Chapter 2

And said yeah, I'm fine and how are you and then she talked to that someone in just a minute

And she sent a chat to someone and said that's amazing. How the—

She gave me a worried look and said heyy Himari Yuki just fell down the stairs near the changing room.

She is now in the changing room I think she is injured Himari said why would I believe you it could be some prank of ours

She didn't want to go but she couldn't risk. She thought Yuki was there for me when I was hurt. So, she rushed towards the changing room and when she opened the door it was dark and then Boom!! Something popped.

And Yuki appeared out of nowhere screaming happy birthday Himari with all team members. Himari had completely forgotten her birthday in the preparation of the match. Then she saw Chiharu also there as they all celebrated her birthday. And it was time for the match.

During the match she was still caution about Chiharu's action. She didn't want to be substituted again like in last match. She kept her cool and the match started the match was more complicated than she thought. Yuki was cheering for their team.

They could feel the tense in the air. The opponents were much stronger than before. The match started off hill, taking the point to the opponents. The match was tense but Himari couldn't remove the thought that Chiharu was playing but she was not in starting line.

But then the match stated taking a turn they couldn't even score a point. All the members started t tense up, they didn't even know what was going on they were all panicking. Then suddenly the Libro of the team collapsed to the ground.

She was taken to the infirmary, then Chiharu had to take her place. Himari was tense now; Chiharu was playing in the game. Himari was thinking how did Chiharu know that the Libro was about to collapse. Himari wasn't concentrated on the game,

They were losing the match so badly. It was 15 points to the opponents they can only score 1 point till now it was getting hard. They started to panic a lot; the set was obviously won by the opponents. The next set was about to start.

They all were nervous if they lose the match the senior players would not get to play in school ever again. The couch tried to calm them down and motivated them. The set was started they were all worked up and confident to win.

Surprisingly they were all doing well in the match but at the end they lost the match with 3 points. It was really sad and they lost their first district level match. Himari and Yuki were so devastated by their team losing.

But on the other hand, Himari was happy when her friends celebrated her birthday, she didn't even remember her own birthday. After everything at evening when Himari was walking home with Yuki some people came.

It was her fans they came and confronted her and told her she did a great work it doesn't matter if they didn't win. It only matters that they at least tried and now everyone is starting to like your play and your fandom is growing and she was getting famous.

She was happy to hear that no one was blaming her or any team members for the loss of the match. After everyone was gone Yuki and Himari were walking home talking bout random stuff. And suddenly Yuki decided to invite Himari over to her place.

Himari was not sure about it but Yuki said she was not able to talk to her because of the match practise. Himari agreed and both headed to Yuki's house. They both had a lot of fun Yuki's were not at home so they had a lot and lots of fun.

When it started getting dark. So, Himari was getting home. But Yuki insisted Himari to stay and they should have a sleepover together. Himari called her parents and informed them that she was at Yuki's place and not to worry.

Since Himari had moved from a different place with her parents, her parents lived in a different house and she lived in an apartment. They both had lots of fun together and then Himari found out that Yuki's financial state was not good at all.

Himari felt bad for Yuki but she didn't let that change her friendship and love for her. So, she wanted to help Yuki, but Yuki refused and asked Himari to swear she would not tell anyone about this. Himari agreed then the next day.

Himari woke up early and went home to get ready for school. When Himari entered the school campus. She saw some students standing in a crowd near the cycle stand. So, she acted like she didn't bother.

While going to class she saw from the window, down to the students who were standing in the cycle stand. When she saw what they were she knew for sure that it was her. She saw the students gather around Chiharu and was telling them something like she was the leader. And most of them were from the volleyball team.

So, she had new plan again. Himari thought to herself and went to class and when she reached. Yuki came to her with amazing news. Yuki had the evidence that it was all Chiharu's fault and there was one person behind everything.
