*The Next Day*

i follow shimizu-san into the gymnasium when i see someone unexpected.

please don't tell me that's him!! not blondie!!

i look around and see many unfamiliar faces, except for blondie..

then a tall guy comes over to us and greets us.

"hello, my name is sawamura daichi. i'm the captain of karasuno's volleyball team." he smiles.

i bow and give him a handshake.

"i'm (l/n) (f/n)! nice to meet you daichi-san!" i exclaim.

he rubs the back of his neck and smiles.

"everyone! gather round!" daichi-san calls out, "i want to introduce someone!"

i died again for the second time today. my soul returned to my body, just for it to leave again. i'm not scared of public speaking, i just don't want to face blondie. uwahh!! i keep ending up in such embarrassing situations!

"(l/n)" kiyoko-san says, poking me.

"r-right!" i stutter.

i look around and i see blondie staring at me with a smirk. i get all red again.

"a second manager????" two voices shout.

"she's just as gorgeous as kiyoko-san!!" a bald guy exclaims.

they both come running over to me when daichi-san grabs them by their collars.

"don't scare her off already!" he scold them.

i laugh and they both stare at me with a huge smile.

"her laugh is so pretty!" they both drool.

"hiya! my names yu nishinoya! but please do call me noya-senpai." noya-senpai grins.

i smile and wave at him.

"ryūnosuke tanaka, pleased to meet you." tanaka-san smirks.

"h-hi! i'm (l/n) (f/n). i'm a first-year and uh yeah. i moved here from Tokyo." i chuckle.

"wohhh! hiya (l/n)!! i'm shoyo hinata!" a short ginger kid says.

"are you a middle schooler..? aren't you a little too young to be here? or did you skip a grade?" i ask innocently.

everyone bursts out laughing and shoyo was red.

"shoyo, i knew you were short but i didn't know you were THAT short!" tsukishima laughs and everyone laughs even more.

i suddenly feel bad,

"a-ah!! i'm so sorry shoyo! i didn't know-" i stutter while i give him a hug of sympathy.

"o-oh.. it's alright." shoyo says with a red face.

"hinata's so lucky!! he has been blessed with (l/n)-chan's hug!" noya and tanaka-senpai shout.

i bury my face in my hands.

"Alright, alright everyone calm down." a middle aged man says.

"Hi, I'm Coach Ukai." he introduces himself, "boys, introduce yourself to (l/n)."

"hi! i'm koushi sugawara! nice to meet you." a boy with grey hair greets me with a soft smile.

the same thing goes on and on until i've met every member. everyone seemed to be happy except.. blondie.

"seems like you listened to me after all." he says smirking.

i look at him with an annoyed face,

"actually blondie, i'm here because kiyoko-san asked me to. not because of you, so don't get too full of yourself." i scoffed.

he rolls his eyes at my remark and rests his arm on my head.

"hey! get your arm off of me blondie!" i shout at him as i try to get him off of me.

"what's that? i can't seem to hear you down there sweetheart." he chuckles.

my face starts to heat up like crazy. how could he call me sweetheart so casually? i try to hide my blushing face away but tsukishima notices. he crouches down right at my face and whispers,

"oi, don't go falling for me shortie." he winks.

"uwahh what?? a-as if i would fall for you, you y'all idiot! don't get so cocky!" i stutter as my face heats up more.

he laughs and ruffles my hair,

"sure, keep telling yourself that." he smirks as he walks over to yamaguchi.

i stand there, a blushing mess when shoyo walks over to me.

"oh, do you know tsukishima?" shoyo asks.

"yeah, he's my classmate." i reply passing him his water bottle.

"he's scary, but he's so tall and strong!" shoyo shouts.

i laugh and pat his head. his face immediately turns red, again.

"wohh, your hair is really fluffy! what shampoos do you use??" i gasp while stroking his hair more and more.

"stop that, you make him look like he's a puppy." tsukishima scoffs.

"because he is!! a very cute puppy indeed!" i laugh.

"tch." tsukishima scoffs.

"h-hey!~" shoyo blushes.

i smile. i'm actually pretty glad i decided to do this. it feels like for the first time.. i'm not doing something for my parents. i'm doing it for me. my smile becomes bigger.

"whatever." tsukishima mumbles, walking away.

i then continue my day with kiyoko-san teaching me what i have to do as a co-manager. i snuck a few glances at tsukishima and boy is he good. he's not as enthusiastic about it though. he looks like he's being forced to be here. i've watched kuroo play a lot before and he kind of reminds me of him. i miss tokyo （；'д｀）ゞ. i was so lost in my thoughts i didn't hear daichi call out my name and before i knew it,

bam

"(l/n)! OH MY GOD ARE YOU OKAY-" i hear shoyo scream.

i rub my face in pain. this is why i do not like sports. i open my eyes and everything was blurry. i blink repeatedly and i see everyone crowded around me.

"boke hinata, boke!!" kageyama yells at shoyo.

"I'M SO SORRY (L/N) I DIDN'T MEAN TO AHHHH!!" shoyo screams again.

"hey, are you okay??" sugawara-san says rubbing my back.

i nod.

"will you be fine?" kiyoko-san asks.

"yeah it's fine, i just need to use the washroom." i say walking out of the gym.
