It was summer, hot and sunny. After sitting in a bus for much longer than he wanted to, Yuuta arrived at this fancy private, all girl's school. Typically, schools tried to avoid having different genders go up against one another, as boys were seen to be stronger and better than girls, but the school had insisted.

So, that's why, on this Saturday afternoon, where the sun hung high, Yuuta and his team sat on the benches. Their coach was doing the whole 'hype up' speech, even though the boys knew they were going to win. Laughing, one of the teammates shoved Yuuta. "Look at them, I bet they're gonna cry when they lose!" He joked. Yuuta laughed along, though a pit of anticipation welled up in his belly.

Standing there, Yuuta stood on the first base, glove ready. One of the girls stood there, bat in hand, ready to hit. Yuuta couldn't help but notice the way the sun softened her features... Or maybe they were already soft? He didn't know. Too busy caught up in his thoughts, Yuuta completely missed the ball coming straight for him. Hitting him in the face, the boy let out a sharp gasp of pain, everyone's eyes towards him.
