The Volleyball Girl's Intention
For Sachi to throw that question as though we’ve been on talking terms for a long, I’d give it to her for being this bold.
If I count that brief conversation we had during the activity where I became the flag for our class, then this should only be the second time she directly addressed words to me.
We’ve passed by each other a lot of times and each time our gazes would meet, she’d always draw a meaningful smile while doing the gesture where she zipped her mouth.
I could easily dismiss her and not respond but judging from her bodily gestures this time, she looked like she finally found the right moment to interact with me.
For starters, I gave her a simple answer while remaining unperturbed. I also stretched my lips a bit to be seen as comely by her and the others in the group without slipping out any other facial expression.
Sachi didn’t take it lightly though. Her face visibly twitched as though she was not expecting me to easily brush her question.
