You were head over heels for him. Your heart was basically in his control, he could break it whenever he wanted. You watched every single volleyball game just to see him and support him, but him? He just wanted you gone. He hated you, really. In his eyes you were nothing but another pathetic lovesick girl and he always makes sure to tell you hurtful words. Yet every time, you'd just stand there and take it, not showing how hurt you really were. You knew too well that he wouldn't care either way.

One day, your parents unexpectedly asked you to stay with them in the states instead. You'd get scolded if you refused, so you agreed. On your last week in Japan, you hesitantly approached Tsukishima in the school halls to tell him bye. You weren't sure if you should tell him, the chances of him not caring at all was high.
