Chapter 23

                                    

                                          
"Why are you interfering now?" the boy wanted to know. "Why would I let someone from my class do that?" Atsumu asked right back, giving his classmate a more than disparaging look. His provocative manner and voice came out again, which Kaede could clearly see.
Her eyes turned to the Miya, but she could see Osamu a little further down the corridor. He must have almost forced his brother to come here. But why?
"Do you think you're better because you're on the volleyball team now?" came the question. "No, I'm just like you in the 1-2." Atsumu said, getting ready himself so that Megumi could feel a little better. Around him, everyone in the class was pretty quiet towards Megumi. This was also because he provoked everyone who had beaten someone up.
A soft snort could be heard, which Kaede understood to mean that he would probably listen to Atsumu. Apparently, the Miya was someone not to be messed with. 
"She asked about the glasses." Atsumu said now, as the boy opposite nodded briefly and one of his friends put the glasses in Kaede's hand.
"If I catch you guys trying to take Megumi down again, I won't be so nice." Atsumu warned the three, who shook their heads in disdain and went to their classroom. There really were a lot of people in this school who had no decency or respect.
"T..Thank you..." Megumi whispered when Kaede had given her the glasses. "You're welcome." smiled the brown-haired girl, who had looked at Miya.
"Why did you interfere?" she wanted to know from him, who had looked at her with a snide grin. "I thought the backpack thrower wouldn't be able to take on three boys on her own. Your physique doesn't exactly look strong."
"Oh, how nice of you. And your choice of words is probably at the level of a middle school student who never grew up." Kaede replied.
"What was that?" Atsumu asked as his eyebrow moved briefly and an arm immediately came around his shoulder. "Let's calm down and go to class." Osamu, who could really beat his twin, intervened.
Ea was right that Atsumu could lose his temper quickly. It was just that he was also very quick to take offense when he made a mistake. And even Osamu liked to take advantage of that.
"And we should go too, Kaede." Osamu simply addressed her by her first name, and she didn't say anything. There was only a nod on her part as she set off.
If Osamu didn't know better, she and Atsumu would become some kind of hate-friendship.
