the end of it.

4go: assholes more like. honestly tsubasa, i'm with sanae-chan here. if you can't help it, just go with them. we'll see each other somehow, and if you're with Genzo and the others, i guess you can pretend you don't the others.

He didn't want that…

Ball Boy: i feel bad though.

Ringo: bro, trust me it's okay. I'd rather pretend that they don't exist. youre fine.

Shiba Inu: i don't mind Tsubasa-kun. at least we know the real you outside of their influence.

Y-man: if anything, you can still eat lunch with us. we'd make an excuse so you can come with us and ditch them.

That didn't sound so bad… but he was still ditching Genzo and the others.

Before Tsubasa could reply he got another text from his other friends.

Mamoru: Yo, Tsubasa you're coming right with us right? To the sports tournament.

Teppei: Bro, you should. It wouldn't be the same with you. We could all make fun of the sucky kids at Nankatsu Elementary.

Hajime: Let's gooooo!

Tsubasa really didn't want to do that. He liked those kids, and they didn't suck. He made sure of it. Why were they going anyway, and forcing him at that? They never cared before. Ugh, this was annoying.

In his musing, another message from Yuzo and the others came, this one from his Sunshine.

Sunbae: go with them tsubasa-kun. we'll figure something out so you can still hang out with us. i promise.

Well, if she said so…

Ball Boy: okay…

Exiting out of that group that, Tsubasa went to the other group chat.

Tsubasa: Yeah, I'll be there.

There. It's done. He was going with Mamoru and the others for the tournament.

Locking his screen, Tsubasa threw his phone on his desk and put his face on his open English textbook.

He just knew that this was going to suck ass.
