...

"I will now announce your rankings as of the World Five Match, and my arbitrary decision making." 

The room fell silent, as a sudden wave of adrenaline and anticipation washed over the group. The thought of Kunigami flooding deep into the back of their minds, they were egoists after all.
A sudden nudge to your side pulled you out of your mental monologue. "Hey. What do you think you are?" Isagi. Ever the guy to stick his nose in others business. "Higher then you." You whispered back trying not to die laughing. He just looked at you deadpanning, "Ha.  Funny Y/n." His response made your stomach hurt. He usually would laugh it off, so what's different?

"Your top six. Coming in at number six we have the lazy genius himself. Nagi Seshiro." 

Nagi looked up slowly-only after the subject was brought to his attention by someone else, "I see." Everyone not amused by his nonchalant persona carried on, sparing the fact that he of all people was so low. Now unease settled its was into every fiber and inch of the group, desperation seeping out of each individual to be recognized as the best. 

"Fifth, Otoya Eta." A man with unique hair grinned dabbing up whoever was closest to him. "That's whats up bro. Isn't there a chick in here? Yo where you at fine shyt?? You want a piece of one of the best?" He started looking around, as you watched Chigiri step in front of you, barely shielding you as you were taller then him slightly. Ego sighed and dragged his hands down his face as he opened his mouth to speak once again.

"Fourth. Tabito Karasu." The boy smirked darkly, "Shiii, I knew I was better then you 'toya." The two started bickering, you casting them a confused glare. 'Who are these people?? Where do they keep spawning from.'  The anxiety many felt, ran rampant throughout them, it was coming down to the wire. You gulped, fearing what your rank would be. "Third, which I'm not too surprised with, Y/n L/n." 

A breathy chuckle escaped your lips gazing over to Otoya, "Naturally, I'm one of the best." An evil chuckle sounded in your head, 'I'm totes aura farming these losers!' Grinning at the ground, "Y/n you look weird." "Can it slur spout-er." 

"Your second and first are obviously, Shidou and Rin."

"WHAT?! I'M TOTALLY AM BETTER THEN THAT NEPO-BABY NO-GOOD!?" Shidou said practically in fumes at the results. Rin scoffed darkly, "Just get better dude." He glared looking up from the floor to meet Shidou's wild gaze. "Stupid Itoshis. All you-" "Shidou. I'm sure Y/n wouldn't mind taking your spot. In other words shut up." Ego intervened, continuing: "Due to the odd number of players for our team matched tournament we are going to do, Bachira Meguru, you'll be helping us fix that." He glanced up smirking, "Aye Aye sir. " "CUTE!" 

...

You stretched your limbs as you glanced over to your other team leader, Tabito Karasu. The rooms they had given the team leaders were nice, as expected for the best in Bluelock. "You know I figured for Ego giving us 'nicer' sleeping quarters they would be less...mental institute like." Karasu looked over to you laughing, "Nah. I think he's on the right track, have you seen Shidou?" 

You both stared at each other for a hot minute before busting out laughing. "That was so funny. Stop he's mad at me right now." You said wiping away a stray tear. "How come?" You sighed, "He kept sending me a twerking old lady on Instagram, so I.. blocked him." 
You looked over to a hunched over Karasu, seeing his shoulders slightly shake, you realized he was laughing. "-AHHa. Omg. Thats so good, I'm crying."

...

As you sauntered into the cafeteria with you hands in you pockets, anyone would of mistook you for a delinquent. You slammed your foot on the table of the unsuspecting (he was expecting it) Isagi. "Join my team, or else." You said jokingly gesturing to you neck. "You're funny. Haha. Maybe if your lucky." You rolled your eyes plopping down in the seat in front of him. "Look stop getting your panties ina twist, join my team or don't, I'm not gonna be mad about it." He looked up from his food. "Yeah?" "Totally."

He nodded and got up to throw his food away as he left. 

*BAM* 

Your hands slammed on the table in front of you. "Stupid Yoichi. Thinkin' he's too good for me cause he solves puzzles on the field." You hated how this friendship turned kinda toxic lately. Silent battles of 'who's better?' turned from lighthearted jokes to do or dies. Most of all you hated how small and useless he made you feel without even trying. It seemed like he was the main character of an anime or something with the way everything seemed centered around him. 

"Hah! As if." You said kicking a stray can walking out of the cafeteria. You looked around to make sure no one was around before turning around and picking it up to throw away. 

...

As Ego announced your teams- it all went in one ear and out the other. Naturally, Isagi did not join your team. "Stupid glazer, LeBron dih rider." "Pfft-" You death glared Karasu who was laughing at your comments. You sighed, "Let's get this over with, I wanna meet Itoshi Sae.." 

Oh yes. Your latest folder for edits on tiktok, "Itoshi SAE YES LAWDDD" is what it was titled. You immediately looked up this 'famous football player' as soon as Rin flipped his shit that one time. Boy were you plotting. Ego's debrief ended and he dismissed you guys. 

As you and Karasu walked through the halls, you ran down the plan with him, "-and then I'm gonna score a totally awesome goal n' like that's totes gonna rizz that man up." He nodded. "For sure. He def is gonna want 'chu." His glaze looked a little to longing for your liking. 

You coughed awkwardly. "Yup! That's the plan.. Haha.."

"Hey I've been meaning to ask, what's up with 'chu n' Isagi?"

'Can't I ever catch a break??'

...

End.
