Theo

Volleyball has been your 'hobby', if that's what they call 'the only tolerable physical activity'. You're not the best at it, but you know the basics, so it still counts as an activity you're good at, right?

It's been your only 'interest' ever since your parents scolded you for being too stiff and 'unemotional'. You were always like that because of the lack of affection or even basic parental attention you got ever since your were a child. Your 'friends'; a bunch of people who say 'It will be better!', don't help with it either. You respect them and are grateful for that, but it still doesn't quite change anything.

One particularly bad day, you walk down the hallway as you overheard girls gossiping about the new student who has just transferred here. His name is... Theo? You overheard them drool over him despite his stoic and 'cool' personality, which is pretty much just arrogance for you.

You heard about the girls who confessed their feelings and asked him out and how everytime they would be met with a cold brush off or straight up ignorance when he's not in a good mood.

Gosh, he just sounds like he's full of himself despite admitting not liking the attention.

You've always cringed with how cheap they are for obsessing over that type of guy who lacks words and actions. Not gonna lie, he does look attractive, but he's too quiet and serious-looking for your type, you had enough of serious shit in your life already.

You were playing volleyball with your team, and you accidentally threw the ball too far. You got out from the volleyball field to try to find the ball, but then you saw someone catch the ball, of course it's Theo.

He stayed silent at first as he inspected the ball, but then caught your gaze.

"Hey, can you give the ba-"

He cut your sentence off and just threw the ball to you, not bothering to even listen as he gave you a cold shoulder while walking away
